A Fiber Detector Radiation Hardness Test
نویسندگان
چکیده
An intense 146 MeV/c pion beam was stopped inside a scintillating fiber detector made out of 12 planes with 16 pixels each, where every pixel consists out of 8 × 8 scintillating fibers of 500 μm diameter dense packed. The detector was irradiated for 52 hours to more than 1 Mrad at its center. Before and directly after the irradiation the detector has been exposed to a particle beam to compare the corresponding light output. This study was continued during the following three months using cosmic rays. No damage was found taking into account the measurement errors of 5-10 %. In contrast a 9 cm deep lucite degrader became irreversibly non-transparent in the irradiation region.

BSO Crystals for the HHCAL Detector Concept
We report an investigation on optical and scintillation properties and radiation hardness of four 20 cm long BSO crystals grown at SIC for the HHCAL detector concept. Their optical and scintillation properties, such as longitudinal transmittance, light output and light response uniformity, were measured before and after γ-ray irradiation. Progresses are observed in optical quality, light output...

The luminosity of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be increased during the Long Shutdown of 2022 and 2023 (LS3) in order to increase the sensitivity of its experiments. A completely new inner detector for the ATLAS experiment needs to be developed to withstand the extremely harsh environment of the upgraded, so-called High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). High radiation hardness as well as granular...

Test measurements on the silicon pixel detector for the beam trajectory monitor at the free electron laser of the TESLA test facility are presented. To determine the electronic noise of detector and read-out and to calibrate the signal amplitude of different pixels the 6 keV photons of the manganese Kα/Kβ line are used. Two different methods determine the spatial accuracy of the detector: In on...

The current paper describes the design of Fiber Optics Links for BTeV’s Pixel Detector readout. BTeV pixel detectors chips will be located as close as 6mm from the accelerator’s beam into the vacuum pipe. The readout electronics will be located at about 6cm from the beam, imposing strong constrains regarding radiation, mass, power dissipation, and size. The current development is the first prot...
