Abstract

Observation of high energy and very high emission from Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) is crucial to study the gigantic explosion and the underline processes. With a large field-of-view and almost full duty cycle, the Water Cherenkov Detector Array (WCDA), a sub-array of the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO), is appropriate to monitor the very high energy emission from unpredictable transients such as GRBs. Nevertheless, the main issue for an extensive air shower array is the high energy threshold which limits the horizon of the detector. To address this issue a new trigger method is developed in this article to lower the energy threshold of WCDA for GRB observation. The proposed method significantly improves the detection efficiency of WCDA for gamma-rays around the GRB direction at 10-300 GeV. The sensitivity of the WCDA for GRB detection with the new trigger method is estimated. The achieved sensitivity of the quarter WCDA array above 10 GeV is comparable with that of Fermi-LAT. The data analysis process and corresponding fluence upper limit for GRB 190719C is presented as an example.

Abstract

The focal plane camera is the core component of the Wide Field-of-view Cherenkov/fluorescence Telescope Array (WFCTA) of the Large High-Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO). Because of the capability of working under moonlight without aging, silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) have been proven to be not only an alternative but also an improvement to conventional photomultiplier tubes (PMT) in this application. Eighteen SiPM-based cameras with square light funnels have been built for WFCTA. The telescopes have collected more than 100 million cosmic ray events and preliminary results indicate that these cameras are capable of working under moonlight. The characteristics of the light funnels and SiPMs pose challenges (e.g. dynamic range, dark count rate, assembly techniques). In this paper, we present the design features, manufacturing techniques and performances of these cameras. Finally, the test facilities, the test methods and results of SiPMs in the cameras are reported here., Comment: 45 pages, 21 figures, article

Abstract

The main scientific goal of the LHAASO WFCTA experiment is to measure the cosmic ray energy spectra and composition from 10 TeV to 1 EeV. Cherenkov photons in the extensive air shower measured by the SiPM camera of Cherenkov telescopes can be used to reconstruct the cosmic ray energy. The absolute calibration of the camera is a crucial step to achieve the accurate measurement of the cosmic ray energy spectrum. A multi-wavelength cylindrical illuminator based on LEDs is developed and mounted inside the telescope to calibrate and monitor the camera, and the illuminator’s stability is better than 0.5% under the temperature variation from -26 to 26 ° C. A portable probe with a single photoelectron resolution of 21.6% is developed. After calibration by National Institute of Metrology, China (NIM), the probe is taken to the LHAASO site to measure the absolute photon density of the cylindrical illuminator inside the telescope. Based on the illuminator with known photon density, the photon conversion factor of the camera can be calibrated, and the overall calibration uncertainty is less than 2.6%.

Abstract

The Water Cherenkov Detector Array (WCDA) is a major component of the Large High Altitude Air Shower Array Observatory (LHAASO), a new generation cosmic-ray experiment with unprecedented sensitivity, currently under construction. The WCDA is aimed at the study of TeV $\gamma$-rays. In order to evaluate the prospects of searching for TeV $\gamma$-ray sources with the WCDA, we present in this paper a projection for the one-year sensitivity of the WCDA to TeV $\gamma$-ray sources from TeVCat (footnote: http://tevcat.uchicago.edu) using an all-sky approach. Out of 128 TeVCat sources observable to the WCDA up to a zenith angle of $45^\circ$, we estimate that 42 would be detectable for one year of observations at a median energy of 1 TeV. Most of them are Galactic sources, and the extragalactic sources are Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN)., Comment: 10 pages,10 figures, it is to be published in Chinese Physics C

Abstract

The LHAASO-WFCTA experiment, which aims to observe cosmic rays in the sub-EeV range using the fluorescence technique, uses a new generation of high-performance telescopes. To ensure that the experiment has excellent detection capability associated with the measurement of the energy spectrum, the primary composition of cosmic rays, and so on, an accurate geometrical reconstruction of air-shower events is fundamental. This paper describes the development and testing of geometrical reconstruction for stereo viewed events using the WFCTA (Wide Field of view Cherenkov/Fluorescence Telescope Array) detectors. Two approaches, which take full advantage of the WFCTA detectors, are investigated. One is the stereo-angular method, which uses the pointing of triggered SiPMs in the shower trajectory, and the other is the stereo-timing method, which uses the triggering time of the fired SiPMs. The results show that both methods have good geometrical resolution; the resolution of the stereo-timing method is slightly better than the stereo-angular method because the resolution of the latter is slightly limited by the shower track length.

Abstract

High‐speed spindle systems designed with gas bearings are widely used in electronic industries for printed circuit board drilling and semiconductor wafer cutting. This study focuses on investigating the stiffness of the gas bearing when the spindle itself is suspended under the supplied air pressure without rotating. The investigation utilized both the experimental ball impact test method and the numerical finite difference method to solve the modeling Reynolds equation for the stiffness evaluation respectively. The most frequently used condition of the 6 bar supply pressure is investigated experimentally for stiffness at the beginning of the study. It is then compared with the numerical results as derived from the theoretical calculated pressure distribution of the gas bearing. The validated numerical scheme is applied further to calculate the stiffness at other supply pressure and geometric variations. Moreover, it is also investigated for influences on the gas bearing stiffness by making a ser...

Abstract

The study developed a multipurpose finite element solution module with the theoretical groundwork originated from principles of rotordynamics. This module is capable of solving many of the related rotating machine problems such as of the high speed gas bearing spindles and the electric machines. The goal of this paper is to utilize the developed solution module in investigating various aspects of the vibration behavior of an induction motor system for solving its failure problem of the shaft. Some of the crucial factors to the quality and performance of the motor, such as the vibration amplitude as resulted from the bearing wear, damping effects, mass unbalance, and the passing of system resonance critical speeds, are all investigated in the study. An efficient dual-rotor model is verified to have excellent accuracy when comparing the calculated frequency response function (FRF) with that from modal testing. The results of the transient orbit analysis indicate that the bearing stiffness and damping dominates the vibration amplitude remarkably. The effects both from the bearing damping as well as from the clamping-damping between the silicon steel core and the rotating shaft are all examined. It is noticed that the bearing damping plays the major role in the restraint of the vibration amplitudes of the rotor. For the analysis of vibration suppression with different eccentricities of the unbalanced masses, it is found that the adding of balance masses will normally suppress the vibration amplitude effectively until the point where an optimum amount that causes the minimum balanced vibration amplitudes is observed. Both the qualitative and quantitative analyses for the effectiveness of the balance mass added with different eccentricity ratios are studied. Thus, the critical adding mass ratio (i.e. the adding mass ratio at the minimum balanced amplitude factor) can also be predicted through its linear relationship with the eccentricity ratio. Based on all the findings through the study, it is concluded that the approach not only can solve the realistic shaft vibration failure problems of a motor and the demonstrated processes are also believed to be able to help the designers to have better command of motor performance at the system design stage.

Abstract

An excimer pumped dye laser generating ultra-short (560 fs full width at half maximum, FWHM) pulses in the ultraviolet (UV, 248 nm) and visible (496 nm) spectral ranges is used to desorb protein ions from different matrices. The effects of laser-light energy and power density on secondary-ion yields from insulin are reported. These data are compared to data obtained by employing a nitrogen laser (337 nm, 3 ns FWHM). The existence of a threshold energy density for the matrix-asisted laser desorbtion (MALD) of insulin ions by the ultra-short pulses is established. This threshold energy is of the same order of magnitude for the two laser systems employed and does not depend on the laser pulse length (the energy deposition time). Thus we demonstrate that the amount of laser energy deposited into the sample, rather than the laser power, is the important parameter in the MALD process.
