The ATLAS Roman Pot system is designed to determine the total proton-proton cross section as well luminosity at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) by measuring elastic proton scattering very small angles. made of four stations, located in LHC tunnel a distance about 240 m both sides interaction point. Each station equipped with tracking detectors, inserted Pots which approach beams vertically. detectors consist multi-layer scintillating fibre structures read out Multi-Anode-Photo-Multipliers.
The TILE CALorimeter, the hadronic sampling calorimeter of ATLAS/LHC/CERN, is made iron and polystyrene scintillating tiles. light produced in tiles absorbed guided to photomultipliers (PMTs) through wave length shifter (WLS) optical fibers. To optimize detection jets muons, top fibers away PMTs coated with an aluminum mirror. This mirror by planar magnetron sputtering. process adds excellent reproducibility a minimal thermal aggression, important for proper film adhesion plastic surface....
Optical and structural properties of single crystalline α-Al2O3 were changed by the implantation high fluences Ni ions. Sapphire crystals with <0001> orientation implanted at room temperature 150 keV nickel Implantation in range 0.3×1015 to 1.8×1017 cm-2. After optical absorption spectra reveal presence a band peaking region 300 - 500 nm, depending on retained fluence. This is usually related metallic particles. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies show after implantation. Annealing...
