Development of scintillation detectors with SiPM readout for the NICA project

Scintillation detectors with SiPM readout are developed for trigger systems and neutron time-of-flight measurements in the framework of the NICA project at JINR. Some detectors are operated in a strong magnetic field of the BM@N and MPD setups. New projects of detectors with picosecond time resolution for trigger of nucleus–nucleus collisions in collider experiment and neutron time-of-flight measurements are discussed.

MicroMegas detectors are versatile gaseous detectors which are used for ionizing particle detection. A MicroMegas detector consists of two adjacent gas-filled volumes. One volume acts as a drift region with an electric field operating in the ionization chamber regime, the second volume is the amplification region acting as a parallel-plate avalanche counter. The use of the microbulk technique allows the production of thin, radiation resistant, and low-mass detector with a highly variable gain. Such MicroMegas detectors have been developed and used in combination with neutron time-of-flight measurements for in-beam neutron-flux monitoring, fission and light-charged particle reaction cross section measurements, and for neutron-beam imaging. An overview of MicroMegas detectors for neutron detection and neutron reaction cross section measurements and related results and developments will be presented.

Cyclotron Radiation

AbstractAM Herculis Binaries (or Polars) are a subclass of the Cataclysmic Variables in which the accreting white dwarf has a strong magnetic field giving rise to highly polarized cyclotron radiation from the shock heated accretion region. A number of AM Herculis binaries are now known in which the white dwarf is eclipsed by the companion star. High time resolution observations of these eclipses allow a particularly detailed study of the process of accretion onto the magnetic white dwarf. Results on a number of systems will be presented and used to derive information on the accretion structure as well as on the fundamental properties of the binaries.
