Results from the CDMS 5-Tower Operation

چکیده
Astrophysical observations strongly suggest that non-luminous, nonbaryonic components, so called ”Dark Matter”, may constitute most of the matter in the Universe. The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) experiment is designed to detect Dark Matter interaction events through nuclear recoils from elastic scattering. The detector is capable of reading out both phonon and ionization energy of an interaction in Ge or Si crystals. We present results from the CDMS five-tower detector arrays. The data were collected in the period between October 2006 and July 2007 (with an effective exposure of 121.3 kg-days). No WIMP signal was observed. The results, when combined with previous CDMS Soudan data, set a 90% confidence level upper bound on the WIMP-nucleon cross section of 4.6× 10 cm at 60 Gev/c WIMP mass.

Effect of Wind on Thermal Performance of Heller Dry Cooling Tower
In a steam power plant, the temperature of the cooling water leaving the condenser for recyclingshould decrease. This is achieved in a cooling tower. The Heller cooling tower does not require waterfor operation, thus, it is a suitable system for use in thermal power plants throughout Iran. Wind is anenvironmental factor that unfavorably affects the performance of a cooling tower. Previous studi...
متن کاملEffect of Ambient Condition on the Shower Cooling Tower in Four Type of Climates Condition
Water cooling by ambient takes place with two mechanisms of heat and mass transfer. Using packings at wet cooling towers has disadvantages such as obstruction, reduction of life expectancy and production of algae and fungi. In shower cooling towers types of towers packings are completely removed and water intake is in direct contact and heat transfer takes place in two ways of latent and sensib...

Today, urbanization (living at apartments) phenomenon as the most common type of residence of cities has been changed so that mainly reflects the chaos in this area. Too much attention paid to economic indicators compromised the balance in the housing sector and created a new type of buildings.

متن کاملBumpless Transfer of Parametrized Multivariable Disturbance Observer Based Controller to Reduce Cyclic Loads of Wind Turbine
This paper is concerned with bump-less transfer of parametrized disturbance observer 1 based controller (DOBC) with Individual Pitch Control (IPC) strategy for full load operation of wind 2 turbine. Aerodynamic cyclic loads are reduced by tuning multivariable DOBC with the objective 3 to reduce output power fluctuation, tower oscillation and drive-train torsion. Furthermore tower 4 shadow and w...
