Spin Correlations in tt Events from pp Collisions (Springer Theses)
by Boris Lemmer
This thesis introduces readers to the Standard Model, the top quark and its properties, before explaining the concept of spin correlation measurement. The first measurement of top quark spin correlations at the LHC in the lepton+jets decay channel is presented. As the heaviest elementary particle, the top quark plays an essential role in the Standard Model of elementary particle physics. In the case of top quarks being produced in pairs at hadron colliders, the Standard Model predicts their spin...

Target Station Optimization for the High-Brilliance Neutron Source HBS (Springer Theses)
by Jan Philipp Dabruck
In the present work, the target station of the accelerator-driven neutron source HBS is optimized in comprehensive parameter studies using the Monto-Carlo method. The dependence of the most important performance characteristics of such a system on the external parameters is investigated neglecting technical and mechanical limitations. In this way, qualitative and quantitative statements for all possible configurations and envisaged applications can be derived and should be considered in the det...
Standards and Practice for Instrumentation (Standards & practices for instrumentation & control, S5. 4)
Das vorliegende Lehrbuch bietet Studierenden der Natur- und Ingenieurswissenschaften einen ubersichtlichen und anschaulichen Einstieg in den Umgang mit Messdaten und deren Interpretation unter Verwendung der Messunsicherheit - fruher oft Fehlerrechnung genannt. Dabei stehen das Verstandnis und die Vermittlung von direkt anwendbarem Wissen im Vordergrund. Auf lange mathematische Herleitungen wird weitgehend verzichtet. Auf Basis einiger einfacher Grundprinzipien wie der Verteilung der Messwerte...
Precision Temperature Sensors in CMOS Technology (Analog Circuits and Signal Processing)
by Micheal A.P. Pertijs and Johan Huijsing
This book describes the analysis and design of precision temperature sensors in CMOS IC technology, focusing on so-called smart temperature sensors, which provide a digital output signal that can be readily interpreted by a computer. The text shows how temperature characteristics can be used to obtain an accurate digital temperature reading. The book ends with a detailed description of three prototypes, one of which achieves the best performance reported to date.

This book reviews the HL-LHC experiments and the fourth-generation photon science experiments, discussing the latest radiation hardening techniques, optimization of device & process parameters using TCAD simulation tools, and the experimental characterization required to develop rad-hard Si detectors for x-ray induced surface damage and bulk damage by hadronic irradiation. Consisting of eleven chapters, it introduces various types of strip and pixel detector designs for the current upgrade, ra...
As the only comprehensive text focusing on metal shaping processes, which are still the most widely used processes in the manufacture of products and structures, ""Metal Shaping Processes"" carefully presents the fundamentals of metal shaping processes with their relevant applications. The treatment of the subject matter is adequately descriptive for those unfamiliar with the various processes and yet is sufficiently analytical for an introductory academic course in manufacturing. The text, as w...
The Elementary Structure of Matter (Springer Proceedings in Physics, #26)

Fano Resonances in Optics and Microwaves (Springer Series in Optical Sciences, #219)
This book discusses the development of Fano-based techniques and reveals the characteristic properties of various wave processes by studying interference phenomena. It explains that the interaction of discrete (localized) states with a continuum of propagation modes leads to Fano interference effects in transmission, and explores novel coherent effects such as bound states in the continuum accompanied by collapse of Fano resonance. Originating in atomic physics, Fano resonances have become one...
Nuclear and radioactive agents are considerable concerns especially after the early 1990s and more attention has been focused on the radiation detection technologies.

The contributions represent a wide range of documents related to control, monitoring and measurement methods of nuclear / radioactive isotopes and agents for both fundamental and applied works dealing with their use...
Bruno Touschek's Extraordinary Journey (Springer Biographies)
by Giulia Pancheri
This book tells the story of a unique scientific and human adventure, following the life and science of Bruno Touschek, an Austrian born physicist, who conceived and built AdA, the first matter-antimatter colliding-beam storage ring, the ancestor of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN where the Higgs Boson was discovered in 2012. Making extensive use of archival sources and personal correspondence, the author offers for the first time a unified history of European efforts to build modern-day parti...
