The performance of the 30 tons liquid krypton calorimeter of the KEDR experiment during successful operation in 2004–2022 at the VEPP-4M e+e- collider will be presented. A brief introduction to the design, cryogenic system, readout electronics, and trigger will be given. The stability and of all aspects of the calorimeter operation will be discussed. The physical performance of the...
SoLID (Solenoidal Large Intensity Device) is a large acceptance spectrometer which can handle very high luminosity, being planned at Jefferson Lab, USA. The Shashlyk-type sampling detector will be used for the electromagnetic calorimeter for SoLID. Several modules of Shashlyk electromagnetic calorimeter have been built in our laboratory to study the structure and the performance. The machining...
The BINP SB RAS, in collaboration with Novosibirsk State University,has upgraded facility for boron-neutron capture therapy for the possibility of radiation tests on beam of fast neutrons with the integral flux up to 10^14 neq/cm2.
In 2022 the experiment on the study of the radiation aging of optical fibers for the laser calibration system of electromagnetic calorimeter CMS (CERN,...
Abstract. TileCal, the central hadronic calorimeter of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is readout by about 10,000 photomultipliers (PMTs). Earlier studies of performance showed a degradation in PMT response as a function of the integrated anode charge. At the end of the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) program, the expected integrated charge for PMTs reading out the most...
The next generation of collider detectors will make full use of Particle
Flow algorithms, requiring high precision tracking and full imaging
calorimeters. The latter, thanks to granularity improvements by 2 to 3
orders of magnitude compared to existing devices, have been developed
during the past 15 years by the CALICE collaboration and are now
reaching maturity. The state-of-the-art...
Various technological options of high granularity calorimetry are being explored and developed within the CALICE collaboration for future collider experiments. Two CALICE technological prototypes of scintillator-based calorimeter have been developed to address major challenges of system integration and to demonstrate the mass assembly capability for a final detector which typically requires...
