Sumario: | The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector is undergoing an extensive
Phase II upgrade program to prepare for the challenging conditions of the
High-Luminosity LHC starting in 2027. In particular, a new timing detector, the
Mip Timing Detector (MTD) will measure minimum ionizing particles with a time
resolution of 30–50 ps. The technology selected for the central part of the detector,
the Barrel Timing Layer, consists of scintillating crystals of lutetium yttrium orthosilicate
doped with cerium (LYSO:Ce) read out with Silicon Photo-Multipliers.
A study of the performances of LYSO samples from different producers has been
performed last year in Rome; in this report the experimental setup is described and
the optical measurements are presented. |
