Uncertainty-aware spot rejection rate as quality metric for proton therapy using a digital tracking calorimeter
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Objective. Proton therapy is highly sensitive to range uncertainties due to the nature of the dose deposition of charged particles. To ensure treatment quality, range verification methods can be used to verify that the ... -
Underlying event properties in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)This article reports measurements characterizing the Underlying Event (UE) associated with hard scatterings at midrapidity (|η| < 0.8) in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV. The hard scatterings are identified by the leading ... -
Understanding the correlation between (g − 2) μ and μ → eγ in the MSSM
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-08)The supersymmetric contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment a μ and to the decay μ → eγ are given by very similar Feynman diagrams. Previous works reported correlations in specific scenarios, in particular if a ... -
A unified picture of medium-induced radiation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)We revisit the picture of jets propagating in the quark-gluon plasma. In addition to vacuum radiation, partons scatter on the medium constituents resulting in induced emissions. Analytical approaches to including these ... -
Universality of Lower Hybrid Waves at Earth's Magnetopause
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Waves around the lower hybrid frequency are frequently observed at Earth's magnetopause and readily reach very large amplitudes. Determining the properties of lower hybrid waves is crucial because they are thought to ... -
Unlocking multimodal PET-MR synergies for geoscience
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The recent combination of positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging modalities in one clinical diagnostic tool represents a scientific advancement with high potential impact in geoscientific ... -
Unsteady-State CO2 Foam Generation and Propagation: Laboratory and Field Insights
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-07)This work presents a multiscale experimental and numerical investigation of CO2 foam generation, strength, and propagation during alternating injection of surfactant solution and CO2 at reservoir conditions. Evaluations ... -
Unsteady-state CO2 foam injection for increasing enhanced oil recovery and carbon storage potential
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The efficiency of CO2 injection for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and carbon storage is limited by severe viscosity and density differences between CO2 and reservoir fluids and reservoir heterogeneity. In-situ generation of ... -
Unusual shrinkage and reshaping of Earth’s magnetosphere under a strong northward interplanetary magnetic field
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The Earth’s magnetosphere is the region of space where plasma behavior is dominated by the geomagnetic field. It has a long tail typically extending hundreds of Earth radii (RE) with plentiful open magnetic fluxes threading ... -
Unveiling the strong interaction among hadrons at the LHC
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)One of the key challenges for nuclear physics today is to understand from first principles the effective interaction between hadrons with different quark content. First successes have been achieved using techniques that ... -
Update on the CP-Violating Inert-Doublet Model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)We have updated a recently proposed extension of the Inert Doublet Model. The extension amounts to the addition of an extra non-inert scalar doublet. The model thus offers a possibility of CP violation in the scalar sector ... -
Updated constraints on Z′ and W′ bosons decaying into bosonic and leptonic final states using the run 2 ATLAS data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The full ATLAS run 2 dataset with a time-integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1 in the diboson and dilepton channels is used to probe benchmark models with extended gauge sectors: the E6-motivated grand unification models, the ... -
An Updated Geomagnetic Index-Based Model for Determining the Latitudinal Extent of Energetic Electron Precipitation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Energetic Electron Precipitation (EEP) from the Earth's plasma sheet and the radiation belts is an important feature of atmospheric dynamics through their destruction of ozone in the lower thermosphere and mesosphere. ... -
Upgrade of the ALICE central barrel tracking detectors: ITS and TPC
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02)The ALICE Collaboration will undertake a major upgrade of the detector apparatus during the second LHC Long Shutdown LS2 (2019–2020) in view of the Runs 3 and 4 (2021–2029). The objective of the upgrade is two-fold: i) an ... -
The upgrade of the ALICE TPC with GEMs and continuous readout
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The upgrade of the ALICE TPC will allow the experiment to cope with the high interaction rates foreseen for the forthcoming Run 3 and Run 4 at the CERN LHC. In this article, we describe the design of new readout chambers ... -
Upscaling on Fracture Flow Models
(Master thesis, 2017-08-25)Fractures have a great impact on the quality of a porous media. The understanding of the fractures is important to describe the challenges linked to flow of geothermal heat, the transport of groundwater or transport of ... -
Use of biodegradable colloids and carbon black nanofluids for solar energy applications
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The conversion of solar energy to heat can be performed in direct absorption solar collectors, where the radiation from the sun is absorbed by a fluid. There are various types of fluids that can be used, and recently, ... -
Use of market ready light dosimeters for patients with erythropoietic protoporphyria disorder
(Master thesis, 2017-06-21)Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) disorder causes severe pain in the skin when patients are overexposed to light, particularly blue light. These patients can only stay exposed to sunlight for a short amount of time, and ... -
