The BABAR detector: Upgrades, operation and performance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-11-21)The BaBar detector operated successfully at the PEP-II asymmetric e+e− collider at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory from 1999 to 2008. This report covers upgrades, operation, and performance of the collider and the ... -
Background removal from global auroral images: Data driven dayglow modelling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Global images of auroras obtained by cameras on spacecraft are a key tool for studying the near-Earth environment. However, the cameras are sensitive not only to auroral emissions produced by precipitating particles, but ... -
Bacterial proteins with cleaved or uncleaved signal peptides of the general secretory pathway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-12-21)Correct protein compartmentalization is a key step for molecular function and cell viability, and this is especially true for membrane and externalized proteins of bacteria. Recent proteomic reports of Bacillus subtilis ... -
Balance functions of (un)identified hadrons in Pb–Pb, p–Pb, and pp collisions at the LHC
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02)In ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, correlations of particles with opposite quantum numbers provide insight into quark production mechanisms and time scales, collective motion, and re-scattering in the hadronic ... -
Bayesian modelling of organ deformations in radiotherapy
(Doctoral thesis, 2023-06-13)Moderne strålebehandling mot kreft er skreddarsydd for å gje ein høg stråledose tilpassa svulsten (målvolumet), mens så lite dose som mogleg vert gitt til det friske vevet omkring. Den totale dosen vert levert over nokre ... -
Beam diffraction effects in guided-wave transmission of fluid embedded elastic plate. Influence of receiver distance and finite aperture.
(Master thesis, 2018-06-23)For the past decades, plate transmission effects have been extensively studied with the incentive of applying the knowledge in GUW methods in the industry. With these studies, multiple anomalous effects have been identified, ... -
