The ENUBET positron tagger prototype: construction and testbeam performance
abstract
A prototype for the instrumented decay tunnel of ENUBET was tested in 2018 at the CERN East Area facility with charged particles up to 5 GeV. This detector is a longitudinal sampling calorimeter with lateral scintillation light readout. The calorimeter was equipped by an additional "$t_0$-layer" for timing and photon discrimination. The performance of this detector in terms of electron energy resolution, linearity, response to muons and hadron showers are presented in this paper and compared with simulation. The $t_0$-layer was studied both in standalone mode using pion charge exchange and in combined mode with the calorimeter to assess the light yield and the 1 mip/2 mip separation capability. We demonstrate that this system fulfills the requirements for neutrino physics applications and discuss performance and additional improvements.

Construction, commissioning, and performance of the ENUBET demonstrator
The ENUBET Demonstrator, a 1.7 m iron-scintillator calorimeter prototype, achieves the electron energy resolution (≈15%/√E stochastic term) and e/π/μ discrimination required for monitored neutrino beams, though SiPM s...
