A scintillator‐based particle detector for CRYRING@ESR

Particle Detector R&d

Recent results on the particle detector R&D for new accelerators are reviewed. Different approaches for the muon systems, hadronic and electromagnetic calorimeters, particle identification devices, and central trackers are discussed. Main emphasis is made on the detectors for the International Linear Collider and Super B-factory. A detailed description of a novel photodetector, a so called Sili...

Pdfe: a Particle Detector Front-end Asic

ABSTRACT This paper describes a low power low noise mixed analog-digital PDFE (particle detector front-end) custom chip developed by IMEC for ESA and intended for scientific energetic particle space born instrumentation (spectroscopy). The ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) is designed in a standard 0.7-μm CMOS process. The chip comprises a charge sensitive amplifier, a semi-gaussia...

Towards a high performance geometry library for particle-detector simulations

Thread-parallelisation and single-instruction multiple data (SIMD) ”vectorisation” of software components in HEP computing has become a necessity to fully benefit from current and future computing hardware. In this context, the Geant-Vector/GPU simulation project aims to re-engineer current software for the simulation of the passage of particles through detectors in order to increase the overal...

Supervised algorithms for particle classification by a transition radiation detector

Support Vector Machines (SVM) provide an interesting computational paradigm for the classification of data from high energy physics and particle astrophysics experiments. In this study the classification power of support vector machines is compared with those from standard supervised algorithms, i.e. likelihood ratio (LR) and artificial neural networks (ANN), using test beam data from the trans...
