SiPM-based RICH detector at an upgraded Compressed Baryonic Matter experiment

J. Peña-Rodríguez, C. Pauly, K.‐H. Kampert

In this contribution, we present recent results of a feasibility study of upgrading the Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detector of the Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment using Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs). SiPMs fulfill the requirements for future RICH detectors in high-energy physics, such …

Towards a SiPM-based Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector at CBM: design, noise, and radiation hardness challenges

J. Peña-Rodríguez, J. Förtsch, C. Pauly, K.H. Kampert

Abstract The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment, at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR), will study the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter at high densities and moderate temperatures. CBM is composed of several subdetector systems, including a Ring Imaging …

Direct density estimation using muon radiography

J. Peña-Rodríguez

Muography or muon radiography estimates the density distribution of natural or anthropic structures by measuring the traversing flux of atmospheric muons. Muography has been used to image volcanoes, glaciers, tunnels, line-shores, pyramids, and dams. The mass variation in the structure is deduced …

A simulation framework for SiPMs

J. Peña-Rodríguez, J. Förtsch, C. Pauly, K.‐H. Kampert

Abstract We present a Python module for simulating Silicon Photo-Multipliers. This module allows users to perform noise analyses: Dark Count Rate, crosstalk, and afterpulsing. Furthermore, the simulation framework novelty is the capability of simulating assemblies of SiPM arrays for large area detectors …

MUYSC: an end-to-end muography simulation toolbox

J. Peña-Rodríguez, J. Jaimes-Teherán, K. Dlaikan-Castillo, Luis Alberto Nuñez

SUMMARY Muography is an imaging technique that relies on the attenuation of the muon flux traversing geological or anthropogenic structures. Several simulation frameworks help to perform muography studies by combining specialized codes: for muon generation through muon transport to muon detector performance. …

Muography is an imaging technique based on attenuation of the directional muon flux traversing geological or anthropic structures. Several simulation frameworks help to perform muography studies by combining specialised codes from the muon generation (CORSIKA and CRY) and the muon transport (GEANT4, …

Characterization and On-Field Performance of the MuTe Silicon Photomultipliers

J. Peña-Rodríguez, J. Sánchez-Villafrades, H. Asorey, Luis Alberto Nuñez

The Muon Telescope, MuTe, is an instrument for imaging volcanoes in Colombia. It consists of a scintillator tracking system and a water Cherenkov detector for particle energy measurement. The Muon Telescope operates autonomously in high-altitude environments where the temperature gradient reaches up …

LA-CoNGA physics (for Latin-American alliance for Capacity buildiNG in Advance physics) is an ERASMUS+ project aiming to support the modernization of university infrastructure and its pedagogical offer in advanced physics in four Latin-American countries: Colombia, Ecuador, Perú and Venezuela. This project is …

Muography for the Colombian Volcanoes

Luis Alberto Nuñez, Ricardo de Leon-Barrios, J. Peña-Rodríguez, Jose Sanabria Gomez et autres

We describe the Muography Program to study the Colombian volcanoes. Mainly, we discuss the criteria adopted for designing, building, and commissioning MuTe: a hybrid Muon Telescope. MuTe implements a composite detection technique combining a hodoscope for particle tracking and a water Cherenkov …

A lightning detection system for studying transient phenomena in cosmic ray observatories

Jesús Peña Rodríguez, Pedro A. Salgado-Meza, Leonardo Flórez-Villegas, J. Peña-Rodríguez et autres

Transients of the atmospheric electric field could cause anomalous events in the surface particle detectors of cosmic ray observatories. A better understanding of these incidents requires more accurate lightning data at the observation sites. We present the design and implementation of a …
