Performance of the low pressure MWPCs for f ission fragments under a high background

Two couples of low pressure multi-wire proportional chambers (MWPC) were located in the target chamber to detect fission fragments in a hypernuclei producing experiment at Thomas Jefferson National Laboratory (Jlab). In the experiment, a continuous wave (CW) electron beam was applied to form hypernuclei by electromagnetic interaction. In the target chamber, the high energy (1.853 GeV) and high intensity (500 nA) primary electron beam caused a high particle background, which influenced the detection of the fission fragments. This report described the design of the MWPCs and studied the fission-fragment detecting performance of them under such a high background. The efficiency of the MWPCs was given with the help of a high resolution kaon spectrometer. At the same time, the background particles were discussed with a Monte Carlo code based on GEANT4.

Generalized Principal-State-of-Polarization Analysis and Matrix Model for Piezoelectric Polarization Controllers

We introduce a generalized concept of principal state of polarization （PSP） to analyse the piezoelectric polarization controller （PPC） and find each PPC unit can be described by a rotation matrix determined by the PSP. Our PPC has three components, each made of a jaw and a piezoelectric actuator with the squeezing direction tilted 0°, 45° and 0°, which are driven by a tunable power supply. We demonstrate that all the polarization rotation angles are linear to driving voltages and the PSP of unit 2 is nearly orthogonal to others which are almost equal. Taking some approximate treatments we obtain the matrix model of our PPC with respect to three driving voltages. The average error of our theoretical model is 1.51°, and the polarization response time is 〈50 μs, which is promising to realize an open-loop control of polarization.     

天然气和“报警员”

对于豁达者而言,任何日子都是美满幸福的。硫化氢是一种有臭鸡蛋气味的气体,很难闻。平时,其他气体都不愿接近它。这一天,它来到天然气管道中,里面的乙烷看到后问:"你来干什么?"里面的甲烷也不客气地说:"你赶快走,讨厌的家伙!"
