Precision Crystal Calorimetry in High Energy Physics
نویسنده
چکیده
Crystal Calorimetry is widely used in high energy physics because of its precision. Recent development in crystal technology identified two key issues to reach and maintain crystal precision: light response uniformity and calibration in situ. Crystal radiation damage is understood. While the damage in alkali halides is found to be caused by the oxygen/hydroxyl contamination, it is the structure defects, such as oxygen vacancies, cause damage in oxides.

Calibration and monitoring for crystal calorimetry
Crystal calorimetry provides excellent energy resolution in high energy and nuclear physics. The light output of heavy crystal scintillators, however, suffers from not negligible damage in radiation environment. A precision calibration and monitoring thus is crucial for maintaining crystal precision in situ. The performance of calibration and monitoring approaches used by BaBar, CLEO and L3 exp...

The nematic to neat-soap (N-NS) and nematic to isotropic (N-I) phase transitions in binary solutions of cesium per-fluoro-octanoate (CsPFO) and water have been studied by high-precision calorimetry at The ratio of the heat-capacity amplitudes, above and below the N-NS transition, and the critical exponent a remain near 1 and 0, respectively , suggesting three-dimensional XY-type behavior. The c...
