Spark chambers, scintillation and Cerenkov detectors are used extensively in high energy physics experiments. The potential usefulness of semiconductor detectors is being investigated. There is a need for detectors which will identify very high energy particles. The various types of spark chambers are briefly reviewed, including narrow gap, wide gap and filmless chambers. Applications of scinti...

The development of silicon microstrip detectors for high luminosity application at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is described. The technical choices are most severely restricted by the anticipated radiation damage. The arguments are presented which led to the selection of the base line detectors for the silicon tracker of the LHC detector ATLAS: sandwiches of singlesided detectors of n-strips...

this paper addresses the signal processing principles in passive bistatic radar (pbr) systems. in this case, the detection problem in the presence of system noise, clutter/multipath, direct signal and interfering target signals is investigated. to this light, two types of detectors are studied. in the first one, which is based on intuitive sense, we examine two detectors. in the second type det...

In this paper, radar detection based on Monte Carlo sampling is studied. Two detectors based on Importance Sampling are presented. In these detectors, called Particle Detector, the approximated likelihood ratio is calculated by Monte Carlo sampling. In the first detector, the unknown parameters are first estimated and are substituted in the likelihood ratio (like the GLRT method). In the sec...
