Monitored Drift Tube (MDT) chambers account for the vast majority of precision tracking chambers in the Muon Spectrometer of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), where they have to sustain unprecedentedly high background radiation. New, so-called sMDT chambers with reduced tube diameter have been developed for operation at even higher rates, expected after the upgrade of the LHC...
Huge magnetic clouds of plasma emitted by the Sun dominate intense geomagnetic storm occurrences and simultaneously they are correlated with variations of spectra of particles and nuclei in the interplanetary space, ranging from subtermal solar wind ions till GeV energy galactic cosmic rays. For a reliable and fast forecast of Space Weather world-wide networks of particle detectors are operated at...
