The performance of a sampling calorimeter consisting of tungsten and CeF$_3$ crystals read out with wavelength shifting fibers was evaluated in multiple electron beam tests and compared to a GEANT4 simulation. At the Beam Test Facility in Frascati, Italy, electrons with an energy of up to 491 MeV delivered a first proof of principle on the performance of the W-CeF$_3$ prototype. At the SPS-H4...

Precise timing capability will be a key aspect of particle detectors at future high energy colliders, as the time information can help in the reconstruction of physics events at the high collision rate expected there. Other than being used in detectors for PET, fast scintillating crystals coupled to compact Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) constitute a versatile system that can be exploited to...

The measurement of electromagnetic showers in a transversely segmented calorimeter may be subject to local containment losses related to gaps between the segments which vary according to the position and angle of the incident particle. Furthermore in the case where a significant amount of material is present upstream of the calorimeter within a strong magnetic field, some fraction of the...

The Cosmic Ray Energetics And Mass (CREAM) instrument was designed to measure high energy ($10^{11} – 10^{15}$ eV) cosmic-ray nuclei from hydrogen to iron in a series of balloon flights. Its follow-up experiment for the International Space Station, so called ISS-CREAM, is configured with four layers of Silicon Charge Detector for charge measurements, and an ionization calorimeter (CAL) for...
