چکیده
The NA48 collaboration is preparing a new experiment at CERN aiming to study CP violation in the K K0 system with an accuracy of 2 10 4 in the parameter Re( = ). Decays into two 's will be recorded by a quasi-homogeneous liquid krypton calorimeter. A liquid krypton calorimeter has been chosen to combine good energy, position and time resolution with precise charge calibration and long-term stability. The prototype calorimeter incorporating the nal design of the electrode read-out structure is presented in this paper. An energy resolution of ' 3:5% p E with a constant term smaller than 0:5% has been obtained. The time resolution was found to be better than 300 ps above 15 GeV.

We built and tested on charged particle beams the high energy-resolution calorimeter for the CHORUS experiment, which searches for νμ-ντ oscillations in the CERN Wide Band Neutrino beam. This calorimeter is longitudinally divided into three sectors: one electromagnetic and two hadronic. The first two upstream sectors are made of lead and plastic scintillating fibers in a volume ratio of 4/1, an...

The method of Maximum Entropy has been applied to the reconstruction of particle positions and energy depositions in the electromagnetic calorimeter of the OPAL detector. The resulting information has been used in the identi cation of tau lepton decays into pions and mesons. The selection e ciencies and purities compare favourably with those obtained using the standard OPAL reconstruction algor...
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.

II. EXPERIMENTAL REQUIREMENTS ON CALORIMETER Decays of K mesons into ππ are reconstructed imposing that the four photons detected by the calorimeter have invariant mass equal to the kaon mass, checking that the kaon candidate parent is collinear with the beam direction, and that gamma pairs can be reconstructed as originating from π decays. The main detector requirements can be classified as fo...

An enhanced production of dileptons { ee or + pairs {, over those expected from known hadronic sources, has been observed by CERES, HELIOS-3 and NA38 in S-induced interactions on heavy targets at 200 GeV/nucleon. The excess covers the mass range from 200 MeV/c up to the J= . There is no clear evidence of a signal in the search for direct photons. All the experimental results seem to be fairly c...
