Description

We are currently developing at Virginia Tech a new muon detector aimed at detecting and discriminating muon pairs in exclusive reactions such as Double Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering or J/psi production. We developed a DAQ system and a first prototype system in our lab. In parallel, we are working on simulations to obtain the best design, able to handle high rate and properly separate muons from pions at relatively low momentum. We would like to present our progress and the status of this R&D work, and discuss the perspectives for other experiments beyond JLab.
