“…The response of the scintillator bars is derived from the raw energy deposit in each voxel, read out using wavelength shifting (WLS) fibres with attenuation length λ = 5 m, as reported by the MINERvA collaboration [317]. Assuming that approximately half of the energy will come from each view, the deposit is halved and the remaining energy at each edge in x and y is calculated.…”

“…In order to increase the photo-electron yield, the bers are glued along their whole length with the BC-600 optical cement. A reecting coating is placed at the free end of the ber in order to further increase the yield (Pla-Dalmau et al, 2005). The other end of the WLS ber is connected to optical connectors embedded in the scintillator bar.…”

The application of muon tomography to monitor and image the internal structure of volcanoes in the Lesser Antilles is discussed. Particular focus is directed towards the three volcanoes that fall under the responsibility of the Institut de Physique du Globe of Paris, namely La Montagne Pelée in Martinique, La Soufrière in Guadeloupe, and the Soufrière Hills in Montserrat. The technological criteria for the design of portable muon telescopes are presented in detail for both their mechanical and electronic aspects. The detector matrices are constructed with scintillator strips, and their detection characteristics are discussed. The tomography inversion is presented, and its distinctive characteristics are brie y discussed. Details are given on the implementation of muon tomography experiments on La Soufrière in Guadeloupe.

“…The model included individual scintillator strips, and the digitisation assumed a readout performance based on measurements made with prototype scintillator for the MINERνA experiment [3]. A uniform 0.5T magnetic field was used for the simulation and reconstruction.…”

For baselines of O(1000 km), the rich oscillation pattern at a Low-Energy Neutrino Factory (E ν = 0.5 -≈ 3 GeV ) provides unique performance with regard to sensitivity to CP violation and the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy [1]. A unique neutrino detector is needed, however, in order to exploit this oscillation pattern. The Totally Active Scintillator Detector (TASD) is particularly well suited for this facility. In this paper we give an update on the performance of TASD and discuss the detector R&D program. 10th International Workshop on Neutrino Factories, Super beams and Beta beams
