The Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon TPC (NEXT) is intended to investigate the neutrinoless double beta decay of 136Xe, which requires a severe suppression of potential backgrounds. An extensive screening and material selection process is…
At the dawn of a new space exploration age, aiming to send humans back to the Moon and for the first time to Mars, it is necessary to devise a solution to mitigate the impact that space radiation has on spacecraft and astronauts. Although…
The MAJORANA Collaboration is searching for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of the nucleus Ge-76. The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR is an array of germanium detectors deployed with the aim of implementing background reduction techniques suitable…
Searches of new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) performed at low energy frontiers are complementary to experiments carried out at high energy colliders. Among the methods for testing the SM and beyond at low energies are the…
Radiative cooling emerged as a possible sustainable solution to the energy hungry vapor compression-based cooling. However, realizing subfreezing temperatures through radiative cooling remains challenging in environments with high humidity…
Electromagnetic invisibility cloak requires material with anisotropic distribution of the constitutive parameters deduced from a geometrical transformation as first proposed by Pendry et al. [Science 312, 1780 (2006)]. In this paper, we…
The first successful attempts to optimize the electric field in Resistive Microstrip Gas Chamber and resistive microdot detectors using additional field shaping strips located inside the detector substrate are described
Relying on atomic scattering factors from evaluated databases, a new model for the reflectivity of x rays on solid surfaces has been developed for FLUKA v4-6.0. This model accounts for the variation of reflectivity as a function of the…
Blocking is often used to reduce known variability in designed experiments by collecting together homogeneous experimental units. A common modelling assumption for such experiments is that responses from units within a block are dependent.…
The ability to absorb light is indispensable for high efficient solar power generation. This places conflicting requirements on the structure of a solar cell: On one hand, it needs to have thick active layers to absorb more of the available…
In this letter, the use of intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) to enhance the physical layer security of downlink wireless communication is investigated. Assuming a single-antenna legitimate user and a multi-antenna eavesdropper, we…
The axion is a hypothetical particle which is a candidate for cold dark matter. Haloscope experiments directly search for these particles in strong magnetic fields with RF cavities as detectors. The Relic Axion Detector Exploratory Setup…
Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) makes it possible to reach a better solution than by optimizing each discipline independently. In particular, the optimal structure of a drone won't be the same depending on the material used. The…
The tightest cosmological constraints currently available are obtained by combining complementary data sets. When combining correlated data sets, various astrophysical biases that affect the measurements must be identified and treated.…
Response surface designs are usually described as being run under complete randomization of the treatment combinations to the experimental units. In practice, however, it is often necessary or beneficial to run them under some kind of…
We developed a low-mass and high-efficiency charged particle detector for an experimental study of the rare decay $K_L \rightarrow \pi^0 \nu \bar{\nu}$. The detector is important to suppress the background with charged particles to the…
We devise an optimised bi-component multi-layered dielectric stack design to enhance the local irradiance for efficient photovoltaic upconversion materials. The field intensity profile throughout the photonic structure is numerically…
Current state of the experimental physics of the surface discharge has been examined in the literature review. The existing works were classified by the mediums, where the surface discharge is explored, by the types of experimental setups…
Silicon radiation detectors are an integral component of current and planned collider experiments in high energy physics. Simulations of these detectors are essential for deciding operational configurations, for performing precise data…
This paper describes the optimization of a variable energy degrader design for the Midwest Proton Radiotherapy Institute (MPRI) [1]. To optimize the energy degrader design we investigate the choice of an optimal material for the degrader,…
