A first alignment of the LHCb Vertex Locator has been obtained from beam induced tracks at the LHC. A 450 GeV/c protons were collided on a beam absorber during the LHC synchronisation tests of the anti-clockwise beam in August and September 2008. The resul ...
An optimized capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detector for microchip electophoresis is presented. The detector consists of a pair of top bottom excitation electrodes and a pair of pickup electrodes disposed onto a very thin plastic microfluidi ...
The subject of this work is focused on characterization of the microstructures and orientations of SiC crystals synthesized in diamond–SiC–Si composites using reactive microwave sintering. The SiC crystals grown on the surfaces of diamonds have either shap ...
Experiments were performed at the CERN SPS with 120 GeV/c stored proton beams to assess the possibility of beam halo collimation assisted by bent crystals. A bent crystal was used to deflect horizontally by an angle of about 170 mu rad the beam halo proton ...
A new learning strategy for object detection is presented. The proposed scheme forgoes the need to train a collection of detectors dedicated to homogeneous families of poses, and instead learns a single classifier that has the inherent ability to deform ba ...

Inverter dead-time effects have been investigated in detail in the past for three-phase drives supplied from a three-phase voltage source inverter (VSI). A similar study has never been conducted in conjunction with multi-phase (more than three phases) driv ...
The Vertex Locator of the LHCb experiment has been used to fully reconstruct beam induced tracks at the LHC. A beam of protons was collided with a beam absorber during the LHC synchronisation test of the anti-clockwise beam on the weekend 22nd-24th August ...
Experimental and simulation results of an electron gun test facility, based on pulsed diode acceleration followed by a two-cell rf cavity at 1.5 GHz, are presented here. The main features of this diode-rf combination are: a high peak gradient in the diode ...
The progress in novel light sources, detectors, materials and technology enable new opportunities and challenges for diffractive optics and nanoscale photonics. Important are also analysis tools, such as near-field imaging (SNOM). Only structures that can ...
The parallel nanowire detector (PND) is a photon number resolving (PNR) detector that uses spatial multiplexing on a subwavelength scale to provide a single electrical output proportional to the photon number. The basic structure of the PND is the parallel ...
