Readout of GEM Detectors Using the Medipix2 CMOS Pixel Chip [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We have operated a Medipix2 CMOS readout chip, with amplifying, shaping and charge discriminating front-end electronics integrated on the pixel-level, as a highly segmented direct charge collecting anode in a three-stage gas electron multiplier (Triple ...

Fine Powder Proportional Counters for Neutron Detection

open access: yesU.Porto Journal of Engineering, 2022
A novel neutron detection approach is presented, consisting of a neutron sensitive aerosol obtained by dispersing B4C fine powder in a gaseous proportional counter operating in continuous flow, which proved to effectively detect thermal neutrons.

Neutrinos from beta processes in a presupernova: probing the isotopic evolution of a massive star [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We present a new calculation of the neutrino flux received at Earth from a massive star in the $\sim 24$ hours of evolution prior to its explosion as a supernova (presupernova).

AlGaAs 55Fe X-ray radioisotope microbattery [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
AbstractThis paper describes the performance of a fabricated prototype Al0.2Ga0.8As 55Fe radioisotope microbattery photovoltaic cells over the temperature range −20 °C to 50 °C. Two 400 μm diameter p+-i-n+ (3 μm i-layer) Al0.2Ga0.8As mesa photodiodes were used as conversion devices in a novel X-ray microbattery prototype.

Application of the time-dependent charge asymmetry method for longitudinal position determination in prototype proportional chambers for the PANDA experiment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The PANDA collaboration intends to build a state-of-the-art detector to study the physics of antiproton annihilation in the charm mass region at the future FAIR facility at GSI, Darmstadt.

Transitions between analogue states of 55Fe

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 1971
Abstract Gamma-ray transitions have been observed between states in 55Co which are identified as analogues of states of 55Fe. A comparison of the transition probabilities shows that the states in 55Co have mixed isospin.

Temperature effects on an InGaP (GaInP) 55Fe X-ray photovoltaic cell

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
This paper investigates the effects of temperature on an InGaP (GaInP) 55Fe X-ray photovoltaic cell prototype for a radioisotope microbattery (also called a nuclear microbattery).

The reduced genome of the Francisella tularensis live vaccine strain (LVS) encodes two iron acquisition systems essential for optimal growth and virulence.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Bacterial pathogens require multiple iron-specific acquisition systems for survival within the iron-limiting environment of the host. Francisella tularensis is a virulent intracellular pathogen that can replicate in multiple cell-types.

Reaction mechanisms in the 6Li+ 52Cr system

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
Reactions induced by the weakly bound 6Li projectile interacting with the intermediate mass target 52Cr are investigated. The choice of this particular reaction in our study is because it is proposed as a surrogate reaction [6Li(52Cr, d)56Fe*] for the ...

Transferrin as a source of iron for Campylobacter rectus

open access: yesJournal of Oral Microbiology, 2011
Background and Objective: Campylobacter rectus is considered as one of the bacterial species of etiological importance in periodontitis. Iron-containing proteins such as transferrin are found in periodontal sites and may serve as a source of iron for ...
