High Rate Proton Irradiation of 15mm Muon Drifttubes
Future LHC luminosity upgrades will significantly increase the amount of
background hits from photons, neutrons and protons in the detectors of the
ATLAS muon spectrometer. At the proposed LHC peak luminosity of 5*10^34
1/cm^2s, background hit rates of more than 10 kHz/cm^2 are expected in the
innermost forward region, leading to a loss of performance of the current
tracking chambers. Based on the ATLAS Monitored Drift Tube chambers, a new high
rate capable drift tube detecor using tubes with a reduced diameter of 15mm was
developed. To test the response to highly ionizing particles, a prototype
chamber of 46 15mm drift tubes was irradiated with a 20 MeV proton beam at the
tandem accelerator at the Maier-Leibnitz Laboratory, Munich. Three tubes in a
planar layer were irradiated while all other tubes were used for reconstruction
of cosmic muon tracks through irradiated and non-irradiated parts of the
chamber. To determine the rate capability of the 15mm drift-tubes we
investigated the effect of the proton hit rate on pulse height, efficiency and
spatial resolution of the cosmic muon signals

Mapping Cloud-Edge-IoT opportunities and challenges in Europe
While current data processing predominantly occurs in centralized facilities, with a minor portion handled by smart objects, a shift is anticipated, with a surge in data originating from smart devices. This evolution necessitates reconfiguring the infrastructure, emphasising computing capabilities at the cloud's "edge" closer to data sources. This change symbolises the merging of cloud, edge, and IoT technologies into a unified network infrastructure - a Computing Continuum - poised to redefine tech interactions, offering novel prospects across diverse sectors. The computing continuum is emerging as a cornerstone of tech advancement in the contemporary digital era.
This paper provides an in-depth exploration of the computing continuum, highlighting its potential, practical implications, and the adjustments required to tackle existing challenges. It emphasises the continuum's real-world applications, market trends, and its significance in shaping Europe's tech future
