    悬臂梁式微机械隧道陀螺仪是一种以悬臂梁作为换能构件,以电子隧道效应作为输出敏感方式的高精度和高灵敏度的角振动传感器,解决了传统微机械陀螺仪因尺寸减小而导致的灵敏度降低的缺点。加工工艺是制约其产业化的关键。悬臂梁是其核心构件,它将输入的角速度转为梁的振动位移,为了达到高的响应频率和输出,悬臂梁应达到一定的厚度和尺寸精度,这给悬臂梁的制作带来一定的难度。本文利用近紫外线厚胶光刻和微电铸的方法实现悬臂梁的制作,主要的研究工作包含如下几个部分:  根据微机械隧道陀螺仪的工作原理和悬臂梁的结构特点,分析制作要求和工艺难点;查阅资料了解当前主要的MEMS加工工艺,特别是三维结构的加工,选...Micro-machined tunneling gyroscope with cantilever is a kind of angular rate sensor with high sensitivity and resolution, in which cantilever works as transducer and electron tunneling effect is employed as sensor.

    A new measurement of the K-+/- -> pi(+/-)gamma gamma decay at the NA48/2 experiment

    No full text
    The NA48/2 experiment at CERN collected two data samples with minimum bias trigger conditions in 2003 and 2004. A measurement of the rate and dynamic properties of the rare decay K-+/- -> pi(+/-)gamma gamma from these data sets based on 149 decay candidates with an estimated background of 15.5 +/- 0.7 events is reported. The model-independent branching ratio in the kinematic range z = (m(gamma gamma)/m(K))(2) > 0.2 is measured to be B-MI(z > 0.2) = (0.877 +/- 0.089) x 10(-6), and the branching ratio in the full kinematic range assuming a particular Chiral Perturbation Theory description to be B(K-pi gamma gamma) = (0.910 +/- 0.075) x 10(-6).

    Search for the dark photon in pi(0) decays

    No full text
    A sample of 1.69 x 10(7) fully reconstructed pi(0) -> gamma e(+)e(-) decay candidates collected by the NA48/2 experiment at CERN in 2003-2004 is analyzed to search for the dark photon (A') production in the pi(0) -> gamma A' decay followed by the prompt A' -> e(+)e(-) decay. No signal is observed, and an exclusion region in the plane of the dark photon mass m(A') and mixing parameter epsilon(2) is established. The obtained upper limits on epsilon(2) are more stringent than the previous limits in the mass range 9 MeV/c(2) pi(+/-)A' decay is also evaluated. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V

    Study of the K-+/- -> pi(+/-)gamma gamma decay by the NA62 experiment

    No full text
    A study of the dynamics of the rare decay K-+/- -> pi(+/-)gamma gamma has been performed on a sample of 232 decay candidates, with an estimated background of 17.4 +/- 1.1 events, collected by the NA62 experiment at CERN in 2007. The results are combined with those from a measurement conducted by the NA48/2 Collaboration at CERN. The combined model-independent branching ratio in the kinematic range z = (m gamma gamma/m(K))(2) > 0.2 is B-MI(z > 0.2) = (0.965 +/- 0.063) x 10(-6), and the combined branching ratio in the full kinematic range assuming a Chiral Perturbation Theory description is B(K-pi gamma gamma) = (1.003 +/- 0.056) x 10(-6). A detailed comparison of the results with the previous measurements is performed. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V

    Search for supersymmetry in pp collisions at in events with a single lepton, large jet multiplicity, and multiple b jets

    No full text
    Results are reported from a search for supersymmetry in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, based on events with a single isolated lepton (electron or muon) and multiple jets, at least two of which are identified as b jets. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.3 fb(-1) recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2012. The search is motivated by supersymmetric models that involve strong-production processes and cascade decays of new particles. The resulting final states contain multiple jets as well as missing transverse momentum from weakly interacting particles. The event yields, observed across several kinematic regions, are consistent with the expectations from standard model processes. The results are interpreted in the context of simplified supersymmetric scenarios with pair production of gluinos, where each gluino decays to a top quark-antiquark pair and the lightest neutralino. For the case of decays via virtual top squarks, gluinos with a mass smaller than 1.26 TeV are excluded for low neutralino masses

    Searches for supersymmetry based on events with b jets and four W bosons in pp collisions at 8 TeV

    No full text
    Five mutually exclusive searches for supersymmetry are presented based on events in which b jets and four W bosons are produced in proton-proton collisions at root s = 8TeV. The data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.5 fb(-1), were collected with the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC in 2012. The five studies differ in the leptonic signature from the W boson decays, and correspond to all-hadronic, single-lepton, opposite-sign dilepton, same-sign dilepton, and >= 3 lepton final states. The results of the five studies are combined to yield 95% confidence level limits for the gluino and bottom-squark masses in the context of gluino and bottom-squark pair production, respectively. In the limit when the lightest supersymmetric particle is light, gluino and bottom squark masses are excluded below 1280 and 570 GeV, respectively

    CMS physics technical design report: Addendum on high density QCD with heavy ions

    This report presents the capabilities of the CMS experiment to explore the rich heavy-ion physics programme offered by the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The collisions of lead nuclei at energies ,will probe quark and gluon matter at unprecedented values of energy density. The prime goal of this research is to study the fundamental theory of the strong interaction - Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) - in extreme conditions of temperature, density and parton momentum fraction (low-x). This report covers in detail the potential of CMS to carry out a series of representative Pb-Pb measurements. These include "bulk" observables, (charged hadron multiplicity, low pT inclusive hadron identified spectra and elliptic flow) which provide information on the collective properties of the system, as well as perturbative probes such as quarkonia, heavy-quarks, jets and high pT hadrons which yield "tomographic" information of the hottest and densest phases of the reaction.0info:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

    Search for excited quarks in the gamma plus jet final state in proton-proton collisions at root s=8 TeV

    No full text
    A search for excited quarks decaying into the gamma + jet final state is presented. The analysis is based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb(-1) collected by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions at root s = 8 TeV at the LHC. Events with photons and jets with high transverse momenta are selected and the gamma + jet invariant mass distribution is studied to search for a resonance peak. The 95% confidence level upper limits on the product of cross section and branching fraction are evaluated as a function of the excited quark mass. Limits on excited quarks are presented as a function of their mass and coupling strength; masses below 3.5 TeV are excluded at 95% confidence level for unit couplings to their standard model partners

    Measurement of the ratio B(t -> Wb)/B(t -> Wq) in pp collisions at root s=8 TeV

    No full text
    The ratio of the top-quark branching fractions R = B(t --> Wb)/B(t --> Wq), where the denominator includes the sum over all down-type quarks (q = b, s, d), is measured in the t (t) over bar dilepton final state with proton-proton collision data at root s = 8 TeV from an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb(-1), collected with the CMS detector. In order to quantify the purity of the signal sample, the cross section is measured by fitting the observed jet multiplicity, thereby constraining the signal and background contributions. By counting the number of b jets per event, an unconstrained value of R = 1.014 +/- 0.003 (stat.) +/- 0.032 (syst.) is measured, in a good agreement with current precision measurements in electroweak and flavour sectors. A lower limit R > 0.955 at the 95% confidence level is obtained after requiring R 0.975 is set at 95% confidence level. The result is combined with a previous CMS measurement of the t-channel single-top-quark cross section to determine the top-quark total decay width, Gamma(t) = 1.36 +/- 0.02 (stat.)(-0.11)(+0.14) (syst.)
