Remarks on double poles and non-exponential decays
The model of an unstable particle with two internal states, which are able to change from one into the other, is analyzed with the help of the formalism outlined generally in the papers by J. Jersák: Jader fiz. (in press) and M. Lokajíček: Czech. J. Phys.B 19 (1969), 925. This formalism is developed further.

Performance of the Totem Detectors at the LHC
The TOTEM Experiment is designed to measure the total proton–proton cross-section with the luminosity-independent method and to study elastic and diffractive pp scattering at the LHC. To achieve optimum forward coverage for charged particles emitted by the pp collisions in the interaction point IP5, two tracking telescopes, T1 and T2, are installed on each side of the IP in the pseudorapidity region 3.1≤|η|≤6.5, and special movable beam-pipe insertions — called Roman Pots (RP) — are placed at distances of ±147 m and ±220 m from IP5. This article describes in detail the working of the TOTEM detector to produce physics results in the first three years of operation and data taking at the LHC.

The unstable system withN states and the propagator matrix with a pole of higher order
Starting from the general quantum-mechanical laws, the general form of the mass-matrix for a special unstable system withN states and of the propagator with higher order pole is derived.

High-Energy Elastic Scattering and Nucleon Structure
The current model of elastic nucleon scattering based on hadronic amplitude with dominant imaginary part is still made use of in analyses of measured data even if it involves assumptions being not in harmony with known experimental facts. These assumptions are critically examined and a more general model is considered. Possible consequences following for elastic and diffractive production channels from such a model approach are discussed. An opaque nucleon structure against a transparent one is shown to be preferred.

Momentum-transfer dependence of the elastic-amplitude phase in high-energy hadron scattering.
The phase of the elastic-scattering amplitude is responsible for the probability distribution of events in the impact-parameter space. A rather steep increase of it around t = 0 can lead to a peripheral behavior of elastic collisions. The experimental data from the interference regions of hadronic and Coulomb scatterings have been shown to be fully consistent with such a peripherality. Other reasons supporting peripherality have been mentioned, also.

Test of a compact Si-strip detector for the forward region in DELPHI
Abstract The DELPHI detector will be upgraded by a new silicon detector in the very forward region to fulfil the physics demands of the LEP200 program. This detector will cover the angular region between 10° and 25° with respect to the beam pipe and will have a two dimensional readout. The severe space restrictions in this region lead us to develop a new arrangement of detectors and electronic hybrids. In beam tests the layout of the detectors was optimised. Special attention was given to the charge loss in intermediate strips for detectors with large strip pitch. Beam test results obtained with different detector layouts, e.g. various implant widths, and different angle of the incident particles will be shown.

Experience with a 30 cm2 silicon pixel plane in CERN experiment WA97
Abstract A multi-chip, large area hybrid silicon pixel detector has been integrated in a particle physics experiment for the first time. The plane had 72K 75 μ m × 500 μ m sensor elements, covering a total area of about 30 cm 2 . It was constructed and characterized in a collaboration between heavy-ion experiment WA97 and R&D project RD19. Several such planes will be incorporated in a hyperon telescope, in order to improve tracking in the high multiplicity environment of central lead-lead collisions at the SPS. Results on the characterization of this detector in a proton beam at the Omega spectrometer at CERN are presented and discussed.

Monitoring setup of Prague T2 site
Quality monitoring is a crucial part in struggle for reliability of every Tier 2 site. We present a solution based on Nagios installation in Prague. Our solution includes both third party and in-house developed add-ons and plug-ins. We focus on integrating results from grid-wise monitoring tools (such as SAM or Gstat) at one place (our Nagios instance). We also present an automated way to generate configuration files for Nagios from local database of hardware and services.
