Bose Institute is Asia’s first modern research centre devoted to interdisciplinary research and bears a century old tradition of research excellence. In the experimental high-energy physics (EHEP) detector laboratory of Bose Institute, Kolkata, we are working on the R&D of Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM), straw tube detector for future heavy ion physics experiments and also developing low resistive bakelite Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC), keeping in mind high particle rate handling capacity. The main goal of our research program is the stability study and ageing study of gaseous detectors mentioned above. In this review article, the details of the R&D program of GEM detector, straw tube and RPC detectors carried out during the last five years is reported.

From its invention in 1997, the Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) has been applied in nuclear and high energy physics experiments. Over time however, other applications have also exploited the favorable properties of GEMs. The use of GEMs in these applications will be explained in principle and practice. This paper reviews applications in research, beam instrumentation and homeland security. The detectors described measure neutral radiations such as photons, x-rays, gamma rays and neutrons, as well as all kinds of charged radiation. This paper provides an overview of the still expanding range of possibilities of this versatile detector concept.

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.

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.
