European Organization for Nuclear Research Study of the Bunch Crossing Identiication at Lhc Using Microstrip Gas Chambers

چکیده
During the beam test of a tracker prototype for the Compact Muon Solenoid detector proposed for the LHC, the time response of the Microstrip Gas Chambers was studied using diierent gases and chamber gaps. The subsequent eeciency to identify the bunch crossings at LHC is discussed for several algorithms used in the oo-line signal processing of the data.

EUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH European Laboratory for Particle Physics THE ELECTRON CLOUD INSTABILITY OF THE LHC BEAM IN THE CERN SPS
The electron cloud induced by the LHC beam in the SPS occurs mainly in the dipoles and it is responsible for strong transverse instabilities. In the horizontal plane a coupled bunch mode instability develops in a few tens of turns at injection. Tune shift measurements, mode number and phase space analyses have been performed at different energies and provide information about the electron cloud...

For the first commissioning phase of the LHC, a single proton bunch is required. The production of this so-called “LHC pilot bunch” will follow a different scheme than the one of the nominal LHC proton bunch train. Both the transverse and the longitudinal LHC bunch characteristics should already be established in the PS Booster. The parameter space for the LHC pilot bunch spans a factor 66 in b...
متن کاملFactors to scale highly ionizing particle rates in MSGC irradiation tests to the LHC radiation environment
A thorough discussion of highly ionizing particle production in microstrip gas chambers, exposed to hadron irradiation, is given. It is shown that inelastic hadronic interactions are the dominant source of very highly ionizing particles. The heaviest ions expected in the MSGC gas are fission fragments from the gold strips. Since each ion has a characteristic maximum ionization, which cannot be ...
متن کاملDevelopment of Microstrip Gas Chambers for Radiation Detection and Tracking at High Rates Final Status Report
1. INTRODUCTION Micro-Strip Gas Chambers (MSGCs) have attracted a lot of interest since their introduction by A. Oed [1] due to many promising features: good position accuracy and two-track resolution, high rate capability and low cost. However, medium and long-term stability problems have been met at high radiation rates attributed to substrate charging up and modifications, and ageing due to ...

We describe recent observations and measurements with Micro-Strip Gas Chambers coated, after manufacturing, with a thin diamond-like layer in order to increase their rate capability. Compared to the more widely used solution consisting in coating the insulating support with a conductive layer before photo-lithography (the so-called undercoating), over-coating has the advantage of avoiding possi...
