Calibration of the ALICE Transition Radiation Detector
The Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) belongs to the central barrel detectors of the ALICE experiment at the LHC at CERN. It is composed of 540 large area drift chambers, with a total of 1181952 readout pads (1728 or 2304 per chamber). To ensure the optimal performance of the detector, designed for electron/pion identification and charged particle tracking, including triggering for high-pt el...
متن کاملDesign and calibration of a passive detector for separating neutron, proton and alpha particles in mixed radiation fields
In this study, calibration process was carried out for deigned new CR-39 nuclear track detector for protons, neutrons and alpha particles separately under the same etching condition. In order to aim this purpose, americium-beryllium standard source (241Am-Be) and Plexiglas phantom for neutron irradiation, brass collimators and americium standard source (241Am) for alpha irradiation and the acce...
متن کاملPrototype Detector for Ultrahigh Energy Neutrino Detection
Necessary technical experience is being gained from successful construction and deployment of current prototype detectors to search for UHE neutrinos in Antarctica, Lake Baikal in Russia, and the Mediterranean. The prototype detectors have also the important central purpose of determining whether or not UHE neutrinos do in fact exist in nature by observation of at least a few UHE neutrino-induc...

متن کاملA Large Area Transition Radiation Detector for theNOMAD
A Transition Radiation Detector to identify electrons at 90% ef-ciency with a rejection factor against pions of 10 3 on an area of 2:85 2:85 m 2 has been constructed for the NOMAD experiment. Each of its 9 modules includes a 315 plastic foil radiator and a detector plane of 176 vertical straw tubes lled with a xenon-methane gas mixture. Details of the design, construction and operation of the d...
