Title: Quality Assurance on Undoped CsI Crystals for the Mu2e Experiment

Abstract

The Mu2e experiment is constructing a calorimeter consisting of 1,348 undoped CsI crystals in two disks. Each crystal has a dimension of 34 x 34 x 200 mm³, and is readout by a large area silicon PMT array. A series of technical specifications was defined according to physics requirements. Preproduction CsI crystals were procured from three firms: Amcrys, Saint-Gobain and Shanghai Institute of Ceramics. We report the quality assurance on crystal's scintillation properties and their radiation hardness against ionization dose and neutrons. With a fast decay time of 30 ns and a light output of more than 100 p.e./MeV measured with a bi-alkali PMT, undoped CsI crystals provide a cost-effective solution for the Mu2e experiment.

Performance study of single undoped CsI crystals for the Mu2e experiment

Journal Article Donghia, R. - Il Nuovo Cimento C

The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab aims to measure the neutrinoless muon-to-electron conversion, which is a charged-lepton flavor-violating process. The goal of the experiment is to reach a single event sensitivity of 2.5 × 10^-17, to set an upper limit on the muon conversion rate at 6.7 × 10^-17 in a three-year run. For this purpose, the Mu2e detector is designed to identify electrons from muon conversion and reduce the background to a negligible level. It consists of a low-mass straw tracker and a pure CsI crystal calorimeter. In this paper, the performance of undoped CsI single crystal ismore »« less

Production and Quality Assurance of Mu2e Calorimeter CsI Crystals

Conference Diociaiuti, E.

The Mu2e calorimeter is composed of 1348 CsI crystal arranged in two annular disk. Starting from March 2017 the characterization on the crystals has started. After a visual inspection and the mechanical test performed with a CMM, the optical properties and the irradiation damages are measured at the same time in Caltech and Fermilab. All the crystals from Siccas have already been tested while the expected end of Saint Gobain production is October 2019. The crystals from both vendor show excellent performance in agreement with the experiment specifications

The Mu2e undoped CsI crystal calorimeter

Journal Article Atanov, N. ; Baranov, V. ; Budagov, J. ; ... - Journal of Instrumentation

We present the Mu2e experiment at Fermilab will search for Charged Lepton Flavor Violating conversion of a muon to an electron in an atomic field. The Mu2e detector is composed of a tracker, an electromagnetic calorimeter and an external system, surrounding the solenoid, to veto cosmic rays. The calorimeter plays an important role to provide: a) excellent particle identification capabilities; b) a fast trigger filter; c) an easier tracker track reconstruction. Two disks, located downstream of the tracker, contain 674 pure CsI crystals each. Each crystal is read out by two arrays of UV-extended SiPMs. The choice of the crystalsmore »« less

Design and test of the Mu2e undoped CsI+SiPM crystal calorimeter

Conference Atanov, N. ; et al.

The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab will search for the charged-lepton flavour violating neutrino-less conversion of a negative muoninto an electron in the field of an aluminum nucleus. The calorimeter plays an important role in providing a fast trigger filter,excellent particle identification and a seeding for track reconstruction. Its requirements are to provide an energy (timing) resolutionbetter than 10% (0.5 ns) and a position resolution below 1 cm, for 100 MeV electrons. The calorimeter consists of two disks, eachone made of 674 un-doped CsI crystals readout by two large area arrays of 23 UV-extended SiPMs of 66 mm2dimensions.A large scale prototypemore »« less

The Mu2e Calorimeter: Quality Assurance of Production Crystals and SiPMs

Journal Article Atanov, N. ; et al. - Nucl.Instrum.Meth.

The Mu2e calorimeter is composed of two disks each containing 1348 pure CsI crystals, each crystal read out by two arrays of 6x6 mm2 monolithic SiPMs. The experimental requirements have been translated in a series of technical specifications for both crystals and SiPMs. Quality assurance tests, on first crystal and then SiPM production batches, confirm the performances of preproduction samples previously assembled in a calorimeter prototype and tested with an electron beam. The production yield is sufficient to allow the construction of a calorimeter of the required quality in the expected times.
