Investigation of a two-stage amplifying detector module with a fourfold sensor plane
نویسنده
چکیده
We report on the construction and first test beam results of a prototype of two-stage amplifying detector module with four trapezoidal elements arranged in a geometry as planned for the CMS forward tracker. The performance of the detector is studied for different operational parameters in a high energy pion beam at CERN. a) corresponding author; email: [email protected] b) now at Becker Automotive Systeme c) now at Groupe de Recherche en Physique des Hautes Energies, Universite de Haute Alsace

Use of a Two-Channel Moiré Wavefront Sensor for Measuring Topological Charge Sign of the Vortex Beam and Investigation of Its Change Due to an Odd Number of Reflections
One of the solutions of the Helmholtz equation is the vortex beams. In the recent decades, production and applications of these types of beams have found serious attentions. Determination of the vortex beam topological charge and its sign are very important issues. Odd number of reflections of the vortex beam changes its vorticity. In this paper, we have used a q-plate to generate a vortex beam...
متن کاملSink Location Service Based on Fano Plane in Wireless Sensor Networks
Sink location is considered as a basic service in geographic routing in wireless sensor networks. Obtaining the location of sink node by source node using an efficient method with low complexity has always been a challenging issue in research. In this paper, a sink location algorithm based on Fano plane is proposed. The research challenge is how to ensure the intersection of two SLQ (Location Q...
متن کاملA Two-Stage, High Gain Micro-strip Detector
A two stage position-sensitive gas proportional counter has been constructed by tightly coupling a Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) with a Micro-Groove Detector (MGD). The GEM was used as the first amplifying stage and was optimised to transmit close to 100 % of the primary charge even at very high drift fields (10 kV/cm). Very narrow GEM– MGD separations (0–600 m) were used so that the active vol...
متن کاملATLAS IBL: a challenging first step for ATLAS Upgrade at the sLHC
With the LHC collecting data at 7 TeV, plans are already advancing for a series of upgrades leading eventually to about five times the LHC design luminosity some 10 years from now in the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) project. The upgrades for ATLAS detector will be staged in preparation for HL-LHC. The first upgrade for the Pixel Detector will be the construction of a new pixel layer, which will...
متن کاملSuperconducting Microstrip-Fed Antenna Coupled to a Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector
A proper antenna to couple to a microstrip Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector (MKID) is designed and simulated. A twin-slot microstrip-fed inline antenna is designed for frequency band of 600-720~GHz integrated with an elliptical lens and coupled to the MKID. A systematic design procedure for design of such antenna with microstrip inline feeding is presented. Whole structure of lens and twin...
