The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab searches for the charged-lepton flavor violating neutrino-less conversion of a negative muon into an electron in the field of a aluminum nucleus. The dynamics of such a process is well modelled by a two-body decay, resulting in a mono-energetic electron with an energy slightly below the muon rest mass (104.967 MeV). If no events are observed in three years of...

Future HEP experiments at the energy and intensity frontiers require fast inorganic crystal scintillators with excellent radiation hardness to face the challenges of unprecedented event rate and severe radiation environment. This paper reports recent progress in application of fast inorganic scintillators for future HEP experiments, such as thin LYSO crystals for a shashlik sampling...

We report on current research and development activities on cerium-doped fused-silica optical fibers intended for use in high-energy calorimetry, particle tracking, beam monitoring, dosimetry, and myriad other applications outside particle physics. We have partnered with the specialty fibers industry leader Polymicro Technologies and produced several scintillating and wavelength shifting...

The MEG II experiment is an upgrade of the MEG experiment to search for the charged lepton flavor violating decay of muon, $\mu^+ \rightarrow e^+ \gamma$. The MEG II experiment is expected to reach a branching ratio sensitivity of $4 \times 10^{-14}$ , which is one order of magnitude better than the sensitivity of the current MEG experiment. The resolutions of the all detectors will be...

We have been performing research on the radiation-hard active media for calorimetry by exploring intrinsically radiation-hard materials and their mixtures. The first samples we probed were Polyethylene Naphthalate (PEN), Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) and thin sheets of HEM. These materials have been reported to have promising performance under high radiation conditions. Recently, we...
