Abstract The AI for Experimental Controls project team at Jefferson Lab has developed an system to control and calibrate a large drift chamber in near-real time. will monitor environmental experimental variables recommend voltage settings that maintain consistent dE/dx gain optimal resolution throughout the experiment. At present, calibrations are performed after data have been recorded require...

The CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) is a superconducting toroidal magnet with a large volume of drift chambers for charged particle tracking. The performance of these chambers depends on accurate monitoring and control of the mixture, flow rate, pressure, temperature, and contaminant levels of the gas. To meet these requirements, a control system is being developed with EPICS. The in...

The physical processes of charge collection and gas multiplication of a Micro Pixel Chamber (μ-PIC) were studied in detail using a three-dimensional simulation. The collection efficiencies of primary electrons and gas multiplication factors were calculated for several electrode structures. Based on those studies, we analyzed the optimization of the electrode structure of the μ-PIC, in order to ...

purpose: to compare anterior segment and ocular biometric parameters of unaffected fellow eyes of patients with a previous attack of acute angle closure (aac), primary angle closure suspect (pacs) eyes, and normal eyes; and to assess the risk of developing aac in pacs. methods: in this prospective comparative observational case series, 16 unaffected fellow eyes of patients with a previous attac...

purpose: to evaluate changes in anterior chamber (ac) parameters before and one month after nd:yag capsulotomy. methods: a total of 30 eyes from 27 patients with posterior capsule opacification graded 2-4 with surgical history of uneventful phacoemulsification and acrylic foldable iol implantation were included in this study. before capsulotomy and one month later, anterior chamber depth, volum...

Two pairs of superconducting magnets will be inserted into CLEO as part of the CESR/CLEO phase III upgrade. Stray elds from the superconducting magnets will a ect the eld quality of the solenoid in the sensitive region of the CLEO detector. This problem was analyzed in [1]. In addition, the superconducting magnets will be supported by an active, high precision positioning system. Parts of the p...
