This article presents the timing performance of materials with fast light emission, tested as Minimum Ionizing Particle detectors using 150 GeV hadron beams in Monte Carlo simulations and at the CERN SPS North Area. Pixels of cross-section 2 x 2 mm2 or 3 x 3 mm2 and length of 3 or 10 mm were coupled to Hamamatsu SiPM and read out by fast high-frequency electronics. [...]

Innovative nanocrystal-based scintillators for next-generation sampling calorimeters
/ Soldani, M (Frascati) ; Antonelli, A (Frascati) ; Auffray, E (CERN ; Lancaster U.) ; Brovelli, S (Milan Bicocca U. ; SAES Getters, Milan) ; Bruni, F (Milan Bicocca U.) ; Campajola, M (Naples U. ; INFN, Naples) ; Carsi, S (Insubria U., Como ; Milan Bicocca U.) ; Carulli, F (Milan Bicocca U.) ; Nardo, G De (Naples U. ; INFN, Naples) ; Meco, E Di (Frascati ; Rome U., Tor Vergata) et al.
The design of next-generation calorimeters for accelerator-borne experiments at the intensity frontier poses unprecedented challenges with regard to timing performance and radiation resistance, while rivaling the current state of the art in terms of energy resolution. A significant role may be played by quantum dots, i.e., light-emitting semiconductor nanocrystals with high quantum yield and rather easy to manufacture. [...]
