An iron sampling calorimeter with warm-liquid ionization chambers has been tested at the CERN SPS in order to study the signal development and to verify the energy calibration of the hadron calorimeter in the KASCADE-Grande air shower experiment. The absolute energy calibration of the detectors is discussed. Results of the analysis of the lateral and longitudinal shower development in the calor...

Introduction In December 2003 GSI was given the first step of approval by the Hesse Ministry for environment to build the new international accelerator facility for beams of ions and antiprotons [1]. This approval was passed after the assessment by the radiation protection experts TÜV [2]. In order to meet the requirements to build the facilities for the FAIR project [3] shielding calculations ...

1.1 Materials: Diamino-polyethylene glycol with MW 2000 Da (PEG2000) was purchased from Rapp Polymer. (3-Glycidoxypropyl)trimethoxysilane (GOPTS) was purchased from Fluka. EZ-Link NHSBiotin was purchased from Thermo Scientific. Hydrogen peroxide (30% solution), Acetone, Dichloromethane and N, N-Dimethylformamide were purchased from Merck. Imidazole and 2-[4-(2hydroxyethyl) piperazin-1-yl]ethane...

The concept of Virtual Monte Carlo (VMC) has been developed by the ALICE Software Project to allow different Monte Carlo simulation programs to run without changing the user code, such as the geometry definition, the detector response simulation or input and output formats. Recently, the VMC classes have been integrated into the ROOT framework, and the other relevant packages have been separate...

LCLS Matter in Extreme Conditions (MEC) Instrument is an X-ray instrument that will be able to create and diagnose High Energy Density (HED) matter. The MEC laser system can generate hard X-ray due to the interaction of the laser and the plasma. This paper summarizes results of the shielding calculations performed to evaluate the radiation hazards induced by this hard X-ray source with Monte Ca...

Propylamino-functionalized mesoporous thin films were synthesized via co-condensation of the oxide precursor tetraethoxysilane (TEOS, Merck) and the amine precursor 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES, Fluka 98%) in the presence of the template (F127 block copolymer, Aldrich, Mw ~13600). The precursor solution was prepared using 0.8 TEOS:0.2 APTES:0.005 F127:24 EtOH:5.2 H2O:0.28 HCl. This solut...

This paper provides an overview of the most important radiation issues at the CMS experiment at LHC and gives a review of the simulations performed and the main results obtained with the FLUKA code during the last three years. The main emphasis is put on recent results, reported in the CMS Technical Proposal or those obtained thereafter. It is shown that for most of the CMS subdetectors proper ...

We have analyzed the consequences of introducing the local density approximation combined with an effective nuclear momentum-dependent potential into the CC quasi-elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering. We note that the distribution of the recoil nucleons momenta becomes smooth for low momentum values and the sharp threshold is removed. Our results may be relevant for Sci-Fi detector analysis of K...

A simple analytical formulas for estimation of the yield and angular distribution neutrons from thick targets would be useful calculating biological protection heavy ion accelerators with energy (1–6) MeV/nucleon. The results calculation this were compared those obtained using LISE++ FLUKA programs as well available experimental data. As a result, it can stated that proposed method used quick a...
