The real part of the elastic-scattering amplitude at the $$S\bar ppS$$ and predictions at LHC and SSCand predictions at LHC and SSC
1994
A precise measurement of\(\bar pp\) elastic scattering in the Coulomb strong-interaction interference region was performed at the CERN\(S\bar ppS\) Collider at a centre-of-mass energy of 541 GeV. The ratio of the real-to-imaginary part of the forward elastic-scattering amplitude was found to be ρ=0.135±0.015. The slope of the exponential fall-off of the strong-interaction part was also measured to beb=15.5±0.1 GeV−2. Using this new result, an overall fit to the data on the total cross-section and on the real part for\(\bar pp\) and pp was performed using dispersion relations. Numerical predictions are presented for total cross-sections at LHC and SSC energies.
Novel Method for the Direct Measurement of the τ Lepton Dipole Moments
2019
A novel method for the direct measurement of the elusive magnetic and electric dipole moments of the tau lepton is presented. The experimental approach relies on the production of tau+ leptons from Ds+ -> tau+ nu_tau decays, originated in fixed-target collisions at the LHC. A sample of polarized tau+ leptons is kinematically selected and subsequently channeled in a bent crystal. The magnetic and electric dipole moments of the tau+ lepton are measured by determining the rotation of the spin-polarization vector induced by the intense electromagnetic field between crystal atomic planes. The experimental technique is discussed along with the expected sensitivities.
Beam test results of IHEP-NDL Low Gain Avalanche Detectors(LGAD)
2020
A High-Granularity Timing Detector (HGTD) is proposed based on the Low-Gain Avalanche Detector (LGAD) for the ATLAS experiment to satisfy the time resolution requirement for the up-coming High Luminosity at LHC (HL-LHC). We report on beam test results for two proto-types LGADs (BV60 and BV170) developed for the HGTD. Such modules were manufactured by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) collaborated with Novel Device Laboratory (NDL) of the Beijing Normal University. The beam tests were performed with 5 GeV electron beam at DESY. The timing performance of the LGADs was compared to a trigger counter consisting of a quartz bar coupled to a SiPM read…
The effect of manufacturing tolerances on a tubular linear ferrite motor
2015
This study presents a numerical and experimental study on the effect of permanent magnet tolerances on the performances of a Tubular Linear Ferrite Motor. The statistical distribution of the magnetic characteristic of a set of commercial magnets is obtained experimentally while the performances of a the tubular motor are numerically evaluated. The performances that have been considered are: cogging force, end effect force and generated thrust. It has been shown that: 1)the statistical variability of the magnets modifies the time behavior of the cogging force; 2)the value of both the end effect cogging force and the generated thrust are directly linked to the values of then remanence field o…
Mechanical construction and installation of the ATLAS tile calorimeter
2013
This paper summarises the mechanical construction andinstallation of the Tile Calorimeter for the ATLASexperiment at the Large Hadron Collider in CERN, Switzerland. The TileCalorimeter is a sampling calorimeter using scintillator as the sensitivedetector and steel as the absorber and covers the central region of the ATLASexperiment up to pseudorapidities ±1.7. The mechanical construction ofthe Tile Calorimeter occurred over a periodof about 10 years beginning in 1995 with the completionof the Technical Design Report and ending in 2006 with the installationof the final module in the ATLAS cavern. Duringthis period approximately 2600 metric tons of steel were transformedinto a laminated struc…
Latest Frontier Technology and Design of the ATLAS Calorimeter Trigger Board Dedicated to Jet Identification for the LHC Run 3
2016
To cope with the enhanced luminosity of the beam delivered by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2020, the “A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS” (ATLAS) experiment has planned a major upgrade. As part of this, the trigger at Level1 based on calorimeter data will be upgraded to exploit fine-granularity readout using a new system of Feature Extractors, which each use different physics objects for the trigger selection. The article focusses on the jet Feature EXtractor (jFEX) prototype, one of the three types of Feature Extractors. Up to 2 TB/s have to be processed to provide jet identification (including large area jets) and measurements of global variables within few hundred nanoseconds latency budget.…
Commissioning Experience with the ATLAS Level-1 Calorimeter Trigger System
2007
The ATLAS Level-1 Calorimeter Trigger is one of the main elements of the first stage of event selection for the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The input stage consists of a mixed analogue/digital component taking trigger sums from the ATLAS calorimeters. The trigger logic is performed in a digital, pipelined system with several stages of processing, largely based on FPGAs, which perform programmable algorithms in parallel with a fixed latency to process about 300 Gbyte/s of input data. The real-time output consists of counts of different types of physics objects and energy sums. The production of final modules started in 2006, and installation of these modules and the necessary infrastructure…
The measurement programme at the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN
2016
Neutron-induced reaction cross sections are important for a wide variety of research fields ranging from the study of nuclear level densities, nucleosynthesis to applications of nuclear technology like design, and criticality and safety assessment of existing and future nuclear reactors, radiation dosimetry, medical applications, nuclear waste transmutation, accelerator-driven systems and fuel cycle investigations. Simulations and calculations of nuclear technology applications largely rely on evaluated nuclear data libraries. The evaluations in these libraries are based both on experimental data and theoretical models. CERN’s neutron time-of-flight facility n TOF has produced a considerabl…
Design and testing of the high speed signal densely populated ATLAS calorimeter trigger board dedicate to jet identification
2017
Abstract—The ATLAS experiment has planned a major upgrade in view of the enhanced luminosity of the beam delivered by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2021. As part of this, the trigger at Level-1 based on calorimeter data will be upgraded to exploit fine-granularity readout using a new system of Feature Extractors (three in total), which each uses different physics objects for the trigger selection. The contribution focusses on the jet Feature EXtractor (jFEX) prototype. Up to a data volume of 2 TB/s has to be processed to provide jet identification (including large area jets) and measurements of global variables within few hundred nanoseconds latency budget. Such requirements translate …
Design of Bilateral Switched Reluctance Linear Generator to Convert Wave Energy: Case Study in Sicily
2013
The aim of this work is a case study of the adaptation bilateral switched reluctance linear generator to the exploitation of energy of the sea. This type of generator can be used to convert wave energy in electrical energy. In this paper we present an analytical sizing and FEM simulation. As for the results, analysis of the data extracted through the simulations it was possible to calculate the emf. The emf was calculated in two cases of motion of the slider: first hypothesis has set the constant speed while the second is a variable speed according to the law of an oscillatory motion of the sea.
