The Electron-Muon Ranger (EMR) is a totally active scintillator |
---|---|
2 |
detector (TASD) to be installed in the muon beam of the Muon |
3 |
Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) - the R&D project for the future |
4 |
neutrino factory. The EMR is made of 48 intersecting layers. Each |
5 |
layer consists of 59 triangular scintillator bars. Each bar |
6 |
incorporates a wave-length shifting (WLS) fiber that collects light |
7 |
emitted by the scintillator. At the faces of each bar the WLS fiber is |
8 |
coupled to a light guide that transfers light to a PMT. Scintillatior |
9 |
bars are read out at both sides, one side is connected to a |
10 |
single-channel PMT and the other - to the 64-channel PMT. The |
11 |
granularity of the detector allows us to identify tracks and measure |
12 |
particle ranges and shower shapes. The EMR will be installed at the |
13 |
very end of the MICE cooling channel and will stop and measure all |
14 |
outgoing particles. Currently it is being built at the University of |
15 |
Geneva and it is planned to install it in MICE by the end of 2012. |
