The Cooling Storage Ring (CSR) External-target Experiment (CEE) is a multipurpose nuclear physics experimental device to operate in the GeV energy range at the Heavy-Ion Research Facility (HIRFL-CSR) in Lanzhou, China. The primary goals of the CEE are to study the bulk properties of dense nuclear matter and to understand the quantum chromodynamic (QCD) phase diagram by measuring the charged...
The HADES (High-Acceptance DiElectron Spectrometer) at GSI Darmstadt consists of a 6-coil toroidal magnet centered on the beam axis and six identical detection sections located between the coils and covering polar angles between 18° and 85°. The physics aims include the study of the properties of hot and dense hadronic matter—a key problem in heavy-ion physics—as well as elementary and...
In hadron hall at J-PARC, we plan to measure the cross sections for exclusive Drell-Yan reaction ($\pi^-p\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-n$) for determining the generalized parton distribution function. We are developing a TOF-tracker RPC to identify muons in this reaction. To remove background muons from decays in flight of kaons and pions, precise time resolution (~100 ps) and precise position...
The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment is a future heavy ion (HI) experiment planed to
be installed at the Facility for Anti-proton and Ion Research (FAIR) which is currently under
construction close to Darmstadt/Germany. The uniqueness of CBM is the operation at, for HI
experiments, unprecedented interaction rates of up to 10 MHz for Au+Au collisions at beam energies
between 2...
A real-sized trapezoidal Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) has been developed for
the Muon Chamber (MuCh) detector set-up in the upcoming Compressed Baryonic
Matter (CBM) experiment at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR),
Darmstadt, Germany. The detector has been tested for its performance with dedicated
self-triggered electronics and DAQ chain in presence of a very harsh...
RPC detectors combine several crucial advantages of excellent timing precision, high detection efficiency, and good spacial resolution, all at a moderate cost. This makes RPC detectors a prime choice for instrumenting large detector volumes for tracking applications where timing plays a crucial role. This talk reviews the ANUBIS detector concept using RPC detectors to search for long-lived...
The RPCs are widely employed in accelerator particle physics. Conversely, concerning cosmic ray physics, Argo was the only ground-based experiment which used this detector in a very extensive way. The brilliant results published by this experiment encourage to propose RPCs for further experiments. Indeed, they have the advantage of efficiently detecting very low energy secondaries and of...
In order to complement the searches of neutral Long Live Particles (LLPs) at the next
HL-LHC at CERN a new experiment has been proposed, which is called MATHUSLA,
to be located at ground level near the interaction point of CMS. The proposal aims to
build a massive scintillator tracking detector system to monitor a large volume of air
(100 m x 100m x 30 m) in search of decays from LLPs that...
The High Luminosity LHC will be a tremendous opportunity to search for long lived particles (LLPs) from an extended hidden/dark sector, feebly connected to the known SM sector. Such LLP searches will require special detectors, placed far away from the proton-proton collision point and shielded against SM backgrounds. The CODEX-b detector, to be placed behind a thick shielding wall inside the...
