PARTICLE IDENTIFICATION BY dg/dx SAMPLING IN NEON
نویسنده
چکیده
Systematic studies of identification efficiency for e/n/p were performed in a variety of noble gas mixtures and in pure hydrocarbons at pressures up to 5 atm using a 15 GeV/c tagged beam. Neon mixtures were found to give the best results (6.7 (I n/p separation at 1 atm). Replacing the conventionally used argon by neon would permit a reduction of detector depth by almost a factor of two. The measurements were carried out in a detector with 64 pairs of 2 x 2 cm' proportional counters and a 50 cm drift space.

A Bidimensional Method for Particle Identification with the ALICE TRD
One of the main objectives of the Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) at LHC at CERN is to provide electron/pion identification for pt > 1GeV/c. The separation of electrons is based on ionization dE/dx and TR production and detection. We have improved the electron identification by better considering the contributions of ionization and TR production on the dE/dx measurements. The TRD detector d...

متن کاملThe Optimal Placement of Distributed Generation (DG) to Improve the Voltage Profile and Reduce Losses in Radial Distribution Networks Using PSO
Voltage profile and losses are important factors in a distribution network in which there arevariety of ways to improve them. In this paper, distributed generation (DG) is used as a solutionto improve the above characteristics. Backward/Forward Sweep load flow algorithm is used dueto the inefficiency of usual load flow algorithms because of high R/X ratio and their lack ofconvergence in distrib...
