Development of a Detector Control System for the ATLAS Pixel Detector
The innermost part of the ATLAS experiment will be a pixel detector
containing around 1750 individual detector modules. A detector control system
(DCS) is required to handle thousands of I/O channels with varying
characteristics. The main building blocks of the pixel DCS are the cooling
system, the power supplies and the thermal interlock system, responsible for
the ultimate safety of the pixel sensors. The ATLAS Embedded Local Monitor
Board (ELMB), a multi purpose front end I/O system with a CAN interface, is
foreseen for several monitoring and control tasks. The Supervisory, Control And
Data Acquisition (SCADA) system will use PVSS, a commercial software product
chosen for the CERN LHC experiments. We report on the status of the different
building blocks of the ATLAS pixel DCS.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figures, ICALEPCS 200
Supersymmetric Musings on the Predictivity of Family Symmetries
We discuss the predictivity of family symmetries for the soft supersymmetry
breaking parameters in the framework of supergravity. We show that unknown
details of the messenger sector and the supersymmetry breaking hidden sector
enter into the soft parameters, making it difficult to obtain robust
predictions. We find that there are specific choices of messenger fields which
can improve the predictivity for the soft parameters.Comment: 20 pages, 5 figure

Algebraic properties of Gardner's deformations for integrable systems
An algebraic definition of Gardner's deformations for completely integrable
bi-Hamiltonian evolutionary systems is formulated. The proposed approach
extends the class of deformable equations and yields new integrable
evolutionary and hyperbolic Liouville-type systems. An exactly solvable
two-component extension of the Liouville equation is found.Comment: Proc. conf. "Nonlinear Physics: Theory and Experiment IV" (Gallipoli,
