Hadron Calorimeter for the HIKE Experiment — •Letizia Peruzzo and Rainer Wanke — Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz
The High Intensity Kaon Experiments (HIKE) is a new proposed project for the ECN3 experimental hall in the North Area of CERN SPS. The long-term, fixed-target experiment would continue the long-standing experience of kaon experiments at CERN after LS3 (2031). The experimental programme will reach an unprecedented sensitivity in kaon physics, from rare and ultra-rare kaon decays to precision measurements and searches for new-physics phenomena, with a staged approach involving charged and neutral beams, as well as operation in beam-dump mode.
The Hadron Calorimeter (HCAL) for HIKE will be one of the main detectors for π / µ identification and separation, with the requirement of achieving an average muon mis-identification probability of O(10−6) or less while preserving at least 85% of the pion efficiency. To achieve the requirements and, at the same time, to sustain the high-intensity environment a cellular design of alternating scintillator and absorber planes has been proposed for the new HIKE HCAL.
The talk will report on the preliminary studies on the concept and design of the HIKE HCAL.
