TL;DR: The modulated adiabatic scanning calorimeter (MASC) described in this paper is designed to work in both the time domain (adiabatic-like step-scanning) and in the frequency domain (modulated temperature/power scanning) operational modes.

25 Feb 1977TL;DR: In this article, a heat flow type differential calorimeter uses a planar thermoelectric disc as its major heat flow path for transferring heat to the sample and reference capsules.
Abstract: A heat flow type differential calorimeter uses a planar thermoelectric disc as its major heat flow path for transferring heat to the sample and reference capsules. To improve the reproducibility of the calorimeter, two small discs of a thermoelectric material capable of forming a thermocouple with the thermoelectric disc are attached thereto in face-to-face relationship. Next a thermocouple pair made of the same material as the small disc and a third material, capable of forming a thermocouple with the disc, is attached to the center of each of the small discs. This converts the usual point contact temperature sensor to a large surface area temperature sensor and hence improves the reproducibility of the thermal analyzer.

TL;DR: In this article, a prototype silicon-tungsten electromagnetic calorimeter for an ILC detector was tested in 2007 at the CERN SPS test beam, where data were collected with electron and hadron beams in the energy range 8 to 80 GeV.
Abstract: A prototype silicon-tungsten electromagnetic calorimeter for an ILC detector was tested in 2007 at the CERN SPS test beam. Data were collected with electron and hadron beams in the energy range 8 to 80 GeV. The analysis described here focuses on the interactions of pions in the calorimeter. One of the main objectives of the CALICE program is to validate the Monte Carlo tools available for the design of a full-sized detector. The interactions of pions in the Si-W calorimeter are therefore confronted with the predictions of various physical models implemented in the GEANT4 simulation framework.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe radiation-tolerant designs, radiation testing, and radiation qualification of the front-end readout system for the ATLAS liquid argon calorimeters.
Abstract: The ATLAS detector has been built to study the reactions produced by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). ATLAS includes a system of liquid argon calorimeters for energy measurements. The electronics for amplifying, shaping, sampling, pipelining, and digitizing the calorimeter signals is implemented on a set of front-end electronic boards. The front-end boards are installed in crates mounted between the calorimeters, where they will be subjected to significant levels of radiation during LHC operation. As a result, all components used on the front-end boards had to be subjected to an extensive set of radiation qualification tests. This paper describes radiation-tolerant designs, radiation testing, and radiation qualification of the front-end readout system for the ATLAS liquid argon calorimeters.
