Validation of the MC-GPU Monte Carlo code against the PENELOPE/penEasy code system and benchmarking against experimental conditions for typical radiation qualities and setups in interventional radiology and cardiology
(2021-02-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIntroduction: Interventional procedures are associated with potentially high radiation doses to the skin. The 2013/59/EURATOM Directive establishes that the equipment used for interventional radiology must have a device ... -
Comparison of airborne radiation detectors carried by rotary-wing unmanned aerial systems
(2020)
Article
Open AccessThe Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC), the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) and the German Federal Office of Radiation Protection (BfS) have analysed the response of a 2”x2” (diameter x height) NaI and ... -
Analysis of flow channel insert deformations influence on the liquid metal flow in DCLL blanket channels
(2020-08-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe dual coolant lithium lead (DCLL) is a candidate to be an effective breeding blanket (BB) concept for nuclear fusion technologies. One critical point of this design is the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effects involving ... -
A first prototype of C6D6 total-energy detector with SiPM readout for neutron capture time-of-flight experiments
(2021-01-01)
Article
Open AccessLow efficiency total-energy detectors (TEDs) are one of the main tools for neutron capture cross section measurements utilizing the time-of-flight (TOF) technique. State-of-the-art TEDs are based on a CD liquid-scintillation ... -
Advanced tools for ITER Tritium Plant System Modeling & Design
(2020-01-01)
Article
Open AccessChemical plant system modeling experience based on the use of largely validated commercial modeling tools such as the Aspen HYSYS is adapted and exploited to develop numeric routines for unitary isotopic operations, including ... -
New local optics measurements and correction techniques for the LHC and its luminosity upgrade
(American Physical Society (APS), 2020-04-06)
Article
Open AccessAs the beams at the interaction points (IPs) of circular colliders are pushed toward smaller sizes, the correction of the magnetic field errors in high- ß regions become increasingly important, but also challenging. This ... -
Impact of flux jumps in future colliders
(American Physical Society (APS), 2020-01-02)
Article
Open AccessType-II superconductors, like the Nb3Sn used in the new HL–LHC quadrupole triplet and 11 T dipoles or FCC dipoles, are known to show an unstable behavior during magnetic-field ramps. This paper presents an analysis of the ... -

Improving the precision of linear optics measurements based on turn-by-turn beam position monitor data after a pulsed excitation in lepton storage rings
(American Physical Society (APS), 2018-08-04)
Article
Open AccessBeam optics control is of critical importance for machine performance and protection. Nowadays, turn-by-turn (TbT) beam position monitor (BPM) data are increasingly exploited as they allow for fast and simultaneous measurement ... -
New approach to LHC optics commissioning for the nonlinear era
(American Physical Society (APS), 2019-06-21)
Article
Open AccessIn 2017, optics commissioning strategy for low- ß * operation of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) underwent a major revision. This was prompted by a need to extend the scope of beam-based commissioning at high energy, ... -
LHC optics commissioning: A journey towards 1% optics control
(American Physical Society (APS), 2017-06-19)
Article
Open AccessSince 2015 the LHC has been operating at 6.5 TeV. In 2016 the ß -functions at the interaction points of ATLAS and CMS were squeezed to 0.4 m. This is below the design ß * = 0.55 ¿ ¿ m at 7 TeV, and has been instrumental ... -
Utilizing the N beam position monitor method for turn-by-turn optics measurements
(American Physical Society (APS), 2016-09-21)
Article
Open AccessThe N beam position monitor method ( N -BPM) which was recently developed for the LHC has significantly improved the precision of optics measurements that are based on BPM turn-by-turn data. The main improvement is due to ...
