The ALICE time of flight system
The Time-Of-Flight array of the ALICE experiment will provide particle identification in the central rapidity region and in the intermediate momentum range between 0.5 GeV/c and 2.5 GeV/c through high precision time measurements. It is based on Multigap Resistive Plate Chambers with excellent intrinsic time resolution. R&D work carried out during the last two years, final detector design and expected performance are briefly reviewed
Particle identification with the ALICE TOF detector at very high multiplicity
A procedure developed to achieve particle identification in very high multiplicity conditions using a complex time-of-flight system is illustrated in detail by simulating and studying the performance of the ALICE TOF detector in a realistic scenario of Pb-Pb and p-p interactions at LHC
A new approach to the treatment of separatrix chaos and its applications
"Hamiltonian Chaos Beyond the KAM Theory: Dedicated to George M. Zaslavsky (1935 - 2008)" covers the recent developments and advances in the theory and application of Hamiltonian chaos in nonlinear Hamiltonian systems. The book is dedicated to Dr. George Zaslavsky, who was one of three founders of the theory of Hamiltonian chaos. Each chapter in this book was written by well-established scientists in the field of nonlinear Hamiltonian systems. The development presented in this book goes beyond the KAM theory, and the onset and disappearance of chaos in the stochastic and resonant layers of nonlinear Hamiltonian systems are predicted analytically, instead of qualitatively. The book is intended for researchers in the field of nonlinear dynamics in mathematics, physics and engineering. Dr. Albert C.J. Luo is a Professor at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, USA. Dr. Valentin Afraimovich is a Professor at San Luis Potosi University, Mexico
