A beam profile monitor based on the use of carbon fibres is described. It has been designed to be compatible with the operation of the Mark II particle detector at the SLC, I including high resolution secondary vertex detectors mounted 25 mm radially from the beam. f Thin wire or fibre probes are in use at many accelerators to allow the measurement of beam profiles and positions [l]. In particu...

ELECT A fast tracking system is demonstrated that is based on single laser illumination and a few single-pixel single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) detectors that improves on the previous tracking of non-line-of-sight motion by a factor of 300 in laser power. With an average illumination power of only 2 mW, a 15 cm ×15 cm object located up to 2.5 m away is tracked whilst outside of the direct l...

New results on the physical limitations to position resolution in gas detectors for X-rays ( 3-20 due to the range of photoelectrons and Auger electrons are discussed. These results were obtained with a small gap detector in which position readout was accomplished by using a very low noise centroid finding technique. A description is given of position sensitive detectors for medium rates (a few...

Detection systems rely more and more on on-line or off-line comparison of detected signals with basis signals in order to determine the characteristics of the impinging particles. Unfortunately, these comparisons are very sensitive to the random time shifts that may alter the signal delivered by the detectors. We present two fast algebraic methods to determine the value of the time shift and to...

The South Pole Telescope Summertime Line Intensity Mapper (SPT-SLIM) is a pathfinder experiment that will demonstrate the use of on-chip filter-bank spectrometers for mm-wave line intensity mapping (LIM). SPT-SLIM focal plane consists 18 dual-polarization R=300 covering 120-180 GHz, coupled to aluminum kinetic inductance detectors. A compact cryostat holds detectors at 100 mK and performs obser...

In this paper three methods for on-line identification of first markov parameter at linear multivariable plants are presented. In these methods input-output data are used far the on-line identification of the first markov parameter.

The Oriented Scintillation Spectrometer Experiment (OSSE) on the Arthur Holly Compton Gamma Ray Observatory satellite uses four actively-shielded NaI(Tl)-CsI(Na) phoswich detectors to provide gamma-ray line and continuum detection capability in the 0:05 ? 10 MeV energy range. The instrument includes secondary capabilities for gamma-ray and neutron detection between 10 and 250 MeV. The detectors...

A common way of speeding up powder diffraction measurements is the use of one- or two-dimensional detectors. This usually goes hand in hand with worse resolution and asymmetric peak profiles. In this work the influence of a straight linear detector on the resolution function in the Bragg-Brentano focusing geometry is discussed. Because of the straight nature of most modern detectors geometrical...
