Development of a digital readout board for the ATLAS Tile Calorimeter upgrade demonstrator

- During the LHC shutdown in 2013/14, one of the ATLAS scintillating Tile Calorimeter (TileCal) on-detector modules will be replaced with a compatible hybrid demonstrator system. This is being built to fulfill all requirements for the complete upgrade of the TileCal electronics in 2022 but augmented to stay compatible with the present system. We report on the hybrid system's FPGA based communication module that is responsible for receiving and unpacking commands using a 4.8 Gbps downlink and driving a high bandwidth data uplink. The report includes key points like multi-gigabit transmission, clock distribution, programming and operation of the hardware. We also report on a firmware skeleton implementing all these key points and demonstrate how timing, trigger, control and data transmission can be achieved in the demonstrator.

Development of a readout link board for the demonstrator of the ATLAS Tile calorimeter upgrade

- A hybrid readout system is being developed for installation in one module of the ATLAS scintillating Tile Calorimeter (TileCal) during the long LHC shutdown in 2013/2014. The hybrid combines a fully functional demonstrator of the full-digital system planned for installation in 2022 with circuitry to maintain compatibility with the existing system. This is the report on a second generation prototype link and controller board connecting the on-and off-detector electronics. The main logic component within this board is a XILINX Kintex-7 FPGA connected to an 12x5 Gbps SNAP12 opto transmitter and a 4x10 Gbps QSFP+ connector, for off-detector communication. One of the latter two will be chosen for the final design.

Hyperspectral lidar for monitoring high-resolution activity patterns of African stingless bee species
- 2024

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Stingless bees are vital pollinators and honey producers in the tropics. Research on stingless bees is generally underrepresented compared to the western honeybees, and while stingless bee studies from some regions are reported, there is a particular lack of reports on the species endemic to Sub-Saharan Africa. Since conventional entomological methods such as mark-recapture and radar harmonic tags suffer from limited observation counts and amount to a significant payload, fluorescent powder tagging offers a promising alternative to understanding their behavior. We deploy a hyperspectral fluorescence lidar monitors a 25-mm-wide transect in front of the hives. Results: During a 1 day study at the International Stingless Bee Center, near Kakum National Park, Ghana, 17,862 insects were observed with the lidar, of which 7520 were tagged with fluorescent dyes. Approximately half of the bees from the selected hives were successfully tagged, with an estimated misclassification of 1%. According to our limited data, the observed species, Meliponula bocandei and the Dactylurina staudingeri exhibited different activity patterns. D. staudingeri displayed a half-hour longer active day, with clear crepuscular activity peaks. In contrast, M. bocandei activity was diurnal, with less pronounced crepuscular peaks. Conclusions: We demonstrate how hyperspectral fluorescence lidar can monitor powder-tagged insects throughout the day. The monitored species revealed distinct activity patterns over the day. Our findings highlight the potential of this technology as a valuable tool for understanding insect behavior and environmental preferences of species, in situ, which could potentially give clues of response to climate changes of these critical species.

Demographic composition, not demographic diversity, predicts biomass and turnover across temperate and tropical forests

- The growth and survival of individual trees determine the physical structure of a forest with important consequences for forest function. However, given the diversity of tree species and forest biomes, quantifying the multitude of demographic strategies within and across forests and the way that they translate into forest structure and function remains a significant challenge. Here, we quantify the demographic rates of 1961 tree species from temperate and tropical forests and evaluate how demographic diversity (DD) and demographic composition (DC) differ across forests, and how these differences in demography relate to species richness, aboveground biomass (AGB), and carbon residence time. We find wide variation in DD and DC across forest plots, patterns that are not explained by species richness or climate variables alone. There is no evidence that DD has an effect on either AGB or carbon residence time. Rather, the DC of forests, specifically the relative abundance of large statured species, predicted both biomass and carbon residence time. Our results demonstrate the distinct DCs of globally distributed forests, reflecting biogeography, recent history, and current plot conditions. Linking the DC of forests to resilience or vulnerability to climate change, will improve the precision and accuracy of predictions of future forest composition, structure, and function.

Measuring a Cherenkov ring in the radio emission from air showers at 110-190 MHz with LOFAR

- Measuring radio emission from air showers offers a novel way to determine properties of the primary cosmic rays such as their mass and energy. Theory predicts that relativistic time compression effects lead to a ring of amplified emission which starts to dominate the emission pattern for frequencies above ∼100∼100 MHz. In this article we present the first detailed measurements of this structure. Ring structures in the radio emission of air showers are measured with the LOFAR radio telescope in the frequency range of 110–190 MHz. These data are well described by CoREAS simulations. They clearly confirm the importance of including the index of refraction of air as a function of height. Furthermore, the presence of the Cherenkov ring offers the possibility for a geometrical measurement of the depth of shower maximum, which in turn depends on the mass of the primary particle.
