Current Performance of the SLD VXD3
نویسنده
چکیده
During 1996, the SLD collaboration completed construction and began operation of a new charge-coupled device (CCD) vertex detector (VXD3). Since then, its performance has been studied in detail and a new topological vertexing technique has been developed. In this paper, we discuss the design of VXD3, procedures for aligning it, and the tracking and vertexing improvements that have led to its worldrecord performance.

The SLD VXD3 Detector and Its Initial Performance*
The SLD collaboration completed construction of a new CCD vertex detector (VXD3) in January 1996 and started data taking in April 1996 with the new system. VXD3 is an upgrade of the original CCD vertex detector, VXD2, which had successfully operated in SLD for three years. VXD3 consists of 96 large area CCDs, each having 3.2 million 20pmx 20pm pixels. By reducing the detector material and lengt...
متن کاملVXD 3 : the SLD Vertex Detector Upgrade Based on a 307 MPixel CCD System
The SLD upgrade CCD vertex detector (VXD3) is described. Its 307 million pixels are assembled from 96 3.2 Mpixel CCDS of 13 cm2 each. The system has evolved from the pioneering CCD vertex detector VXD2, which has operated in SLD since 1992. The CCDS of VXD3 are mounted on beryllium ladders in three cylinders, providing three space point measurements along each track of about 5 microns resolutio...
متن کاملDesign and Performance of a New 307 Mpixel Ccd Vertex Detector*
During the past year, the SLD Collaboration completed construction and began operation of a new vertex detector (VXD3) with 307,000,000 CCD pixels. This upgrade will improve the SLD measurement of the polarization-enhanced forwardbackward asymmetry for band cquarks and the precision of the measurement of the b-fraction in hadronic Z decays and opens the possibility to observe ~~-m.ixing.

متن کاملP58: Visual Working Memory Performance Based on Saccades in Children with and without Specific Learning Disorder: An Eye-Tracking Study
Some of the previous studies show that children with SLD have deficits in visual processing and working memory. Hence, the aim of this research was to investigate problems of visual working memory based on behavioral neuroscience method, using an eye tracker device. The method of present study was ex-post facto study. The participants included couple of twelve children with SLD (mean age=10.92)...
متن کاملComparison of the Effect of Cognitive Rehabilitation and Neurofeedback on Sustained Attention Among Elementary School Students With Specific Learning Disorder: A Preliminary Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Introduction: Sustained Attention (SA) failure is one of the main characteristics of Specific Learning Disorders (SLD). Recent studies have reported a positive effect of Cognitive Rehabilitation (CR) and Neurofeedback (NFB) on SA in SLD. Thus, the effectiveness of CR and NFB is well understood. This preliminary study aimed to compare the effects of CR and NFB on SA among the elementary school s...
