Two widely used methods of determining the etch-rate ratio in poly-ethylene terephthalate (PET) nuclear track detector are compared. Their application in different regimes of ion$textquoteright$s energy loss is investigated. A new calibration curve for PET is also presented.

The possibility to build a SiPM-readout muon detector (SiRO), using plastic scintillators with optical fibers as sensitive volume and readout by SiPM photo-diodes, is investigated. SiRO shall be used for tracking cosmic muons based on amplitude discr
imination. The detector concept foresees a stack of 6 active layers, grouped in 3 sandwiches for determining the muon trajectories through 3 planes. After investigating the characteristics of the photodiodes, tests have been performed using two detection modules, each being composed from a plastic scintillator sheet, $100 times 25 times 1,$cm$^{3}$, with 12 parallel, equidistant ditches; each ditch filled with an optical fiber of $1.5,$mm thickness and always two fibers connected to form a channel. The attenuation of the light response along the optical fiber and across the channels have been tested. The measurements of the incident muons based on the input amplitude discrimination indicate that this procedure is not efficient and therefore not sufficient, as only about 30% of the measured events could be used in the reconstruction of the muon trajectories. Based on the studies presented in this paper, the layout used for building the SiRO detector will be changed as well as the analog acquisition technique will be replaced by a digital one.
The Fast Tracker (FTK) is a proposed upgrade to the ATLAS trigger system that will operate at full Level-1 output rates and provide high quality tracks reconstructed over the entire detector by the start of processing in Level-2. FTK solves the combi
natorial challenge inherent to tracking by exploiting the massive parallelism of Associative Memories (AM) that can compare inner detector hits to millions of pre-calculated patterns simultaneously. The tracking problem within matched patterns is further simplified by using pre-computed linearized fitting constants and leveraging fast DSPs in modern commercial FPGAs. Overall, FTK is able to compute the helix parameters for all tracks in an event and apply quality cuts in approximately one millisecond. By employing a pipelined architecture, FTK is able to continuously operate at Level-1 rates without deadtime. The system design is defined and studied using ATLAS full simulation. Reconstruction quality is evaluated for single muon events with zero pileup, as well as WH events at the LHC design luminosity. FTK results are compared with the tracking capability of an offline algorithm.
The nuclear track detector CR39 was calibrated with different ions of different energies. Due to the low detection threshold (Z/beta~6e) and the good charge resolution (sigma_Z ~ 0.2e for 6e < Z/beta <83e with 2 measurements), the detector was used f
or different purposes: (i) fragmentation of high and medium energy ions; (ii) search for magnetic monopoles, nuclearites, strangelets and Q-balls in the cosmic radiation.
Gamma sources are routinely used to calibrate the energy scale and resolution of liquid scintillator detectors. However, non-scintillating material surrounding the source introduces energy losses, which may bias the determination of the centroid and
width of the full absorption peak. In this paper, we present a general method to determine the true gamma centroid and width to a relative precision of 0.03% and 0.50%, respectively, using energy losses predicted by the Monte Carlo simulation. In particular, the accuracy of the assumed source geometry is readily obtained from the fit. The method performs well with experimental data in the Daya Bay detector.
A Kalman filter package has been developed for reconstructing muon ($mu^pm$) tracks (coming from the neutrino interactions) in ICAL detector. Here, we describe the algorithm of muon track fitting, with emphasis on the error propagation of the element
s of Kalman state vector along the muon trajectory through dense materials and inhomogeneous magnetic field. The higher order correction terms are included for reconstructing muon tracks at large zenith angle $theta$ (measured from the perpendicular to the detector planes). The performances of this algorithm and its limitations are discussed.
