Implementation and performance of the third level muon trigger of the ATLAS experiment at LHC
2006
The trigger system of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC aims at a high selectivity in order to keep the full physics potential while reducing the 40 MHz initial event rate imposed by the LHC bunch crossing down to /spl sim/100 Hz, as required by the data acquisition system. Algorithms working in the final stage of the trigger environment (Event Filter) are implemented to run both in a "wrapped" mode (reconstructing tracks in the entire Muon Spectrometer) and in a "seeded" mode (according to a dedicated strategy that performs pattern recognition only in regions of the detector where trigger hypotheses have been produced at earlier stages). The working principles of the offline muon reconstruct…
The Mu3e Data Acquisition
2020
The Mu3e experiment aims to find or exclude the lepton flavour violating decay $\mu^+\to e^+e^-e^+$ with a sensitivity of one in 10$^{16}$ muon decays. The first phase of the experiment is currently under construction at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI, Switzerland), where beams with up to 10$^8$ muons per second are available. The detector will consist of an ultra-thin pixel tracker made from High-Voltage Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (HV-MAPS), complemented by scintillating tiles and fibres for precise timing measurements. The experiment produces about 100 Gbit/s of zero-suppressed data which are transported to a filter farm using a network of FPGAs and fast optical links. On the filte…
Overview of the high-level trigger electron and photon selection for the ATLAS experiment at the LHC
2005
texte intégral : http://cdsweb.cern.ch/record/846438; The ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will face the challenge of efficiently selecting interesting candidate events in$pp$collisions at 14 TeV center-of-mass energy, whilst rejecting the enormous number of background events. The High-Level Trigger (HLT$=$second level trigger and Event Filter), which is a software based trigger will need to reduce the level-1 output rate of$approx75$kHz to$approx200$Hz written out to mass storage. In this talk an overview of the current physics and system performance of the HLT selection for electrons and photons is given. The performance has been evaluated using Monte Carlo simulations …
A design for an electromagnetic filter for precision energy measurements at the tritium endpoint
2019
We present a detailed description of the electromagnetic filter for the PTOLEMY project to directly detect the Cosmic Neutrino Background (CNB). Starting with an initial estimate for the orbital magnetic moment, the higher-order drift process of E×B is configured to balance the gradient-B drift motion of the electron in such a way as to guide the trajectory into the standing voltage potential along the mid-plane of the filter. As a function of drift distance along the length of the filter, the filter zooms in with exponentially increasing precision on the transverse velocity component of the electron kinetic energy. This yields a linear dimension for the total filter length that is exceptio…
The data acquisition system for the ANTARES neutrino telescope
2006
The ANTARES neutrino telescope is being constructed in the Mediterranean Sea. It consists of a large three-dimensional array of photo-multiplier tubes. The data acquisition system of the detector takes care of the digitisation of the photo-multiplier tube signals, data transport, data filtering, and data storage. The detector is operated using a control program interfaced with all elements. The design and the implementation of the data acquisition system are described.
COMPASS—A COMPAct decay spectroscopy set-up
2018
Abstract A compact silicon detector array with high spatial granularity and fast, fully digital data recording has been developed and commissioned for the investigation of heavy and superheavy nuclear species. The detector array can be combined in close geometry with large volume germanium detectors. It offers comprehensive particle and photon coincidence and correlation spectroscopy by highly efficient evaporation residue, α , γ , conversion electron and X-ray detection supported by the high granularity of the implantation chip. Access to fast decay events in the sub-microsecond region is made possible by the fast timing properties of the digital signal processing. A novel Si-chip support …
T2-beta-spectroscopy at KATRIN and the challenge of controlling the electrostatic potentials
2013
Abstract The KATRIN-Collaboration at KIT-Karlsruhe is setting up a huge electrostatic spectrometer in order to search for the absolute value of the neutrino mass from the beta-spectrum of molecular tritium with a sensitivity limit of 0.2 eV. Apart from high intensity, high resolution and low background, this goal requires control of the 18.6 kV filter potential on the ppm level. The paper starts with discussing the impact of uncertainties of beta-endpoint, energy loss and filter potential on the uncertainty of the neutrino mass. Then it describes the various measures for controlling the applied high voltage as well as the potential distribution within the spectrometer and the gaseous tritiu…
Multimode OPOs as Sources for Multipartite Entanglement
2009
We present here multimode OPOs as a source of multimode squeezing and multipartite entanglement of continuous-wave light beams, with applications to the engineering of multimode states of light in the spatial and spectral domains.
Sustainable Method Using Filtering Techniques for a Fermentation Process State Estimation
2020
Winemaking is concerned about sustainable energy availability that implies new methods for process monitoring and control. The aim of this paper is to realize a comparative analysis of the possibilities offered using estimation techniques, balances, and filtering techniques such as the Kalman filter (KF) and the extended Kalman filter (EKF), to obtain indirect information about the alcoholic fermentation process during winemaking. Thus, an estimation solution of the process variables in the exponential growing phase is proposed, using an extended observer. In addition, two estimation solutions of this process with the EKF and an estimation of the decay phase of the fermentation process are …
State feedback control against sensor faults for Lipschitz nonlinear systems via new sliding mode observer techniques
2011
This paper investigates the problem of simultaneous state and fault estimation and observer-based fault tolerant controller design for Lipschitz nonlinear systems with sensor failure. A new estimation technique is presented in this paper to deal with this design problem. In the proposed approaches, the original system is first augmented by a descriptor model transformation, then a new Proportional and Derivative sliding mode observer technique is developed to obtain accurate estimations of both system states and sensor faults. The designing observer is generalized from the PD observer in [3], but is not a trivial extension. Based on the state estimates, a observer-based control strategy is …
