Proposal for a Quantum-Degenerate Electron Source

M. Zolotorev, E. D. Commins, and F. Sannibale
We propose a pulsed electron source capable of 6D brightness orders-of-magnitude greater than that of existing sources. It could deliver average current up to 0.5 pA and achieve an emittance approaching the quantum limit in each spatial dimension. It could be employed to advantage in electron micros ... [Phys. Rev.

Synthetic single crystal diamond as a fission reactor neutron flux monitor

Marco Marinelli, E. Milani, G. Prestopino, A. Tucciarone, C. Verona et al.
Thermal neutron flux monitors were fabricated using chemical vapor deposited single crystal diamond in a p-type/intrinsic/metal/[sup 6]LiF layered structure. They were placed 80 cm above the core midplane of a 1 MW research fission reactor, where the maximum neutron flux is 2.2 x 10[sup 9] neutro ... [Appl. Phys.

Mosses beta radioactivity in Katirli mountain-Bursa, TURKEY

A. G. Kahraman, G. Kaynak, G. Akkaya, A. Gultekin, O. Gurler et al.
Mosses are one of the most widely used procedures to determine via plant of radioactive contamination. The high concentrating capacity of mosses may be used as bioindicator of environmental radioactive contamination. In this study, the mosses were collected in region of Katirli Mountain in northwest ... [AIP Conf. Proc. 899, 737 (2007)] published Fri Apr 27, 2007.

Present Status of the TAC Proton Accelerator Proposal

B. Akkus, P. S. Bilgin, A. Caliskan, S. Sultansoy, and M. Yilmaz

Jet Trigger in the H1 Experiment at HERA

Ana Dubak
A novel calorimeter trigger at the first level is developed to complement existing LAr trigger in the H1 experiment at HERA. It searches for localised energy depositions in the calorimeter, thus avoiding summing up noise distributed over large parts of the calorimeter. This will improve the efficien ... [AIP Conf. Proc. 899, 573 (2007)] published Fri Apr 27, 2007.

A Parameter Optimization for a National SASE FEL Facility

O. Yavas and S. Yigit
The parameter optimization for a national SASE FEL facility was studied. Turkish State Planing Organization (DPT) gave financial support as an inter-universities project to begin technical design studies and test facility of National Accelerator Complex starting from 2006. In addition to a particle ... [AIP Conf. Proc. 899, 299 (2007)] published Fri Apr 27, 2007.

A Testing Setup for the Quality Control Measurements of Phototubes for CMS-CASTOR Calorimeter

Isa Dumanoglu, Gulsen Onengut, and Kenan Sogut
The CMS-CASTOR calorimeter is designed to study the very forward, baryon-rich region in heavy ion collisions. Together with ZDC, it will make possible the covering of almost the whole angular region for CMS. CASTOR consists of quartz plates in a heavy metal matrix. Cherenkov light produced in the qu ...

Fluctuations in Avalanche Photodiode Structure

Fatma Kocak and Ilhan Tapan
The number of primary photo-electrons and the excess noise factor of the Avalanche photodiode (APD) are important parameters for the energy resolution of the crystal-APD system. In the present paper, the mean signal value and its fluctuations have been investigated for the well defined silicon Hamam ... [AIP Conf. Proc. 899, 201 (2007)] published Fri Apr 27, 2007.

Cosmic tests of the ATLAS Semi-Conductor Tracker Barrels

Bilge M. Demirkoz ATLAS SCT Collaboration
The central inner detector of ATLAS consists of the Pixel tracker, the SemiConductor Tracker (SCT) and the Transition Radiation Tracker(TRT). The SCT modules have been tested at several stages from module production to integration with the TRT. The module noise average per channel has been stable an ... [AIP Conf.
