Installation and Test of the ATLAS Muon Endcap Trigger Chamber Electronics
For the detector commissioning planned in 2007, a sector assembly of the ATLAS muon endcap trigger chambers is being progressed in CERN. Final technical test of the electronics mounted on a sector must be made at this stage. For systematic test of the electronics (sector test), we have developed a DAQ system on top of the ATLAS online software framework. The system is not dedicated only for this test, but can be used also for the front-end detector part of the overall ATLAS DAQ system. In the presentation, the procedure, meaning and results of the sector test are discussed after brief introduction of the TGC electronics and the sector structure as a construction unit. We introduce plans of further detailed and elaborated tests for the whole system using cosmic ray and single halo muons when all the TGC sub-detector part is completed as concluding remark
Superconducting Gap Structure of Spin-Triplet Superconductor Sr_2RuO_4 Studied by Thermal Conductivity
To clarify the superconducting gap structure of the spin-triplet
superconductor Sr_2RuO_4, the in-plane thermal conductivity has been measured
as a function of relative orientations of the thermal flow, the crystal axes,
and a magnetic field rotating within the 2D RuO_2 planes. The in-plane
variation of the thermal conductivity is incompatible with any model with line
nodes vertical to the 2D planes and indicates the existence of horizontal
nodes. These results place strong constraints on models that attempt to explain
the mechanism of the triplet superconductivity.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, to be published in Phys. Rev. Let
Measurement of the cosmic-ray antiproton spectrum at solar minimum with a long-duration balloon flight over Antarctica
The energy spectrum of cosmic-ray antiprotons from 0.17 to 3.5 GeV has been
measured using 7886 antiprotons detected by BESS-Polar II during a
long-duration flight over Antarctica near solar minimum in December 2007 and
January 2008. This shows good consistency with secondary antiproton
calculations. Cosmologically primary antiprotons have been investigated by
comparing measured and calculated antiproton spectra. BESS-Polar II data show
no evidence of primary antiprotons from evaporation of primordial black holes.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, submitted to Physical Review Letter
