In this paper we describe the realization and performances of an high granularity calorimeter. The calorimeter is a spaghetti like calorimeter built with lead and scintillating fibers. The lead foils are 0.5 mm thick shaped with grooves to accommodate the scintillating fibers. A single prototype has been built. The read-out is through photomultipliers (pmts) located on both sides of the module with a 4.2x4.2 cm2 granularity per single pmt. One side of the calorimeter has been equipped with the new R8900 Hamamatsu pmts with 16 anodes. On this side the light has been driven using mini light guides from the calorimeter surface to the multi anode surface. On the opposite side a read-out based on standard single anode pmts and light guides has been implemented. The signal from the pmts has been amplified and split. The split signal has been delivered to analog digital converters and to a discrimination system followed by the time to digital converters to record the time of the charge deposition. A dedicated electronic was also built to use the split signal in order to assert a trigger signal. In this paper we describe the calorimeter construction and show cosmic ray and test beam results.

ASTM E1303-95 - Practice for Refractive Index Detectors Used in Liquid Chromatography
Urban intersection traffic signal control based on fuzzy logic
This paper presents a fuzzy logic adaptive traffic signal control method for an isolated four-approach intersection with through and left-turning movements. In the proposed method, the fuzzy logic controller can make adjustments to signal timing in response to observed changes. The "urgency d...
An information theory approach to the data compression and imaging system for synthetic aperture radar (SAR)
March 1, 1995 - China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC)
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is portrayed as a multiple access channel. An information theory approach is applied to the SAR imaging system, and the information content about a target that can be extracted from its radar image is evaluated by the average mutual information measure. A conditional (...
Traffic control strategy for a surface street on an expressway-arterial corridor
December 1, 2009 - Tsinghua University Press Ltd.
Off-ramp area congestion and off-ramp queue spill over are wide-spread reasons for expressway traffic jams in China. A control strategy was developed to reduce the number of collisions between expressway and surface street vehicles and to reduce spill over by controlling the surface street vehicles ...
