The Dipole Magnet Design for the ALICE DiMuon Arm Spectrometer

An essential part of the DiMuon Arm Spectrometer of the ALICE experiment is a conventional Dipole Magnet of about 890 tons which provides the bending power to measure the momenta of muons. The JINR engineering design of the Dipole Magnet, technical characteristics and description of the proposed manufacturing procedure are presented. The proposed Coil fabrication technique is based on winding of flat pancakes, which are subsequently bent on cylindrical mandrels. The pancakes are then stacked and cured with prepreg insulation. The method is demonstrated on hand of the prototype II, which consists of a pancake made with full-size aluminium conductor. Some details of electromagnetic and mechanical calculations are described. The results of measuring of mechanical and electrical characteristics of materials related to the coil composite structure are discussed

PENGARUH PENAMBAHAN CACAHAN LIMBAH PLASTIK JENIS HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE (HDPE) PADA

Waste is a very complex problem in urban area. Plastic waste is increasing every year. Kupang with population of 291,794 people generate waste reaches 926 m3/day. Organic waste to 700 m3 and inorganic waste about 226 m3. Concrete is planned by strength quality 25 MPa. Based on the analysis in this study obtained that concrete flexural strength value increased due to the addition of HDPE plastic shredded into the concrete, with chopped levels are added to the concrete at 0%, 0.50% and 0.90% .0,70%. Flexural strength value of normal concrete without the addition of shredded plastic (0%) is 4.12 MPa, flexural strength of concrete with the addition of shredded plastic 0.50% is 4.30 MPa increased 4.37% from normal concrete flexural strength, flexural strength of concrete with the addition of shredded plastics 0.70% is 4.21 MPa increased 2.19% from the normal concrete flexural strength and flexural strength of concrete with the addition of shredded plastic 0.90% is 3.94 MPa decreased 3.64% of flexural strength normal concrete

Challenges in QCD matter physics - The Compressed Baryonic Matter experiment at FAIR

Substantial experimental and theoretical efforts worldwide are devoted to explore the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter. At LHC and top RHIC energies, QCD matter is studied at very high temperatures and nearly vanishing net-baryon densities. There is evidence that a Quark-Gluon-Plasma (QGP) was created at experiments at RHIC and LHC. The transition from the QGP back to the hadron gas is found to be a smooth cross over. For larger net-baryon densities and lower temperatures, it is expected that the QCD phase diagram exhibits a rich structure, such as a first-order phase transition between hadronic and partonic matter which terminates in a critical point, or exotic phases like quarkyonic matter. The discovery of these landmarks would be a breakthrough in our understanding of the strong interaction and is therefore in the focus of various high-energy heavy-ion research programs. The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at FAIR will play a unique role in the exploration of the QCD phase diagram in the region of high net-baryon densities, because it is designed to run at unprecedented interaction rates. High-rate operation is the key prerequisite for high-precision measurements of multi-differential observables and of rare diagnostic probes which are sensitive to the dense phase of the nuclear fireball. The goal of the CBM experiment at SIS100 (sqrt(s_NN) = 2.7 - 4.9 GeV) is to discover fundamental properties of QCD matter: the phase structure at large baryon-chemical potentials (mu_B > 500 MeV), effects of chiral symmetry, and the equation-of-state at high density as it is expected to occur in the core of neutron stars. In this article, we review the motivation for and the physics programme of CBM, including activities before the start of data taking in 2022, in the context of the worldwide efforts to explore high-density QCD matter.Comment: 15 pages, 11 figures.

CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF A 240 MeV SUPERFERRIC SEPARATED ORBIT CYCLOTRON *

Abstract A conceptual design of the Separated Orbit Cyclotron (SOC) for the proton energy of 240 MeV based on the use of superferric magnets (dipoles and quadrupoles) is presented. Superconducting RF cavities are used as well. The beam intensity is determined by, but not limited to the 500µA available from the IBA "Cyclone-30" cyclotron to be used as the 30MeV injector. The electrical power draw of the helium refrigerator is 250kW

Potentialities of the internal target station at the Nuclotron

Abstract The potentialities of the internal target station used in physics experiments at the Nuclotron, as well as its construction, hardware and software con"gurations are described. The remote control of the station is performed by means of a PC and is based on operative presentation of the magnetic "eld cycle, the beam parameters and the target position on screen. Consequently, the space}time trajectory of motion of a chosen target can be determined in an interactive way by an operator. During the accelerator operation the motion is carried out by means of a stepper motor
