Test and Simulation of a LYSO+APD matrix with a tagged Photon Beam from 40 to 300 MeV

Understanding the energy resolution terms for LYSO based calorimeters with APD readout at low energy (< 500 MeV) is relevant both for the completion of the KLOE-2 experiment, at DAΦNE, and for the design of the Mu2e calorimeter. In this work, we present a dedicated comparison between experimental data, taken in 2011 at the MAMI tagged photon beam facility with a crystal matrix prototype, and a full Geant-4 simulation of this detector. The crystal prototype matrix consisted of 9 2×2 × 15 cm3 LYSO crystals read-out by 10×10 mm2 Hamamatsu avalanche photodiodes (APD) surrounded by 8 PbWO4 crystals read-out by Bialkali photomultipliers for outer leakage recovery granting a total transverse cover…

The calorimeter project for the Mu2e experiment

The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab aims to measure the charged lepton flavor violating neutrinoless conversion of a negative muon into an electron. The conversion results in a monochromatic electron with an energy slightly below the rest mass of the muon (104.97 MeV). We expect to set a limit of ∼ 6×10^(−17) at 90% CL in three years of running, using an intense and clean pulsed μ^− beam providing ∼10^(18) stopped muons on target in three years of running. The experiment performs a strong suppression of potential background by gating off the prompts and performing precise momentum determination in conjunction with an highly efficient cosmic veto. The calorimeter should confirm that the candidat…
