The detector has been designed as a state-of-the-art crystal calorimeter and employs 1348 pure Cesium Iodide (CsI) crystals readout by UV-extended silicon photosensors and fast front-end and digitization electronics. A design consisting of two identical annular matrices (named “disks”) positioned at the relative distance of 70 cm, downstream the aluminum target along the muon beamline, satisfies the Mu2e physics requirements. The hostile Mu2e operational conditions, in terms of radiation levels (total ionizing dose of 90 krad and a neutron fluence of 5x10 ¹ ² n/cm ² @1MeVeq(Si)/y ), magnetic field intensity (1 T) and vacuum level ( 10⁻⁴ Torr) have posed tight constraints on the design of the detector mechanical structures and materials choice.

The photosensors and service front-end electronics for each crystal are assembled in a unique mechanical unit inserted in a machined copper holder.

Abstrakt:The “muon-to-electron conversion” (Mu2e) experiment at Fermilab will search for the Charged Lepton Flavour Violating neutrino-less coherent conversion of a muon into an electron in the field of an aluminum nucleus.

The detector has been designed as a state-of-the-art crystal calorimeter and employs 1348 pure Cesium Iodide (CsI) crystals readout by UV-extended silicon photosensors and fast front-end and digitization electronics.
