چکیده
Article history: Received 10 November 2016 Received in revised form 5 January 2017 Accepted 9 January 2017 Available online xxxx Editor: A. Ringwald In this paper we argue that monojet and monophoton searches can be a sensitive test of very highly ionizing particles such as particles with charges 150e and more generally particles that do not reach the outer parts of the detector. 8 TeV monojet data from the CMS experiment excludes such objects with masses in the range 650 GeV and charges 100e. This nicely complements searches for highly ionizing objects at ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb. Expected improvements in these channels will extend the sensitivity range to m 750 GeV. This search strategy can directly be generalised to other particles that strongly interact with the detector material, such as e.g. magnetic monopoles. © 2017 The Author(s).

Factors 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 کاملLayout Level Design for Testability Strategy Applied to a CMOS Cell Library
The LLDFT rules used in this work allow to avoid some hard to detect faults or even undetectable faults on a cell library by modifying the cell layout whithout changing their behaviour and achieving a good level of reliability. These rules avoid some open faults or reduce their appearance probability. The main purpose has been to apply that set of LLBFT rules on the cells of the library designe...
متن کاملPerformances of multi - gap timing RPCs for relativistic ions in the range Z = 1 - 6
We present the performance of Multi-gap timing RPCs under irradiation by fully stripped relativistic ions (γβ =2.7, Z=1-6). A time resolution of 80 ps at high efficiency has been obtained by just using standard 'off the shelf' 4-gap timing RPCs from the new HADES ToF wall. The resolution worsened to 100 ps for ∼ 1 kHz/cm 2 proton flux and for ∼ 100 Hz/cm 2 Carbon flux. The chambers were operate...
متن کاملAn Optimized technique for Test Case Generation and Prioritization Using 'Tabu' Search and 'Data Clustering'
In practice, an available testing budget limits the number of test cases that can be executed over particular software. This paper presents a ―Tabu‖ search algorithm for the automatic generation of software test cases and their prioritization through clustering technique of data mining. The developed test case generator has a cost function for intensifying the search and another for diversifyin...
متن کاملPhysical Investigation of Space, Dosimetry of Space Ionizing Ray Effect (Van Allen belts, Galactic Cosmic Rays and Solar particles) and Plotting Dose Map for Satellite Circular Missions
One of the main factors for satellite design is simulating of total ionizing dose due to space ionizing rays in devices used in space. By measurement of induced dose based on available data in different altitudes, expenses of designing, satellite weight and amount of needed fuel will be reduced. Optimum design of satellite for protecting satellite against ionizing radiation has considerable eff...
