DIRC – The Particle Identification System for BaBar

Construction and Performance of the BABAR-DIRC

The new type of ring-imaging Cherenkov detector technology called Dirc (an acronym for Detection of Internally Reflected Cherenkov (Light)) has been used successfully for hadronic particle identification in the BABAR experiment at the B Factory (PEP-II) located at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. This paper describes the R&D for and the construction of the Dirc radiator bars and the pe...

Front-end electronics for imaging detectors

Front-end electronics for imaging detectors with large numbers of pixels (10–10) is reviewed. The noise limits as a function of detector capacitance and power dissipation are presented for CMOS technology. Active matrix flat panel imagers (AMFPIs) are discussed and their potential noise performance is illustrated. r 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All

Front-end Electronics Configuration System for Cms

The four LHC experiments at CERN have decided to use a commercial SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) product for the supervision of their DCS (Detector Control System). The selected SCADA, which is used for the CMS DCS, is PVSS II from the company ETM. This SCADA has its own database, which is suitable for storing conventional controls data such as voltages, temperatures and press...
