MOSARIX is a collaborative project between three research group in Sorbonne University to build a x-ray spectrometer (2-5 keV) portable to large scale facilities with high efficiency and good resolution. X-ray spectroscopy and coincidences experiment are planned. A prototype with a single HADP crystal with von Hamos geometry has been tested (resolution and efficiency). A fast time and position detector has been realized (patent and publication).We plan to build the spectrometer with 8 HADP (or 4) crystals under Helium atmosphere using a TimePix3 or a CCD camera. MOSARIX is a project of an x-ray spectrometer in the tender x-ray domain (2-5 keV) with high efficiency, allowing performing x-ray emission and coincidences (or covariance mapping) experiments using synchrotron radiation, XFEL, the future installation SPIRAL2/GANIL or CRYRING/FAIR. It involves 2 groups at LCPMR (Francis PENENT and Marc SIMON) and one group at INSP (Dominique VERNHET). The coincidences/covariance measurements will be between x-ray photons and ions or electrons. It would be the first time for such coincidences with energy-resolved photons. The spectrometer will be portable and will be brought to the different large-scale facilities. MOSARIX is a multi-crystal HAPG von Hamos spectrometer optimized for the 2-5 keV photon energy range. Its resolving power E/DE will be 4000. It will be equipped with a fast time and position sensitive detection system, allowing performing coincidences, or with a CCD camera. I. Scientific case and some possible experiments The accelerated development of x-ray sources, as 3 rd generation synchrotrons (and recent upgrades) or free-electron lasers, has opened new opportunities to investigate new phenomena by means of photoelectron and Auger spectroscopy, electron-ion coincidence techniques and x-ray emission. However, several processes of high scientific interests are still hard to measure; some of them require the measurement of photons with high efficiency, high resolution and even sometimes in coincidence mode. This is the purpose of MOSARIX development. As an example, we propose to revisit Resonance-Enhanced X-ray Multiple Ionization (REXMI) 1 with a significant amelioration of the detection of photons, i.e. measuring the photons not only with high efficiency and high resolution but also in coincidence with ions or electrons. This will allow accessing the involved intermediate states and obtaining a clearer image of the dynamic of the multiple ionization process. MOSARIX can also be used for the investigation of very low cross-section phenomena such as attosecond electron dynamics 2 and High-Energy Resolution Off-Resonant Spectroscopy (HEROS) 3,4. X-ray spectroscopy has also proved to be a very powerful tool to investigate quantum dynamics in heavy ions collisions with matter of whatever nature, dilute or condensed 5-7. A
A new design of a detector module of submillimeter thickness for an electromagnetic calorimeter is presented. It is aimed to be used in the luminometers LumiCal and BeamCal in future linear e$^{+}$e$^{-}$ collider experiments. The module prototypes were produced utilizing novel connectivity schemes technologies. They are installed in a compact prototype of the calorimeter and tested at DESY with an electron beam of 1 GeV $-$ 6 GeV. The performance of eight detector modules and the possibility of electron and photon identification is studied.
We report the successful commissioning and testing of a dedicated field-ioniser chamber for measuring principal quantum number distributions in antihydrogen as part of the ASACUSA hyperfine spectroscopy apparatus. The new chamber is combined with a beam normalisation detector that consists of plastic scintillators and a retractable passivated implanted planar silicon (PIPS) detector.
In this report we present the status of the MAgnetized Disk and Mirror Axion eXperiment (MADMAX), the first dielectric haloscope for the direct search of dark matter axions in the mass range of 40 to 400 $mu$eV. MADMAX will consist of several parallel dielectric disks, which are placed in a strong magnetic field and with adjustable separations. This setting is expected to allow for an observable emission of axion induced electromagnetic waves at a frequency between 10 and 100 GHz corresponding to the axion mass. The present document orignated from a status report to the DESY PRC in 2019.
In this Technical Design Report (TDR) we describe the SuperB detector that was to be installed on the SuperB e+e- high luminosity collider. The SuperB asymmetric collider, which was to be constructed on the Tor Vergata campus near the INFN Frascati National Laboratory, was designed to operate both at the Upsilon(4S) center-of-mass energy with a luminosity of 10^{36} cm^{-2}s^{-1} and at the tau/charm production threshold with a luminosity of 10^{35} cm^{-2}s^{-1}. This high luminosity, producing a data sample about a factor 100 larger than present B Factories, would allow investigation of new physics effects in rare decays, CP Violation and Lepton Flavour Violation. This document details the detector design presented in the Conceptual Design Report (CDR) in 2007. The R&D and engineering studies performed to arrive at the full detector design are described, and an updated cost estimate is presented. A combination of a more realistic cost estimates and the unavailability of funds due of the global economic climate led to a formal cancelation of the project on Nov 27, 2012.
Mu2e at Fermilab will search for charged lepton flavor violation via the coherent conversion process mu- N --> e- N with a sensitivity approximately four orders of magnitude better than the current worlds best limits for this process. The experiments sensitivity offers discovery potential over a wide array of new physics models and probes mass scales well beyond the reach of the LHC. We describe herein the conceptual design of the proposed Mu2e experiment. This document was created in partial fulfillment of the requirements necessary to obtain DOE CD-1 approval, which was granted July 11, 2012.
