Development of a data acquisition system for the SPHERE spectrometer
Abstract The 4π-detector SPHERE for studying multiple particle cumulative production is currently under construction at the Laboratory of High Energies, JINR, Dubna. This paper briefly describes the present status and future developments of the data acquisition system for this setup. A multiprocessor system based on VMEbus will be implemented for parallel readout, event-building, and data preprocessing. A workstation will be used for data analysis and experimental control. The investigation has been performed at the Laboratory of High Energies, JINR.

Architecture of data-acquisition systems for high-energy physics experiments
In this review we discuss the evolution of the basic principles of the architecture of data-acquisition systems for experimental setups used in high-energy physics and relativistic nuclear physics during the last 25 years. The effect of the latest advances in computational techniques and communications, such as microprocessors and open bus system standards, on improving data recording and acquisition is discussed. The evolution of data-acquisition systems is illustrated by examples of developments occurring at the leading physics centers and at the Laboratory of High Energy Physics, JINR, Dubna. The trends in the future development of data-acquisition systems are described for the research programs at the LHCcollider, CERN, and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Ultraviolet renormalons in Abelian gauge theories
We analyze the large-order behaviour in perturbation theory of classes of diagrams with an arbitrary number of chains (i.e. photon lines, dressed by vacuum polarization insertions). We derive explicit formulae for the leading and subleading divergence as n, the order in perturbation theory, tends to infinity, and a complete result for the vacuum polarization at the next-to-leading order in an expansion in l / N f, where N f is the number of fermion species. In general, diagrams with more chains yield stronger divergence. We define an analogue of the familiar diagrammatic R-operation, which extracts ultraviolet renormalon counterterms as insertions of higher-dimension operators. We then use renormalization group equations to sum the leading (in n/ N f ) k corrections to all orders in l INf and find the asymptotic behaviour in n up to a constant that must be calculated explicitly order by order in 1/Nf.

Subleading Sudakov logarithms in electroweak processes
Abstract Recent results for the asymptotic behavior of fermion scattering amplitudes in the Sudakov limit are presented including next-to-leading logarithmic corrections. These are used for the analysis of the dominant electroweak corrections to the fermion-antifermion pair production in e+e−annihilation at high energy.

ARES — a spectrometer for the investigation of rare particle decays and rare nuclear processes
Abstract A magnetic spectrometer intended for a wide range of investigations of rare particle and nuclear processes is described. The spectrometer consists of cylindrical proportional chambers (∼ 15000 signal wires) with gas supply and gas leakage systems, cylindrical scintillation hodoscopes, a magnet, electronics with power supplies, and a data acquisition system. Basic characteristics of the spectrometer are discussed and results of first physics experiments are presented.
