The CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will store 2808 bunches per colliding beam, each bunch consisting of 1011 protons at an energy of 7 TeV. If there is a failure in an element of the accelerator, the resulting beam losses could cause damages not only to ...
The retention behaviour of fission products in the material is therefore of special importance. 1 MeV iodine and cesium ions were implanted into yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and their depth profile was measured by Rutherford Backscattering after subseq ...
In the present work, we theoretically investigate the intersubband relaxation of electrons in quantum well systems during photoexcitation using an ensemble Monte Carlo approach. In particular, we compare with recent experimental results by Hartig et al. (P ...
Firsts results on particle detection using a novel silicon pixel detector are presented. The sensor consists of an array of 48 square pixels with 380 μm pitch based on a n-i-p hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) film deposited on top of a VLSI chip. Th ...
A study was conducted on the effects of compositional modifications on the temperature coefficient of resonance frequency (TCF) in the disc planar vibration mode for the bismuth layer-structured compound SrBi2Nb2O9 (SBN)-based ceramics. The substitution of ...
Highly selective separation of yttrium (and lanthanides) is of interest for the design of radiopharmaceuticals, and an efficient method based on the ion-imprinting concept is proposed here. The synthesis and structural, thermodynamic and photophysical char ...
Zirconium is employed as the 'inert' component in several different inert matrix fuel concepts currently under development (cermet, oxide solution, etc.). Relative to the situation in standard light water reactors, this implies a very significant increase ...
