In dieser Arbeit wurde die Leistungsfähigkeit des neuen Inner Tracking System (ITS) in Bezug auf die Messung von Spektren der invarianten Masse von Dielektronpaaren im Rahmen des ALICE Experiments am LHC ausgewertet. Zu Beginn der Planungen zum zukünftigen ITS wurden zwei verschiedene Designmöglichkeiten in Betracht gezogen: Auf der einen Seite ein ITS, welches die Möglichkeit zur Teilchenidentifizierung mittels spezifischem Energieverlust pro Wegstrecke bietet und auf der anderen Seite ein ITS welches diese Möglichkeiten nicht hat. Es wurde untersucht, ob es zukünftig möglich sein wird aus der Steigung des Spektrums der invarianten Masse von Dileptonen zwischen 1,1 GeV/c2 < Mee < 2,0 GeV/c2 direkt die Temperatur des Quark-Gluon-Plasmas zu extrahieren. Weiterhin wurde geprüft welches der beiden Systeme diese Aufgabe besser erfüllt.
Das neue ITS bietet gegenüber dem alten ITS Vorteile, die in dieser Analyse genutzt wurden. Zuerst, siehe Abschnitt 3.4, wurde ein zweidimensionaler Schnitt auf den Öffnungswinkel und die invariante Masse angewandt um Elektronen und Positronen aus Dalitzzerfällen und Photonkonversionen zu identifizieren und für die folgende Analyse zu verwerfen. Hierzu wurde die verbesserte Spurfindungseffizienz hin zu kleinen Transversalimpulsen ausgenutzt, um die Anzahl an zu kombinierenden Teilchen und damit die Wahrscheinlichkeit richtige Paare zu finden, zu erhöhen. Allerdings können Teilchen, welche nur im ITS nachgewiesen werden können, nicht zweifelsfrei (ITSPID), beziehungsweise gar nicht (ITSnoPID) identifiziert werden. Die Simulationen ergeben, dass ein zukünftiges ITS mit der Möglichkeit zur Teilchenidentifizierung leicht bessere Werte in der Signifikanz und im Verhältnis von Signal zu Untergrund liefern kann.
Die verbesserte Vertexfindung wird zur Reduktion des Beitrags durch Elektronen und Positronen aus semileptonisch zerfallenden D-Mesonen (Abschnitt 3.4.4) ausgenutzt.
Die Elektronen und Positronen, welche nach den Schnitten in der Stichprobe blieben, wurden verwendet um den Untergrund zu simulieren (Abschnitt 3.4.5). Daraufhin wurde die Signifikanz und das Verhältnis von Signal zu Untergrund berechnet. Mit diesen Informationen (Abschnitt 3.5.3) wurde ein Spektrum der invarianten Masse von Dileptonen mit der zu erwartenden Anzahl von 2,5 · 109 zentralen Blei-Blei-Kollisionen erzeugt. Dies führt zu den in Abschnitt 3.5.4 gezeigten Spektren. Nach Abzug der Beiträge durch die semileptonischen D-Meson Zerfälle und durch den hadronischen Cocktail ist noch der zu erwartende Beitrag durch die thermische Strahlung (Abschnitt 1.5) im Spektrum vorhanden. Eine Parametrisierung dieser Kurve ergibt die Temperatur des Quark-Gluon-Plasmas.
Der Unterschied der ermittelten Messwerte der Temperatur zwischen dem zukünftigen ITS mit Teilchenidentifizierung und ohne ist gering (Abschnitt 3.5.5). Die Messung ergibt keine signifikanten Unterschiede zwischen beiden ITS Entwürfen. Aufgrund dieses Ergebnisses kann man sagen, dass für die Messung von Dileptonen im Niedrigmassenbereich keine ITS PID notwendig ist. In den mittlerweile veröffentlichten ITS Technical Design Report sind die Ergebnisse dieser Studie eingeflossen. Es wurde beschlossen, dass der ITSnoPID umgesetzt wird.
Da in der Run 3 Periode des CERN LHC die Kollisionsrate auf 50 kHz erhöht werden soll, muss die ALICE TPC umgebaut werden. Die Vieldrahtproportionalkammern mit Sperrgitter sollen gegen eine GEM-basierte Auslese ausgetauscht werden, um eine kontinuierliche Auslese zu ermöglichen.
Es wurde eine GEM-Testkammer, die mit drei und vier GEM-Folien betrieben werden kann, entwickelt und gebaut. GEM-Folien wurden unter dem Mikroskop auf Fehler untersucht und auf ihre Spannungsfestigkeit hin getestet sowie gerahmt und in die Kammer eingesetzt. Mit der fertigen kleinen TPC mit GEM-basierter Auslese wurden IBF und Energieauflösung gemessen. Ziel der Messungen war es, einen möglichst geringen IBF von unter 1 % zu erhalten, um so wenig wie möglich Feldverzerrungen im Driftvolumen der TPC zu erhalten, bei gleichzeitig guter Energieauflösung von mindestens 12 %, um eine gute Teilchenidentifikation in der TPC sicherzustellen.
Da standard GEM-Konfigurationen mit nur drei GEM-Folien zwar eine gute Energieauflösung, jedoch zu viel IBF aufweisen, wurden die Messungen hauptsächlich mit vier GEM-Folien durchgeführt. Es wurden zwei verschiedene Arten von GEM-Folien verwendet, Standard (S) und Large-Pitch (LP) GEM-Folien, die bei einem Großteil der Messungen in der S-LP-LP-S-Konfiguration angeordnet waren.
Es wurde festgestellt, dass sich IBF und Energieauflösung gegenläufig verhalten, bei besser werdendem IBF also die Energieauflösung schlechter wird und umgekehrt.
Es wurden zwei verschiedene Gasmischungen, Ne-CO2-N2 (90-10-5) und Ar-CO2 (90-10), untersucht. Mit Neon wurde bei einem Gain von 2000 gemessen, mit Argon nur bei einem Gain von 1000, da bei Argon die Anzahl der produzierten Elektronen pro cm etwa doppelt so groß ist.
Der IBF war mit beiden Gasmischungen etwa gleich groß. Die Energieauflösung war mit Argon jedoch aufgrund des niedrigeren Gains erheblich schlechter. Mit Ne-CO2-N2 (90-10-5) gelang es, einen Arbeitspunkt mit einer Energieauflösung von etwa 12 % und einem IBF von unter 1 % zu finden, mit Ar-CO2 (90-10) war dies jedoch nicht der Fall.
In dieser Arbeit wurden die ersten Schritte unternommen um Elektronen aus den Zerfällen schwerer Quarks zu messen. Im Folgenden wird zunächst ein Überblick zum physikalische Hintergrund gegeben und der elliptische Fluss als Sonde zur Untersuchung des QGP motiviert. Anschließend werden der LHC und ALICE näher beleuchtet und die einzelnen Detektorsysteme, die für diese Analyse wichtig sind, vorgestellt. Im weiteren wird eine Methode zur Identifizierung von Elektronen vorgestellt und die Kontamination des Elektronensignals durch Hadronen bestimmt. Abschließend wird der elliptische Fluss eines von Hadronen bereinigten Inklusiv-Elektronen Spektrums bestimmt und ein Ausblick auf weitere Analyseschritte gegeben.
We have studied one-proton-removal reactions of about 500MeV/u 17Ne beams on a carbon target at the R3B/LAND setup at GSI by detecting beam-like 15O-p and determining their relative-energy distribution. We exclusively selected the removal of a 17Ne halo proton, and the Glauber-model analysis of the 16F momentum distribution resulted in an s2 contribution in the 17Ne ground state of about 40%.
Generating functionals may guide the evolution of a dynamical system and constitute a possible route for handling the complexity of neural networks as relevant for computational intelligence.We propose and explore a new objective function, which allows to obtain plasticity rules for the afferent synaptic weights. The adaption rules are Hebbian, self-limiting, and result from the minimization of the Fisher information with respect to the synaptic flux. We perform a series of simulations examining the behavior of the new learning rules in various circumstances.The vector of synaptic weights aligns with the principal direction of input activities, whenever one is present. A linear discrimination is performed when there are two or more principal directions; directions having bimodal firing-rate distributions, being characterized by a negative excess kurtosis, are preferred. We find robust performance and full homeostatic adaption of the synaptic weights results as a by-product of the synaptic flux minimization. This self-limiting behavior allows for stable online learning for arbitrary durations.The neuron acquires new information when the statistics of input activities is changed at a certain point of the simulation, showing however, a distinct resilience to unlearn previously acquired knowledge. Learning is fast when starting with randomly drawn synaptic weights and substantially slower when the synaptic weights are already fully adapted.
Construction and commissioning of a setup to study ageing phenomena in high rate gas detectors
(2014)
In high-rate heavy-ion experiments, gaseous detectors encounter big challenges in terms of degradation of their performance due to a phenomenon dubbed ageing. In this thesis, a setup for high precision ageing studies has been constructed and commissioned at the GSI detector laboratory. The main objective is the study of ageing phenomena evoked by materials used to build gaseous detectors for the Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR).
The precision of the measurement, e.g., of the gain of a gaseous detector, is a key element in ageing studies: it allows to perform the measurement at realistic rates in an acceptable time span. It is well known the accelerating ageing employing high intensity sources might produce misleading results. The primary objective is to build an apparatus which allows very accurate measurements and is thus sensitive to minute degradations in detector performance. The construction and commissioning of the
setup has been carried out in two steps. During the first step of this work, a simpler setup which already existed in the detector laboratory of GSI had been utilised to define all conditions related to ageing studies. The outcome of these studies defined the properties and characteristics that must be met to build and operate a new, sophisticated and precise setup. The already existing setup consisted of two identical Multi Wire Proportional Chambers (MWPCs), a gas mixing station, an 55Fe source, an x-ray generator, an outgassing box and stainless steel tubing. In a first step, the gain and electric field configuration of the MWPCs were simulated by a combination of a gas simulation (Magboltz) and electric field simulation program (Garfield). The performance and operating conditions of the chambers have been thoroughly characterised before utilising them in first preparatory ageing test. The main diagnostic parameter in ageing studies is the detector gain, thus it is mandatory for precise ageing studies to minimise the systematic and statistical variation of the pressure and temperature corrected gain. To achieve the required accuracy, several improvements of the chamber design and the gas system have been implemented. In addition, the temperature measurement has been optimised. During the preparatory tests, several ageing studies have been carried out. The ageing effect of seven materials and gases have been carried out during these tests: RTV-3145, Ar/CO2 gas, Durostone flushed with Ar/Isobutane gas, Vetronit G11, Vetronit G11 contaminated with Micro 3000 and Gerband 705. The results of these studies went into the design of the new sophisticated ageing setup. For example some tests revealed that there was, even after cleaning, a certain level of contamination with "ageing agents" in the existing setup, which made it imperative to ensure a very high level cleanness of all components during the construction of the setup. The curing period of some testing samples like glues or the gas flow rate were found to be very important factors that must be taken into account to obtain comparable results. Very important changes in the chamber design have been made, i.e., the aluminium-Kapton cathodes used in MWPCs have been replaced with multi-wire planes and the fibreglass housing of the chamber has been changed to metal. The second step started with building the new setup which was designed based on the findings from the first step. The new ageing setup consists of three MWPCs, two moving platforms, an 55Fe source, a copper-anode x-ray generator, two outgassing boxes, both flexible and rigid stainless steel tubes. Before fabrication of the chambers, simulations of their electric field and the gain have been done using Magboltz and Garfield programs. After that, the chambers were installed and tested. A 0.3% peak-to-peak residual variation of the corrected gain has been achieved. Finally, the complete setup has been operated with full functionality in no-ageing conditions during one week. This test revealed very stable gain in all three chambers. After that two materials (Gerban 705 and RTV-3145) have been inserted in the two outgassing boxes and tested. They revealed an ageing rate of about 0.3%/mC/cm and 3%/mC/cm respectively. The final test proves the stability and accuracy of the ageing measurements carried out with the ageing setup at the detector laboratory at GSI which is ready to conduct the envisaged systematic ageing studies.
The nature of spontaneous brain activity during wakefulness and sleep: a complex systems approach
(2014)
In this thesis we study the organization of spontaneous brain activity during wakefulness and all stages of human non-rapid eye movement sleep using an approach based on developments and tools from the theory of complex systems. After a brief introduction to sleep physiology and different theoretical models of consciousness, we study how the organization of cortical and sub-cortical interactions is modified during the sleep cycle. Our results, obtained by modeling global brain activity as a complex functional interaction network, show that the capacity of the human brain to integrate different segregated functional modules is diminished during deep sleep, in line with an informationintegration account of consciousness. We then show that integration is impaired not only across space but also in the temporal domain, by assesing the emergence of long-range temporal correlations in brain activity and how they are modified during sleep. We propose an encompassing explanation for this observation, namely, that the brain operatsat different dynamical regimes during different states of consciousness. Finally, we gather massive amounts of data from different collaborative projects and apply machine learning techniques to reveal that the \resting state" cannot be considered as a pure brain state and is in fact a mixture containing different levels of conscious awareness. This last result has deep implications for future attempts to develop a discovery science of brain function both in health and disease.
The subject of this thesis is the experimental investigation of the neutron-capture cross sections of the neutron-rich, short-lived boron isotopes 13B and 14B, as they are thought to influence the rapid neutron-capture process (r process) nucleosynthesis in a neutrino-driven wind scenario.
The 13;14B(n,g)14;15B reactions were studied in inverse kinematics via Coulomb dissociation at the LAND/R3B setup (Reactions with Relativistic Radioactive Beams). A radioactive beam of 14;15B was produced via in-flight fragmentation and directed onto a lead-target at about 500 AMeV. The neutron breakup of the projectile within the electromagnetic field of the target nucleus was investigated in a kinematically complete measurement. All outgoing reaction products were detected and analyzed in order to reconstruct the excitation energy.
The differential Coulomb dissociation cross sections as a function of the excitation energy were obtained and first experimental constraints on the photoabsorption and the neutron-capture cross sections were deduced. The results were compared to theoretical approximations of the cross sections in question. The Coulomb dissociation cross section of 15B into 14B(g.s.) + n was determined to be s(15B;14B(g:s:)+n) CD = 81(8stat)(10syst) mb ; while the Coulomb dissociation cross section of 14B into a neutron and 13B in its ground state was found to be s(14B;13B(g:s:)+n) CD = 281(25stat)(43syst) mb: Furthermore, new information on the nuclear structure of 14B were achieved, as the spectral shape of the differential Coulomb dissociation cross section indicates a halolike structure of the nucleus.
Additionally, the Coulomb dissociation of 11Be was investigated and compared to previous measurements in order to verify the present analysis. The corresponding Coulomb dissociation cross section of 11Be into 10Be(g.s.) + n was found to be 450(40stat)(54syst ) mb, which is in good agreement with the results of Palit et al.
Experiments for p-process nucleosynthesis with special focus on the most abundant p nucleus 92Mo
(2014)
This thesis describes experimental investigations and astrophysical network calculations relevant for the nucleosynthesis of the p nuclei. These 35 proton-rich isotopes cannot be produced by neutron-capture reactions which is the general production mechanism for elements heavier than iron in the r and s processes. Therefore, other mechanisms like photo-disintegration reactions on heavy seed nuclei (γ process) or proton-capture reactions are taken into account.
The modelling of these processes relies on a hugh amount of reactions which mostly occur for unstable isotopes. This demands, in combination with the contribution of excited states to the stellar rate, the prediction of the rates by a suited theoretical approach: the Hauser-Feshbach statistical model. To improve the reliability of the predictions, systematic experimental investigations are performed within this work for the nuclear input to the calculations. The study of charged-particle optical model potentials using the activation approach for the investigation of (α,n) and (p,n) reactions is described as well as the investigation of (γ,n) reactions in a broad mass range of 140 ≤ A ≤ 210.
However, there are also key reactions which are of special interest for the nucleosynthesis of individual p nuclei. An impressive example is the puzzle about the production of the most abundant p nucleus 92Mo. Within this work, the results of an experiment using high-resolution in-beam γ-spectroscopy for the study of the 90Zr(p,γ) reaction are summarized. In addition, the efforts to investigate the 91Nb(p,γ) reaction in standard kinematics by the production of target of the unstable isotope 91Nb to be used with the high-intensity proton-beam provided by the accelerator of FRANZ, Frankfurt, are discussed.
Finally, the influence of experimental results in astrophysical network calculations is discussed using post-processing nucleosynthesis methods for the γ process in type II supernovae.
Oscillations play a critical role in cognitive phenomena and have been observed in many brain regions. Experimental evidence indicates that classes of neurons exhibit properties that could promote oscillations, such as subthreshold resonance and electrical gap junctions. Typically, these two properties are studied separately but it is not clear which is the dominant determinant of global network rhythms. Our aim is to provide an analytical understanding of how these two effects destabilize the fluctuation-driven state, in which neurons fire irregularly, and lead to an emergence of global synchronous oscillations. Here we show how the oscillation frequency is shaped by single neuron resonance, electrical and chemical synapses.The presence of both gap junctions and subthreshold resonance are necessary for the emergence of oscillations. Our results are in agreement with several experimental observations such as network responses to oscillatory inputs and offer a much-needed conceptual link connecting a collection of disparate effects observed in networks.
A measurement of the transverse momentum spectra of jets in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN−−−√=2.76 TeV is reported. Jets are reconstructed from charged particles using the anti-kT jet algorithm with jet resolution parameters R of 0.2 and 0.3 in pseudo-rapidity |η|<0.5. The transverse momentum pT of charged particles is measured down to 0.15 GeV/c which gives access to the low pT fragments of the jet. Jets found in heavy-ion collisions are corrected event-by-event for average background density and on an inclusive basis (via unfolding) for residual background fluctuations and detector effects. A strong suppression of jet production in central events with respect to peripheral events is observed. The suppression is found to be similar to the suppression of charged hadrons, which suggests that substantial energy is radiated at angles larger than the jet resolution parameter R=0.3 considered in the analysis. The fragmentation bias introduced by selecting jets with a high pT leading particle, which rejects jets with a soft fragmentation pattern, has a similar effect on the jet yield for central and peripheral events. The ratio of jet spectra with R=0.2 and R=0.3 is found to be similar in Pb-Pb and simulated PYTHIA pp events, indicating no strong broadening of the radial jet structure in the reconstructed jets with R<0.3.
Within the nucleosynthetic processes of the slow neutron-capture reaction network (called the s process) the so called branching points, unstable isotopes where different nuclear reactions are competing, are important to understand . For modeling and calculating the nucleosynthesis and compare the resulting abundances to the observed ones, it is indispensable to know the branching ratios as well as the corresponding cross sections.
A great challenge in measuring those rates in experiments may be the radioactivity of the isotopes involved, which can make it nearly impossible to manufacture the needed targets. In addition, in stellar environments the excited states of isotopes can be in equilibrium with the ground state, affecting the half-lives and the branching ratios significantly. The isotope 152Eu is such a branching point, with neutron captures and β-decays competing. Those challenges were approached in the s405 experiment performed at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH: the challenge the challenge of the radioactivity can be approached by experiments carried out in inverse kinematics with radioactive beams, solving the problem of unstable targets. Also a reversed reaction was used to access the excited states of the studied isotope. The performed 152Sm(p,n)152Eu is a pioneering attempt to use those methods on heavy ions. The (p,n) reaction was used as a substitute for electron capture, the focus lies on reactions with low-momentum transfers, resulting in the emission of low-energy neutrons. The new developed low-energy detector array LENA was put to test for the fist time in the s405 experiment.
Ziel dieser Arbeit war, mittels einer (n,γ)-Aktivierung, 129Te zu erzeugen und eine Teilchenzahlbestimmung durchzuführen. Aktivierung der Probe am Forschungsreaktor TRIGA und Spektrenaufnahme mittels eines HPGe-Detektors erfolgten im Mai 2014 am Institut für Kernchemie der Johannes Gutenberg Universität in Mainz.
Die Teilchenzahl des Tochternuklids 129I kann anhand der Teilchenzahlen des Isomers und des Grundzustandes von 129Te berechnet werden. In den Aktivierungen #2 bis #6 wurden (14.27 ± 0.53)x10exp12 Iodnuklide erzeugt. Angegeben ist die maximal mögliche Anzahl von Iodteilchen bei unendlich langer Wartezeit und vollständigem Zerfall aller Tellurnuklide.
Beobachtet werden konnte die Abnahme der Grundzustandsaktivität bis zum Erreichen des Gleichgewichts aus Nachbevölkerung durch das Isomer und Zerfall. Die Grundzustandslinien der Energien von 459.60 keV, 487 keV, 1083 KeV und 1111 keV konnten zu dieser Untersuchung herangezogen werden. Diese 4 Linien erfüllen die erforderten Konsistenzkriterien bezüglich der Systematik und können daher zur Teilchenzahlbestimmung des Grundzustandes verwendet werden (Seite 31).
Der Einfluss der Eigenabsorption ist noch zu untersuchen, da die genaue Position der Probe im Polyethylenbehältnis nicht bestimmt werden konnte. Weiterhin ist die Datenanalyse der ersten Aktivierung aufgrund des Detektorwechsels noch nicht erfolgt. Der Austausch war wegen technischer Probleme notwendig. Ziel weiterführender Untersuchungen ist, eine erneute Halbwertszeitbestimmung des radioaktiven 129I vorzunehmen. Sie ist von Interesse, angesichts des Widerspruchs zweier Veröffentlichungen. Die Halbwertszeit des 129I kann Aufschluss über stellare Bedingungen des s-Prozesses geben.
This thesis presents experimental studies of proton capture and fragmentation reactions with heavy-ion storage rings. In one experiment, the 96Ru(p, γ)97Rh cross sections near the Gamow window have been measured at the ESR of GSI. In the other experiment, the measurement of the fragmentation yields has been carried out at the CSRe of IMP.
It is essential to determine the cross sections of (γ, p) or (p, γ) reactions for p-process network calculations. However, only very few of the required cross sections have been measured and thus most of them rely solely on Hauser-Feshbach model predictions. The predictions of the model have always very large uncertainties because of the not well-known input parameters. These parameters can be constrained by experiments. Compared to the traditional activation technique, a novel method using a storage ring has been developed to measure the cross sections of (p, γ) reactions in inverse kinematics.
This proton capture experiment has been performed at the ESR, where the circulating 96Ru44+ ions interacted with a hydrogen gas target at 9, 10 and 11 MeV/u. The nuclear reaction products of (p, p), (p, α), (p, n) and (p, γ) reactions were registered by position sensitive detectors. A Geant4 simulation code has been developed to distinguish the (p, γ) reaction products unambiguously from the background reactions. In this work, a relative normalization method has been utilized to accurately determine the cross sections of the (p, γ) reaction. The 96Ru(p, γ)97Rh cross section in the Gamow window of the p process is sensitive to two parameters, i.e., the γ-ray strength function and the optical model potential, while it is mainly sensitive to the γ-ray strength function in the energy region of our experiment. Therefore, our experimental (p, γ) cross sections near 10 MeV/u have been used to directly constrain the γ-ray strength function used in the model. Furthermore, the proton potential has also been constrained by combining our results with additional experimental data for this reaction in the lower energy region. The constrained model has been used to calculate the reaction rate over a wide temperature range, which is an extremely important input for astrophysical calculations.
The yields of fragments produced by 78Kr fragmentation reactions have been measured at the CSRe for the Tz = −1/2 and Tz = 1/2 nuclei along or close to the paths of αp- and rp-processes. The measured yields present a significant odd-even staggering effect for Tz = −1/2 nuclides but they are small for Tz = 1/2 nuclides.
The magnitude of this effect for four consecutive yields has been quantified using a third-order difference formula. It is found that the largest odd-even staggering is reached near the closed shells Z = 20 and Z = 28. Our experimental results could also compared with the data from other experiments with different projectile-target combinations. All these experimental data strongly support the closed shells Z = 20 and Z = 28 for the Tz = −1/2 nuclei.
