Physical limitations to the spatial resolution of solid-state detectors
In this paper we explore the effect of -ray emission, fluctuations in
th e signal deposition on the detection of charged particles in silicon-based
detec tors. We show that these two effects ultimately limit the resolution that
can be achieved by interpolation of the signal in finely segmented
position-sensitive solid-state devices.Comment: 5 page
Multiple Classifier Systems for the Classification of Audio-Visual Emotional States
Abstract. Research activities in the field of human-computer inter-action increasingly addressed the aspect of integrating some type of emotional intelligence. Human emotions are expressed through differ-ent modalities such as speech, facial expressions, hand or body gestures, and therefore the classification of human emotions should be considered as a multimodal pattern recognition problem. The aim of our paper is to investigate multiple classifier systems utilizing audio and visual features to classify human emotional states. For that a variety of features have been derived. From the audio signal the fundamental frequency, LPC-and MFCC coefficients, and RASTA-PLP have been used. In addition to that two types of visual features have been computed, namely form and motion features of intermediate complexity. The numerical evaluation has been performed on the four emotional labels Arousal, Expectancy, Power, Valence as defined in the AVEC data set. As classifier architec-tures multiple classifier systems are applied, these have been proven to be accurate and robust against missing and noisy data.
Performance studies of the Belle II Silicon Vertex Detector with data taken at the DESY test beam in April 2016
Belle II is a multipurpose detector currently under construction which will be operated at the next generation B-factory SuberKEKB in Japan. Its main devices for the vertex reconstruction are the Silicon Vertex Detector (SVD) and the Pixel Detector (PXD). In April 2016 a sector of the Belle II SVD and PXD have been tested in a beam of high energetic electrons at the test beam facility at DESY Hamburg (Germany). We report here the results for the hit efficiency estimation and the measurement of the resolution for the Belle II silicon vertex etector. We find that the hit efficiencies are on average above 99.5% and that the measured resolution is within the expectations

Measurement of the Branching Fraction of the Decay in Fully Reconstructed Events at Belle
We present an analysis of the exclusive
decay, where represents an
electron or a muon, with the assumption of charge-conjugation symmetry and
lepton universality. The analysis uses the full data sample
collected by the Belle detector, corresponding to 711 fb of integrated
luminosity. We select the events by fully reconstructing one meson in
hadronic decay modes, subsequently determining the properties of the other
meson. We extract the signal yields using a binned maximum-likelihood fit to
the missing-mass squared distribution in bins of the invariant mass of the two
pions or the momentum transfer squared. We measure a total branching fraction
of , where the
uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. This result is the
first reported measurement of this decay.Comment: 23 pages, 19 figure
Upgrade of Belle II Vertex Detector with CMOS Pixel Technology
The Belle II experiment at KEK in Japan considers upgrading its vertex
detector system to address the challenges posed by high background levels
caused by the increased luminosity of the SuperKEKB collider. One proposal for
upgrading the vertex detector aims to install a 5-layer all monolithic pixel
vertex detector based on fully depleted CMOS sensors in 2027. The new system
will use the OBELIX MAPS chips to improve background robustness and reduce
occupancy levels through small and fast pixels. This causes better track
finding, especially for low transverse momenta tracks. This text will focus on
the predecessor of the OBELIX sensor, the TJ-Monopix2, presenting laboratory
and test beam results on pixel response, efficiency, and spatial resolution.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figures, Proceedings for 24th international Workshop on
