AI总结:

本文针对Mu2e宇宙线否决探测器关键区域光产额不足问题,测试了三十四卷1.8 mm波长位移光纤的光学性能与老化特性,并与1.4 mm光纤数据对比,验证了升级方案的有效性。

摘要:

费米实验室的μ子-电子转换实验所用宇宙线否决探测器由四层塑料闪烁计数器组成,通过内嵌的波长位移光纤由硅光电倍增管读出。为提高宇宙线否决探测器最关键区域的光产额以改善本底抑制能力,在该探测器许多关键模块中采用了直径1.8 mm的光纤,取代了原先计划的直径1.4 mm光纤。本文报告了三十四卷1.8 mm光纤的测试流程和光学性能,测量使用一台定制扫描仪完成。我们将这些新结果与此前发表的1.4 mm直径光纤数据进行比较,后者用于宇宙线否决探测器中不需要提高光产额的区域。此外,还进行了光纤老化测量。

英文摘要:

The Cosmic-Ray Veto detector for the muon-to-electron conversion experiment at Fermilab consists of four plastic scintillating counter layers read out by silicon photo-multipliers through embedded wavelength-shifting fibers. In order to increase the light yield in the most critical regions of the Cosmic-Ray Veto detector for improved background rejection, a 1.8 mm diameter fiber is being used in many of the detector's critical modules instead of the previously planned 1.4 mm diameter fiber. This paper reports the testing procedure and light properties of thirty-four 1.8 mm fiber spools, with measurements performed using a custom-built scanner. We compare these new results with previously published data from the 1.4 mm diameter fiber used for regions of the cosmic-ray veto where the increased light yield is not required. In addition, measurements of fiber aging were performed.
