Belle II experiment. Coordinates: 36°9′28″N 140°4′30″E. The opened Belle II detector before installation of the inner tracking detectors. The Belle II experiment is a particle physics experiment designed to study the properties of B mesons (heavy particles containing a bottom quark) and other particles. Belle II is the successor to ...
STAR detector. The STAR detector (for Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC) is one of the four experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) in Brookhaven National Laboratory, United States. [ 1][ 2][ 3] The primary scientific objective of STAR is to study the formation and characteristics of the quark–gluon plasma (QGP), a state of matter ...
A solar tracker is a device that orients a payload toward the Sun. Payloads are usually solar panels, parabolic troughs, Fresnel reflectors, lenses, or the mirrors of a heliostat . For flat-panel photovoltaic systems, trackers are used to minimize the angle of incidence between the incoming sunlight and a photovoltaic panel, sometimes known as ...
Tracking (particle physics) In particle physics, tracking is the process of reconstructing the trajectory (or track) of electrically charged particles in a particle detector known as a tracker. The particles entering such a tracker leave a precise record of their passage through the device, by interaction with suitably constructed components ...
Geant4 includes facilities for handling geometry, tracking, detector response, run management, visualization and user interface.For many physics simulations, this means less time needs to be spent on the low level details, and researchers can start immediately on the more important aspects of the simulation.
Star tracker. The STARS real-time star tracking software operates on an image from EBEX 2012, a high-altitude balloon-borne cosmology experiment launched from Antarctica on 2012-12-29. A star tracker is an optical device that measures the positions of stars using photocells or a camera. [ 1] As the positions of many stars have been measured by ...
Laser tracker. Laser trackers are instruments that accurately measure large objects by determining the positions of optical targets held against those objects. The accuracy of laser trackers is of the order of 0.025 mm over a distance of several metres. [ 1] Some examples of laser tracker applications are to align aircraft wings during assembly ...
t. e. Ceramic insulator used on an electrified railway. Three-core copper wire power cable, each core with an individual colour-coded insulating sheath, all contained within an outer protective sheath. An electrical insulator is a material in which electric current does not flow freely. The atoms of the insulator have tightly bound electrons ...
