R&D status for an innovative crystal calorimeter for the future Muon Collider

The measurement of physics processes at new energy frontier experiments requires excellent spatial, time, and energy resolutions to resolve the structure of collimated high-energy jets. Calorimeters, as other detectors, must face this increasing performance demand. In a future TeV-scale Muon Collide...

description The measurement of physics processes at new energy frontier experiments requires excellent spatial, time, and energy resolutions to resolve the structure of collimated high-energy jets. Calorimeters, as other detectors, must face this increasing performance demand. In a future TeV-scale Muon Collider, the beam-induced background (BIB) represents the main challenge in the design of the detectors and of the event reconstruction algorithms and can pose serious limitations to the physics performance. However, it is possible to reduce the BIB impact on the Muon Collider calorimeter by exploiting some of its characteristics and by ensuring high granularity, excellent timing, longitudinal segmentation and good energy resolution. The proposed R&D is an innovative semi-homogeneous electromagnetic calorimeter based on stackable modules of lead fluoride crystals (PbF2) readout by surface-mount UV-extended Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs): the Crilin calorimeter (CRystal calorImeter with Longitudinal INformation). The calorimeter should operate in a very harsh radiation environment, withstanding yearly a neutron flux of 1014 n1MeV /cm2 and a dose of 100 krad. In this paper, the radiation tolerance measured in several irradiation campaigns and the timing performances evaluated during a test beam at CERN-H2 with 120-GeV electron are discussed. A description of the latest prototype Proto-1, that will be shortly tested, is also provided.
