The aim of the AEḡIS experiment is to measure the gravitational acceleration for anti-hydrogen in the Earth's gravitational field, thus testing the Weak Equivalence Principle, which states that all bodies fall with the same acceleration independent of their mass and composition. AEḡIS will make use of a gravity module which includes a silicon detector, in order to measure the deflection of anti-hydrogen...
Asynchronous coincidence triggering in PET can be realized by using UDP over 1 Gbps Ethernet. This will bypass problems related to point-to-point connections and tree-structures in real-time coincidence trigger units. By using UDP over Ethernet, the trigger system is easy to scale, and off-the-shelf components can be used. However, due to unknown and network load dependent delay times of UDP communication...
COMPET is an innovative implementation of a small animal PET scanner using a novel block detector geometry, allowing for a high resolution and high sensitivity. One detector block is built up from layers of long LYSO crystals. Perpendicular and interleaved between the crystals, Wave Length Shifting (WLS) fibers are used. The scintillation light created by a gamma ray interacting with a crystal is...
The transition radiation tracker (TRT) is one of three particle tracking detectors now under construction for the ATLAS experiment, whose goal is to exploit the highly exciting new physics potential at CERN's next accelerator, the so called Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The TRT consists of 370000 straw proportional tubes of 4 mm diameter with a 30 micron thick anode wire, which will be operated with...
