A prototype large-angle photon veto detector for the P326 experiment at CERN
The P326 experiment at the CERN SPS has been proposed with the purpose of measuring the branching ratio for the decay $K^{+} \rightarrow \pi^{+} \nu \bar{\nu}$ to within $\sim 10$%. The photon veto system must provide a rejection factor of $10^{8}$ for $\pi^{0}$ decays. We have explored two designs...

description | The P326 experiment at the CERN SPS has been proposed with the purpose of measuring the branching ratio for the decay $K^{+} \rightarrow \pi^{+} \nu \bar{\nu}$ to within $\sim 10$%. The photon veto system must provide a rejection factor of $10^{8}$ for $\pi^{0}$ decays. We have explored two designs for the large-angle veto detectors, one based on scintillating tiles and the other using scintillating fibers. We have constructed a prototype module based on the fiber solution and evaluated its performance using low-energy electron beams from the Frascati Beam-Test Facility. For comparison, we have also tested a tile prototype constructed for the CKM experiment, as well as lead-glass modules from the OPAL electromagnetic barrel calorimeter. We present results on the linearity, energy resolution, and time resolution obtained with the fiber prototype, and compare the detection efficiency for electrons obtained with all three instruments. |
