We discuss the physics case for and concept of a medium-scale axion helioscope with sensitivities in axion-photon coupling few times better than CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST). Search an axion-like particle these couplings is motivated by several persistent astrophysical anomalies. present early conceptual design, existing infrastructure, projected sensitivity timeline such (Troitsk Experiment, TASTE) to be constructed Institute Nuclear Research, Troitsk, Russia. The proposed instrument...
This paper describes the study of hot electron generation under action intense (∼1018 W/cm2) femtosecond pulses onto surface a solid target, in presence long pre-plasma, which varied with different spatial extents and densities. The corona was formed by pre-pulses intensities temporal profiles (amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) short pre-pulses). most efficient fast acceleration, to energies well beyond ponderomotive potential, observed if ASE able form extent ∼100 μm slightly...
Abstract The complex approach combining experimental data on X‐ray diagnostics of plasma, the results numerical PIC simulation laser‐plasma interaction (namely – fast electron spectra), as well Monte‐Carlo calculation resulted spectrum is presented. Direct comparison and simulated spectra (obtained at laser pulse intensity 2.5 × 10 18 W/cm 2 ) revealed differences in mean slope cutoff two spectra. In particular exhibited twice higher slope. possible explanations observed discrepancies are...

A good agreement was obtained between and readings ionization chamber plastic monitor. does not register photons electrons with energies below 170 keV, which is important for low-energy background suppression.
During 2006 and the first half of 2007, installation, integration commissioning trigger data acquisition (TDAQ) equipment in ATLAS experimental area have progressed. There been a series technical runs using final components system already installed area. Various tests run including ones where level 1 preselected simulated proton-proton events processed loop mode through dataflow chains. The included readout buffers containing events, event building, 2 filter algorithms. scalability with...
An analytical expression for the spin-averaged amplitude squared of rare muon decay ${\ensuremath{\mu}}^{+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}{e}^{+}{\ensuremath{\nu}}_{e}{\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}$ is calculated. Monte Carlo phase space simulation using has been used to get various differential distributions charged leptons. The approximate total energy spectrum leptons near end point presented. dependence branching ratio on cuts in studied taking into...
Detector cells consisting of fast lead-tungstate crystals viewed by avalanche photo-diodes were designed, built and bench-tested. It was found that cooling the to -20 C, using two per crystal, pulse shaping provided light yield, low noise, response needed for use in 100 MeV calorimetry at high beam rates. The achieved stochastic term coefficient is 0.8% time characterized a single decay 24 ns.

Abstract Flash therapy with ultra-high dose rate beams opens up the possibility of significantly reducing radiation damage to normal tissues. But that type radiotherapy requires development new methods for dosimetry and monitoring beams, since many conventional detectors are not fully suitable these purposes. In this work, characteristics a proton beam monitor detects Cherenkov from secondary delta electrons were studied in flash mode irradiation. This is applicable any intensity, very...
