Quartz Capillary Cladding Anthracene and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon(PAH)-Core Scintillating/WLS Fibers for High Rates and Radiation Damage Resistance

Quartz capillary tube/fibers have been filled with anthracene by a melt and vacuum inbibition process to fabricate a scintillating core fiber. Other polcyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAH), such as p-Terphenyl (pTP), stilbene or naphthalene are also well-suited to scintillating/shifting fiber cores. The resulting scintillating core with quartz cladding capillary fibers (250-750 micron cores) had a high specific light output when tested with muons (8 p.e. per MIP). These PAH core quartz capillary cladding scintillating/shifting optical fibers have the potential of high radiation resistance, fast response, and are applicable to many energy and intensity frontier experiments.

Secondary Emission Calorimetry: Fast and Radiation-Hard

A novel calorimeter sensor for electron, photon and hadron energy measurement based on Secondary Emission(SE) to measure ionization is described, using sheet-dynodes directly as the active detection medium; the shower particles in an SE calorimeter cause direct secondary emission from dynode arrays comprising the sampling or absorbing medium. Data is presented on prototype tests and Monte Carlo simulations. This sensor can be made radiation hard at GigaRad levels, is easily transversely segmentable at the mm scale, and in a calorimeter has energy signal rise-times and integration comparable to or better than plastic scintillation/PMT calorimeters. Applications are mainly in the energy and intensity frontiers.

Commissioning of the CMS zero degree calorimeter using LHC beam

This paper reports on the commissioning and first running experience of the CMS Zero Degree Calorimeters during December 2009. All channels worked correctly. The ZDCs were timed into the data acquisition system using beam splash events. These data also allowed us to make a first estimate of channel-by-channel variations in gain.

The Massless DKP Equation and Maxwell Equations in Bianchi Type III Spacetimes

This paper has been removed by arXiv administrators because it plagiarizes P.K. Jena, P.C. Naik and T. Pradhan, "Photon As The Zero Mass Limit Of Dkp Field," J. Phys. A {\bf 13}, 2975 (1980) [not cited within submission]. In addition, the following submissions by the authors and their collaborators all contain a great deal of overlap: gr-qc/0502059, gr-qc/0502061, gr-qc/0207026, hep-th/0110228, and hep-th/0207088.
