A technique for studying (n,p) reactions of astrophysical interest using radioactive beams with SECAR [PDF]
The formation of nuclei in slightly proton-rich regions of the neutrino-driven wind of core-collapse supernovae could be attributed to the neutrino-p process (νp-process).

Measuring the 15O(α,γ)19Ne Reaction in Type I X-ray Bursts using the GADGET II TPC: Software [PDF]
15O(α,γ)19Ne is regarded as one of the most important thermonuclear reactions in type I X-ray bursts. For studying the properties of the key resonance in this reaction using β decay, the existing Proton Detector component of the Gaseous Detector with ...

To beam or not to beam: that is the question [PDF]
After reading the articles by Lione et al,1,2 I was very upset and concerned about the way the authors intentionally misused ionizing radiation to assess the effectiveness of an orthodontic treatment. Both studies were published at a similar time and cover the same unfortunate 17 pre-pubertal children, who had a mean age of only 11.2 years (range 8–14 ...

Frictional interactions for non‐localized beam‐to‐beam and beam‐inside‐beam contact [PDF]
AbstractThis contribution presents the extensions of beam‐to‐beam and beam‐inside‐beam contact schemes of the same authors towards frictional interactions. Since the schemes are based on the beams' true surfaces (instead of surfaces implicitly deduced from the beams' centroid lines), the presented enhancements are not only able to account for ...

Measuring the 15O(α, γ)19Ne reaction in Type I X-ray bursts using the GADGET II TPC: Hardware [PDF]
Sensitivity studies have shown that the 15O(α, γ)19Ne reaction is the most important reaction rate uncertainty affecting the shape of light curves from Type I X-ray bursts. This reaction is dominated by the 4.03 MeV resonance in 19Ne.

Alignment & stability challenges for FCC-ee
In order to achieve its ultra-low vertical emittance (1 pm) and high luminosity (of up to 230 × 10 34 cm − 2 s − 1 $230 \times 10^{34}\text{ cm}^{-2}\text{ s}^{-1}$ per collision point), the e+e− Future Circular Collider (FCC-ee) requires a well ...

Biomechanical analysis of different levels of constraint in TKA during daily activities
Background Numerous total knee prosthetic implants are currently available on the orthopedic market, and this variety covers a set of different levels of constraint: among the various models available, a significant role is covered by mobile bearing ...

Coherent beam-beam tune shift of unsymmetrical beam-beam interactions with large beam-beam parameter [PDF]
Coherent beam-beam tune shift of unsymmetrical beam-beam interactions was studied experimentally and numerically in HERA where the lepton beam has a very large beam-beam parameter (up to $ξ_y=0.272$). Unlike the symmetrical case of beam-beam interactions, the ratio of the coherent and incoherent beam-beam tune shift in this unsymmetrical case of beam ...
