Performance testing of a long-strip two-end readout multi-gap resistive plate chamber

Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chamber （MRPC） is a new generation of gas detector with good timing and spacial resolution, whose technique is widely applied in some recent high energy （nuclear） physics experiments. In this letter, we report a long-strip two-end readout MRPC and its test beam performance. The measurements show that the long-strip performs a transmission line characteristic and the impedance is independent of the length of strip. The MRPC module we developed is presented to gain a timing resolution of -80 ps and a spacial resolution of -6.4 mm. The possible application of the MRPC is also discussed.

Study of neutron response for two hybrid RPC setups using the GEANT4 MC simulation approach

The present article describes a detailed neutron simulation study in the energy range 10~(-10) MeV to 1.0 GeV for two different RPC configurations.The simulation studies were taken by using the GEANT4 MC code.Aluminum was utilized on the GND and readout strips for the (a) Bakelite-based and (b) glass-based RPCs.For the former type of RPC setup the neutron sensitivity for the isotropic source was S_n=2.702×10~(-2) at E_n=1.0 GeV, while for the latter type of RPC, the neutron sensitivity for the same source was evaluated as S_n=4.049×10~(-2) at E_n=1.0 geV.These results were further compared with the previous RPC configuration in which copper was used for ground and pickup pads.Additionally A1 was employed at (GND+strips) of the phosphate glass RPC setup and compared with the copper-based phosphate glass RPC.Good agreement with sensitivity values was obtained with the current and previous simulation results.

Spin Glass Computations and Ruelle’s Probability Cascades

We study the Parisi functional, appearing in the Parisi formula for the pressure of the SK model, as a functional on Ruelle's Probability Cascades (RPC). Computation techniques for the RPC formulation of the functional are developed. They are used to derive continuity and monotonicity properties of the functional retrieving a theorem of Guerra. We also detail the connection between the Aizenman-Sims-Starr variational principle and the Parisi formula. As a final application of the techniques, we rederive the Almeida-Thouless line in the spirit of Toninelli but relying on the RPC structure.
