The ATLAS Forward Physics (AFP) project aims to measure protons scattered under a small angle from the pp collisions in ATLAS. In order to perform such measurements, a new silicon tracker, together with a time-of-flight detector for pile-up removal, are planned to be installed at μ210 m away from the interaction point and at 2–3 mm away from the LHC proton beam. To cope with such configuration and...
High energy physics experiments in the intensity frontier push at the limit the detector resolutions. This is the also case for the upgrade of the MEG experiment that requires a design of a new drift chamber to track 52.8 MeV positrons with a single hit resolution of about 100 µm. In order to to compare the tracking performances of various prototypes implementing different cell configurations, a high...
This work presents the design, modeling and micro-fabrication of a biomimetic digital-output inclinometer. It describes the first attempt, up to our knowledge, to exploit the statolyth-cilia arrangement found in the statocyst organ, common in the animal kingdom, for the development of an artificial sensor. A CAD model and the techniques used for the sensor micro-fabrication, together with considerations...
In this paper some research efforts towards the realization of a cybernetic hand prosthesis are presented with specific focus on the biomechatronic design and the preliminary electromyography-based control system. In particular, the analysis of the natural low level control mechanisms and of the cognitive feedback information has been used for designing the CYBERHAND prosthetic hand. An experimental...
