The mirror system is an important part of the NA62 RICH detector* covering the full acceptance range of 7m2 surface. It is composed of 18 hexagonal (Ø≈70cm, thickness 2.5cm) and 2 semi-hexagonal mirrors which are sustained by a lightweight support…

A two-day workshop was held at CERN on April 3rd and 4th to discuss a new initiative for establishing a collaboration that would foster the further development of scientific software packages for use in HEP experimental programmes world-wide. The…

The design of the NA62 straw tracker is driven by the requirement of low multiple scattering and high efficiency over the full acceptance. An ultra-light straw tracker operated in vacuum was chosen for this purpose. Extensive R&D was performed…

There was a time when CERN was the Mecca of deep inelastic lepton-hadron scattering (DIS). Roughly 30-40 years ago, various muon and neutrino scattering experiments were pursued to develop the Quark-Parton Model of hadronic matter establishing…
