Acoustic Gas Thermometry

We review the principles, techniques and results from primary acoustic gas thermometry (AGT). Since the establishment of ITS-90, the International Temperature Scale of 1990, spherical and quasi-spherical cavity resonators have been used to realize primary AGT in the temperature range 7K to 552 K. Throughout the sub-range 90K < T < 384 K, at least two laboratories measured (T − T90). (Here T is the thermodynamic temperature and T90 is the temperature on ITS-90.) With a minor exception, the resulting values of (T −T90) are mutually consistent within 3 × 10−6 T . These consistent measurements were obtained using helium and argon as thermometric gases inside cavities that had radii ranging from 40mm to 90mm and that had walls made of copper or aluminium or stainless steel. The AGT values of (T − T90) fall on a smooth curve that is outside ±u(T90), the estimated uncertainty of T90. Thus, the AGT results imply that ITS-90 has errors that could be reduced in a future temperature scale. Recently developed techniques imply that low-uncertainty AGT can be realized at temperatures up to 1350K or higher and also at temperatures in the liquid-helium range

T2K ND280 Upgrade - Technical Design Report

In this document, we present the Technical Design Report of the Upgrade of the T2K Near Detector ND280. The goal of this upgrade is to improve the Near Detector performance to measure the neutrino interaction rate and to constrain the neutrino interaction cross-sections so that the uncertainty in the number of predicted events at Super-Kamiokande is reduced to about 4%. This will allow to improve the physics reach of the T2K-II project. This goal is achieved by modifying the upstream part of the detector, adding a new highly granular scintillator detector (Super-FGD), two new TPCs (High-Angle TPC) and six TOF planes. Details about the detector concepts, design and construction methods are presented, as well as a first look at the test-beam data taken in Summer 2018. An update of the physics studies is also presented
