Bakelite RPCs for Digital Hadron Calorimeter
This paper presents the test results of Bakelite RPCs using readout pads with an area of 1 cm×1 cm and 1-bit resolution per pad (binary readout). The results include noise rate, detection efficiency and pad multiplicity as well as comparisons of different surface treatments for Bakelite plates. Pad multiplicity’s dependence on surface resistivity at the readout side is also reported. This study shows Bakelite RPCs can be used as the active elements of digital hadron calorimeter.

title: Inclusive J production in Z0 decays
abstract: Inclusive J production in Z0 decays is observed via the leptonic decay mode J → l+l− (l = e,μ). We measure the branching ratio Br(Z0 → J + X) = (4.1 ± 0.7 (stat.) ± 0.3 (sys.)) × 10−3. We have calculated the fraction of the J mesons from b-hadron decay and find a branching ratio of Br(b → J + X)= (1.3±0.2(stat.)±0.2(sys.)) × 10−2. We determine the average fractional energy of bottom hadrons 〈XE > = 0.70±0.03 (stat.)+0.02−0.01 (sys.) using the momentum spectrum of the J mesons. From a study of the angle between the J and the most energetic jet, we set an upper limit on the branching ratio Br ( Z 0 → q q g ∗ ; g ∗ → J + X ) −4 at 90% confidence level.

title: The mass production and quality control of RPCs for the Daya Bay experiment
abstract: Resistive plate chambers will be used in the Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment to help veto backgrounds created by cosmic-ray muons. The mass production of RPCs began in 2008 and by the end of 2009, 1600 RPCs (3500 m 2 ) had been produced and tested. This paper describes the production and quality control procedures, and quality assurance using cosmic-ray testing.

title: A water Cherenkov calorimeter for long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments
abstract: We propose a water-based large homogeneous calorimeter as the next generation neutrino detector for ν factories and/or conventional ν beams. The Cherenkov light produced in water is sufficient to have good energy resolution, and the pattern recognition is realized by a modular water tank structure. Monte Carlo simulations show that the detector performance is excellent for identifying neutrino CC events while rejecting backgrounds.

title: Physics of tau and charm
abstract: The physics of tau and charm started in early 70's after J/$\psi$ and $\tau$ were discovered. Since then several dedicated accelerators and experiments were built with increasing luminosities and studies on light hadron spectroscopy, charmonium, electroweak and QCD were never interupted. New interests and surprises are not rare in this area. With the newly built BEPCII/BESIII, an even brighter future is foreseen.

title: CHINESE STAR-TOF MRPC PRODUCTION AND QA TESTING
abstract: Multi-gap resistive plate camber (MRPC) has been demonstrated to have good time resolution (less than 100 ps), high detection efficiency (higher than 95%) and will be used to construct a full barrel time-of-flight (TOF) detector for the STAR experiment at RHIC. The cylindrical TOF covers a total area of approximately 64 m2 and about 4000 MRPC modules will be produced. Tsinghua University and University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) are responsible for the STAR MRPC production. In this paper we will describe the Tsinghua and USTC MRPC production facilities. Our MRPC manufacture procedures, detector assembly and testing results are also presented.

title: First-order attractor flow equations for supersymmetric black rings in N = 2, D = 5 supergravity
abstract: In this paper we investigate the attractor mechanism in the five dimensional low energy supergravity theory corresponding to M-theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau threefold CY3. Using very special geometry, we derive the general first-order attractor flow equations for BPS and non-BPS solutions in five-dimensional Gibbons-Hawking spaces. Especially, considering the supersymmetric solution, we obtain the first-order flow equations for supersymmetric (multi)black rings. We also solve the flow equations and discuss some properties of the solutions of flow equations.

title: Crosstalk research of long strip timing RPC
abstract: The time-of-flight (TOF) wall of CBM is proposed to be assembled with MRPCs. In a relative high particle multiplicity situation (about 20kHz/cm2), multi-hit capability is one of the most demanding requirement of the detector. Crosstalk is an important reason for the deterioration the multi-hit capability of a detector. To reduce the crosstalk level, a kind of shielded long-strip two-end readout MRPC was developed. 1mm width guard strips were added between strips of a 1m-long MRPC. Beam test with 2.5GeV protons was performed in GSI in August, 2009. Horizontal and vertical scans were done. Combined with data from silicon detector, we get the crosstalk between four neighbor strips. The results show that the crosstalk level can be reduced and double hits can affect the time resolution. It also shows that the crosstalk increase with high voltage and decrease with surface resistivity of electrode.

title: Implementation and performance of parallelized elegant
abstract: The program elegant is widely used for design and modeling of linacs for free-electron lasers and energy recovery linacs, as well as storage rings and other applications. As part of a multi-year effort, we have parallelized many aspects of the code, including single-particle dynamics, wakefields, and coherent synchrotron radiation. We report on the approach used for gradual parallelization, which proved very beneficial in getting parallel features into the hands of users quickly. We also report details of parallelization of collective effects. Finally, we discuss performance of the parallelized code in various applications.
