Recommendations of a Workshop for a Soil-Structure Interaction Experiment

A workshop held in 1992 (Celebi et al., 1992) brought together a panel of experts (a) to reach a consensus on the benefits and feasibility of instrumenting a building in a seismically active region of the United States to study specifically the effect of soil-structure interaction (SSI), and (b) to define the parameters of a SSI experiment. The recommendations of the workshop and the current status of the SSI experiment are described herein

Quadratic pencil of Schrodinger operators with spectral singularities: Discrete spectrum and principal functions

In this article we investigated the spectrum of the quadratic pencil of Schrodinger operators L(lambda) generated in L-2(R+) by the equatio

Test beam studies of the TRD prototype filled with different gas mixtures based on Xe, Kr, and Ar

Towards the end of LHC Run1, gas leaks were observed in some parts of the Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT) of ATLAS. Due to these leaks, primary Xenon based gas mixture was replaced with Argon based mixture in various parts. Test-beam studies with a dedicated Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) prototype were carried out in 2015 in order to understand transition radiation performance with mixtures based on Argon and Krypton. We present and discuss the results of these test-beam studies with different active gas compositions.Comment: 5 pages,12 figures, The 2nd International Conference on Particle Physics and Astrophysics (ICPPA-2016); Acknowledgments section correcte

Some results of test beam studies of Transition Radiation Detector prototypes at CERN

Operating conditions and challenging demands of present and future accelerator experiments result in new requirements on detector systems. There are many ongoing activities aimed to develop new technologies and to improve the properties of detectors based on existing technologies. Our work is dedicated to development of Transition Radiation Detectors (TRD) suitable for different applications. In this paper results obtained in beam tests at SPS accelerator at CERN with the TRD prototype based on straw technology are presented. TRD performance was studied as a function of thickness of the transition radiation radiator and working gas mixture pressure
