Aging Study of RPC’s for the SiD Hcal and Muon System

Quantitative Accuracy of the Simplified Strong Ion Equation to Predict Serum pH in Dogs

BACKGROUND Electrochemical approach to the assessment of acid-base states should provide a better mechanistic explanation of the metabolic component than methods that consider only pH and carbon dioxide. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES Simplified strong ion equation (SSIE), using published dog-specific values, would predict the measured serum pH of diseased dogs. ANIMALS Ten dogs, hospitalized for va...

Investigating the capability of plastic scintillation detectors in design of a muon radiography system by Geant4 code

Imaging and identifying materials with high atomic numbers and densities, especially radioactive materials, is one of the issues that have been especially considered in recent years. Due to some limitations in conventional and old imaging techniques, finding an alternative method is very important. The cosmic muons with an infinite source are one of the sources that have been recently studied f...

Quality Control of Muon Detectors for BaBar at The Ohio State University

Quality testing was conducted on the LST’s that will replace the existing RPC’s at BaBar. A laboratory was created to adequately test the LST’s. Singles rates, efficiencies, and pulse heights were determined for several tubes. Work was put into learning how to utilize a digital gas flow system.

The Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment ECAL Electromagnetic CALorimeter Design Guidelines For Implementation of Boundary Scan in the ECAL/HCAL Crates

The PHENIX Muon Trigger Upgrade

The PHENIX muon trigger upgrade adds Level-1 trigger detectors to existing forward muon spectrometers and will enhance the ability of the experiment to pursue a rich program of spin physics in polarized proton collisions at √ s = 500 GeV . The additional muon trigger detectors and Level-1 trigger electronics will allow the experiment to select high momentum muons from the decay of W -bosons and...
