A Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) has been designed to improve the electron identification and trigger capability of the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. We present results from tests of a prototype of the TRD concerning pion rejection for different methods of analysis over a momentum range from 0.7 to 2 GeV/c. We investigate the performance of different radiator...

Measurements of TR yield and spectra for a large variety of regular radiator configurations have been presented by different authors. In general, data confirm the theoretical predictions [1], although total TR yield and dependence on the momentum of the emitting particle are not always reproduced [2][3]. The ALICE Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) consists of 540 drift chambers with mixed fib...

The cooling performance of the stack radiator of a fuel cell electric vehicle was evaluated under various actual road driving conditions, such as highway and uphill travel. The thermal stability was then optimized, thereby ensuring stable operation of the stack thermal management system. The coolant inlet temperature of the radiator in the highway mode was lower than that associated with the up...

During long-term low-flow sevoflurane anesthesia, dew formation and the generation of compound A are increased in the anesthesia circuit because of elevated soda lime temperature. The object of this study was to develop a novel radiator for carbon dioxide absorbents used for long durations of low-flow sevoflurane anesthesia. Eleven female swine were divided into two groups comprising a "radiato...

A ring-imaging Čerenkov counter, to be read out by four 100channel PMT’s, is a key element of the BRAHMS Experiment. We report here the most recent results obtained with a prototype tested at the BNL AGS using several radiator gases, including the heavy fluorocarbon C4F10 . Ring radii were measured for different particles (π−, μ−, e−) for momenta ranging from 2 to 12 GeV/c employing pure C4F10 ...

In order to measure the longitudinal phase-space profile of the electron beam, we are developing a compact measurement system consisting of a Cherenkov radiator, a bending magnet and a streak camera. The Cherenkov radiator with an aerogel is installed in the beam transport line, and the electron distribution in the longitudinal phase-space is obtained. Furthermore, a slice emittance measurement...

We deal with the problem of modelling a radiator/ scatterer using an equivalent radiator. The amounts at determining shape and size radiating surface producing, on region D , electromagnetic field close to that generated by primary radiator/scatterer. For fixed radiator’s shape, we here dimensi...

A large-solid-angle, Cherenkov detector beam loss monitor has been built and tested as part of the Linac Coherent Light Source machine protection system (MPS). The MPS is used to protect the undulator magnets by detecting high-energy electron beam loss. These electrons produce other forms of radiation that can lead to demagnetization of the undulator magnets. Cherenkov light is generated when p...
