As part of the upgrades on the Hall C at JLab, a new Kaon Aerogel Detector is under construction by a collaboration of researchers on Particle Physics, lead by Dr. Tanja Horn.
The main purpose of this detector is to be part of the new spectrometer that is being constructed at Hall C, the SHMS.
For the execution of the project, a consortium was established with the following institutions:
- The Catholic University of America
- University of South Carolina
- Mississippi State University
- Florida International University
Two other partners are also engaged on this project, as unfunded institutions:
This project is founded through a NSF grant: PHY-1039446.
General Aspects on the Detector
There are some lines of work happening in parallel for the full construction and characterization of the new Aerogel Detector.
