A cylindrical GEM detector with analog readout for the BESIII experiment
2016
Abstract A cylindrical GEM detector with analog readout is under development for the upgrade of the Inner Tracker of the BESIII experiment at IHEP (Beijing). The new detector will match the requirements for momentum resolution ( σ pt / p t ~ 0.5 % at 1 GeV) and radial resolution ( σ xy ~ 120 μ m ) of the existing drift chamber and will improve significantly the spatial resolution along the beam direction ( σ z ~ 150 μ m ) with very small material budget (less than 1.5% of X 0 ). With respect to the state of the art the following innovations will be deployed: a lighter mechanical structure based on Rohacell, a new XV anode readout plane with jagged strip layout to reduce the parasitic capaci…

Quantum capacitance: a microscopic derivation
2010
We start from microscopic approach to many body physics and show the analytical steps and approximations required to arrive at the concept of quantum capacitance. These approximations are valid only in the semi-classical limit and the quantum capacitance in that case is determined by Lindhard function. The effective capacitance is the geometrical capacitance and the quantum capacitance in series, and this too is established starting from a microscopic theory.
Gap solitons in nonlinear electrical transmission lines
2005
We study theoretically and numerically the properties of monochromatic waves in a nonlinear electrical transmission line,whose capacitance has a periodic spatial variation.ln the continuum limit and weak amplitude limit we reduce the characteristic equations of this system to NLS equation. We find analytical solutions for the voltage envelope, which propagate with frequency in the gap induced by the capacitance periodicity. Our numerical experiments show that, when the input voltage increases, the transmissivity in the gap increases and the voltage envelope approaches the stationnary shape predicted by theory.
Design of an integrated low-noise, low-power charge sensitive preamplifier for γ and particle spectroscopy with solid state detectors
2014
The design of an integrated charge-sensitive preamplifier suitable for γ-ray spectroscopy is presented. It is fully integrated, except for the feedback resistor, and can drive directly a 50Ω cable with its low impedance output stage. It is designed in AMS 0.35µm technology and its small dimensions and low power consumption (10 mW) are optimized for multi-channel applications. It works both with germanium and silicon detectors for a large range of values of electrode and feedback capacitances. Its wide bandwidth ensures a risetime of 10 ns or less in most configurations. This characteristic makes the preamplifier suitable not only for high resolution spectroscopy but also for pulse-shape ana…
Josephson junctions and SQUIDs based on artificial grain boundaries in Bi 2 Sr 2 Ca 2 Cu 3 O 10 -thin films
1996
ABSTRACT High quality thin films of Bi2 Sr Ca2 Cu3 0 with critical temperatures of 95 K were used to prepare grainboundary josephson junctions on commercial 36.8° SrTiOg-bicrystal substrates. IR-products of 50 pV at 77 Kand 0.7 mV at 4.2 K have been reached. For temperatures higher than 50 K the current-voltage curves of thejunctions can be well described by the resistively shunted junction (RSJ) model and show no hysteresis. Fromthe hysteretic behavior at low temperature we estimate a junction capacitance of 2ljiF/cm2. The Fraunhoferpattern of the critical current in an external applied field shows, that the junctions are inhomogeneous on a pm scale. The SQUID modulation of a 30 x 40 pm2 w…
Design of MOS Current Mode Logic Gates – Computing the Limits of Voltage Swing and Bias Current
2005
Minimizing a quality metric for an MCML gate, such as power-delay product or energy-delay product, requires solving a system of nonlinear equations subject to constraints on both bias current and voltage swing. In this paper, we will show that the limits of the swing and the bias current are affected by the constraints on maximum area and maximum delay. Moreover, methods for computing such limits are presented.
Minimum power-delay product design of MCML gates
2008
This paper describes a methodology for the minimization of the power-delay product of MCML gates. The method is based on the novel concept of crossing point capacitance. The methodology was been validated by designing several gates using in an IBM 130 nm CMOS process.
TLM Nodes: A New Look at an Old Problem
2015
In this paper, an alternative perspective on the transmission line modeling (TLM) method concepts to unify previous work is presented. The procedure begins by discretizing Maxwell’s equations and proposing TLM equivalent models. Node voltage and mesh current definitions are provided in terms of link line contributions, compatible with stub currents and voltages. They allow obtaining an expression that relates incident and reflected pulses with no other condition required. With this unified approach, modeling of other situations is straightforward. 2-D cases, source implementation, and anisotropic media are described and numerically tested.
Interpretation of capacitance spectra and transit times of single carrier space-charge limited transport in organic layers with field-dependent mobil…
2007
The ac impedance characteristics of a single carrier with space-charge limited current (SCLC) transport in organic layers with field-dependent mobility is analyzed, indicating the similarities as well as the differences to the constant mobility case. The model provides capacitance spectra and transit times from different calculation methods, in relation to the electric field distribution in the SCLC regime. It is found that the low frequency capacitance lies in the range 3Cg/4 < Cif < Cg, with respect to the geometric capacitance Cg. An approximated expression for the variation of the transit time with applied bias is derived, in good agreement with exact calculations. Experimental results …
