The Upgrade of the CMS RPC System during the First LHC Long Shutdown
M. Tytgat, A. Marinov, P. Verwilligen +31
The CMS muon system includes in both the barrel and endcap region Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC). They mainly serve as trigger detectors and also improve the reconstruction of muon…
Gas Analysis and Monitoring Systems for the RPC Detector of CMS at LHC
M. Abbrescia, A. Colaleo, R. Guida +38
The Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) detector of the CMS experiment at the LHC proton collider (CERN, Switzerland) will employ an online gas analysis and monitoring system of the fre…
Micrometric Position Monitoring Using Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors in Silicon Detectors
E. Basile, F. Bellucci, L. Benussi +19
We show R&D results including long term stability, resolution, radiation hardness and characterization of Fiber Grating sensors used to monitor structure deformation, repositioning…
Study of gas purifiers for the CMS RPC detector
L. Benussi, S. Bianco, S. Colafranceschi +26
The CMS RPC muon detector utilizes a gas recirculation system called closed loop (CL) to cope with large gas mixture volumes and costs. A systematic study of CL gas purifiers has b…
An Uncoventional Approach for a Straw Tube-Microstrip Detector
E. Basile, F. Bellucci, L. Benussi +19
We report on a novel concept of silicon microstrips and straw tubes detector, where integration is accomplished by a straw module with straws not subjected to mechanical tension in…
Two- and Three-Dimensional Reconstruction and Analysis of the Straw Tubes Tomography in the Btev Experiment
E. Basile, F. Bellucci, L. Benussi +21
A check of the eccentricity of the aluminised kapton straw tubes used in the BTeV experiment is accomplished using X-ray tomography of the section of tubes modules. 2 and 3-dimensi…
A Novel Approach for an Integrated Straw tube-Microstrip Detector
E. Basile, F. Bellucci, L. Benussi +23
We report on a novel concept of silicon microstrips and straw tubes detector, where integration is accomplished by a straw module with straws not subjected to mechanical tension in…
