A novel optical fiber sensor for gas temperature monitoring in chemically pollutted environments

Abstract

A novel optical fiber sensor for the monitoring of gas temperature is presented. Test results in controlled environment are presented and applications in both industrial and research environments are discussed. The sensor will be proposed for implementation in the real time monitoring of temperature and environmental variables for the improvement of the gas system knowledge and optimization of the muon detector based on Resistive Plate Counters (RPC) of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accelerator of CERN, Geneva (Switzerland).
