The fast photon detection system of COMPASS RICH-1

2007

Abstract A fast photon detection system has been built for the upgrade of COMPASS RICH-1, the large size gaseous RICH detector in use at the COMPASS Experiment at the CERN SPS since 2001. The photon detectors of the central region have been replaced by a new system based on multi-anode photomultipliers coupled to individual fused silica lens telescopes and a fast readout electronics system, while in the outer region the existing MWPCs with CsI photocathodes have been equipped with a new readout system, based on the APV chip. RICH-1 has been successfully operated in its upgraded version during the 2006 run. We report on the upgrade design and construction, and on the preliminary characteriza…

Fast photon detection for COMPASS RICH-1

2007

A fast photon detection system has been built and assembled for the upgrade of COMPASS RICH-1. The system is based on multianode photomultipliers coupled to fused silica lenses to collect the light from a larger surface and to guide it to the photocathode, preserving the position information. The emphasis is on the fast response and high rate capability of the detectors and the associated electronics. The photon detection system is now ready and it will be employed in the 2006 COMPASS data taking. We report about the system design and construction.

Dynamical analysis of electron transport in RF cavities and photomultipliers tubes

2021

El objetivo de este trabajo es el estudio de la dinámica de haces y corrientes de electrones en cavidades aceleradoras de radiofrecuencia (RF) y en tubos fotomultiplicadores. Por una parte, los haces de electrones presentan una gran importancia histórica tanto en aplicaciones directas (televisiones, hornos de microondas, tratamiento del cáncer), como en la generación de radiación sincrotrón. La última generación de fuentes de rayos X muy brillantes se basa en los láseres de electrones libres (XFEL). No obstante, para producir los haces de electrones que emitirán dichos rayos X como radiación sincrotrón, se necesitan campos eléctricos de gran intensidad lo que produce que, debido a la emisió…
