X-ray phase contrast computed tomography (PC-CT) permits the non-destructive visualization of the internal structures of low atomic number materials and has become an invaluable analysis tool for the development and the applications of new materials. Here we implement an in-line phase contrast CT imaging technique for Carbon/Carbon composites, which consists of a scanning mode with object offset and...
We present the first results of a tracking system prototype using the artificial retina algorithm for fast track finding. The system is based on extensive parallelization and interconnectivity, and allows real-time tracking with offline-like quality with a latency < 1 μs. The artificial retina algorithm has been implemented on a novel custom data acquisition board, based on commercial FPGAs, that...
We present the design for the first prototype of a tracking system with “artificial retina” for fast track finding. The “artificial retina” is a tracking algorithm inspired by neurobiology and based on extensive parallelization of data distribution and pattern recognition. It allows track finding with a latency < 1 µs and with track parameter resolutions that are comparable with offline reconstruction...
Inorganic glasses are a potential source of affordable scintillators for particle physics; however, for application to calorimetry, dense glasses are required, and oxide glasses with the necessary characteristics have proved difficult to produce. Recent work has demonstrated that cerium-doped heavy metal fluoride (HMF) glasses have many of the required properties, although their performance is limited...
