Evaluation of neutron dose rates at the TCV tokamak facility

Patrick Blanchard, Henri Weisen, Matteo Vallar

A detailed MCNP neutronics model of the building housing the TCV tokamak has been developed. Predicted dose rates have been compared to neutron dose measurements at 12 locations in the building obtained during neutral beam injection into TCV plasmas. This ...

Effect of Co-Substitution on Hydrogen Absorption and Desorption Reactions of YMgNi4-Based Alloys

Andreas Züttel, Wen Luo, Heena Yang

YMgNi4-based alloys exhibit reversible hydrogen absorption and desorption reactions at near room temperature. Here, we report that Co-substituted YMgNi4-based alloys exhibited higher hydrogen contents and lower hydrogen absorption and desorption reaction p ...

Microlens-enhanced silicon photomultiplier arrays for LHCb SciFi Tracker Upgrade Ib

Olivier Schneider, Guido Haefeli, Ettore Zaffaroni, Carina Trippl

A large-scale Scintillating Fibre Tracker has been developed and constructed for the current LHCb Upgrade 1. The high radiation by fast neutrons reduces the light yield of the detector in the course of LHC Run 3, and is challenging the tracker's hit detect ...

Convergence of random walks with Markovian cookie stacks to Brownian motion perturbed at extrema

Thomas Mountford

We consider one-dimensional excited random walks (ERWs) with i.i.d. Markovian cookie stacks in the non-boundary recurrent regime. We prove that under diffusive scaling such an ERW converges in the standard Skorokhod topology to a multiple of Brownian motio ...
