Theoretical Results

Using Monte Carlo (with Geant4) and COMSOL simulations, the authors have defined a useful tool to reproduce the alpha spectroscopy of 222Rn, 220Rn and their ionized daughters by measurement systems based on electrostatic collection on a silicon detector, inside a metallic chamber. Several applications have been performed: (i) simulating commercial devices worldwide used, and comparing them with experimental theoretical results; (ii) studying of realization of new measurement systems through investigation of the detection efficiency versus different chamber geometries. New considerations and steps forward have been drawn. The present work is a novelty in the literature concerning this research framework.

AbstractA Logistic-Normal random variable (Y) is obtained from a Normal random variable (X) by the relation Y = (ex)/(1 + ex). In Monte-Carlo analysis of decision trees, Logistic-Normal random variates may be used to model the branching probabilities. In some cases, the probabilities to be modeled may not be independent, and a method for generating correlated Logistic-Normal random variates would be useful. A technique for generating correlated Normal random variates has been previously described. Using Taylor Series approximations and the algebraic definitions of variance and covariance, we describe methods for estimating the means, variances, and covariances of Normal random variates which, after translation using the above formula, will result in Logistic-Normal random variates having approximately the desired means, variances, and covariances. Multiple simulations of the method using the Mathematica computer algebra system show satisfactory agreement with the theoretical results.

The Impact

Gallium nitride (GaN) is the third generation of semiconductor material; it has a large band gap, high thermal conductivity, low dielectric constant, high drift speed, etc. Radiation detectors based on GaN material have small volume, high radiation resistance, and fast response, can be used to replace the existing Large Hadron Collider vertex detector and track detector. Energy deposition characteristic of GaN detectors to radiation beam is an important factor for detection efficiency, and there are many factors that affect the energy deposition characteristics of the detector, like the detection mechanism, the impact of material properties, the type of incident ray, radiation energy, and many other factors. This paper studies the physical properties of GaN detector by calculation based on Monte Carlo simulation. Energy deposition characteristics are discussed respectively for incident γ-ray with different energy, in the front-end and back-end add PTFE material. The results of our study present the theoretical properties of GaN radiation detectors.

Theoretical Results

The structure and energetics of Pd N (N = 5–80) clusters have been studied extensively by a Monte Carlo method based on Sutton–Chen many-body potential. The basin-hopping algorithm is used to find the low-energy minima on the potential energy surface for each nuclearity. A variety of structure types (icosahedral, decahedral and fcc closed-packed) are observed for Pd clusters. Some of the icosahedral global minima do not have a central atom. The resulting structures have been compared with the previous theoretical results.

This paper considers on the general circumnavigation problem for a team of vertical takeoff and landing unmanned air vehicles, with the goal of achieving specific circular formations and circling centered at a target of interest. Different from the traditional circular formation problem, in this paper, not only the formation but also the detection efficiency of the formation is taken into consideration. A novel distributed optimal circular formation algorithm is proposed. According to this algorithm, the circular formation can be guaranteed with the optimal radius that can optimize the team performance function. Hereon, the performance functions can be time-varying, and thus a time-varying optimal circular formation is created. Theoretical studies indicate that the proposed algorithm can achieve the formation in a distributed manner only based on the local information and the network connection. Finally, simulation examples are presented to show the validity of the theoretical results.

Development And Validation

Due to accuracy requirements, robots and machine-tools need to be periodically verified and calibrated through associated verification systems that sometimes use extensible guidance systems. This work presents the development of a reference artefact to evaluate the performance characteristics of different extensible precision guidance systems applicable to robot and machine tool verification. To this end, we present the design, modeling, manufacture and experimental validation of a reference artefact to evaluate the behavior of these extensible guidance systems. The system should be compatible with customized designed guides, as well as with commercial and existing telescopic guidance systems. Different design proposals are evaluated with finite element analysis, and two final prototypes are experimentally tested assuring that the design performs the expected function. An estimation of the uncertainty of the reference artefact is evaluated with a Monte Carlo simulation.
