Silicon detector technology development in India for the participation in international experiments

A specific research and development program has been carried out by BARC in India to develop the technology for large area silicon strip detectors for application in nuclear and high energy physics experiments. These strip detectors will be used as pre-shower detector in the CMS experiment at LHC, CERN for π ⁰/λ rejection. The fabrication technology to produce silicon strip detectors with very good uniformity over a large area of ∼40 cm², low leakage currents of the order of 10 nA/cm² per strip and high breakdown voltage of >500 V has been developed by BARC. The production of detectors is already under way to deliver 1000 detector modules for the CMS and 90% production is completed. In this paper, research and development work carried out to develop the detector fabrication technology is briefly described. The performance of the silicon strip detectors produced in India is presented. The present status of the detector technology is discussed.      

CH_4/N_2混合气体在CMS上的低温吸附分离实验研究

将煤层气液化后运往终端市场是一种十分有效的利用方式。与常规天然气不同,抽放煤层气含氮量高,采用有效的方式实现CH4/N2分离是煤层气液化流程中重要的环节。吸附分离是提高煤层气中甲烷浓度的可行方法。为了与低温液化过程紧密结合,探讨在低温下实现CH4/N2吸附分离的可行性,文中对CH4/N2在碳分子筛(CMS)上的低温分离特性进行了实验研究,并与常温下的实验结果进行了对比。实验结果表明,低温下CH4/N2吸附分离的特性与常温下有明显差别。

Review of recent advances in the preparation of organic polymer monoliths for liquid chromatography of large molecules

In recent years the use of monolithic polymers in separation science has greatly increased due to the advantages these materials present over particle-based stationary phases, such as their relative ease of preparation and good permeability. For these reasons, these materials present high potential as stationary phases for the separation and purification of large molecules such as proteins, peptides, nucleic acids and cells. An example of this is the wide range of commercial available polymer-based monolithic columns now present in the market.     

炭化条件和铁系添加剂对炭分子筛性能影响的研究

炭分子筛(ＣａｒｂｏｎＭｏｌｅｃｕｌａｒＳｉｅｖｅ,以下简称ＣＭＳ)是具有特别发达的微孔结构的特种活性炭,在气体分离方面有广阔的应用前景[1]。目前作为变压吸附空气分离技术的首选吸附剂,在国内外被广泛用于中小规模的空气分离以制取富Ｎ2气体,制取ＣＭＳ的原料多是椰子壳、果核、植物、石油沥青及各种煤等[2,3]。煤是一种具有较为发达的孔隙结构的物质,且价格低廉,来源广泛,是制取ＣＭＳ的一种较为理想的原料。鸡西地区拥有丰富的煤炭资源,开发煤炭的深加工及高附加值产品具有十分重要的意义。本文以鸡西地区的烟煤为原料,制备空…

Standard Model theory calculations and experimental tests

To present knowledge, all the physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) can be described in the framework of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. Indeed the newly discovered Higgs boson with a mass close to 125 GeV seems to confirm the predictions of the SM. Thus, besides looking for direct manifestations of the physics beyond the SM, one of the primary missions of the LHC is to perform ever more stringent tests of the SM. This requires not only improved theoretical developments to produce testable predictions and provide experiments with reliable event generators, but also sophisticated analyses techniques to overcome the formidable experimental environment of the LHC and perform precision measurements. The present article proposes an overview of the present theoretical tools and of the experimental results in the field of strong and electroweak interactions.     

The Higgs boson discovery and measurements

The discovery of the Higgs boson at a mass around 125 GeV by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC collider in 2012 establishes a new landscape in high-energy physics. The analysis of the full data sample collected with pp collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV has allowed for considerable progress since the discovery. A review of the latest results is presented.     

Understanding the performance of CMS calorimeter

The performance of the CMS hadron calorimeter is studied using test beam facilities at CERN. Two wedges of brass-scintillator calorimeter are exposed to negative and positive beams with momenta between 3 and 300 GeV/c. Light produced in the scintillators are collected using wavelength shifting fibres and read out using hybrid photodiodes. Each of the wedges has 17 layers of scintillators. In one of these wedges signal from all 17 layers are grouped together while in the other each layer is read out separately. The response, energy resolution, longitudinal and lateral shower profiles are measured. on behalf of the CMS Collaboration
