This book was released on 2019-09-13 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Astrophysical observations implying the existence of Dark Matter and Dark Energy, which are not described by the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, have led to extensions of the SM predicting new particles that could be directly produced at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Based on 2015 and 2016 ATLAS proton-proton collision data, this thesis presents searches for the supersymmetric partner of the top quark, for Dark Matter, and for DarkEnergy, in signatures with jets and missing transverse energy. Muon detection is key to some of the most important LHC physics results, including the discovery of the Higgs boson and the measurement of its properties. The efficiency with which muons can be detected with the ATLAS detector is measured using Z boson decays. The performance of high-precision Monitored Drift Tube muon chambers under background rates similar to the ones expected for the High Luminosity-LHC is studied.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses a novel and high-rate-capable micro pattern gaseous detector of the Micromegas (MICRO-MEsh GAS detector) type. It provides a detailed characterization of the performance of Micromegas detectors on the basis of measurements and simulations, along with an in-depth examination of analysis and reconstruction methods. The accurate and efficient detection of minimum ionizing particles in high-rate background environments is demonstrated. The excellent performance determined here for these lightweight detectors will make possible the live medical imaging of a patient during ion-beam treatment.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is focused on the temperature and gas composition aspects of a Health Monitoring System for a nuclear material detection chamber powered by Muon Drift Tube arrays. This technology was developed with the purpose of providing a safer, more effective volume imaging technique to detect threat material. By using an array of these tubes to enclose a scan area, one would be able to detect the entrance and exit vectors of the muons going across in order to generate an accurate 3-D representation of the matter where colors would dictate density levels (correlating to a material's nuclear number). Each of the tubes on the detector array have a tungsten wire going across their center and are filled with a mixture of gases that is designed to be excited by the passage of muons through the tube. A high positive potential is placed on the wire to attract electrons dislodged by the muon passage. The signal caused by the work of the electrons is then amplified, time tagged and sent to a computer system for 3-D image generation. The relevance of the research subject comes from the fact that the performance of these detectors is very sensitive to variations in both physical and environmental conditions in terms of accuracy and consistency in operation. These variables include, but are not limited to, conditions such as temperature, pressure, humidity, gas composition, magnetic field, wire gravitational effects and other factors that come from detector aging. As a result of these constraints, it is essential to understand the behavior of the detector when affected by these conditions to try to develop a design in which the detector can maintain consistent performance. Through research and experimentation one can generate enough data to not only analyze detector performance under these variables but also to use the data to develop a control system that 'learns' to adjust through automatic configuration of the electronics. Nuclear terrorism ranks high on the top threats to humanity in the next century; muon tomography technology represents a leap in a field of ever increasing importance since it not only presents a safer scanning mechanism but is also able to detect threat material hidden in dense containers. Scientists agree that the technology currently used at US borders, which mainly involves x-ray and gamma detectors, is inefficient for detecting nuclear materials isolated with layers of lead or steel. Any terrorist organization that has the technology to represent a nuclear threat in the future will ultimately also have the resources to develop better ways to hide their material from detection. This technology, when implemented correctly, could ultimately help upset those efforts. With such an important duty on its shoulders and millions of dollars ultimately spent to implement the technology, it is essential to guarantee the lowest percentage of detector error regardless of variations in its physical and environmental conditions.

This book was released on 2012-01-08 with total page 1251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The handbook centers on detection techniques in the field of particle physics, medical imaging and related subjects. It is structured into three parts. The first one is dealing with basic ideas of particle detectors, followed by applications of these devices in high energy physics and other fields. In the last part the large field of medical imaging using similar detection techniques is described. The different chapters of the book are written by world experts in their field. Clear instructions on the detection techniques and principles in terms of relevant operation parameters for scientists and graduate students are given.Detailed tables and diagrams will make this a very useful handbook for the application of these techniques in many different fields like physics, medicine, biology and other areas of natural science.

Download or read book Conceptual Design for Muon Detectors Using Resistive Plastic Tubes Final Technical Report written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reliable low cost detectors which can be built in quantity require a simple design consisting of as few separate pieces as possible using inexpensive materials. For example, ordinary insulating plastics with good structural strength, such as polyethylene or polystyrene, have about 1/3 the cost of aluminum per unit weight. Since plastic is also about 1/3 the density of aluminum, the material cost for a drift tube would be reduced by an order of magnitude. This substitution of plastic for aluminum alone would save the muon system for the SDC more than$2M. Additional savings of greater magnitude can be expected since an entire drift tube, including a field shaping electrode structure, can be manufactured as a single piece by the technique of co-extrusion. A symmetric design with all walls far from the wire will also eliminate critical tolerances in the relative position of the electrodes with respect to the wire. Furthermore, module assembly and mounting costs will surely be reduced if the muon detectors were light weight and, as far as possible, had the same shape and size. With the 8 cm diameter plastic tube of the design, the electric drift field is nearly uniform as shown. This field is determined by a simple symmetric electrode structure, so that the necessary drift/position relationship can be achieved without precisely controlling the position of the electrode structure with respect to the wire. If the positioning of the electrode structure relative to the wire is not a critical dimension, the structural support for the tube need not be maintained to a high tolerance reducing the cost of the structure. Using a resistive plastic to shape the potential gives a simple electrode structure that will require a minimum number of electronic connections. The basic element of this design is the cylindrical plastic drift tube constructed from co-extruded plastics of different conductivity.
