ABSTRACTIn the quest for low cost scintillators to equip the very large electromagnetic calorimeters for future High Energy Physics experiments, scintillating glasses can offer an attractive alternative to crystals. The expected production price is indeed supposed to be reduced as compared to crystals, especially for very large volumes. An intense R&D effort has been made by the Crystal Clear collaboration to develop heavy scintillating fluoride glasses in close collaboration with the industry. Results will be shown on the fluorescence and scintillation properties as well as on the radiation resistance of different types of fluoride glasses. Ideas about possible improvement of present performances will also be given.

ABSTRACTCerium fluoride offers a reasonable compromise between parameters like the density, the light yield, the scintillation characteristics (particularly the decay time) and the radiation hardness, and is considered today as the best candidate for large electromagnetic calorimeters in future High Energy Physics experiments. Details on the performances of large crystals produced by different manufacturers all over the world and measured by the Crystal Clear collaboration will be shown and the usefulness of a good collaboration between the industry and the users will be highlighted by some examples on the light yield and radiation hardness improvement.

With the advantages of high-performance, easy to build and relatively low cost, the multigap resistive plate chamber has been arousing broad interests over the last few decades. It has become a new standard technology for the time of flight system in high energy physics experiments. In this article, we will give a description of the structure and the operating principles of the MRPC detector and focus on reviewing the applications on the time of flight system in several famous experiments. The performances, including time resolution and particle identification, are discussed in detail. Some recent advances and points of view for the future development of the next generation MRPC are also outlined.

The application of superconductivity to the large magnets required for charged particle spectroscopy in high energy physics experiments, and for plasma containment in fusion experiments, has resulted in a spectacular leap in the efficiency of these devices. First applied in the late 1960s, the technology has progressed to meet increasingly demanding goals of the experiments and has stimulated important development of the associated conductors. In this article we describe briefly the basic requirements that determine the design of the different types of magnets. This is followed by descriptions of examples of representative working and projected magnets, as well as essential auxiliary equipment. An overview is provided of ongoing development that may impact on the design of future magnets.

The DØ experiment at Fermilab's Tevatron will record several petabytes of data over the next five years in pursuing the goals of understanding nature and searching for the origin of mass. Computing resources required to analyze these data far exceed capabilities of any one institution. Moreover, the widely scattered geographical distribution of DØ collaborators poses further serious difficulties for optimal use of human and computing resources. These difficulties will exacerbate in future high energy physics experiments, like the LHC. The computing grid has long been recognized as a solution to these problems. This technology is being made a more immediate reality to end users in DØ by developing a grid in the DØ Southern Analysis Region (DØSAR), DØSAR-Grid, using all available resources within it and a home-grown local task manager, McFarm. We will present the architecture in which the DØSAR-Grid is implemented, the use of technology and the functionality of the grid, and the experience from operating the grid in simulation, reprocessing and data analyses for a currently running HEP experiment.
