Albany Particle Training And Testing Tower (Apt3) : A Remote Interactive Lab, Hasan Mahmood Jan 2011

Albany Particle Training And Testing Tower (Apt3) : A Remote Interactive Lab, Hasan Mahmood

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

We have built a prototype time-of-flight system named Albany Particle Testing and Training Tower (APT3) based on scintillation counters (Lucite or Poly-methyl methacrylate (PMMA)) with dimensions (50 × 8 × 5 cm3). The CAMAC based data acquisition (DAQ) system and control setup to collect and process information from a scintillation detector using LabVIEW (v.8.5) has been developed. We have also studied the timing resolution of APT3 setup as a function of the hit position of the particle beam (cosmic muons) from the scintillation counter and as a function of the high voltage applied to the scintillation counter. After locating the …

Autonomous Entropy-Based Intelligent Experimental Design, Nabin Kumar Malakar

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

The aim of this thesis is to explore the application of probability and information theory in experimental design, and to do so in a way that combines what we know about inference and inquiry in a comprehensive and consistent manner.
