The effect of inorganic electrolytes on the determination of relative permittivity and concentration of water solutions of 1,4 dioxane was studied in this work. The method used was dielectrimetry, and NaCl, KCl, CsCl and LiCl at various concentrations were tested electrolytes. The interfering effect of these electrolytes was found for concentrations above 0.05 mmol l-1. It was also found that the interfering factor is purely the solution conductivity independent on the ion kind. The measurements were carried out with both the planar and the tubular detection cell having the electrodes insulated from the solution. The cell was connected to the differentiator (the voltage is the analytical signal) or multivibrator (the frequency is the analytical signal). A good agreement between experimental results and the modeled calculation for the detector with differentiator was also obtained.

The SCT is a silicon strip detector forming a part of the tracking system of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The tracking performance of SCT is influenced by several fundamental effects: multiple scattering, Lorentz drift, energy loss variation, noise occupancy, and δ-ray production. In this thesis, the task requested by the SCT detector group has been performed. Clusters containing a δ-ray, which are assigned to a track were studied on data samples, specially prepared for this purpose. A correction to the affected cluster positions was successfully developed. The correction to δ-rays has been implemented into the ATHENA reconstruction framework and its performance was evaluated. A meaningful usage of correction for the detector alignment has been proposed. The ongoing detailed verification of the performance within the event reconstruction is partially beyond the scope of the thesis work.

In current particle physics field, the progressive detection technologies are used. The pixel detectors are one of them. These detectors are divided into small subdetectors (pixels), which allow viewing exact tracks of the detected particles. This thesis defines criteria for mathematical description of the shape of the particle tracks of different kinds (e-, γ, p, α, μ) and compares several methods used for a classification -neural networks, decision trees and others. The Pixa software was implemented to process the data measured by pixel detectors. This software implements the characteristics and classification methods and creates statistical and other physical results.

Die Dissertation beschreibt die Entwicklung eines Triggers fuer den Backward Silicon Tracker (BST). Der Detektor wurde im Jahre 2001 installiert und nach der Modifizierung von HERA zur Erreichung hoeherer Luminositaet in Betrieb genommen. Der Backward Silicon Tracker des H1-Experiments wird in Verbindung mit einem Blei-Scintillationsfaser Kalorimeter zur detaillierten Untersuchung der inklusiven tief inelastischen Streuung von Leptonen an Protonen, und der Charm-Erzeugung bei kleinen Werte der Bjorken Variable x eingesetzt. Die guten Eigenschaften von Festkoerper-Halbleitern, geringes elektronisches Rauschen und schnelle Signalantworten, wurden bei der Entwicklung des Silizium Pad-Detektors zum Nachweis von Spuren in der Rueckwaertsregion des H1-Experiments in der ersten Stufe des Triggersystems ausgenutzt. Der neue Triggerdetektor des BST, der Pad-Detektor und die dafuer entwickelte Ausleseelektronik wie auch die implementierte Logik werden beschrieben. Resultate von Teststrahlmessungen und von ersten Messungen unter Luminositaetsbedingungen an HERA-II werden dargestellt. / The Backward Silicon Tracker of the H1 experiment is being used in conjunction with a lead-fiber Calorimeter for detailed investigations of inclusive deeply inelastic scattering of leptons from protons, and of charm production at small values of the Bjorken variable x. In this thesis the development of a trigger for the Backward Silicon Tracker is described. The detector was installed in 2001 and started to operate in H1 after the HERA upgrade. Exploiting the low noise performance and fast time response of solid state semiconductors, a silicon pad detector telescope was developed for the first level trigger on tracks scattered in the backward region of the H1 detector. The design of the new trigger part of the BST consisting of silicon pad detectors and dedicated fast readout circuitry is described. Results of beam tests and first luminosity data are presented.
