The NA48 LKr calorimeter digitizer electronics chain
The 13 500 channels of the NA48 liquid-krypton electromagnetic calorimeter readout electronics were put into operation in 1997. The digitizer electronics employs a new gain switching technique that expands the dynamic range of a standard 10-bit ADC to 14 bits at 40MHz sampling rate employing a custom-developed integrated circuit (KRYPTON). The KRYPTON has been fabricated in 1.2lm BiCMOS technol...
متن کاملThe liquid krypton calorimeter for experiment CERN-NA48
A quasi-homogeneous liquid krypton electromagnetic calorimeter is under construction for a precision study of CP violation in neutral kaons decays. The main characteristics of the detector are discussed, together with results on energy, space and time resolution obtained with a prototype detector.
متن کاملRecent NA48 results on rare K decays
The NA48 experiment has been designed for a precise measurement of the CP-violation parameter Re( ′/ ). It makes use of simultaneous KL and KS beams produced at two different targets, situated 120m from each other. The main two elements of the setup are charged particle magnetic spectrometer and liquid krypton electromagnetic calorimeter (LKr). The spectrometer consists of a dipole magnet with ...

The NA62 experiment [1] at CERN SPS (Super Proton Synchrotron) accelerator will be focused on precision tests of the Standard Model via studies of ultra-rare decays of charged kaons. The high resolution Liquid Krypton (LKr) calorimeter of the former NA48 experiment [2], together with other detectors, will provide a photon-veto with hermetic coverage from zero out to large angles from the decay ...
متن کاملSpace Charge in Ionization Detectors and the Na48 Calorimeter∗
The effects of space charge due to slowly drifting ions can be relevant for detectors operated at high intensity, or for relatively low values of the bias voltage. Accurate measurements have been obtained with the liquid krypton calorimeter of the NA48 experiment, from data collected in 1997. The build-up of space charge takes place during the first part of the beam extraction burst, and causes...
