First results of the RPC commissioning at BESIII

چکیده
The commissioning of the RPC-based muon detector in the BESIII experiment has been carried out. The RPC modules, front-end electronics, online and offline software of the muon system have been studied. The detector performances including efficiency, counting rate, noise ratio, spacial resolution, dark current, and muon charge ratio were obtained by cosmic ray data with and without magnetic field. The new operating high voltage and threshold were chosen after the scan experiment. The long-term stability of the BESIII RPCs made of bakelite without oil treatment was studied. & 2008 Elsevier B.V.

A new surface treatment for the prototype RPCs of the BESIII spectrometer
The prototype resistive plate chambers (RPCs) for the BESIII spectrometer were constructed by using resistive electrodes made from a special type of phenolic paper laminates developed by us. The surface quality of these laminates is superior to other bakelite plates that have been used to construct RPCs elsewhere. A method for adjusting the resistivety of these laminates was also developed. Ext...
متن کاملBEPCII and BESIII
The Beijing Electron Collider is being upgraded (BEPCII) to a two-ring collider with a design luminosity of 1 × 10cm s at a center-of-mass energy of 3.89 GeV. It will operate between 2 and 4.2 GeV in the center of mass. With this luminosity, the BESIII detector will be able to collect, for example, 10 billion J/ψ events in one year of running. This will be a unique facility in the world opening...
متن کاملRequest for funds for a high accuracy beam energy measurement system for BESIII
The precise determination of the beam energy at BESIII is extremely important for many physics analyses, in particular, for the precise measurement of the τ mass. Fortunately, a method has been developed by physicists from the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (BINP) using back scattered Compton photons produced by CO2 laser beams on both the electron and positron beams in BESIII. This method...
متن کاملCommissioning and verification of the collapsed cone convolution superposition algorithm for SBRT delivery using flattening filter‐free beams
Linacs equipped with flattening filter-free (FFF) megavoltage photon beams are now commercially available. However, the commissioning of FFF beams poses challenges that are not shared with traditional flattened megavoltage X-ray beams. The planning system must model a beam that is peaked in the center and has an energy spectrum that is softer than the flattened beam. Removing the flattening fil...
متن کاملCommissioning and early experience with a new generation low-energy linear accelerator in zahedan
Introduction: Since commissioning beam data are treated as a reference and ultimately used by treatment planning systems, it is vitally important that the collected data are of the highest quality to avoid dosimetric and patient treatment errors that may subsequently lead to a poor radiation outcome. Beam data commissioning should be performed with appropriate knowledge and pr...
