In this thesis we evaluate the potential of the Early Separation Scheme for the Luminosity Upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The main goal of the Early Separation Scheme is to reduce the crossing angle between the proton beams at the collision po ...
This thesis was carried out in the frame of the European project DetectHIV aiming the development of a new biosensor platform for the highly sensitive detection of the HIV capsid protein p24. We explore the implementation of a magnetic bead-based lab-on-a- ...
The ever increasing demand for large quantities of bio-engineered pharmaceuticals and the tendency for doses to become larger stimulate the development of more productive and reliable mammalian cell culture technologies. In this context, perfusion bioreact ...
Grégory Savioz is working in collaboration with Logitech. The goal of his work is to develop a "haptique" keyboard. A functional prototype of one key was already realized. Till now a hall sensor was used to measure the position of the key. The prototype co ...
A Magnetic Switchable Device (MSD) is a ferromagnetic circuit using permanent magnets where the flux can circulate between different paths when its configuration is changed. This routes or cancels the flux through specific surfaces, and thus turns on or of ...
Electromagnetic techniques present definite advantages for Non Destructive Testing such as no need for surface couplant, potential for miniaturization, and fast scanning rates. They suffer, however, from a lack of reliability when crack sizing capabilities ...
Finite element numerical simulations were carried out in 2D geometries to map the magnetic field and force distribution produced by rectangular permanent magnets as a function of their size and position with respect to a microchannel. A single magnet, two ...
In a rotary magnetic refrigerator a porous ring is turning in and out of a magnetic field region. The adiabatic demagnetization of the magnetocaloric material produces the "cold energy". This is described by a discontinuous temperature decrease, known as a ...
The phase I LHC upgrade foresees the installation of a new final focusing for the high luminosity experiences in order to be able to focus the beams in the interaction points to ß* 0.25 cm. Key element of this upgrade is a large bore (120 mm) superconducti ...
In one of its acceptation, the word quench is synonym of destruction. And this is even more consistent with reality in the case of the Large Hadron Collider dipole magnets, whose magnetic field and stored energy are unprecedented: the uncontrolled transiti ...
