The MEG experiment has been taking data at the Paul Scherrer Institute (Switzerland) since 2008 to search for the rare decay @m^+->e^+@c. In order to reduce the huge accidental background, it is crucial to reach a high resolution on the e^+ time m easurement through a dedicated Timing Counter detector. We report the methods for calibrating and the performance achieved by the Timing Counter in the early phase of the experiment.

The MEG experiment has been taking data at the Paul Scherrer Institute (Switzerland) since 2008 to search for the rare decay @m^+->e^+@c. In order to reduce the huge accidental background, it is crucial to reach a high resolution on the e^+ time m easurement through a dedicated Timing Counter detector. We report the methods for calibrating and the performance achieved by the Timing Counter in the early phase of the experiment.File in questo prodotto:
