/ Petrosyan, A G (Ashtarak, IPR) ; Ovanesyan, K L (Ashtarak, IPR) ; Derdzyan, M V (Ashtarak, IPR) ; Ghambaryan, I (Ashtarak, IPR) ; Patton, G (Lyon, LPCML) ; Moretti, F (Lyon, LPCML) ; Auffray, E (CERN) ; Lecoq, P (CERN) ; Lucchini, M (CERN) ; Pauwels, K (CERN) et al.
Single crystals of LuAG:Ce co-doped with Ca2+ were grown by the vertical Bridgman method and studied for optical properties, γ-irradiation induced absorption, scintillation light yield and decay. It is shown that addition of Ca2+ may efficiently limit the radiation induced absorption associated with presence of trace amounts of Yb. [...]

Sub-10 ps time tagging of electromagnetic showers with scintillating glasses and SiPMs
/ Lucchini, Marco T. (CERN) ; Benaglia, Andrea (CERN) ; Gundacker, Stefan (CERN) ; Illare, Jack (Unlisted, US, CA) ; Lecoq, Paul (CERN) ; Margaryan, Alfred A. (Unlisted, US, CA) ; Margaryan, Ashot A. (Unlisted, US, CA) ; Pauwels, Kristof (CERN) ; Auffray, Etiennette (CERN)
The high energy physics community has recently identified an $e^+e^-$ Higgs factory as one of the next-generation collider experiments, following the completion of the High Luminosity LHC program at CERN.The moderate radiation levels expected at such colliders compared to hadron colliders, enable the use of less radiation tolerant but cheaper technologies for the construction of the particle detectors. This opportunity has triggered a renewed interest in the development of scintillating glasses for the instrumentation of large detector volumes such as homogeneous calorimeters. [...]

Phys.) ; Polesel, A (CERN) et al.
A significant enhancement in the light attenuation length in 22 cm long YAG:Ce and YAG:Ce,Mg fibers grown by the micro-pulling-down method has been reported. This progress has been achieved by the introduction of Al excess into the melt, optimization of thermal conditions of crystallization and post growth annealing. [...]

Optical properties and radiation hardness of Pr-doped Sol-Gel silica: influence of fiber drawing process

(University of Milano) et al.
The optical emission from the 5d – 4f allowed transition of Pr3+ ions embedded in sol-gel silica is investigated for High Energy Physics applications requiring fast scintillating materials.
A complete and detailed characterization of the optical, scintillation and radiation hardness properties of Pr-doped silica is carried out employing different experimental techniques including steady-state and time-resolved photo-luminescence, radio- and thermo-luminescence, scintillation and optical absorption.
Optical absorption measurements, performed after X-ray irradiation sequences up to 1 kGy, evidence the formation of radiation-induced absorption bands related to point defects acting as color centers. Spontaneous partial recovery of the radiation-induced defects at room temperature, as well as after thermal treatments, is also disclosed.
Particular attention is paid to the comparison between bulk silica, both before and after a melting process, and fibers. [...]

Dual Cherenkov and Scintillation Response to High-Energy Electrons of Rare-Earth-Doped Silica Fibers
/ Cova, Francesca (Insubria U., Como ; Milan Bicocca U.) ; Lucchini, Marco T (Princeton U. ; CERN) ; Pauwels, Kristof (Milan Bicocca U. ; CERN) ; Auffray, Etiennette (CERN) ; Chiodini, Norberto (Insubria U., Como ; Milan Bicocca U.) ; Fasoli, Mauro (Insubria U., Como ; Milan Bicocca U.) ; Vedda, Anna (Insubria U., Como ; Milan Bicocca U.)
The investigation of the characteristic luminescent response of Ce-doped silica fibers exposed to electrons in the 20–200-GeV energy range is reported in this work to explore the feasibility of using silica-based fibers for a simultaneous dual-readout approach. The sol-gel method allows the preparation of either doped or undoped fibers with high aspect ratio and high purity, providing good flexibility and spatial resolution for the realization of a dual-readout detector.
