Because the experimental efficiency calibration is limited to several measurement geometries and cannot be applied directly to all measurement configurations, the efficiency transfer method for the efficiency computation was applied using ETNA software. An approach using efficiencies measured with point sources combined with theoretical procedures was applied for obtaining the peak efficiency ε...

The Interaction Point (IP) feedback system is essential for maintaining the luminosity at the International Linear Collider (ILC). It is necessary to demonstrate the performance of the feedback beam position monitor (BPM) in an electron-positron pair background similar to that expected in the ILC interaction region (IR). We have simulated the ILC beam-beam interactions and used a GEANT model of...

In this paper we describe the multi-domain information exchange aspects of the AutoBAHN tool, which is used for implementing a Bandwidth on Demand service as part of the GEANT project. This project was driven by the increasing demand for reliable and guaranteed data transportation for scientific purposes. In order to implement the process of information exchange in a multidomain heterogeneous e...

The Voxel Imaging PET (VIP) Pathfinder project intends to show the advantages of using pixelated semiconductor technology for nuclear medicine applications to achieve an improved image reconstruction without efficiency loss. It proposes designs for Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Positron Emission Mammography (PEM) and Compton gamma camera detectors with a large number of signal channels (o...

A large acceptance scintillator detector with wavelength shifting optical fibre readout has been designed and built to detect the decay particles of η-nucleus bound system (the so-called η-mesic nuclei), namely, protons and pions. The detector, named as ENSTAR detector, consists of 122 pieces of plastic scintillator of various shapes and sizes, which are arranged in a cylindrical geometry to pr...

The boron neutron capture therapy is mainly suited in the treatment of some tumor kinds which revealed ineffective to the traditional radiotherapy. In order to take advantage of such a therapeutic modality in hospital environments, neutron beams of suitable energy and flux levels provided by compact size facilities are needed. The advantages and drawbacks of several neutron beams are here analy...

Intense and complex instrumental backgrounds, against which the much smaller signals from celestial sources have to be discerned, are a notorious problem for low and intermediate energy γ-ray astronomy (∼ 50 keV – 10 MeV). Therefore a detailed qualitative and quantitative understanding of instrumental line and continuum backgrounds is crucial for most stages of γ-ray astronomy missions, ranging...

Many studies in literature have shown that energy-aware routing (EAR) can significantly reduce energy consumption for backbone networks. Also, as an arising concern in networking research area, the protocol-independent tra c redundancy elimination (RE) technique helps to reduce (a.k.a compress) tra c load on backbone network. Motivation from a formulation perspective, we first present an extend...

Information centric networking (ICN) aims to transform today’s Internet from a host-centric model to a content-centric one by caching content internally within the network at storage-enabled nodes. Recently, multiple routing and cache management strategies have been proposed [ 1 ,2,3,4,5,6] to improve the userlevel performance, primarily latency in ICN. In this paper, we define latency as the d...

CHORUS is an experiment primarily designed to search for νμ → ντ oscillations in the CERN wide-band neutrino beam. It also aims to investigate a wide range of charm physics. In four years of exposure, more than 10 neutrino interactions have been accumulated in the emulsion target, out of which several thousands lead to the production of a charmed particle. Using its massive calorimeter as a tar...
