ABSTRACTA large tracking detector consisting of scintillating plastic optical fibers has been chosen by the D0 collaboration as a part of a planned upgrade at the Fermilab Tevatron. The tracker will utilize a state of the art photodetector known as the Visible Light Photon Counter. The benefits of fiber tracking in high energy physics will be presented along with recent progress in several key areas, including: optimization of scintillating dyes and light yields, fiber construction, fiber ribbon manufacture and placement, optical transmission and photodetection. The current status of the D0 development effort will be outlined, including results from the characterization of 5000 channels of VLPC. Finally, results from simulations of expected detector performance will be shown and discussed.

Detector Control Systems (DCS) for modern High-Energy Physics (HEP) experiments are based on complex distributed (and often redundant) hardware and software implementing real-time operational procedures meant to ensure that the detector is always in a safe state, thus maximizing the lifetime of the detector. Display, archival and often analysis of the environmental data are also part of the tasks assigned to DCS systems. The CMS Tracker Control System (TCS) is a resilient system that has been designed to safely operate the silicon tracking detector in the CMS experiment. It has been built on top of an industrial Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) software product WinCC OA extended with a framework developed at CERN, JCOP, along with CMS and Tracker specific components. The TCS is at present undergoing major architecture redesign which is critical to ensure efficient control of the detector and its future upgrades for the next fifteen years period. In this paper, we will present an overview of the Tracker DCS and the architecture of the software components as well as the associated deliverables.

BEPC, which is the first high energy particle accelerator to be built in the People’s Republic of China, is being constructed in Beijing. It consists of four main subsystems: a 1.4 GeV electron-positron linac, a 2.2–2.8 GeV storage ring, a magnetic spectrometer for high energy physics experiments, and synchrotron radiation facilities. All its components are described here in detail, and the current status of the construction is reported.

We review the current status of neutrino oscillation experiments, mainly focusing on T2(H)K, NOνA, and DUNE. Their capability to probe high energy physics is found in the precision measurement of the CP phase and θ23. In general, neutrino mass models predict correlations among the mixing angles that can be used to scan and shrink their parameter space. We updated previous analysis and presented a list of models that contain such structure.

Abstract This paper is a research survey of the WILGA Symposium work. It presents a digest of technical effort results shown by young researchers from different universities during the Jubilee XXXth SPIE-IEEE-Photonics Society of Poland Wilga 2012 symposium on Photonics and Internet Engineering. Topical tracks of the symposium embraced: nanomaterials and nanotechnologies for photonics, sensory and nonlinear optical fibers, object oriented design of hardware, photonic metrology, optoelectronics and photonics applications, photonics-electronics co-design, optoelectronic and electronic systems for astronomy and high energy physics experiments, JET tokamak and pi-ofthe sky experiments development. The symposium is an annual summary in the development of numerable Ph.D. theses carried out in this country in the area of advanced electronic and photonic systems. It is also a great occasion for SPIE, IEEE, OSA and PSP students to meet together in a large group spanning the whole country with guests from this part of Europe. A digest of Wilga references is presented [1]-[60]. This paper is the first part of the digest focused on astronomy, space, astroparticle physics, accelerators, and high energy physics experiments.
