NOνA is a next-generation experiment whose 14-kton detector uses a highly active, finely segmented design that offers superb event identification capability.
In this paper, we report on initial studies to quantify the intrinsic capture efficiency and particle identification capabilities of a new scintillation-based segmented design that uses layers of ZnS Ag/6LiF to capture and identify neutrons created in the inverse beta-decay reaction.
The mysterious glass volumes inside the structure might have recalled the segmented design of a Russian church, but they were primarily administrative spaces.
In the new ranking, the ASCI Q supercomputer at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico occupies the No. 2 and 3 positions, because of its segmented design.
The latest proposed extremely large astronomical telescopes, such as the Thirty Meter Telescope and the European Extremely Large Telescope, will be of segmented design.
The results show that subsidized insurance fails in facilitating access, not only due to the limited number of included services, coinciding with other studies [ 16, 17], but because of the segmented design of the benefit package.
Optical and psychophysical pattern-comparison tests showed that while 2-zone segmented designs (angular & radial) provided better performance for far and near vision, 3- and 4-zone segmented angular designs performed better for intermediate vision.
The internal currents were measured in a segmented cell specifically designed for this purpose and it was found that they could reach values higher than 1 A cm−2.
In this design, a segmented quadrupole was used as an ion trap and ions were confined against a counterflow of gas.
Finally, by means of a segmented differential calculation, the designed temperature field of all the streams and layers can be obtained.
This article presents a Monte Carlo simulation of the detector energy response in the presence of pileup in a segmented silicon microstrip detector designed for high flux spectral computed tomography with sub-millimeter pixel size.
