Abstract

TRIFIC, the TRIUMF Fast Ion Counter, is a downstream ionization chamber which provides beam composition monitoring and recoil tagging for in-beam reaction experiments. TRIFIC has been commissioned and deployed for use with radioactive isotope beams at the TRIUMF-ISAC facility. Recently, the detector has been upgraded to include an improved gas window that can accommodate higher beam rates and position-sensitive electrode grids for better position reconstruction.

Performance of the LHCb muon detector in Run 3

In Run 3 of the LHC, the instantaneous luminosity at the LHCb interaction point has been increased by a factor of five, from to $\mathscr{L}$ = 4 x 10 32 cm -2 s -2 to $\mathscr{L}$ = 2 x 10 33 cm -2 s -1 . Several hardware interventions, including a complete overhaul of the readout electronics, have been carried out on the muon detector. The muon identification algorithms in the software trigger were improved with the aim of ensuring Run 2 performance under a higher particle rate. The operation and calibration of the upgraded muon detector are presented. The muon detection efficiency and muon identification performance are evaluated on data calibration samples collected during the year 2024. A muon identification efficiency above 90% with sub-percent hadron misidentification probability is achieved by exploiting the pattern of hits in the muon detector.

Commissioning of an MPGD-based Drift Chamber for Heavy-ion Tracking in FRIB's Sweeper magnet system

A newly developed drift chamber equipped with an innovative hybrid Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detector based readout was commissioned at FRIB. The detector consists of a Multi-layer Thick Gas Electron Multiplier (M-THGEM) mounted over a high-granularity, position-sensitive readout board. Denoted as the Micro-Pattern Drift Chamber (MPDC), the new device is used to provide tracking capability as part of the detectors of the Sweeper magnet system for neutron-invariant-mass spectrometry at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). The localization of impinging ions in a 30 × 30 cm 2 drift area is derived by processing the charge-avalanche distribution induced on the segmented readout board. The signals induced on the readout pads are processed by a compact, multi-channel Data Acquisition System (DAQ) based on the Scalable Readout System (SRS). To facilitate synchronization with other detector systems of the Sweeper magnet system, the SRS has been configured to accept an external trigger.
