Analysis of a Novel Toroidal Configuration for Hadron Therapy Gantries

Enrico Felcini

Hadron therapy refers to a medical treatment that uses hadron beams (i.e. protons and ions) to deliver localized energy that suppresses cancerous cells, sparing the neighbouring healthy tissues from unwanted radiation. The major technical components of a h ...

Guided accumulation of active particles by topological design of a second-order skin effect

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

Collective guidance of out-of-equilibrium systems without using external fields is a challenge of paramount importance in active matter, ranging from bacterial colonies to swarms of self-propelled particles. Designing strategies to guide active matter and ...

Negative hydrogen ion dynamics inside the plasma volume of a linear device: Estimates from particle-in-cell calculations

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne, Rémy Jacquier, Riccardo Agnello

Negative hydrogen or deuterium ions are the precursor particles used to generate a high power beam of neutrals in order to heat the tokamak plasma core of magnetic fusion devices, inject current, and to some extent control instabilities. In the case of ITE ...

First indication of the Lambda-b baryon decay to a charmless baryonic final state

Vladimir Macko

The Standard Model of particle physics provides predictions of many fundamental processes. One of them is the existence of charmless processes involving only baryons, namely charmless purely baryonic decays of baryons. Yet none of these decay modes has bee ...

Electron paramagnetic resonance magnetic field sensors for particle accelerators

Giovanni Boero, Alessandro Valentino Matheoud, Anthony Jean Beaumont

We report on four electron paramagnetic resonance sensors for dynamic magnetic field measurements at 36 mT, 100 mT, 360 mT, and 710 mT. The sensors are based on grounded co-planar microwave resonators operating at about 1 GHz and 3 GHz, realized using prin ...

Electron Spin Resonance Magnetometers for Particle Accelerators

Anthony Jean Beaumont

CERN is the European Organization for Nuclear Research located in Geneva, Switzerland. Its main goal is to explore fundamental physics and it exists primarily to provide physicists the necessary tools for doing this, namely accelerators. These tools bring ...

Loss of transverse Landau damping by noise and wakefield driven diffusion

Xavier Buffat, Sondre Vik Furuseth

Landau damping of coherent modes is strongly dependent on the exact shape of the particle bunches. One often assumes that the transverse distributions in high-energy hadron colliders can be approximated by Gaussian distributions, in acceptable agreement wi ...

Electron flux and pressure dynamic in the LHC vacuum pilot sector as a function of beam parameters and beam pipe properties

Ambrogio Fasoli, Elena Buratin

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is affected by the electron cloud (EC) phenomenon that can provoke beam instabilities, detrimental heat loads and pressure increases in the vacuum system. An innovative dedicated system called vacuum pilot sector (VPS) provi ...

Assembling Ni-Fe Layered Double Hydroxide 2D Thin Films for Oxygen Evolution Electrodes

Hubert Girault, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Victor Costa Bassetto

Continuous hydrothermal flow synthesis (CHFS) of Ni-Fe layered double hydroxide (LDH) leads to waterborne dispersions of 2D nanoplatelets in the range of 10-50 nm in lateral size. Conversion of the as-synthesized LDH nanoplatelet dispersion into inkjet pri ...
