Detector scientists and the chamber of GEMs

Researchers at the University of Texas at Arlington spend two weeks characterising ILC detector chamber prototypes at Fermilab's Test Beam Facility.

| 18 August 2011

Three researchers working on a detector for the ILC recently drove their components 1,500 kilometres from Arlington, Texas to Batavia, Illinois to get to know their detectors a bit better. For approximately two weeks, researchers from the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) sent muon, proton and pion beams through their chamber prototypes at the […]

Fermilab users conduct ILC detector beam test

Peeling paint? Leaky roof? No problem. Say the words “test beam facility” to a physicist, and the opportunity to collect real physics data will wash away any aesthetic issues. Literally. This is at least how a team of Fermilab users from University of Texas at Arlington, Lousiana Tech University and Changwon National University in South […]
