- The HADES RPC inner TOF wallPublication . Belver, D.; Blanco, A.; Cabanelas, P.; Carolino, N.; Castro, E.; Diaz, J.; Fonte, P.; Garzón, J.A.; Gonzalez-Diaz, D.; Gil, A.; Koenig, W.; Lopes, L.; Mangiarotti, A.; Oliveira, O.; Pereira, A.; Silva, C.; Sousa, C.C.; Zapata, M.The upgraded HADES inner TOF Wall will cover a total area of 8 m2 with 1116 variable-geometry 4-gap, symmetric, timing RPCs, readout by 2232 time and charge channels. Each RPC is individually shielded for robust multi-hit performance and optimum use of the readout channels (crosstalk minimization). The double layer configuration provides a useful degree of redundancy for very accurate timing of a large fraction of all particles crossing the detector. In this paper we describe the concept of the detector, its inner structure and the multi-hit performance.
- What does low energy physics tell us about the zero momentum gluon propagatorPublication . Costa, Pedro; Oliveira, O.; Silva, P. J.The connection between QCD, a nonlocal Nambu–Jona-Lasinio type model and the Landau gauge gluon propagator is explored. This two point function is parameterized by a functional form which is compatible with Dyson–Schwinger and lattice QCD results. Demanding the nonlocal model to reproduce the experimental values for the pion mass, the pion decay constant, and the light quark condensate we conclude that low energy physics does not distinguish between the so-called decoupling and scaling solutions of the Dyson–Schwinger equations. This result means that, provided that the model parameters are chosen appropriately, one is free to choose any of the above scenarios. Furthermore, the nonlocal Nambu–Jona-Lasinio quark model considered here is chiral invariant and satisfies the GMOR relation at the 1% level of precision.
