  • [Andrea Nicoletti] Analisi e ricostruzione dati in modalità trigger-less del prototipo del rivelatore dRICH per l’esperimento ePIC a EIC
    Lo Electron-Ion Collider è un acceleratore di particelle che sarà costruito negli USA a partire dal 2026. Il suo scopo principale sarà di studiare alcuni aspetti della Cromodinamica Quantistica (QCD). Il rivelatore principale di tale acceleratore verrà realizzato dalla collaborazione ePIC e comprende un dispositivo dual-radiator RICH per l’identificazione delle particelle cariche. Per testarne i…
  • [Elena Mariotti] Quality test and construction of the prototype SiPM optical readout plane for the ePIC-dRICH detector at the EIC
    L’Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) è un acceleratore di particelle in fase di realizzazione presso i laboratori nazionali di Brookhaven negli USA e permetterà di approfondire le nostre conoscenze sulla natura dell’interazione forte e sulla struttura nucleare, analizzando collisioni di elettroni con nuclei e protoni. Presso EIC l’esperimento ePIC prevede un sistema di identificazione di particelle, per…
