EPFL2024Transport of dust across the Solar System: Constraints on the spatial origin of individual micrometeorites from cosmic-ray exposure
Reto Georg Trappitsch, Xuan Li
The origin of micrometeorites (MMs) from asteroids and comets is well-established, but the relative contribution from these two classes remains poorly resolved. Likewise, determining the precise origin of individual MMs is an open challenge. Here, cosmic-r ...
Royal Soc2024Establishment of a Therapeutic Ratio for Gamma Knife Radiosurgery of Trigeminal Neuralgia: The Critical Importance of Biologically Effective Dose Versus Physical Dose
OBJECTIVE: How variations of treatment time affect the safety and efficacy of Gamma Knife (GK) radiosurgery is a matter of considerable debate. With the relative simplicity of treatment planning for trigeminal neuralgia (TN), this question has been address ...

Urban areas are facing a growing deployment of solar photovoltaic and thermal technologies on building envelopes, both on roofs and on façades. An effective solar energy planning process considers social acceptance, in relation to the landscape alteration ...
2018Experimental and Numerical Characterization of a New 45 kWel Multisource High-Flux Solar Simulator
Sophia Haussener, Gaël Jean Clément Levêque
The performance of a new high-flux solar simulator consisting of 18 × 2.5 kWel radiation modules has been evaluated. Grayscale images of the radiative flux distribution at the focus are acquired for each module individually using a water-cooled Lambertian ...
Optical Society of America2016Methylammonium Lead Iodide for Efficient X-ray Energy Conversion
László Forró, Endre Horvath, Bálint Náfrádi
We report on photocurrent generation by X-ray irradiation in methylammonium lead iodide CH3NH3PbI3 single crystals. We observed 75% of charge collection efficiency in millimeter sized samples. This efficiency is partially due to the high photon absorption ...
