Lateral Distribution Studies for the PACT Experiment
نویسنده
چکیده
Monte Carlo calculations have been done to study the possibilities of using different spatial distributions, local fluctuations and the number of Cerenkov photons in gamma ray showers to increase the sensitivity of the PACT experiment. After matching the trigger rates in data with the predictions of simulations, the energy threshold of the array for gamma rays is found to be about 900 GeV. It is shown that a lateral distribution parameter β can increase the signal to noise ratio in the experiment. A typical season of 15 nights should be able to conclusively establish any source with Crab level fluxes. Two other possible parameters for increase of sensitivity are also discussed. Preliminary results on the application of the β parameter to the data from PACT experiment are discussed.

Experimental Comparison of Two Modifications of Activated Sludge for Treatment of Furfural-Containing Wastewater
A case study is presented in which two modifications of activated sludge treatment of complex chemical wastewater are experimentally compared: a combination of common activated sludge with powdered activated carbon treatment (PACT), and bioaugmentation of activated sludge treatment (BAST). Industrial wastewater of Pars Oil Refinery that was passed through an oil recovery stage was used to inve...
متن کاملAn investigation of using hump in the Cherenkov photon lateral distribution for Gamma-Hadron separation
Simulation of gamma and hadron showers in the energy range 100GeV- 25TeV has been carried out. For a big ideal Cherenkov light array, characteristics of lateral distribution of Cherenkov photon density have been studied. Results from this ideal detector are compared with those simulated for a real TUNKA- like array to investigate experimental potential of using existence of a hump in lateral di...
متن کاملA study on the lateral distribution of Cherenkov light in extensive air showers
The dependence of the lateral distribution of Cherenkov light in simulated extensive air showers to the energy and the mass of the primary cosmic rays has been studied. It has been shown that a previous claim about mass independent proportionality of shower energy to the total Cherenkov photon number is not valid in energies below EEAS ~ 1014 eV. We have found that the core distance of the so c...
متن کاملNew Lateral Force Distribution for Seismic Design of Structures Based on Seismic Demand Ratio
The design of earthquake-resistant buildings starts with defining the maximum lateral earthquake forces or their resultant. The amount of these forces depends on various factors, including coefficient of system behavior which depends on overstrength and its ductility. In this study, a method is presented for designing an earthquake-resistant system in which the distribution of lateral forces is...
متن کاملEvaluation of herbal formulation PACT for wound healing potential
The present manuscript was mainly focused to evaluate the multiherbal formulation PACT (containing extracts of Pongamia pinnata Linn., Artocarpus lakoocha, Cynodon dactylon Pers. and Tridax procumbens Linn.) for wound healing potential employing two common wound models i.e. excision wound and incision wound models. The wound contraction area and epithelialization period was measured in excision...
