TL;DR
The HeRSCheL detector enhances LHCb's high-rapidity coverage with scintillating counters, improving studies of diffractive interactions like Central Exclusive Production through its construction, installation, and performance evaluation.
Contribution
This paper introduces the design, implementation, and performance assessment of the HeRSCheL detector, a novel high-rapidity shower counter system for LHCb.
Findings
HeRSCheL successfully increased high-rapidity coverage.
The detector improved LHCb's ability to study diffractive interactions.
Performance metrics demonstrate reliable operation in LHCb environment.
Abstract
The HeRSCheL detector consists of a set of scintillating counters, designed to increase the coverage of the LHCb experiment in the high-rapidity regions on either side of the main spectrometer. The new detector improves the capabilities of LHCb for studies of diffractive interactions, most notably Central Exclusive Production. In this paper the construction, installation, commissioning, and performance of HeRSCheL are presented.
