We present two novel beam monitors designed for use in current PSI muon beams and upgradable for the High Intensity Muon Beam (HIMB) project beamlines: the scintillating fibre (SciFi) detector, a grid of scintillating fibres coupled to SiPMs, and the MatriX detector, a matrix of plastic scintillators coupled to silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs), both detectors having particle ID capability. The advantage of these highly segmented detectors is the capability to withstand the high beam rate and to perform total beam rate measurements. Furthermore, the use of the SiPM as a photosensor enables operation of these detectors in high magnetic field environments (up to 1.25 T). Both detectors have been tested in the beam at PSI and with continuous beam rates up to 108 mu+/s. The performance of these detectors as measured on the beamlines are presented.

Abstract
We present two novel beam monitors designed for use in current PSI muon beams and upgradable for the High Intensity Muon Beam (HIMB) project beamlines: the scintillating fibre (SciFi) detector, a grid of scintillating fibres coupled to SiPMs, and the MatriX detector, a matrix of plastic scintillators coupled to silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs), both detectors having particle ID capability. The advantage of these highly segmented detectors is the capability to withstand the high beam rate and to perform total beam rate measurements. Furthermore, the use of the SiPM as a photosensor enables operation of these detectors in high magnetic field environments (up to 1.25 T). Both detectors have been tested in the beam at PSI and with continuous beam rates up to 108 mu+/s. The performance of these detectors as measured on the beamlines are presented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
