210. A High Efficiency Cosmic Ray Veto Detector for the Mu2e Experiment at Fermilab

28/05/2020, 16:00

Experiments: Precision techniques at low energy

Parallel session talk

The Mu2e experiment is designed to search for the charged-lepton-flavor-violating process, $\mu^-$ to a $e^-$, with unprecedented sensitivity. The single 105-MeV electron that results from this process can be mimicked by electrons produced by cosmic-ray muons traversing the detector. An active veto detector surrounding the apparatus is used to detect incoming cosmic-ray muons. To reduce the...

124. The Mu2e experiment: a search for charged lepton flavor violation in muon to electron conversion

28/05/2020, 16:18

Experiments: Precision techniques at low energy

Parallel session talk

The Mu2e experiment will measure the charged-lepton flavor violating (CLFV) neutrino-less conversion of a negative muon into an electron in the field of a nucleus. Mu2e will improve the previous measurement by four orders of magnitude, reaching a 90% C.L. sensitivity to CLFV conversion rates of $8\times10^{-17}$ or larger. The experiment will reach mass scales of nearly $10^4$ TeV, far beyond...

153. The RICH detector of the NA62 experiment at CERN

28/05/2020, 16:36

Experiments: Precision techniques at low energy

Parallel session talk

RICH is the Ring Imaging CHerenkov detector of the NA62 experiment designed to measure the branching fraction of the ultra rare $K^{+}\rightarrow \pi^{+} \nu \overline{\nu}$ decay. The NA62 experiment took data in 2016-2018. An additional run is foreseen in 2021-2025 to complete the measurement. The RICH detector plays a fundamental role in the $K^{+}\rightarrow \pi^{+} \nu \overline{\nu}$...

180. ALPHA-g: a measurement of antimatter gravity at CERN

28/05/2020, 16:54

Experiments: Precision techniques at low energy

Parallel session talk

We will give you an overview of the ALPHA-g experiment at CERN to measure the gravitational force on antimatter, with the emphasis on the detector systems comprising the tracker based on radial-drift TPC, and the cosmic veto based on SiPM readout.

261. Ultracold neutron spin analysis - Counting uncharged particles and binning them according to their spin direction

28/05/2020, 17:12

Experiments: Precision techniques at low energy

Parallel session talk

The TRIUMF Ultra-Cold Advanced Neutron (TUCAN) collaboration is currently developing a new ultra-cold neutron (UCN) source to supply the neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) search experiment. Finding a nonzero nEDM, or improving its current upper limit, will shed light on the baryon asymmetry of the Universe (BAU) - given that any measurable nEDM violates CP-symmetry which is also a crucial...
