Dr Sergei Lusin (Fermilab)22/09/2009, 09:45Systems, installation and commissioningOralThe design of the CMS power distribution system plays a major role in the ultimate noise performance of detector, both from the perspective of internally generated noise and of noise coupling between subdetectors. Noise considerations in a detector power system depend strongly on the mechanical configuration of the detector and the cabling and grounding conventions used. This talk will...Go to contribution page

Mrs Cristina Fernandez Bedoya (Cent.de Investigac.Energeticas Medioambientales y Tecnol. (CIEMAT))22/09/2009, 10:10Systems, installation and commissioningOralAfter several months of completing the installation and commissioning of the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) DT (Drift Tube) electronics, the system has finally been operated under magnetic field during the so-called CRAFT (Cosmic Run at Four Tesla) exercise. Over 4 weeks, the full detector has been running continuosly under magnetic field and achieved to acquire up to 300 million cosmic muons....Go to contribution page

Dr Valeria Sipala (Dipartimento di Fisica - Università degli Studi di Catania & INFN sez Catania)22/09/2009, 11:00Systems, installation and commissioningOralNew developments in the proton-therapy field for cancer treatments, leaded Italian physics researchers to realize a proton imaging apparatus consisting of a silicon microstrip tracker, to reconstruct the proton trajectories, and a calorimeter, to measure their residual energy. For clinical requirements, the detectors used and the data acquisition system should be able to sustain 1 MHz proton...Go to contribution page

Mr Daniel Charlet (Laboratoire de l''Accelerateur Lineaire (LAL) (IN2P3) (LAL))22/09/2009, 11:25Systems, installation and commissioningOralThe description of the electronic chain for the BArionicOscillation project The BAO Radio project aims at mapping the H gas distribution in the universe using the 21 cm (1420 MHz) hyperfine transition of atomic hydrogen, up to red-shifts z ~ 1.5-2. The main goal of the project is to constrain the Dark Energy properties using the BAO (Baryon Acoustic Oscillation) cosmological probe, which can...Go to contribution page

Dr Gregory Hallewell (Centre de Physique des Particules de Marseille)22/09/2009, 11:50Systems, installation and commissioningOralKM3NeT is a future cubic kilometre-scale neutrino telescope for the deep Mediterranean. Several hundred vertical detection lines, each containing up to 100 optical modules with photomultipliers will be anchored to a sea floor power and data transport network. Data acquisition will minimize offshore electronics, reducing difficult and expensive maintenance operations. No off-shore triggering or...Go to contribution page

Dr Paschalis Vichoudis (CERN)22/09/2009, 12:15Systems, installation and commissioningOralThe CMS Preshower is a fine grain detector that comprises 4288 silicon sensors, each containing 32 strips. The raw data are transferred from the detector to the counting room via 1208 optical fibres producing a total data flow of ~72GB/s. For their readout, 40 multi-FPGA 9U VME readout boards are used. This article is focused on the commissioning of the VME readout system using two tools: a...Go to contribution page

Dr Wojciech Bialas (CERN)22/09/2009, 12:40Systems, installation and commissioningOralThe CMS Preshower detector, based on silicon strip sensors, was installed on the two endcaps of CMS in March/April 2009. First commissioning showed that of the 137000 electronics channels virtually all were fully operational. This report summarizes the electronics integration (on-detector) and in-situ performance in terms of noise (including common-mode pickup), channel-to-channel variations,...Go to contribution page
