Mössbauer spectroscopy (MS) is named after Rudolf L. Mössbauer (1929-2011) who found the effect in 1957 and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery in 1961. MS makes use of recoilless nuclear resonance fluorescence of gamma rays…

Data Quality Monitoring (DQM) is an important aspect of every high-energy physics experiment. In the era of LHC, when the detectors are extremely sophisticated devices, an online feedback on the quality of the data recorded is needed to avoid taking…
