Measuring Emittance with the Mice Scintillating Fibre Trackers
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) aims to measure a 10% reduction in a muon beam emittance to within 1%. To achieve this two scintillating fibre trackers will be placed within a 4T solenoidal field. The trackers utilise fibres with a diameter of 350μm to provide a position resolution of less than 0.5mm. Details of the tracker hardware, electronics and its calibration and reconstruction methods are presented, along with the measured performance under cosmic ray tests and the simulated performance in MICE.

متن کاملStatus of the Mice Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment*
Muon ionization cooling is the only solution to prepare high brilliance muon beams necessary for a Neutrino Factory or Muon Collider. The International Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) is under development at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL). A dedicated beam line generates a range of input emittances and momenta, with time-of-flight (TOF) and Cherenkov detectors to ensure a pu...
متن کاملDesign criteria for multi-layered scintillating fibre arrays with inclined columns
Multi-layered scintillating fibre arrays read-out are commonly used as high resolution charged particle hodoscopes. Fibres of a “column” along the geometrical trajectory of incident particles are typically grouped to one pixel of a multi-channel read-out device. In some applications the incident particles will cross the detection plane with large angles w.r.t. the normal to the layers. Then, th...
متن کاملCHARACTERIZATION OF Ce-DOPED SCINTILLATING CRYSTALS FOR IMAGING ELECTRON BEAMS AT THE APS LINAC
There is growing interest in using inorganic crystals as radiation converters to determine transverse profiles and emittance of electron beams. Some of the more commonly available Ce-doped scintillating crystals are characterized. Electrons generated from a low-emittance rf thermionic gun are accelerated to 220 MeV through the Advanced Photon Source (APS) S-band linear accelerator. Visible fluo...
