Micrometeorites (MMs) are small particles that account for most of the extraterrestrial material deposited on Earth. Synchrotron X-ray fluorescence and diffraction allowed chemical mineral characterization to distinguish MM from atmospheric particulate. The relative components iron, nickel, other elements were considered in identification ferrous while high amounts titanium an indication origin. Out 100 samples collected by school students teachers, eight taken a synchrotron analysis. Of...
In addition to having more longitudinal information, the upgrade plans include a new custom ADC with matched sensitivity and timing information. The increased data volume requires higher speed transmitters additional power dissipation for readout electronics better thermal design, since much of on-detector infrastructure (front-end crates, cooling pipes, optical fiber plant, etc.) will remain same. We report on preliminary designs these upgraded systems, along performance requirements...
