This thesis work aims to inquire about a future Upgrade of LHCb, one of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments at CERN. The goal is to study the possibility to introduce time measurement in the Electromagnetic Calorimeter. Specifically, it aims to study the time performance of two prototypes: a Spaghetti Calorimeter (SpaCal), made of tungsten and GAGG cristal fibers (SpaCal W/GAGG) and a SpaCal made of tungsten and polysterene fibers (SpaCal W/Polystyrene). Analysed data have been collected during the test-beam campaign in August 2021 at the Super Proton Syncrothron (SPS) at CERN.
Il lavoro di questa tesi si basa sul futuro Upgrade di LHCb, uno degli esperimenti del Large Hadron Collider (LHC) al CERN. L’obiettivo è studiare la possibilità di introdurre misure temporali nel Calorimetro Elettromagnetico. Nello specifico, vengono indagati due prototipi di calorimetro Spaghetti Calorimeter (SpaCal) nella loro performance temporale: SpaCal con materiale assorbitore in tungsteno e fibre di cristallo GAGG dopato al Cerio (SpaCal W/GAGG) e SpaCal con assorbitore in tungsteno e fibre di polistirene (SpaCal W/Polystirene). I dati analizzati sono stati acquisiti durante una campagna di test beam ad Agosto 2021 al Super Proton Syncrothron (SPS) al CERN.

Abstract
This thesis work aims to inquire about a future Upgrade of LHCb, one of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments at CERN. The goal is to study the possibility to introduce time measurement in the Electromagnetic Calorimeter. Specifically, it aims to study the time performance of two prototypes: a Spaghetti Calorimeter (SpaCal), made of tungsten and GAGG cristal fibers (SpaCal W/GAGG) and a SpaCal made of tungsten and polysterene fibers (SpaCal W/Polystyrene).
