The high luminosity asymmetric e+e− collider SuperB, recently approved by the Italian Government, is designed to deliver a luminosity greater than 1036cm−2s−1 with moderate beam currents and a reduced center of mass boost with respect to earlier B-Factories. An improved vertex resolution is required for precise time-dependent measurements and the SuperB Silicon Vertex Tracker will be equipped with...
We developed a method to make GEM foils with a spherical geometry. Tests of this procedure and with the resulting spherical GEMS are presented. Together with a spherical drift electrode, a spherical conversion gap can be formed. This eliminates the parallax error for detection of X-rays, neutrons or UV photons when a gaseous converter is used. This parallax error limits the spatial resolution at wide...
In the ATLAS experiment, the online luminosity will be monitored mainly by a dedicated detector called LUCID (LUminosity Cherenkov Integrating Detector). This apparatus is composed by two modules having 20 Cherenkov tubes which are mainly sensitive to particles coming from the ATLAS interaction point. The Cherenkov light is collected by photomultiplier tubes (PMT) directly placed at the tubes end...
