273. PERFORMANCE OF THE LHCb DETECTOR DURING THE LHC PROTON RUNS 2010- 2012

Francesco Dettori (NIKHEF (NL))

Talk

The status and performance of the LHCb detector during the physics LHC physics run is described. The LHCb detector has a number of notable features including: 12 micron resolution in the transverse plane on 30-35 track primary vertices, pion and kaon separation from 1 to 100 GeV, and 1 MHz full readout of all sub-systems. The detector is being operating at twice its design Luminosity and the...

11. The CMS electromagnetic calorimeter: performance and role in the discovery of the Higgs boson

Talk

The signature of the two-photon decay of a low-mass Higgs boson is a narrow resonance, smeared by the photon energy resolution, over a large continuum background. The excellent energy resolution and photon identification capabilities of the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) at the LHC enhance the experimental sensitivity to this decay mode. The ECAL is a hermetic, fine grained and...

Talk

Simultaneous detection of the Cherenkov light and scintillation light produced in hadron showers makes it possible to measure the electromagnetic shower fraction event by event and thus eliminate the detrimental effects of fluctuations in this fraction on the performance of hadron calorimeters. In the RD52 (DREAM) project, the possibilities of this dual-readout calorimetry are investigated...

231. Construction and testing of a large scale prototype of a silicon tungsten electromagnetic calorimeter for a future lepton collider

Talk

The CALICE collaboration is preparing large scale prototypes for highly granular calorimeters for detectors to be operated at a future linear electron positron collider. After several beam campaigns at DESY, CERN and FNAL, the CALICE collaboration has demonstrated the principle of highly granular electromagnetic calorimeters with a first prototype called physics prototype. The next prototype,...

169. Polarization as a Tool in High Energy Calorimetry

Nural Akchurin (Texas Tech University (US))

Talk

The signals from a high-Z scintillating crystal (BSO) are studied to characterize Cherenkov light polarization and to measure the longitudinal polarization profile of Cherenkov light in electromagnetic showers. The scintillation and Cherenkov lights can be separated by making use of the fact that the latter is polarized in the context of dual-readout calorimetry. In addition, this unique...

247. A totally Active Scintillator Calorimeter for the Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment

Talk

The Electron-Muon Ranger (EMR) is a totally active scintillator detector to be installed in the muon beam of the Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) - the main R&D project for the future neutrino factory. It is aimed at measuring properties of low energy beam composed of muons, electrons and pions performing the identification particle by particle. The EMR is made of 48 intersecting...

137. A LYSO calorimeter for the SuperB factory

Alessandro Rossi (INFN Perugia)

Talk

The SuperB project is an asymmetric e+e− accelerator of 10^36cm−2s−1 design luminosity, capable of collecting a data sample of 75 ab−1 in five years running. The SuperB electromagnetic calorimeter (EMC) provides energy and direction measurement of photons and electrons, and is used for identification of electrons versus other charged particles. In particular we present its design, geometry...
