Crystal detectors have been used widely for decades in high energy and nuclear physics experiments, medical instruments and homeland security applications. Novel crystal detectors are continuously being found. Future HEP experiments require bright and fast crystal detectors with excellent radiation hardness. Cost-effectiveness is also a crucial issue for crystal detectors to be used in a large...

The recent progress in the micro-pulling-down technique allows heavy scintillating crystals to be grown directly into a fiber geometry of variable shape, length and diameter. Examples of materials that can be grown with this technique are Lutetium/Yttrium Aluminum Garnets. Thanks to the flexibility of this approach, combined with the high density and good radiation hardness of the material,...

he Mu2e experiment at FNAL aims to measure the conversion of a
$\mu^-$ to an electron, resulting in a mono-chromatic $e^-$ signal
with an energy of $\sim$ 105 MeV, and reach a single event sensitivity
of ~ $2.5 \times 10^{-17}$ in three years of running.
The calorimeter has to perform $\mu$/e particle identification,
support/improve the tracking pattern recognition and provide
a ...

The new facility SuperKEKB will be an upgrade of the existing KEKB electron-positron asymmetric collider, with a target luminosity of 8 x 10^35 cm^-2 s^-1, about 40 times greater than that of KEKB. The accelerator upgrade is based on the novel low-emittance "nanobeams" scheme.
The detector will also be upgraded to cope with the higher luminosity, pile-up and occupancy. We report here on the...

The MEG experiment searches for the muon lepton flavor violating
decay, $\mu^+\to e^+\gamma$. An upgrade of the experiment is ongoing,
aiming to reach a sensitivity of Br($\mu^+\to e^+ \gamma$) =
$5\times10^{-14}$, an order of magnitude better than the sensitivity of
the current MEG. To achieve this goal, all of the detectors are being
upgraded.
In MEG, the energy, position and timing of...

Simultaneous detection of the Cherenkov light and
scintillation light produced in hadron showers makes it possible to measure the electromagnetic shower fraction event by event and thus eliminate the detrimental effects of fluctuations in this fraction on the performance of calorimeters.
In the RD52 (DREAM) project, the possibilities of this dual-readout calorimetry are investigated and...

The High Luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) and potential future Hadron Colliders operating at even higher energies will deliver unprecedented instantaneous luminosities. The detectors have to cope with a very high rate of simultaneous collisions, referred to as pile up (PU). A powerful mitigation technique uses detectors with excellent time resolution which allows...

Hadronic calorimeter using GRPC as active medium is proposed in the ILD project of the future ILC experiments. A prototype of 1.3 m3 was built within the CALICE collaboration to validate the option proposed for ILD. The prototype is made of 50 GRPC detector of 1m2 size and 3 mm thickness each. They are fully equipped with a semi-digital electronic readout embedded on the detectors. A new...
