Oral Session
Liquid argon (LAr) sampling calorimeters are employed by ATLAS for all electromagnetic
calorimetry in the pseudo-rapidity region |η| < 3.2, and for hadronic and forward
calorimetry in the region from |η| = 1.5 to |η| = 4.9. In the first LHC run a total luminosity of
27 fb$^{−1}$ has been collected at center-of-mass energies of 7-8 TeV. After detector consolidation
during a long shutdown,...
State-of-the-art arrays of detectors, that require digital processing, may have a sizeable number of digitalized signal links. This is the case in several experimental nuclear physics instruments. Moreover, the sampled signals data rate, defined primary by the signal bandwidth of the individual detector, may not exhaust the capabilities of a single FPGA transceiver input.
This is a critical...
he Tile Calorimeter (TileCal) is the central hadronic calorimeter of the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This subdetector is a sampling calorimeter composed of steel plates as absorber material and plastic scintillators as active material. The complete readout of the detector is done using approximately 10,000 photomultipliers (PMTs).
The LHC will undergo a series of...
The BESIII (Beijing Spectrometer III) experiment is hosted at the leptonic collider BEPCII (Beijing Electron Positron Collider II) at IHEP in Beijing and it is successfully running since 2009. Recently, an extension of the data taking for the next 10 years has been approved, so an upgrade program has started. A central element of the upgrade is the replacement of the present inner tracker with...
Theoretical prediction for the distribution of the angle between electrons and positrons originating in internal pair creations is a monotonic featureless decrease with the opening angle. Recent studies on excited states of 8Be and 4He nuclei, made in ATOMKI, Hungary, however, revealed deviations from this expectation. If true, such a result may have a fundamental impact: the anomaly can be...
To meet new TDAQ buffering requirements and withstand the high expected radiation doses
at the high-luminosity LHC, the ATLAS Liquid Argon Calorimeter readout electronics will be
upgraded. The triangular calorimeter signals are amplified and shaped by analogue
electronics over a dynamic range of 16 bits, with low noise and excellent linearity.
Developments of low-power preamplifiers and...
The neutron time-of-flight facility nELBE at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf features the first photo-neutron source at a superconducting electron accelerator. The electrons are focused onto a liquid lead target to produce bremsstrahlung which in turn produces neutrons via photo-nuclear reactions. The emitted neutron spectrum ranges from about 10 keV up to 15 MeV with a source strength of...
At the microtron M-10 of Uzhgorod National University there are carried out experimental investigations of photonuclear reactions as well as applied studies of irradiation influence on the properties of new technological materials and electronical components. It is possible to use electron, bremsstrahlung and neutron fluxes.
The bremsstrahlung is generated by output electron beam at few...
The natural niobium metal is well suited for atomic reactors due to its high temperature resistant, corrosion resistant, low long term induced radioactivity properties. Niobium alloys such as NbTi and Nb3Sn are used as super magnets in fusion reactors due to its super conducting properties. The 93Nb(n,2n)92mNb reaction is also used as monitor reaction. Therefore accurate data of...
Depending on the used library, nuclear data regarding the emission of delayed neutrons present significant discrepancies. Therefore, in the framework of the NEEDS/NACRE collaboration, the ALDEN (Average Lifetime of DElayed Neutrons) program was launched in 2018 by CEA (DES and DRF), CNRS (LPSC, CENBG, LPC Caen), ENSICAEN and Caen University. This program aims at measuring the...
Segmented HPGe (High Purity Germanium) detectors are commonplace in nuclear structure studies, where position and amount of energy deposited by the photon’s interactions inside the detector are fully reconstructed at every event using the pulse shape analysis methods. Recently a similar segmented HPGe detector concept in combination with a multi-slit collimator was proposed for gamma emission...
During the last reactor cycle in 2020, a combined team from the Institut Laue-Langevin and Berkeley National Lab has commissioned and tested a self-learning algorithm capable to perform autonomous measurements. For the first time the computer took control of the three axis neutron spectrometer ThALES, without any human intervention. The algorithm was able to explore the reciprocal space and...
The Active Target ATS (Active Target for SPES) is a new time-projection chamber designed for reaction and decay studies with nuclei far from stability. This kind of instrument, initially developed for high-energy physics, has found profitable applications in medium- and low-energy nuclear physics as shown by a successful series of experiments.
The physics cases for the new-generation active...
The construction of new portable spectrometer "MULTI" is designed for the measurement of β-γ-neutron coincidences in search for pygmy dipole resonances in exotic nuclei. It is based on many years of experience with spectrometer for direct measurement of the total reaction cross section with radioactive beams. Experimental technique includes measurement of the ratios between gamma-ray emission...
