An imaging system for measuring the spatial distribtion of charged particle tracks in a low-pressure gas is presented. The method is based on an optically read out time projection chamber. Results of experiments with fast heavy ions are…
The Multigap Resistive Plate Chamber (MRPC) is a gaseous detector; the performance depends very much on the gas mixture as well as the design. MRPCs are used as a timing device in several collider experiments and cosmic ray experiments…
Whispering gallery mode (WGM) microcavities feature ultrahigh Q-factors and small mode volumes, offering strong light-matter interactions for sensing applications. However, unmodified surfaces are weakly responsive togas-phase refractive…
Muography is an investigation technique based on the detection of the atmospheric muon flux' modification through matter. It has found lately multiple applications in geosciences, archaelogy, and non invasive industrial controls. Mostly…
Resistive Plate Counters (RPC) detectors at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments use gas recirculation systems to cope with large gas mixture volumes and costs. In this paper a long-term systematic study about gas purifiers, gas…
Model predictive control of residential air conditioning could reduce energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining or improving occupants' thermal comfort. However, most approaches to predictive air conditioning control…
A large area (128 m^2) Muon Tracking Detector (MTD), located within the KASCADE experiment, has been built with the aim to identify muons (E_mu > 0.8 GeV) and their directions in extensive air showers by track measurements under more than…

The measurement of acetone in human breath, a known biomarker for diabetes, can act as an effective screening method for diabetes. While gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy based methods can detect gases in low concentration, they are…
Cosmic ray muons have been considered as a non-conventional radiation probe in various applications. To utilize cosmic ray muons in engineering applications, two important quantities, trajectory and momentum, must be known. The muon…
We present a measurement of the ratio of positive to negative muon fluxes from cosmic ray interactions in the atmosphere, using data collected by the CMS detector both at ground level and in the underground experimental cavern at the CERN…
In experiments searching for rare signals, background events from the detector itself are some of the major factors limiting search sensitivity.Screening for ultra-low radioactive detector materials is becoming ever more essential. We…
A numerical study of normal glow discharge properties was performed in the case of small electrodes separations (0.05-0.4 cm) and moderate gas pressures (10-46 Torr). A recently observed new experimental effect of a considerable reduction…
