12. Imaging Hadron Calorimetry for Future Lepton Colliders

Dr Jose Repond (Argonne National Laboratory)

15/02/2013, 09:50

Talk

To fully exploit the physics potential of a future Lepton Collider will require unprecedented jet energy and (di)-mass resolution. To achieve this goal, detectors optimized for the application of Particle Flow Algorithms (PFAs) are being conceived. The application of PFAs requires calorimeters with very fine segementation of the readout, so-called imaging calorimeters. This talk will review...

260. Antihydrogen Detection in the ALPHA -Experiment

Petteri Pusa (University of Liverpool (GB))

Talk

The principal aim of the ALPHA experiment at is to trap cold atomic antihydrogen and study it’s properties, and, ultimately, perform precision comparison between hydrogen and antihydrogen atomic spectra. Recently, several important milestones have been achieved, including long confinement of antihydrogen atoms and the first spectroscopic measurements done on the antihydrogen atoms. The main...

282. The aerogel RICH for the Belle II spectrometer

Dr Rok Pestotnik (Jozef Stefan Institute)

15/02/2013, 11:20

Talk

For the Belle II spectrometer we are developing the proximity focusing RICH with aerogel as an radiator. It will be positioned in the small space between the drift chamber and the electromagnetic calorimeter inside a strong magnetic field of 1.5 T in the forward direction of the spectrometer and will enable the efficent separation of kaons from pions in the wide range of particle momenta...

85. A Ring Imaging Cherenkov Detector for CLAS12

Ms Rachel Montgomery (University of Glasgow)

15/02/2013, 11:45

Talk

The energy increase of Jefferson Laboratory's Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) to 12GeV promises to greatly extend the physics reach of its experiments. This will include an upgrade of the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) to CLAS12, offering unique possibilities to study internal nucleon dynamics. For this, excellent hadron identification over the full...

214. LUX: A dual phase Xe TPC for direct dark matter detection

Dr Richard Ott (UC Davis)

15/02/2013, 12:10

Talk

Direct detection of WIMP dark matter (DM) requires highly sensitive, ultra-low background detectors, which maximize the target mass. The two-phase Time Projection Chamber (TPC) technique, employed by the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) detector, takes advantage of the anti-correlated scintillation and ionization properties of liquid Xe to achieve a projected sensitivity of DM-nucleon cross...
