NA62 is the last generation kaon experiment at CERN SPS aiming to study the decay K+ _ π+νν. The goal of the experiment is to measure the decay branching ratio (O(10−10)) with 10% accuracy, collecting about 100 K+ → π+νν events in three years of data taking and assuming a 10% signal acceptance. The NA62 detector must be able to reject background events from decay channels with branching ratios up...
The main goal of the NA62 experiment is the measurement of the K+ → π+νν̄ branching ratio with a precision better than 10%. One of the key element of NA62 is the Ring Imaging CHerenkov detector (RICH). It will identify pions and muons in the momentum range between 15 and 35 GeV/c, with a muon rejection factor better than 10−2. The RICH will also measure the particle arrival time with a precision better...
The existing muon detectors for high-energy physics experiments are mainly made of gas chambers such as Resistive Plate Chambers, Limited Streamer Tubes or Multi Wire Proportional Chambers. With the increasing luminosity of the new accelerators and the increment in dimensions of the experiments the development of a new detection technique, which is robust, cheap and capable to sustain high particle...
We present the technology proposed for the super B muon system. The detector is based on MINOS style extruded scintillator coupled to wavelength shifting fibers. The light readout is done by means of Silicon Photomultiplier devices. We report our R&D results about charge spectra and time resolution for different readout configuration; setup optimization and experimental issues are also discussed...
