We describe the (2 x 800 kg) emulsion target in the CHORUS hybrid detector set-up for the search of nu(mu) --> nu(tau) oscillations. together with the CERN pouring and processing facilities (upgraded for this purpose), and the techniques employed to treat the emulsions used as the active target in the experiment.

Temperature dependence of the spetroscopic and structural properties of T1GaS2 and T1InS2 crystals Açıkgöz, Muhammed; Özkan, Hüsnü; Department of Physics (2004) The results of photoluminescence (PL) spectra of TlGaS2 single crystal were reported in the 500-1400 nm wavelength and in the 15-115 K temperature range. Three broad PL bands with an asymmetric Gaussian lineshapes were observed to be centered at 568 nm (A-band), 718 nm (B-band) and 1102 nm (C-band). The shift of the emission band peak energy as well as the change of the half-width of the emission band with temperature and excitation laser intensity were also studied. We analyzed the observed results using t...
Photoelectron, compton and characteristic x-ray escape from an HPGe detector in the range 8-52 keV Yilmaz, E; Can, Cüneyt (Wiley, 2004-11-01) Escape of photoelectrons, Compton-scattered photons and Ge x-rays from an HPGe detector was studied as a function of energy in the range 8-52 keV. A variable-energy source producing Cu, Rb, Mo, Ag, Ba. and Tb x-rays was used. All three mechanisms for energy loss were observed in the same experiment for Ba and Tb, while only x-ray and photoelectron escapes were evident in the spectra for Ag, Mo, Rb, and Cu. Spectral features and possible mechanisms for partial energy deposition were investigated. A Monte Car...
Escape of photoelectrons and Compton-scattered photons from an HPGe detector Can, Cüneyt (Wiley, 2003-07-01) The response function of a planar HPGe detector due to escape of photoelectrons and Compton-scattered photons was studied for a point source with 59.5 keV energy. It was shown that both mechanisms, in addition to Ge x-ray escape, leading to partial deposition of energy, could be observed in the same experiment. A Monte Carlo program was used to investigate these components of the response function. The results indicate that although the escape of scattered photons and Ge x-rays are of the same magnitude, th...
Optical characterization of silicon based hydrogenated amorphous thin films by un-visible and infrared measurements Kılıç, İlker; Katırcıoğlu, Bayram; Department of Physics (2006) Various carbon content hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide (a-Si1ŁxCx:H) and hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin films have been deposited on various substrates by using plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) technique. Transmission spectra of these films have been determined within UV-Visible region and the obtained data were analysed to find related physical constants such as; refractive indices, thicknesses, etc. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometry technique has been u...
Magnetic field and curvature effects on pair production. I. Scalars and spinors Karabali, D.; Kürkcüoğlu, Seçkin; Nair, V. P. (American Physical Society (APS), 2019-9-17) The pair production rates for spin-0 and spin-1/2 particles are calculated on spaces of the form M x R-1,R-1, with M corresponding to R-2 (flat); T-2 (flat, compactified); S-2 (positive curvature); and H-2 (negative curvature), with and without a background magnetic field on M. The motivation is to elucidate the effects of the curvature and background magnetic field. Contrasting effects for positive and negative curvature on the two cases of spin are obtained. For positive curvature, we find enhancement for...
