The methods used in researching this book deliberately draw from a number of disciplines—specifically, sociology, history, and political theory. Such a mixed-methods approach was in keeping with the "Elite Schools" project as a multisited, global ethnography. In this chapter, the author anonymized the Caledonian School, as well as some others. This de-identification is in keeping with the ethics policy surrounding research at my institution, Monash University. It also adds a sense of consistency for the overall "Elite Schools" project's publications. The incomplete nature of the school's archives is surprising given its status: many elite schools in the Anglophone "North" now employ full-time archivists. The authors' perambulations around the school's neighbourhood, as well as different parts of the city with local friends, all contributed to his study, even if not in ways made obvious in the text.

The complete 5.4 kton MINOS far detector has been taking data since the beginning of August 2003 at a depth of 2070 meters water-equivalent in the Soudan mine, Minnesota. This paper presents the first MINOS observations of νµ and νµ charged-current atmospheric neutrino interactions based on an exposure of 418 days. The ratio of upward to downward-going events in the data is compared to the Monte Carlo expectation in the absence of neutrino oscillations giving:

A prototype optical data and Timing, Trigger and Control transmission system based on LEDs and PIN-diodes has been constructed. The system would be suitable in terms of radiation hardness and radiation length for use in the ATLAS SemiConductor Tracker. Bit error rate measurements were performed for the data links and for the links distributing the Timing, Trigger and Control data from the counting room to the front-end modules. The effects of cross-talk between the emitters and receivers were investigated. The advantages of using Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) instead of LEDs are discussed.
Many different configurations of electronics and semiconductor strip detectors were studied in 1995 using the ATLAS tracking detector test area at the H8 beam-line of the CERN SPS. A significant fraction of these investigations are presented elsewhere in this volume and this paper will concentrate on the results with silicon strip detectors read out with electronics preserving the pulse height information. Data has been collected with the ADAM, APV5 and FElix read-out chips on a number of different detectors. The first results are presented for read out with LHC electronics of detectors to the ATLAS-A specification of 112.5 μm pitch, employing n-strips in n-type silicon, capacitive coupling and intermediate strips. It is demonstrated that with adequate signal/noise, a spatial resolution of ⋍13 μm is attainable with these detectors.
The status of the Soudan 2 experiment is discussed. The detector parameters, running schedule, and physics program are presented. Limits on proton decay, the flux of highly ionizing magnetic monopoles and neutrinos from active galactic nuclei are given.
The first-level trigger is a programmable 20-MHz pipelined machine based on user-programmable gate arrays, SRAMs (static random access memory) and other PLDs (programmable logic devices). The authors give an overview of the processor and concentrate on the design of the main track finding module, cell processor 1 (CP1). The design demonstrates the techniques required for a fast continuous pipelined multicrate trigger, where the processing time is greater than the drift time and the beam-crossing rate. A fundamental limitation occurs when events are closer together than the drift time, thus becoming merged. The higher beam-crossover rate of future machines would be accommodated by improvements in circuit speed and density. >
The 1.1 kton Soudan 2 calorimetric drift-chamber detector is read out by 16K anode wires and 32K cathode strips. Preamps from each wire or strip are bussed together in groups of 8 to reduce the number of ADC channels. The resulting 6144 channels of ionization signal are flash-digitized every 200 ns and stored in RAM. The raw data hit patterns are continually compared with programmable trigger multiplicity and adjacency conditions. The data acquisition process is managed in a system of 24 parallel crates each containing an Intel 80C86 microprocessor, which supervises a pipe-lined data compactor, and allows transfer of the compacted data via CAMAC to the host computer. The 80C86's also manage the local trigger conditions and can perform some parallel processing of the data. Due to the scale of the system and multiplicity of identical channels, semi-custom gate array chips are used for much of the logic, utilizing 2.5 micron CMOS technology.
