Linac accelerators based on independently phased resonators require precise phase shifters to setup the reference phase of each cavity with respect to the master oscillator. In a linac like ALPI, that has more than 80 resonators in operation (including those of the new PIAVE injector), the cost of such phase shifters represents a significant fraction of the cost of the overall RF control system...

In this paper we brefly describe an experimental study of the role of the parasitic transistor on the charge generation phenomenon observed during the impact of heavy ions on medium voltage power MOSFET [1-5]. We observed that new generation power MOSFETs reveal, during single event impact, a premature damage of the gate structure before a typical burnout occurrence. The damage is related to th...

Many diverse endeavors and products ranging from ion channel research, to tissueengineering, to biosensors, to clinical diagnostics, to home pregnancy tests rely heavilyon creating highly localized areas of specific biological activity on a surface. Creating this bio-functionalized surface as part of an integrated microfluidic system thatcan withstand the rigors of further manufactu...

The neutron spectrometer discussed here consists of a windowless PIN diode coupled with a polyethylene converter (thickness 1 mm). Neutrons are detected through the recoil-protons generated in the converter via elastic scattering. The response functions composing the response matrix for unfolding the spectra of energy Ed deposited in silicon by recoil-protons were determined analytically [1]. T...
