Four-gap glass RPC as a candidate to a large area thin time-of-flight detector
A four-gap glass RPC with 0.3mm gap size was tested with hadron beam as a
time-of-flight detector having a time resolution of ~ 100ps. A thickness of the
detector together with front-end electronics is ~ 12mm. Results on time
resolution dependently on a pad size are presented. This paper contains first
result on the timing RPC (with ~ 100ps resolution) having a strip read-out.
Study has been done within the HARP experiment (CERN-PS214) R&D work. A obtaned
data can be useful if a design of a large area thin timing detector has to be
done.Comment: 18 pages, 13 figure
A fast front-end electronics for the RPC detector in the HARP experiment
A fast 8-channel summing preamplifier and a 16-channel splitter for the readout of the resistive plate chambers in the HARP detector at the CERN Proton Synchrotron are presented. The on-chamber summing preamplifier has an equivalent input noise of less than 10 fC r.m.s., an amplification of 100 mV/pC and less than 1 ns peaking time. The splitter splits the signals from the summing preamplifier into a timing path and a charge path. In the timing path, the signal amplitude is further amplified by a factor of 10 and then discriminated at a 50 mV threshold. The time-over-threshold signal has an intrinsic time skew of less than 15 ps. The discriminator output is sent via twisted-pair cables to a commercial time-to-amplitude converter. In the charge path, the signal is also amplified and sent via twisted-pair cables to a commercial charge-to-amplitude converter
Polaris B, an optical companion of Polaris (alpha UMi) system: atmospheric parameters, chemical composition, distance and mass
We present an analysis of high-resolution spectroscopic observations of
Polaris B, the optical companion of the Polaris Ab system. The star has a
radial velocity V_r of -16.6km/s to -18.9km/s, and a projected rotational
velocity vsini=110 km/s. The derived atmospheric parameters are: Teff=6900K;
logg=4.3; V_t=2.5km/s. Polaris B has elemental abundances generally similar to
those of the Cepheid Polaris A (Usenko et al. 2005a), although carbon, sodium
and magnesium are close to the solar values. At a spectral type of F3V Polaris
B has a luminosity of 3.868L_sun, an absolute magnitude of +3.30mag, and a
distance of 109.5pc. The mass of the star is estimated to be 1.39M_sun, close
to a mass of 1.38+/-0.61M_sun for the recently-resolved orbital periods
