A liquid xenon calorimeter with VUV-sensitive photosensors measures photon position, timing, and energy. This paper concentrates on the precise photon energy reconstruction with the MEG II liquid xenon calorimeter. Since a muon beam rate is $3\text{-}5 \times 10^{7}~\text{s}^{-1}$, multi-photon elimination analysis is performed using waveform analysis techniques such as a template waveform fit. As a result, background events in the energy range of 48-58 MeV were reduced by 34 %. The calibration of an energy scale of the calorimeter with several calibration sources is also discussed to achieve a high resolution of 1.8 %. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2407.19417v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2407.19417v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 28 July, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2024. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">5 pages, 7 figures.

The DLC-RPC is required to have a radiation hardness to mass irradiation since it is planned to be placed in a high-intensity and low-momentum muon beam. In this study, the aging test using a high-intensity X-ray beam was conducted to evaluate the radiation hardness of the DLC-RPC. The accumulated charge due to X-ray irradiation reached about 54 C/cm$^2$, which is approximately half of the one-year irradiation dose expected in the MEG II experiment. As a result, the degradation of the gas gain was observed due to fluorine deposition and insulators formed on the DLC electrodes. In addition, discharges via spacers were also observed repeatedly and interrupted the DLC-RPC operation. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2402.19136v3-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2402.19136v3-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 8 July, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 29 February, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> February 2024. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">5 pages, 10 figures.

The unique feature of this TPC is in the detection part of ionization electrons, called ELCC. ELCC is composed of multiple units, and one unit covers 48.5 $\mathrm{cm}^2$. A 180 L size prototype detector with 12 units, 672 channels, of ELCC was constructed and operated with 7.6 bar natural xenon gas to evaluate the performance of the detector at around the Q value of $^{136}$Xe $0谓尾尾$. The obtained FWHM energy resolution is (0.73 $\pm$ 0.11) % at 1836 keV. This corresponds to (0.60 $\pm$ 0.03) % to (0.70 $\pm$ 0.21) % of energy resolution at the Q value of $^{136}Xe$ $0谓尾尾$. This result shows the scalability of the AXEL detector with ELCC while maintaining high energy resolution. Factors determining the energy resolution were quantitatively evaluated and the result indicates further improvement is feasible. Reconstructed track images show distinctive structures at the endpoint of electron tracks, which will be an important feature to distinguish $0谓尾尾$ signals from gamma-ray backgrounds. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2310.19714v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2310.19714v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 11 December, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 30 October, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> October 2023. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">33 pages, 24 figures, preprint accepted by PTEP</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Progress of Theoretical and Experimental Physics, Volume 2024 Issue 1, 013H01 </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.11902">arXiv:2310.11902</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.11902">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2310.11902">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="High Energy Physics - Experiment">hep-ex</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Operation and performance of MEG II detector </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=MEG+II+Collaboration"> MEG II Collaboration</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Afanaciev%2C+K">K.

Installed in a low-momentum and high-intensity muon beam, the detector is required to have extremely low mass and a high rate capability. A single-layer prototype detector with 2 cm $\times$ 2 cm size was constructed and evaluated to have a high rate capability of 1 MHz/cm$^2$ low-momentum muons. For a higher rate capability and scalability of the detector size, the electrodes to supply high voltage were segmented at a 1 cm pitch by implementing a conductive pattern on diamond-like carbon. Using the new electrodes, a four-layer prototype detector was constructed and evaluated to have a 46% detection efficiency with only a single layer active at a rate of $\cal O$(10 kHz). The result with the new electrodes is promising to achieve the required detection efficiency of 90% at a rate of 4 MHz/cm$^2$ with all the layers active. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2211.12172v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2211.12172v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 26 February, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 22 November, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> November 2022. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">5 pages, 8 figures.

Over 10 years of operation the measured light yield recorded by the scintillator based subsystems has been observed to degrade by 0.9--2.2\% per year. Extrapolation of the degradation rate through to 2040 indicates the recorded light yield should remain above the lower threshold used by the current reconstruction algorithms for all subsystems. This will allow the near detectors to continue contributing to important physics measurements during the T2K-II and Hyper-Kamiokande eras. Additionally, work to disentangle the degradation of the plastic scintillator and wavelength shifting fibres shows that the reduction in light yield can be attributed to the ageing of the plastic scintillator. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2207.12982v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2207.12982v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 26 July, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2022. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">29 pages, 18 figures.

The board readout the signal from 56~SiPM's through the DC-coupling and record the waveforms at 5 MS/s with a wide dynamic range up to 7,000 photons/200 ns. The SiPM bias voltages are provided by the board and can be adjusted for each SiPM. In order to calibrate and monitor the SiPM gain, additional auxiliary ADC measures 1 photon-equivalent dark current. The obtained performance satisfies the requirement for a neutrinoless double-beta decay search. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2001.02104v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2001.02104v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 6 January, 2020; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> January 2020. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">10 pages, 14 figures, This is a submitted version of conference record of IEEE NSS/MIC 2019</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science (Volume: 67, Issue: 7, July 2020) </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.09343">arXiv:1909.09343</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1909.09343">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/ps/1909.09343">ps</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1909.09343">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nima.2019.162803">10.1016/j.nima.2019.162803 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> AXEL: High-pressure Xe gas TPC for BG-free $0\nu2尾$ decay search </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Obara%2C+S">S.

The AXEL has a unique readout system called ELCC which has a cellular structure and photosensors to detect electroluminescence light produced by ionization electrons. We demonstrated the performance of the ELCC with a small prototype detector (AXEL-HP10L). The obtained energy resolution corresponds to 0.82 -- 1.74% (FWHM) at the 0n2b Q-value. We are constructing a new prototype (AXEL-HP180L) in order to study the energy resolution at the Q-value of 0n2b with a new design of ELCC with unit structure, newly developed electronics board, field-shaping electrodes, and Cockcroft-Walton-type high voltage power supply. For a future 1-ton scale large AXEL detector, we are developing new background-reduction techniques; topology identification with machine learning, positive-ion detection, and active-shield options. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1909.09343v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1909.09343v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 30 September, 2019; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 20 September, 2019; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> September 2019. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">10 pages, 6 figures, Proceedings of the 15th Vienna Conference on Instrumentation (VCI2019)</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.05141">arXiv:1908.05141</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1908.05141">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1908.05141">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="High Energy Physics - Experiment">hep-ex</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> J-PARC Neutrino Beamline Upgrade Technical Design Report </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Abe%2C+K">K.

The goal of this upgrade is to improve the Near Detector performance to measure the neutrino interaction rate and to constrain the neutrino interaction cross-sections so that the uncertainty in the number of predicted events at Super-Kamiokande is reduced to about 4%. This will allow to improve the physics reach of the T2K-II project. This goal is achieved by modifying the upstream part of the detector, adding a new highly granular scintillator detector (Super-FGD), two new TPCs (High-Angle TPC) and six TOF planes. Details about the detector concepts, design and construction methods are presented, as well as a first look at the test-beam data taken in Summer 2018. An update of the physics studies is also presented. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1901.03750v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1901.03750v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 14 October, 2020; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 11 January, 2019; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> January 2019. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">196 pages</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Report number:</span> CERN-SPSC-2019-001 (SPSC-TDR-006) </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.00752">arXiv:1803.00752</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1803.00752">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/ps/1803.00752">ps</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1803.00752">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics">astro-ph.IM</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/13/07/P07015">10.1088/1748-0221/13/07/P07015 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Angular dependence of columnar recombination in high pressure xenon gas using time profile of scintillation emission </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Nakamura%2C+K+D">K.

We measured both scintillation and ionization to study columnar recombination for 5.4 MeV alpha particles in a high pressure gas detector filled with 8 atm xenon. Since the recombination photons are emitted several~$渭$s after de-excitation emission, scintillation photons are separated to the fast and slow components. The fast component does not show dependence on the track angle relative to the drift electric field, on the other hand, the slow component increases when the track is aligned with the electric field. The result indicates that the track angle relative to the electric field can be reconstructed from the scintillation time profile. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1803.00752v4-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1803.00752v4-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 4 June, 2018; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 2 March, 2018; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> March 2018. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">11 pages, 11figures</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1701.03931">arXiv:1701.03931</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1701.03931">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1701.03931">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="High Energy Physics - Experiment">hep-ex</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nima.2017.09.015">10.1016/j.nima.2017.09.015 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Electroluminescence collection cell as a readout for a high energy resolution Xenon gas TPC </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Ban%2C+S">S.

To demonstrate our detection technique, we constructed a 10L prototype detector filled with up to 10bar xenon gas.

The purposes of this collaboration are (1) acquisition of shielding data in a proton beam energy domain above 100 GeV; (2) further evaluation of predictive accuracy of the PHITS and MARS codes; (3) modification of physics models and data in these codes if needed; (4) establishment of irradiation field for radiation effect tests; and (5) development of a code module for improved description of radiation effects. A series of experiments has been performed at the Pbar target station and NuMI facility, using irradiation of targets with 120 GeV protons for antiproton and neutrino production, as well as the M-test beam line (M-test) for measuring nuclear data and detector responses. Various nuclear and shielding data have been measured by activation methods with chemical separation techniques as well as by other detectors such as a Bonner ball counter. Analyses with the experimental data are in progress for benchmarking the PHITS and MARS15 codes. In this presentation recent activities and results are reviewed. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1202.2098v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none';
