High intensity profile monitor for time resolved spectrometry at the CLIC Test Facility 3

The power source of the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) relies on the generation and deceleration of a high-intensity electron drive beam. In order to provide the best radio-frequency (RF) to beam-energy transfer efficiency, the electron beam is accelerated ...

Global spectroscopy of the water monomer

Given the large energy required for its electronic excitation, the most important properties of the water molecule are governed by its ground potential energy surface (PES). Novel experiments are now able to probe this surface over a very extended energy r ...

Experimental proposal Test of radiation protection instrumentation in HiRadMat

Nikolaos Charitonidis, Marco Silari

The knowledge of the response of radiation protection detectors in pulsed fields is very important, since this is a typical condition often encountered with stray radiation fields around particle accelerators at CERN and elsewhere. This document presents a ...

Modern electron microscopy resolved in space, energy and time

Fabrizio Carbone

Recent pioneering experiments combining ultrafast lasers with electron-based technology demonstrated the possibility to obtain real-time information about chemical bonds and their dynamics during reactions and phase transformation. These techniques have be ...

Inelastic Scatterings and Applications to Distributed Sensing

Luc Thévenaz

Inelastic scatterings turn out to occupy an essential place in sensing applications, since they simply require a plain optical fibre as sensing element, with no special preparation. They give rise to energy and momentum transfers with the fibre material an ...

Refined Monte Carlo analysis of the H.B. Robinson-2 reactor pressure vessel dosimetry benchmark

Rakesh Chawla, Hakim Ferroukhi, Alexander Vasiliev

Refined analysis, based on use of the Monte Carlo code MCNPX-2.4.0, is presented for the "H.B. Robinson-2 pressure vessel dosimetry benchmark", which is a part of the Radiation Shielding and Dosimetry Experiments Database (SINBAD). First, the performance o ...

Effects of Radiation on MEMS

Herbert Shea

The sensitivity of MEMS devices to radiation is reviewed, with an emphasis on radiation levels representative of space missions. While silicon and metals generally do not show mechanical degradation at the radiation levels encountered in most missions, MEM ...

Displacement damage effects in silicon MEMS at high proton doses

Herbert Shea, Joao Gomes Pereira Junior

We report on a study of the sensitivity of silicon MEMS to proton radiation and mitigation strategies. MEMS systems can degrade due to ionizing radiation (electron-hole pair creation) and non-ionizing radiation (displacement damage), such as electrons, tra ...

A transparent vacuum window for high-intensity pulsed beams

Juan Blanco Sancho

The HiRadMat (High-Radiation to Materials) facility will allow testing of accelerator components, in particular those of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, under the impact of high-intensity pulsed beams. To reach this intensity range, the beam will ...

Imaging with second-harmonic radiation probes in living tissue

Demetri Psaltis, Ye Pu, Rachel Grange, Chia-Lung Hsieh, Thomas Jean Victor Marie Lanvin

We demonstrate that second-harmonic radiation imaging probes are efficient biomarkers for imaging in living tissue. We show that 100 nm and 300 nm BaTiO3 nanoparticles used as contrast markers could be detected through 50 mu m and 120 mu m of mouse tail ti ...
