The PANDA DIRC detectors
2020
Abstract The PANDA experiment at the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) will address fundamental questions of hadron physics with unprecedented precision. To reach this goal excellent Particle Identification (PID) is essential over a large range of particle momenta and solid angles. Most of the phase space will be covered by two innovative DIRC (Detection of Internally Reflected Cherenkov light) detectors. The Endcap Disc DIRC and Barrel DIRC will cover the polar angle range from 5 to 22°and 22 to 140°, respectively. Both detectors rely on high precision optical components, lifetime-enhanced Microchannel Plate PMTs (MCP-PMTs), and fast readout electronics.
Small angle scattering from oriented latent nuclear tracks
1984
Abstract Using X-ray and neutron small-angle scattering we studied the defects in mica created by irradiation with uranium ions delivered from the UNILAC accelerator at GSI (Darmstadt, Germany). The defects are regions of reduced density and are best described as cylinders with Gaussian radial density distribution. Scaling laws are given for the time development and the energy dependence of the track parameters.
The three-spectrometer facility at the Mainz microtron MAMI
1998
Abstract A set-up of three high-resolution magnetic spectrometers, for simplicity named A, B and C, has been built as the central facility for the precise determination of double and triple coincidence cross sections of hadron knock-out and meson production through the scattering of electrons at the Mainz microtron MAMI. The spectrometers A and C with point-to-point optics in the dispersive plane and parallel-to-point optics in the non-dispersive plane have a solid angle of 28 msr and a momentum acceptance of 20 and 25%, respectively. They each consist of a quadrupole, a sextupole and two dipole magnets, reaching maximum momenta of 735 and 550 MeV/c, respectively. The spectrometer B has a s…
Sterile neutrino signals from supernovae
2007
We investigate the effects of a mixing of active and sterile neutrinos on the ratios of supernova electron neutrino flux ($F_e$) and antineutrino flux ($F_{\bar e}$) to the total flux of the other neutrino and antineutrino flavours ($F_a$). We assume that the heaviest (in the normal hierarchy) Standard Model neutrino $\nu_3$ mixes with a sterile neutrino resulting in a pair of mass eigenstates with a small mass gap. Using the density matrix formalism we solve numerically the the evolution of neutrino states in the envelope of a supernova and determine the flux ratios $F_e/F_a$ and $F_{\bar{e}}/F_a$ as a function of the active-sterile mixing angle and for the experimentally allowed range of …
Experimental results on the electroweak interaction
1999
Recent results from the four experiments ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL at the Large Electron-Positron collider, LEP at CERN, and by the SLD collaboration at the Stanford Linear Collider, SLC, are reviewed. Analyses from an integrated luminosity of about 150 pb− recorded by each experiment at LEP, taken at different centre-of-mass energies within ±3 GeV around the peak of the Z resonance during the years 1989 to 1995 are available now. Repeated accurate calibrations of the beam energy lead to precise measurements of the mass and of the total width of the Z boson. These results are complemented by measurements at the Z resonance with polarised beams at Stanford. First results from an integrated …
Newtonian and relativistic emission coordinates
2009
Emission coordinates are those generated by positioning systems. Positioning systems are physical systems constituted by four emitters broadcasting their respective times by means of sound or light signals. We analyze the incidence of the space-time causal structure on the construction of emission coordinates. The Newtonian case of four emitters at rest is analyzed and contrasted with the corresponding situation in special relativity.
Combining HR-MAS and In Vivo MRI and MRSI Information for Robust Brain Tumor Recognition
2009
In this study we propose to classify short echotime brain MRSI data by using multimodal information coming from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) and high resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS), and to develop an advanced pattern recognition method that could help clinicians in diagnosing brain tumors. We study the impact of using HR-MAS information in combination with in vivo information for classifying brain tumors and we investigate which parameters influence our classification results.
Spinrotator for MAMI
1991
A source of polarized electrons based on the photoemission of a GaAsP-cathode [1] has been set up to inject polarized electrons in the Mainz microtron MAMI. In order to compensate the spin precession in MAMI a spinrotator system has to be integrated in the 100 keV beamline from the source to the injector linac to achieve the required longitudinal spin direction at target position.
Physics at the electron accelerator MAMI
1995
Abstract An overview of physics at the Mainz Microtron facility MAMI is given. After a short description of the essential parameters of the accelerator, selected results of three different collaborations A1, A2, and A3, each centered around one major experimental facility, are presented. The A1 collaboration has installed a setup of three large acceptance magnetic spectrometers. Results presented are high momentum components (pm ≤ 700MeV/c) in 16O(e, e′p), L T separation and LT interference structure functions in p(e, e′π+), and angular distribution of p(e, e′p)π0 at π0 threshold. The A2 collaboration has installed a broad band tagger for experiments with nonpolarized and polarized photons.…
