Optical Alignment System for the PHENIX Muon Tracking Chambers
نویسنده
چکیده
A micron-precision optical alignment system (OASys) for the PHENIX muon tracking chambers is developed. To ensure the required mass resolution of vector meson detection, the relative alignment between three tracking station chambers must be monitored with a precision of 25μm. The OASys is a straightness monitoring system comprised of a light source, lens and CCD camera, used for determining the initial placement as well as for monitoring the time dependent movement of the chambers on a micron scale.

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...

We report on leptonic observables by the PHENIX experiment from data taken during Run II at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). We show first results on φ −→ K + K − , e + e − , low and intermediate mass dielectron continuum, single electrons from charm, and J/ψ yields in proton-proton and Au-Au collisions at √ s N N = 200 GeV. The PHENIX experiment was designed with the specific capabi...
متن کاملTracking and Alignment in the CMS Detector
This Report summarises the alignment strategy of the CMS detector. Track reconstruction in the silicon tracker and muon chambers is briefly described. We then present the different sources of alignment information, in particular alignment algorithms using reconstructed tracks. Presented at IPRD06, Siena, October 1–6, 2006

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...
متن کاملTracking and Level-1 triggering in the forward region of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer at sLHC
In the endcap region of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer (η > 1) precision tracking and Level-1 triggering are performed by different types of chambers. Monitored Drift Tube chambers (MDT) and Cathode Strip Chambers (CSC) are used for precision tracking, while Thin Gap Chambers (TGC) form the Level-1 muon trigger, selecting muons with high transverse momentum (pT ). When by 2018 the LHC peak luminos...
