Status and perspective of detector databases in the CMS experiment at the LHC

This note gives an overview at a high conceptual level of the various databases that capture the information concerning the CMS detector. The detector domain has been split up into four, partly overlapping parts that cover phases in the detector life cycle: construction, integration, configuration and condition, and a geometry part that is common to all phases. The discussion addresses the specific content and usage of each part, and further requirements, dependencies and interfaces

GEANT4 : a simulation toolkit

Abstract Geant4 is a toolkit for simulating the passage of particles through matter. It includes a complete range of functionality including tracking, geometry, physics models and hits. The physics processes offered cover a comprehensive range, including electromagnetic, hadronic and optical processes, a large set of long-lived particles, materials and elements, over a wide energy range starting, in some cases, from 250 eV and extending in others to the TeV energy range. It has been designed and constructed to expose the physics models utilised, to handle complex geometries, and to enable its easy adaptation for optimal use in different sets of applications. The toolkit is the result of a worldwide collaboration of physicists and software engineers. It has been created exploiting software engineering and object-oriented technology and implemented in the C++ programming language. It has been used in applications in particle physics, nuclear physics, accelerator design, space engineering and medical physics. PACS: 07.05.Tp; 13; 2

Zwischen Notwehr und rechtswidrigem Angriff: Schranken der Notwehrhandlung

Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit dem in der strafrechtlichen Praxis überaus relevanten und in der Wissenschaft viel diskutierten Thema der Notwehr. Besonderes Augenmerk wird auf die Notwehrhandlung und ihre Schranken zu legen sein. Als Ausgangspunkt und gleichzeitig als Leitfaden durch die gesamte Arbeit dient die Frage: Wie darf sich ein Angegriffener zur Wehr setzen, ohne rechtswidrig zu handeln? Während dem Angegriffenen in seiner konkreten Situation oftmals nicht viel Zeit zum Überlegen bleibt, sind die Antworten auf obige Frage aus wissenschaftlicher Sicht vielfältig und nicht unumstritten. Für ein besseres Verständnis erscheint zunächst die Vermittlung einiger Grundlagen sinnvoll. Im Anschluss folgt als Kernbereich der Arbeit eine Auseinandersetzung mit den Problemen, die sich im Zusammenhang mit Schranken der Notwehrhandlung ergeben. Abschließend soll das Erörterte nochmals kurz und zusammenfassend dargestellt werden, wobei versucht wird, die Hauptaussagen zum Kern der Arbeit in prägnanter Form darzustellen. Ziel ist eine Auseinandersetzung mit den Schranken der Notwehrhandlung zu dem Zweck, dass die eingangs gestellte Frage vom Leser zu seiner Zufriedenheit beantwortet werden kann.eingereicht von Daniel LiendlUniversität Linz, Diplomarbeit, 2017(VLID)238964

Detector Description Domain Architecture & Data Model

This document discusses the detector description architecture for CMS. It describes the model and technology for storing data. Finally this document discusses other detector description efforts, and integration projects that use XML for storing, representing and exchanging data and compare it with the approach described in this document. This document is the basis for the design and implementation of the detector description software
