Simulation studies of the technical prototype for the Mu3e Tile Detector — •Hannah Klingenmeyer for the Mu3e collaboration — Kirchhoff-Institut für Physik, Universität Heidelberg
The goal of the Mu3e experiment is to search for the decay µ → eee, which violates lepton flavour conservation, with a sensitivity of 10−16. To determine the vertex of the three decay electrons, precise spatial and timing measurements are necessary. One of the detector systems which will determine the time information of the electrons is the Tile Detector, which is based on plastic scintillator tiles read out by Silicon PhotoMultipliers (SiPMs).
In this talk, the status of the technical prototype of the Tile Detector, which is currently under development, will be presented. The design of the prototype has been implemented in a 3D-CAD software, which can be used for simulation studies, e.g. of the heat flow in the detector. These simulations are of particular importance for the optimisation of the mechanical design of the detector, which is constrained by the limited space available within the planned setup of the Mu3e experiment. The simulation results, which will be used to determine the final detector design, will be shown and compared to first measurements taken with the prototype in a laboratory setup.
