67. A new generation of RPCs for next generation experiments

Giulio Aielli (ROMA2)

Oral Contribution

Searches for new and elusive physics phenomena with present and future HEP experiments will require increasingly performant techniques, for the ability to detect high particle fluxes with high granularity and space-time resolution.
The present upgrade effort of the HL-LHC programme offers solid ground and use-cases to develop such techniques. In the case of classic large area RPCs,...

29. The FAIR Phase 0 program of the CBM Time-of-Flight project

Ingo Deppner (Pysikalisches Institut der Universität Heidelberg)

Oral Contribution

In order to provide particle identification (PID) of charged hadrons at the future high-rate Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment the TOF group has developed a large-area Time-of-Flight (ToF) wall equipped with high rate capable Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPC). Prior to its destined operation at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) - starting in 2025 - this...

47. The SHiP timing detector based on MRPC

Alberto Blanco Castro (LIP-Coimbra)

10/02/2020, 16:50

Oral Contribution

SHiP (Search for Hidden Particles) is a new general-purpose experiment [1] to be installed in a beam dump facility at the SPS at CERN to search for hidden particles as predicted by a very large number of recently elaborated models of Hidden Sectors which are capable of accommodating dark matter, neutrino oscillations, and the origin of the full baryon asymmetry in the Universe.

The SHiP...

65. Secondary Cosmic Ray detection with RPCs: a state-of-art review and possible application in Space weather studies

Dennis Cazar Ramirez (Universidad San Francisco de Quito)

10/02/2020, 17:10

Oral Contribution

Resistive Plate Chambers RPCs detectors are mainly used in particle accelerators due to its fast response and high time resolution. In the past few years some research groups all over the world are exploring the application of RPCs in secondary cosmic ray CR detection.
The present work reviews relevant literature available about the application of RPCs as CR detectors and summarizes the main...

76. Exploring the lifetime and cosmic frontier with the MATHUSLA detector

Cristiano Alpigiani (University of Washington)

10/02/2020, 17:30

Oral Contribution

The MATHUSLA detector to be installed on the surface above and somewhat displaced from the CMS interaction point (IP) will cover an area of 100X100 sq. meter containing many layers of scintillators planes to establish the space and time coordinates of charged particle tracks. This is an unprecedented detector in terms of size and continuous sensitivity over an area of 104m. This talk describes...
