Beam test and performance assessment for the prototype of a novel compact RICH detector with timing capabilities for the future ALICE 3 PID system at HL-LHC
/ Pillera, R (INFN, Bari) ; Congedo, L (INFN, Bari) ; De Robertis, G (INFN, Bari) ; Di Mauro, A (CERN) ; Giliberti, M (INFN, Bari ; Polytechnic University of Bari) ; Licciulli, F (INFN, Bari) ; Liguori, A (INFN, Bari ; Polytechnic University of Bari) ; Lorusso, L (INFN, Bari ; Polytechnic University of Bari) ; Martinengo, P (CERN) ; Mazziotta, M N (INFN, Bari) et al.
The ongoing project of ALICE 3 for LHC Run 5 and beyond envisages a Ring-Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detector for high-energy charged particle identification. This detector employs an aerogel radiator in proximity-focusing configuration and Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) arrays, with a high-refractive index window for improving the timing capabilities.

Cagliari (main) ; INFN, Cagliari) ; Boike, J (Unlisted, DE ; Humboldt U., Berlin (main)) et al.
During the series of intense solar flares and coronal mass ejections, that occurred in May 2024, a remarkable Forbush decrease in the cosmic ray flux was observed on the Earth. While this event was observed by particle detectors around the world, the archipelago of Svalbard was heavily exposed to it due to the weak geomagnetic shielding in the polar region. [...]

The ALICE Collaboration is proposing a completely new apparatus, ALICE 3, for the LHC Run 5 and beyond. A key subsystem for charged particle identification will be a Ring-Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detector consisting of an aerogel radiator and a photosensitive surface based on Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) arrays in a proximity-focusing configuration.

Development of a novel compact and fast SiPM-based RICH detector for the future ALICE 3 PID system at LHC
/ Mazziotta, M N (INFN, Bari) ; Altamura, A R (INFN, Bari) ; Congedo, L (INFN, Bari) ; De Robertis, G (INFN, Bari) ; Di Mauro, A (CERN) ; Guerra-Pulido, J O (Mexico U., ICN) ; Licciulli, F (INFN, Bari) ; Lorusso, L (INFN, Bari ; Bari Polytechnic) ; Martinengo, P (CERN) ; Nappi, E (INFN, Bari) et al.
A dedicated R&D; is ongoing for the charged particle identification system of the ALICE 3 experiment proposed for the LHC Run 5 and beyond.One of the subsystems for the high-energy charged particle identification will be a Ring-Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detector.The possibility of integrating Cherenkov-based charged particle timing measurements is currently under study.The proposed system is based on a proximity-focusing RICH configuration including an aerogel radiator separated from a SiPM array layer by an expansion gap. A thin high-refractive index window of transparent material, acting as a second Cherenkov radiator, is glued on the SiPM array to enable time-of-flight measurements of charged particles by exploiting the yield of Cherenkov photons in the thin window.We assembled a small-scale prototype instrumented with different Hamamatsu SiPM array sensors with pitches ranging from 1 to 3 mm, readout by custom boards equipped with the front-end Petiroc 2A ASICs to measure charges and times.The primary Cherenkov radiator consisted of a 2 cm thick aerogel tile, while various window materials, including SiO$_{2}$ and MgF$_{2}$, were used as secondary Cherenkov radiators.The prototype was successfully tested in a campaign at the CERN PS T10 beam line with pions and protons.

In the context of astroparticle physics, nuclear astrophysics and quantum computing projects, it is important identifying underground laboratories where the cosmogenic background is suppressed. Located about 500 m far from the center of Trento (Italy) the Piedicastello tunnels are covered by 100 m limestone rock of the Doss Trento hill. [...]

First results on new helium based eco-gas mixtures for the Extreme Energy Events Project
/ EEE Collaboration
The Extreme Energy Events (EEE) Project, a joint project of the Centro Fermi (Museo Storico della Fisica e Centro Studi e Ricerche "E.Fermi") and INFN, has a dual purpose: a scientific research program on cosmic rays at ground level and an intense outreach and educational program. The project consists in a network of about 60 tracking detectors, called telescopes, mostly hosted in Italian High Schools. [...]
