Detector and Event Visualization with SketchUp at the CMS Experiment
Tai Sakuma, Thomas McCauley
We have created 3D models of the CMS detector and particle collision events in SketchUp, a 3D modelling program. SketchUp provides a Ruby API which we use to interface with the CMS…
Beam Performance of Tracking Detectors with Industrially Produced GEM Foils
Frank Simon, James Kelsey, Michael Kohl +7
Three Gas-Electron-Multiplier tracking detectors with an active area of 10 cm x 10 cm and a two-dimensional, laser-etched orthogonal strip readout have been tested extensively in p…
New Prototype Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chambers with Long Strips
Y. J. Sun, C. Li, M. Shao +22
A new kind of Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chamber (MRPC) has been built for the large-area Muon Telescope Detector (MTD) for the STAR experiment at RHIC. These long read-out strip MR…
Triple GEM Detectors for the Forward Tracker in STAR
Frank Simon, James Kelsey, Michael Kohl +7
Future measurements of the flavor-separated spin structure of the proton via parity-violating W boson production at RHIC require an upgrade of the forward tracking system of the ST…
