The production of the ATLAS SCT optical links
Proceedings - 11th Workshop on Electronics for LHC and Future Experiments, LECC 2005 (2005) 299-303
Abstract:
The on detector optical links for the SemiConductorTracker (SCT) have been produced and the assembly of the services to the support structures is nearly complete. Most of the off-detector opto-electronics has also been produced and has been used to successfully read out modules assembled on Barrels and Endcap disks. Many problems were encountered during the production and these will be described. The lack of modularity in the system design has been a major disadvantage and some suggestions for a simpler and more modular system for the optical links for an upgraded tracker at the SLHC will be discussed.W boson mass measurement at the Tevatron
Proceedings - 40th Rencontres de Moriond on QCD and High Energy Hadronic Interactions 2005 (2005) 263-266
Abstract:
The W boson mass (mW) is a key parameter of the standard model (SM), constraining the mass of the unobserved Higgs boson. Using Tevatron pp collision data from 1992-1995, the CDF and DØ collaborations measured mW to δmW = 59 MeV. The ongoing Tevatron Run 2 has produced a factor of 5 more collisions, promising a significant reduction in δmW. CDF has analyzed the first ∼200 pb of Run 2 data and determined its δmW to be 76 MeV.CRESST-II: dark matter search with scintillating absorbers
NUCL PHYS B-PROC SUP 138 (2005) 153-155
Abstract:
In the CRESST-II experiment, scintillating CaWO4 crystals are used as absorbers for direct WIMP (weakly interacting massive particles) detection. Nuclear recoils can be discriminated against electron recoils by measuring phonons and scintillation light simultaneously. The absorber crystal and the silicon light detector are read out by tungsten superconducting phase transition thermometers (W-SPTs). Results on the sensitivity of the phonon and the light channel, radiopurity, the scintillation properties of CaWO4 and on the WIMP sensitivity are presented.KS0 and Λ0 production studies in p(p)over-bar collisions at √s=1800 and 630 GeV -: art. no. 052001
