High energy physics experiments use a sophisticated set of different sub-detector systems. These sub-detectors range from high precision silicon tracking systems to gaseous detectors or calorimeters, with each fulfilling a specific function to help identifying and tracking particles emerging from the collision region. This talk will present the various detectors found inside a high energy...
X-ray optics are used at synchrotron radiation (SR) sources to tailor the X-ray beam characteristics to the needs of the experiment. Such optics may modify the transmitted X-ray spectrum, beam size and divergence, coherence and polarisation. Due to the diversity of experimental techniques implemented in typical light sources, the optical design is usually specific to each beamline and can draw...
Neutron optics is a key component in neutron scattering experiments. They play the role of defining beam conditions, i.e. direction, divergence, energy and polarisation Since the flux of neutrons is low, optical components have to be highly efficient. Properly designed, they can enhance the power of the source by 10 times, or even more. We give an overview of commonly used neutron optical...
