The longitudinal density monitor (LDM) is primarily intended for the measurement of particle population in nominally empty rf buckets. These so-called satellite or ghost bunches can cause problems machine protection as well influencing luminosity calibration LHC. high dynamic range system allows with little 0.01% main bunch at same time characterization bunches. LDM a single-photon counting using visible synchrotron light. photon detector silicon avalanche photodiode operated Geiger mode,...
This study explores the age-old quest to construct a geometric model of quantum particle. While static classical particle models have largely been dismissed, focus has now shifted intricate dynamic that hold promise reconciling general relativity with mechanics. We propose matter particles can be described as radiation confined within dynamically curved spacetime regions, without need for quantization space and time, using standard field equations natural Planck units. Specifically, we...
At the CERN PS complex, precise fast intensity measurements are very important in order to optimize transfer efficiencies between different accelerators. Over last two years a complete renovation has been ongoing, where old electronics, based on analogue integrators, have replaced by fully digital system enclosed single VME card. This new called TRIC (Transformer Integration Card) is 12 bit, 212 MS/s ADC and an FPGA for signal processing. Also located same board one finds 250 V/1.5 W DCDC...
