Male, National, and Religious Collective Narcissism Predict Sexism

Results of three cross-sectional studies indicate that sexism in Poland is associated with collective narcissism—a belief that one’s own group’s (the in-group’s) exaggerated exceptionality is not sufficiently recognized by others—with reference to three social identities: male, religious, and national. In Study 1 (n = 329), male collective narcissism was associated with sexism. This relationship was sequentially mediated by precarious manhood and traditional gender beliefs. In Study 2 (n = 877), Catholic collective narcissism predicted tolerance of violence against women (among men and women) over and above religious fundamentalism and in contrast to intrinsic religiosity. In Study 3 (n = 1070), national collective narcissism was associated with hostile sexism among men and women and with benevolent sexism more strongly among women than among men. In contrast, national in-group satisfaction—a belief that the nation is of a high value—predicted rejection of benevolent and hostile sexism among women but was positively associated with hostile and benevolent sexism among men. Among men and women collective narcissism was associated with tolerance of domestic violence against women, whereas national in-group satisfaction was associated with rejection of violence against women

Study of indium bumps for the ATLAS pixel detector

The bump-bonding technology is used to join the front-end read-out chips to the silicon substrate of the ATLAS pixel detector. We review the current status of the technology used by Alenia Marconi Systems and we report on the electrical and mechanical properties and the defect rate of the indium bumps. (1 refs)

Results on 0.7% X0 thick pixel modules for the ATLAS detector

Modules are the basic building blocks of the ATLAS pixel detector system, they are made of a silicon sensor tile containing ~46000 pixel cells of 50 mu m*400 mu m, 16 front-end chips connected to the sensor through bump bonding, a kapton flex circuit and the module controller chip. The pixel detector is the first to encounter particles emerging from LHC interactions, minimization of radiation length of pixel modules is therefore very important. We report here on the construction techniques and on the operation of the first ATLAS pixel modules of 0.7% radiation length thickness. We have operated these modules with threshold of 3700*10+or-300*10, mean noise value of 225*10 and 0.3% dead channels. (3 refs)

Ultra-light and stable composite structure to support and cool the ATLAS pixel detector barrel electronics modules

The design of an ultra light structure, the so-called \u201cstave\u201d, to support and cool the sensitive elements of the Barrel Pixel detector, the innermost part of the ATLAS detector to be installed on the new Large Hadron Collider at CERN (Geneva), is presented. Very high-dimensional stability, minimization of the material and ability of operating 10 years in a high radiation environment are the key design requirements. The proposed solution consists of a combination of different carbon-based materials (impregnated carbon\u2013carbon, ultra high modulus carbon fibre composites) coupled to a thin aluminum tube to form a very light support with an integrated cooling channel. Our design has proven to successfully fulfil the requirements. The extensive prototyping and testing program to fully qualify the design and release the production are discussed
