Consolidating the XCED detectors
Consolidating the XCED detectors The CEDARs (XCED) are a cornerstone of particle identification in the secondary beams of the SPS experimental areas, playing a crucial role in most of the major experiments. Originally designed and built in the 1970s, these detectors have proven their importance over the years. However, recent years have seen a decline
