This paper presents the latest results from Ringer algorithm, which is based on artificial neural networks for electron identification at online filtering system of ATLAS particle detector, in context LHC experiment CERN. The algorithm performs topological feature extraction using calorimetry information (energy measurements). extracted presented to a network classifier. Studies showed that achieves high detection efficiency, while keeping false alarm rate low. Optimizations, guided by...
The ATLAS experiment is one of the multi-purpose experiments at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) CERN, constructed to study elementary particle interactions in collisions high-energy proton beams. Twelve different sub detectors as well common experimental infrastructure are controlled and monitored by Detector Control System (DCS) using a highly distributed system 140 server machines running industrial SCADA product PVSS. Higher level control layers allow for automatic procedures, efficient error...
The ATLAS detector is undergoing intense commissioning effort with cosmic rays preparing for the first LHC collisions late 2009. Combined runs all of subsystems are being taken in order to evaluate performance.

Cosmic rays with kinetic energy larger than 10/sup 20/ eV have been detected by two experiments, AGASA and HIRES. The nature origin of these particles are not known. Acceleration mechanisms that can produce at energies could be due to yet unknown sources energy. extreme cosmic (EECR) rare reaching earth a rate few per square kilometer year. rarity events implies large detector arrays required making construction cost one the main issues. We exploring possibility detect EECR using bi-static...
The ATLAS trigger will need to achieve a 10 -7 rejection factor against proton-proton collisions, and still be able efficiently select interesting events.After first hardware-implemented processing level, the final event selection is done by high-level (HLT), implemented on software.With more than 100 contributors around 250 different packages, thorough validation of HLT software essential.This paper describes existing infrastructure used for validating software.
A neural classifier is developed for passive sonar signals. For achieving data compaction and high performance on the identification of ship classes, processing performed preprocessed in frequency domain. Preprocessing comprises averaged spectral analysis over contiguous acquisition windows, background noise estimation wavelet transformation. The overall discrimination efficiency achieved was better than 94%, considering four classes ships.
