In the present article, we detail the method used to experimentally determine the power of the CROCUS zero-power reactor, and to subsequently calibrate its ex-core monitor fission chambers. Knowledge of the reactor power is a mandatory quantity for a safe ...
A Scintillating Fibre Tracker with timing information was developed by LPHE at EPFL. To evaluate its timing and tracking performance, a test beam campaign was organized at DESY in October 2019. By using this data, the different time delays and offsets that ...
Hall effect based Teslameters/Gaussmeters measure DC and AC magnetic flux densities in the range from a few mu T to about 30 T. For accurate measurement a 3-axis Hall probe is applied with small magnetic field sensitive volume (MFSV) of 100 mu m x 10 mu m ...
Forster (or fluorescence) resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a quantifiable energy transfer in which a donor fluorophore nonradiatively transfers its excitation energy to an acceptor fluorophore. A change in FRET efficiency indicates a change of proximity ...
The accuracy required for a correct interpretation of differential reflectivity (ZDR) is typically estimated to be between 0.1 and 0.2 dB. This is achieved through calibration, defined as the identification of the constant or time-varying offset to be subt ...
Steel beam-columns subjected to cyclic loading (such as during earthquakes) may exhibit local buckling, which results in effective cross-sectional softening and localization of deformation. These phenomena are critical from the standpoint of performance an ...

The recent burgeoning interest in massive multiobject spectroscopy has pushed the development of massive optical fiber positioning systems. These systems rely on precise fiber placement to detect the light spectra of many stars and galaxies. One successful ...
A three-dimensional hydrodynamic Z-model was conceived for Lake Zurich (Switzerland, ZH) using the modeling software Delft3D. Calibration was performed on the thermal profile in 2017 at three monitoring stations located in both basins, and was validated on ...
The use of a Bayesian filter (e.g., Kalman filter) for the fusion of information from satellite positioning and inertial navigation is a common approach in many applications, where the knowledge of position, velocity, and attitude in space are of great int ...
