Self-reciprocal irreducible monic (srim) polynomials over finite fields have been studied in the past. These polynomials can be studied in the context of quadratic transformation of irreducible polynomials over finite fields. In this talk we present the generalization of some of the results known about srim polynomials to polynomials obtained by quadratic transformation of irreducible polynomia...

With the rapid advances being made in novel high-energy ion-beam techniques such as proton beam writing, single-ion-event effects, ion-beam-radiation therapy, ion-induced fluorescence imaging, proton/ion microscopy, and ion-induced electron imaging, it is becoming increasingly important to understand the spatial energydeposition profiles of energetic ions as they penetrate matter. In this work ...

Nuclear fusion is a promising source of clean energy that can be one of the key future suppliers of the world’s increasing power demand. One of today’s main challenges faced by scientists and engineers regarding nuclear reactors is to design plasma-facing components (PFCs) that can withstand extreme conditions of temperature, pressure, and ions/particles irradiation. Material evolution and dama...

The electric properties of polymers are increasingly important in a wide range applications such as sensors, energy storages, microelectronics, and filtration membranes among others. In this work, the effect multi-energetic Au ion implantation on graphene oxide (GO), polyimide (PI), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polylactide (PLLA) elemental, chemical, structural end is presented with potenti...

Measurements of the quenching factor for sodium recoils in a 5 cm diameter NaI(Tl) crystal at room temperature have been made at a dedicated neutron facility at the University of Sheffield. The crystal has been exposed to 2.45 MeV mono-energetic neutrons generated by a Sodern GENIE 16 neutron generator, yielding nuclear recoils of energies between 10 and 100 keVnr. A cylindrical BC501A detector...

An algorithm has been developed for the GEANT4 Monte-Carlo package for the efficient computation of screened Coulomb interatomic scattering. It explicitly integrates the classical equations of motion for scattering events, resulting in precise tracking of both the projectile and the recoil target nucleus. The algorithm permits the user to plug in an arbitrary screening function, such as Lens-Je...
