LaBr3(Ce) is a very attractive material due to its ultra high light output and its fast response, resulting in a good candidate as a crystal for a calorimeter able to provide simultaneously very high energy and timing performances. We report here a first test with a cylindrical 3″×3″ LaBr3(Ce) crystal coupled to PMT (Photonics XP53A2B), where we explore the detector performances at relative high energies, on the region of interest for future charged Lepton Flavor Violation (cLFV) experiments, using photons in the interval of 55 83 MeV from π0 decays up to 129 MeV from the radiative capture of negative pions on protons. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract
LaBr3(Ce) is a very attractive material due to its ultra high light output and its fast response, resulting in a good candidate as a crystal for a calorimeter able to provide simultaneously very high energy and timing performances. We report here a first test with a cylindrical 3″×3″ LaBr3(Ce) crystal coupled to PMT (Photonics XP53A2B), where we explore the detector performances at relative high energies, on the region of interest for future charged Lepton Flavor Violation (cLFV) experiments, using photons in the interval of 55 83 MeV from π0 decays up to 129 MeV from the radiative capture of negative pions on protons. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
