Performance evaluation of radon active sensors and passive dosimeters at low and high radon concentrations

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that has the potential to accumulate in buildings and over time, causes lung cancer in humans. Present methods for radon measurements are disparate, which pose challenges to benchmark radon concentrations and ...

Data-Driven Predictive Models: Calculational Bias in Characterization of Spent Nuclear Fuel

Characteristics of the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) are typically calculated, requiring validation a priori. The validation process relies on the difference between calculations and measurements, namely the bias. Usually, predicting the bias based on benchmark ...

Observation of B+ -> p(Lambda)over-barK(+) K- and B+ -> (p)over-bar Lambda K+ K+

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Sun Hee Kim, Tara Nanut, Jun Yong Kim, Ji Hyun Kim, Donghyun Kim, Xiao Wang, Lei Li

We report the study of B+ -> p (Lambda) over barK(+)K(-) and B+ -> (p) over barK(+)K(+) decays using a 772 x 10(6) B (B) over bar pair data sample recorded on the gamma(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at KEKB. The following branching fractions are me ...

Combined Optical Coherence and Fluorescence Microscopy to assess dynamics and specificity of pancreatic beta-cell tracers

Theo Lasser, Christophe Pache, Anne Grapin-Botton, Arno Pino Bouwens, Daniel Pawel Szlag, Corinne Berclaz, Antonio Lopez

The identification of a beta-cell tracer is a major quest in diabetes research. However, since MRI, PET and SPECT cannot resolve individual islets, optical techniques are required to assess the specificity of these tracers. We propose to combine Optical Co ...

Desorption Dynamics of Heavy Alkali Metal Atoms (Rb, Cs) Off the Surface of Helium Nanodroplets

We present a combined ion imaging and density functional theory study of the dynamics of the desorption process of rubidium and cesium atoms off the surface of helium nanodroplets upon excitation of the perturbed 6s and 7s states, respectively. Both experi ...

Testing of RF 100 m TF Qualification Conductor in the SULTAN Test Facility

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Boris Stepanov

A conductor for ITER toroidal field (TF) coils is the cable-in-conduit conductor (CICC) type, which is made of Nb3Sn superconducting strands encased in a stainless steel tubular jacket. A 120-m-long prototype has been designed in accordance with ITER requi ...

Physical aspects of colossal dielectric constant material CaCu3Ti4O12 thin films

Paul Muralt

The underlying physical mechanism of the so-called colossal dielectric constant phenomenon in CaCu3Ti4O12 CCTO thin films were investigated by using semiconductor theories and methods. The semiconductivity of CCTO thin films originated from the acceptor de ...

Validation of 134Cs, 137Cs and 154Eu single ratios as burnup monitors for ultra-high burnup UO2 fuel

Rakesh Chawla, Stefano Caruso, Fabian Jatuff

A measurement station has been built for the non-destructive investigation of burnt fuel rod segments through high-resolution gamma spectrometry. Four UO2 pressurised water reactor fuel rod segments with different burnup levels between 50 and 100GWd/t and ...

Characterisation of high-burnup LWR fuel rods through gamma tomography

Stefano Caruso

Current fuel management strategies for light water reactors (LWRs), in countries with high back-end costs, progressively extend the discharge burnup at the expense of increasing the 235U enrichment of the fresh UO2 fuel loaded. In this perspective, standar ...
