Annihilation cross-sections of antineutrons on C, Al, Cu, Sn and Pb at low momenta (180\u2013280 MeV/c) with the OBELIX spectrometer
Annihilation cross-sections sigma(ann) for antineutrons on some nuclei (C, Al, Cu, Sn and Pb) at three antineutron momenta (180, 240 and 280 MeV/c) were measured at LEAR (CERN) with the OBELIX spectrometer. A behaviour sigma(ann) = = sigma0A(nu) has been found with nu almost-equal-to 2/3. The data are discussed following some models for antineutron-nucleus interaction
Simulated Detector Performance at the Muon Collider
In this paper we report on the current status of studies on the expected performance for a detector designed to operate in a muon collider environment. Beam-induced backgrounds (BIB) represent the main challenge in the design of the detector and the event reconstruction algorithms. The current detector design aims to show that satisfactory performance can be achieved, while further optimizations are expected to significantly improve the overall performance. We present the characterization of the expected beam-induced background, describe the detector design and software used for detailed event simulations taking into account BIB effects. The expected performance of charged-particle reconstruction, jets, electrons, photons and muons is discussed, including an initial study on heavy-flavor jet tagging. A simple method to measure the delivered luminosity is also described. Overall, the proposed design and reconstruction algorithms can successfully reconstruct the high transverse-momentum objects needed to carry out a broad physics program
