[Luisa Occhiuto] Characterization and performance studies for the photosensors of the dual radiator RICH detector of the ePIC experiment at the future Electron-Ion Collider

di Roberto Preghenella

The Electron Ion Collider is a future particle accelerator that will be constructed in the United States. Its primary objective is to deepen our understanding of the strong interaction through collisions between highly polarized beams of electrons and atomic nuclei. The structure of the future detector includes a particle identification system based on Cherenkov light…

[Arnaldo Bartoli] Preparation and commissioning of a laser setup for characterisation of the ePIC-dRICH silicon photomultipliers at the EIC

di Roberto Preghenella

Il futuro acceleratore di particelle EIC (Electron Ion Collider) approfondirà le nostre conoscenze riguardo l’interazione forte, analizzando collisioni di elettroni con nuclei e protoni. Il rivelatore dell’esperimento ePIC presso EIC prevede un sistema d’identificazione di particelle, per il quale è stato preso in considerazione il rivelatore dual-radiator RICH. Quest’ultimo impiega due radiatori e integrerà appositi…

Giornate nazionali EIC_NET 2023

di Roberto Preghenella

Le Giornate Nazionali di Corigliano-Rossano sono la quinta edizione di una serie di appuntamenti annuali. I gruppi INFN interessati alla futura sperimentazione all’Electron-Ion Collider, (EIC) nuova macchina acceleratrice che sarà realizzata a Brookhaven (USA) ed è prevista entrare in operazione nel 2031, discutono stato e prospettiva del coinvolgimento italiano e dell’INFN in questo progetto scientifico internazionale. 

First European School on the Physics of the Electron-Ion Collider

di Roberto Preghenella

The first European Summer School on the Physics of the Electron-Ion Collider will be hosted by University of Calabria (Italy) June 18-22, 2023 at Corigliano-Rossano. The school is jointly organized by INFN, University of Calabria, University of Catania and University of Salerno and the Data Center ReCaS-Bari, and will explore topics common to both nuclear and particle physics.  

[Matilde Zucchini] Study of the performance of the prototype EIC dRICH readout based on SiPM with thermoelectric cooling

di Roberto Preghenella

L’Electron-Ion Collider è un futuro acceleratore di particelle che approfondirà la nostra conoscenza riguardo l’interazione forte tramite la collisione di elettroni con nuclei e protoni. Uno dei progetti attualmente considerati per la costruzione del rivelatore, il dual-radiator RICH, prevede l’impiego di due radiatori Cherenkov, sui quali verranno montati dei fotorivelatori per rilevare l’emissione della luce…
