CTF3 (CLIC Test Facility 3) was an electron accelerator facility built at CERN with the aim of demonstrating the key concepts of the Compact Linear Collider accelerator. [1] The facility consisted in two electron beamlines to mimic the functionalities of the CLIC Drive Beam and Main Beam.
The Big European Bubble Chamber (BEBC) is a large detector formerly used to study particle physics at CERN. The chamber body, a stainless-steel vessel, was filled with 35 cubic metres of superheated liquid hydrogen, liquid deuterium, or a neon-hydrogen mixture, [1] whose sensitivity was regulated by means of a movable piston weighing 2 tons ...
FASER (ForwArd Search ExpeRiment) is one of the nine particle physics experiments in 2022 at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.It is designed to both search for new light and weakly coupled elementary particles, and to detect and study the interactions of high-energy collider neutrinos. [1]
Gargamelle was 4.8 meters long and 2 meters in diameter, and held 12 cubic meters of heavy liquid Freon. To bend the tracks of charged particles, Gargamelle was surrounded by a magnet providing a 2 Tesla field. The coils of the magnet were made of copper cooled down with water, and followed the oblong shape of Gargamelle.
The proton bunches for AWAKE are extracted from the CERN SPS and are transported through an ~800-meter beam-line to the 10-meter long vapor source of AWAKE. The electron witness bunches are injected behind the proton bunch. [4] To detect acceleration of the injected electrons, a dipole magnet is installed after the vapor, bending their path ...
Bunches of usually a few 10 9 antiprotons are skimmed off the AA and then decelerated by the PS from 3.5 GeV/c to 0.6 GeV/c. [5] [6] The bunch was transferred to LEAR where it could be decelerated to a minimum 100 MeV/c or accelerated to generally 1000 MeV/c. [5] For most experiments, a "beam stretcher mode" was used, where an ultra-slow ...
The ICARUS program was initiated by Carlo Rubbia in 1977, who proposed a new type of neutrino detector. [2] These are called Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LAr-TPC), which should combine the advantages of bubble chambers and electronic detectors, evolving previous detectors. [3] They detect neutrinos through the reaction: [4]
As the cross-section for Z production at ~600 GeV is ~1,6 nb, and the fraction of + decay is ~3%, a luminosity of L=2,5 · 10 29 cm −2 s −1 would give an event rate of ~1 per day. [3] To achieve such luminosity one would need an antiproton source capable of producing ~3·10 10 antiprotons each day, distributed in a few bunches with angular ...
