Abstract A high-flow radon removal system based on cryogenic distillation was developed and constructed to reduce radon-induced backgrounds in liquid xenon detectors for rare event searches such as XENONnT. continuous purification of the XENONnT inventory 8.4 tonnes at process flows up 71 kg/h (200 slpm) is required achieve a reduction by factor larger than two sources inside detector. To reach...

The Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm (SPEA) (Zitzler and Thiele 1999) is a relatively recent technique for finding or approximating the Pareto-optimal set for multiobjective optimization problems. In different studies (Zitzler and Thiele 1999; Zitzler, Deb, and Thiele 2000) SPEA has shown very good performance in comparison to other multiobjective evolutionary algorithms, and therefore it...

Context Recent national reports (National Academy of Engineering, 2003; National Academy of Engineering, 2004; National Academy of Engineering, 2005) highlight the importance of promoting the development of ethical behavior among undergraduates. Academic dishonesty (i.e., cheating) provides one measure of ethical behavior, and it is particularly problematic on college campuses, with upwards of ...
