30 Jan 2013 | | Abstract: | We propose the continuation of the MEG experiment to search for the charged
lepton flavor violating decay (cLFV) mu o e gamma, based on an upgrade of
the experiment, which aims for a sensitivity enhancement of one order of
magnitude compared to the final MEG result, down to a $6 imes 10^{-14}$
level. The key features of this new MEG upgrade is an increased rate capability
of all detectors to enable running at the intensity frontier, while also
improving the energy, angular and timing resolutions, for both the positron and
photon arms of the detector. On the positron-side a new low-mass, single
volume, high granularity tracker is envisaged, in combination with a new highly
segmented, fast timing counter array, to track positron from a thinner stopping
target. The photon-arm, with the largest liquid xenon (LXe) detector in the
world, totalling 900 l, will also be improved by increasing the granularity at
the incident face, by replacing the current photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) with a
larger number of smaller photosensors and optimizing the photosensor layout
also on the lateral faces. A new DAQ scheme involving the implementation of a
new combined readout board capable of integrating the various functions of
digitization, trigger capability and splitter functionality into one condensed
unit, is also under development. We describe here the status of the MEG
experiment, the scientific merits of the upgrade and the experimental methods
we plan to use. | | Source: | arXiv, 1301.7225 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
