Context: Test smells are symptoms of sub-optimal design choices adopted when developing test cases. Previous studies have proved their harmfulness for test code maintainability and effectiveness. Therefore, researchers have been proposing…
This paper will argue for continued effort in developing imaging calorimeters for future colliders and/or upgrades to existing detectors. Imaging calorimeters offer a plethora of advantages beyond their application in conjunction with…
We report the result of a search for the decay $B^{-}\to\mu^{-}\bar\nu_\mu$. The signal events are selected based on the presence of a high momentum muon and the topology of the rest of the event showing properties of a generic $B$-meson…
Machine learning has become a popular instrument for the identification of dark matter candidates at particle collider experiments. They enable the processing of large datasets and are therefore suitable to operate directly on raw data…
Model-Based Diagnosis deals with the identification of the real cause of a system's malfunction based on a formal system model and observations of the system behavior. When a malfunction is detected, there is usually not enough information…
The AMS-02 experiment plans to install a new silicon microstrip tracker layer (Layer-0) on top of the existing detector, increasing the cosmic-ray acceptance by a factor of 3. Layer-0 employs a design in which multiple silicon microstrip…
A significant upgrade of the LHCb detector is scheduled to be installed in 2018-2019. Afterwards all sub-detectors will be read out at the LHC bunch crossing frequency of 40 MHz and the trigger will be fully implemented in software. The…
There has been an increasing interest in the monitoring of nuclear fuel for power reactors by detecting the anti-neutrinos produced during operation. Small liquid scintillator detectors have already demonstrated sensitivity to operational…
This note gives a conceptual description and illustration of the CLD detector, based on the work for a detector at CLIC. CLD is one of the detectors envisaged at a future 100 km $e^+e^-$ circular collider (FCC-ee). The note also contains a…
The precise measurement of the CKM angle $\phi_3$ is important to further test the Standard Model description of $CP$ violation. The small values of the branching fractions of the decays involved in the measurement limits the precision,…
This paper presents a novel sparse signal detection scheme designed for a correlated Markovian Bernoulli-Gaussian sparse signal model, which can equivalently be viewed as a block sparse signal model. Despite the inherent complexity of the…
Certain radiation detectors are 'paralyzed' with high input count rates. When applied to count rates close to the event discriminator working rate the one-parameter dead time model fails. Here we present a corrected paralyzable detector…
Consider an experiment, where a new drug is tested for the first time on human subjects - healthy volunteers. Such experiments are often performed as dose-escalation studies: a set of increasing doses is pre-selected, individuals are…
In this study, we demonstrate a sequential experimental design for spectral measurements by active learning using parametric models as predictors. In spectral measurements, it is necessary to reduce the measurement time because of sample…
We present a search for the rare decay B0 -> K*0 nu nubar, using a data sample of 492 fb^-1 collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider. Signal candidates are required to have an accompanying B meson fully reconstructed in…
A thick gas electron multiplier is considered for radiation-hard detectors (hadron calorimeter). There was carried out technological and design study to optimize the element structure. The measurements results and the next plans are…
In optical metrology, grating-like structures are used as tools to evaluate the performance of lithographic techniques. In particular, several shape parameters characterize those structures. One of them, termed side-wall angle, suffers from…
In this article, we share our experience related to the new photo-injector commissioning at the SPARC\_LAB test facility. The new photo-injector was installed into an existing machine and our goal was not only to improve the final beam…
We present a study of a singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay $\Lambda_c^+\to{}pK_S^0K_S^0$ and a Cabibbo-favored decay $\Lambda_c^+\to{}pK_S^0\eta$ based on 980 $\rm fb^{-1}$ of data collected by the Belle detector, operating at the KEKB…
The large data sample recorded with the Belle detector at the {\Upsilon}(5S) energy provides a unique opportunity to study the poorly-known Bs meson. Several analyses, made with a data sample representing an integrated luminosity of 23.6…
