AbstractAbstract
[en] The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) nominal luminosity is 1034 cm-2 s-1, but special runs at 1028 cm-2 s-1 are also foreseen. In order to cover a luminosity dynamic range of six orders of magnitude, we have studied a new concept of luminosity monitor based on a double mode detector, working as a secondary emission counter at the highest luminosity and as an ionisation chamber at lower levels. We present the description of the device and the results obtained during tests at the CERN PS and SPS beams

AbstractAbstract
[en] CERN has now launched the series production of the steel-concrete cores for the LEP dipole magnets after a three-year development programme during which 14 prototypes were built in collaboration with industry. This paper describes the mechanical, geometrical and magnetic characteristics of these cores and the fabrication techniques which have been developed. Particular emphasis is put on the following points: the controlled mixing of steel in order to reduce the field variations between cores; the influence of the thickness and of the pitch of the laminations on the field quality; and the composition and working conditions of the mortar in relation to the tolerances on core geometry

AbstractAbstract
[en] A new device, consisting of a rough plate immersed in the fluid sample, was developed to enable a simpler measurement of the sedimentation and yield stress increase of non-Newtonian suspensions. Due to the deformation of the material at rest or due to changes in the solid volume concentration by sedimentation along the vertical axis, the plate apparent mass varies with time. The apparent yield stress value of a fluid and the sedimentation rate could be calculated from this measurement

AbstractAbstract
[en] Due to its low environmental impact, earth construction has received lot of consideration in recent years. Furthermore, in order to improve the quality of earth construction, there is a need for a better description and control of the earth consistency or rheology. Just as for concrete with the Abrams cone, there is need for a simple and robust test that is able to provide, under field conditions, the consistency of the earth and that has results that can be used to estimate the yield stress of a fine soil used for cob or adobe. Two types of field-oriented tests are optimized for field conditions: the first one is based on the cone penetration test as used for the determination of the Atterberg limits and the second one is the ball dropping test already used onsite to check the adequacy between the earth consistency and the construction process. Finally, an experimental validation carried out on two types of soil shows that the yield stresses computed from the field-oriented tests is in agreement with the yield stresses obtained in a conventional way using a vane rheometer.

AbstractAbstract
[en] The Large Hadron Collider forward (LHCf) experiment has been designed to use the LHC to benchmark the hadronic interaction models used in cosmic-ray physics. It measures neutral particles emitted in the very forward region of the LHC p-p or p-N collisions. In this paper, the performances of the LHCf detectors for hadronic showers was studied with MC simulations and beam tests. The detection efficiency for neutrons varies from 70% to 80% above 500 GeV. The energy resolutions are about 40% and the position resolution is 0.1 to 1.3 mm depending on the incident energy for neutrons. The energy scale determined by the MC simulations and the validity of the MC simulations were examined using 350 GeV proton beams at the CERN-SPS

AbstractAbstract
[en] In the Large Hadron Collider forward (LHCf) experiment, the luminosity is determined with the counting rates of detectors called Front Counter. During the LHCf physics operation at √s = 7 TeV in 2010, two series of calibration run in the conversion factors from the counting rate to the luminosity were carried out on 26th of April and 9th of May. Using the luminosities determined in the April and May scans with 5 % and 4 % accuracy, the conversion factors were determined with 5.0 % accuracy, providing the luminosity determination at the LHCf experiment with this accuracy.

AbstractAbstract
[en] LHCf is an experiment dedicated to the measurement of neutral particles emitted in the very forward region of LHC collisions. The physics goal is to provide data for calibrating the hadron interaction models that are used in the study of Extremely High-Energy Cosmic-Rays. This is possible since the laboratory equivalent collision energy of LHC is 1017 eV. Two LHCf detectors, consisting of imaging calorimeters made of tungsten plates, plastic scintillator and position sensitive sensors, are installed at zero degree collision angle ±140 m from an interaction point (IP). Although the lateral dimensions of these calorimeters are very compact, ranging from 20 mm x 20 mm to 40 mm x 40 mm, the energy resolution is expected to be better than 6% and the position resolution better than 0.2 mm for γ-rays with energy from 100 GeV to 7 TeV. This has been confirmed by test beam results at the CERN SPS. These calorimeters can measure particles emitted in the pseudo rapidity range η > 8.4. Detectors, data acquisition and electronics are optimized to operate during the early phase of the LHC commissioning with luminosity below 1030 cm-2 s-1. LHCf is expected to obtain data to compare with the major hadron interaction models within a week or so of operation at luminosity ∼ 1029 cm-2 s-1. After ∼ 10 days of operation at luminosity ∼ 1029 cm-2 s-1, the light output of the plastic scintillators is expected to degrade by ∼ 10% due to radiation damage. This degradation will be monitored and corrected for using calibration pulses from a laser

AbstractAbstract
[en] The LHCf experiment is one of the LHC forward experiments. The aim is to measure the energy and the transverse momentum spectra of photons, neutrons and π0's at the very forward region (the pseudo-rapidity range of η>8.4), which should be critical data to calibrate hadron interaction models used in the air shower simulations. LHCf successfully operated at √(s)=900GeV and √(s)=7TeV proton–proton collisions in 2009 and 2010. We present the first physics result, single photon energy spectra at √(s)=7TeV proton–proton collisions and the pseudo-rapidity ranges of η>10.94 and 8.81<η<8.9. The obtained spectra were compared with the predictions by several hadron interaction models and the models do not reproduce the experimental results perfectly.

AbstractAbstract
[en] The inclusive photon energy spectra measured by the Large Hadron Collider forward (LHCf) experiment in the very forward region of LHC proton-proton collisions at √(s)=900 GeV are reported. The results from the analysis of 0.30 nb-1 of data collected in May 2010 in the two pseudorapidity regions of η>10.15 and 8.77<η<9.46 are compared with the predictions of the hadronic interaction models DPMJET 3.04, EPOS 1.99, PYTHIA 8.145, QGSJET II-03 and SIBYLL 2.1, which are widely used in ultra-high energy cosmic ray experiments. EPOS 1.99 and SIBYLL 2.1 show a reasonable agreement with the spectral shape of the experimental data, whereas they predict lower cross-sections than the data. The other models, DPMJET 3.04, QGSJET II-03 and PYTHIA 8.145, are in good agreement with the data below 300 GeV but predict harder energy spectra than the data above 300 GeV. The results of these comparisons exhibited features similar to those for the previously reported data for √(s)=7 TeV collisions.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Energy resolution and linearity of the LHCf calorimeters for electromagnetic showers were measured at the SPS H4 beam line in 2007 using electron beams of 50–200 GeV and muon beams of 150 GeV. The absolute energy scale was determined in these data. The results that were obtained (<5% energy resolution) are well understood by using Monte Carlo simulations and are good enough for the requirements of the LHCf experiment.
