Automatically Assessing Students Performance with Smartphone Data
J. Fernandes, J. Sá Silva, A. Rodrigues +2
As the number of smart devices that surround us increases, so do the opportunities to create smart socially-aware systems. In this context, mobile devices can be used to collect da…
Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors as flatness and mechanical stretching sensors
D. Abbaneo, M. Abbas, M. Abbrescia +153
A novel approach which uses Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors has been utilised to assess and monitor the flatness of Gaseous Electron Multipliers (GEM) foils. The setup layout and…
Performance of a Large-Area GEM Detector Prototype for the Upgrade of the CMS Muon Endcap System
D. Abbaneo, M. Abbas, M. Abbrescia +134
Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) technology is being considered for the forward muon upgrade of the CMS experiment in Phase 2 of the CERN LHC. Its first implementation is planned for…
Towards MPGDs with embedded pixel ASICs
L. Scharenberg, J. Alozy, W. Billereau +27
Combining gaseous detectors with a high-granularity pixelated charge readout enables experimental applications which otherwise could not be achieved. This includes high-resolution…
Percolation approach to quark gluon plasma in high energy pp collisions
J. Dias de Deus, A. Rodrigues
We apply continuum percolation to proton-proton collisions and look for the possible threshold to phase transition from confined nuclear matter to quark gluon plasma. Making the as…
Transverse Momentum Fluctuations from Clustering and Percolation of Strings
J. Dias de Deus, A. Rodrigues
Transverse momentum fluctuations can be understood as resulting from clustering of strings or partons. Data allows to distinguish clustering without percolation, from clustering wi…
Beam Test Results for New Full-scale GEM Prototypes for a Future Upgrade of the CMS High-eta Muon System
D. Abbaneo, M. Abbrescia, C. Armagnaud +56
The CMS GEM collaboration is considering Gas Electron Multipliers (GEMs) for upgrading the CMS forward muon system in the 1.5<|eta|<2.4 endcap region. GEM detectors can provide pre…
Absorption and percolation in the production of J/psi in heavy ion collisions
J. Dias de Deus, R. Ugoccioni, A. Rodrigues
We present a simple model with string absorption and percolation to describe the J/psi suppression in heavy ion collisions. The NA50 data are fairly well explained by the model.
Test beam results of the GE1/1 prototype for a future upgrade of the CMS high- muon system
D. Abbaneo, M. Abbrescia, C. Armagnaud +55
Gas Electron Multipliers (GEM) are an interesting technology under consideration for the future upgrade of the forward region of the CMS muon system, specifically in the $1.6<| η|…
Construction and Performance of Large-Area Triple-GEM Prototypes for Future Upgrades of the CMS Forward Muon System
M. Tytgat, A. Marinov, N. Zaganidis +56
At present, part of the forward RPC muon system of the CMS detector at the CERN LHC remains uninstrumented in the high-ηregion. An international collaboration is investigating the…
Percolation approach to phase transitions in high energy nuclear collisions
A. Rodrigues, R. Ugoccioni, J. Dias de Deus
We study continuum percolation in nuclear collisions for the realistic case in which the nuclear matter distribution is not uniform over the collision volume, and show that the per…
Embedding the Timepix4 in Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detectors
L. Scharenberg, J. Alozy, W. Billereau +27
The combination of Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGDs) and pixel charge readout enables specific experimental opportunities. Using the Timepix4 for the readout is advantageous…
Valuation semantics for first-order logics of evidence and truth (and some related logics)
H. Antunes, A. Rodrigues, W. Carnielli +1
This paper introduces the logic , a quantified extension of the logic of evidence and truth , together with a corresponding sound and complete first-order non-de…
A novel application of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors in MPGD
D. Abbaneo, M. Abbas, M. Abbrescia +153
We present a novel application of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors in the construction and characterisation of Micro Pattern Gaseous Detector (MPGD), with particular attention to…
Social Sensing and Human in the Loop Profiling during Pandemics: the Vitoria application
J. Fernandes, J. Sá Silva, A. Rodrigues +4
As the number of smart devices that surround us increases, so do the opportunities to leverage them to create socially- and context-aware systems. Smart devices can be used for bet…
