A Continuously Operating, Flux Locked, Superfluid Interferometer

We report the characteristics of a flux locked, superfluid 4He interferometer that can continuously measure time-varying rotation rates. We describe the principles underlying the interferometer, including the dynamics of a superfluid chemical potential battery used to obtain continuous operation. We also discuss noise and drift issues and their possible amelioration.

Continuously Live Image Processor for Drift Chamber Track Segment Triggering

The first portion of the BABAR experiment Level 1 Drift Chamber Trigger pipeline is the Track Segment Finder (TSF). Using a novel method incorporating both occupancy and drift-time information, the TSF system continually searches for segments in the supercells of the full 7104-wire Drift Chamber hit image at 3.7 MHz. The TSF was constructed to operate in a potentially high beam-background envir...

Status of Project GRAND’s Proportional Wire Chamber Array

Project GRAND is an extensive air shower array of proportional wire chambers. It has 64 stations in a 100 m x 100 m area; each station has eight planes of proportional wire chambers with a 50 mm steel absorber plate above the bottom two planes. This arrangement of planes, each 1.25 square meters of area, allow an angular measurement for each track to 0.25 in each of two projections. The steel a...
