The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for a proper risk assessment of respiratory pathogens in indoor settings. This paper documents COVID Airborne Risk Assessment methodology, to assess potential exposure airborne SARS-CoV-2 viruses, with an emphasis on virological and immunological factors quantification risk. model results from multidisciplinary approach linking physical, mechanical biological domains, enabling decision makers or facility managers their setting. was benchmarked...
Machine learning entails a broad range of techniques that have been widely used in Science and Engineering since decades. High-energy physics has also profited from the power these tools for advanced analysis colliders data. It is only up until recently Learning started to be applied successfully domain Accelerator Physics, which testified by intense efforts deployed this several laboratories worldwide. This case CERN, where focused devoted application beam dynamics studies at Large Hadron...
This study presents an advanced airborne transmission risk assessment model that integrates both short- and long-range routes in the spread of respiratory viruses, building upon CERN Airborne Model for Indoor Risk Assessment (CAiMIRA) aligned with new World Health Organization (WHO) terminology. Thanks to a two-stage exhaled jet approach, accurately simulates short-range exposures, thereby improving infection predictions across diverse indoor settings. Key findings reveal patient wards,...
Indoor aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2 has been widely recognised, especially in schools where children remain closed indoor spaces and largely unvaccinated. Measures such as strategic natural ventilation high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration poorly implemented mask mandates are often progressively lifted vaccination rollout is enhanced.We adapted a previously developed model to study the effect interventions (natural ventilation, face masks, HEPA their combinations) on...
The Large Hadron Collider has a complex collimation system installed to protect its sensitive equipment from normal and abnormal beam losses. collimators are set around the following multistage transverse setting hierarchy. insertion position of each collimator is established using beam-based alignment techniques determine local rms size at collimator. During previous years, alignments were performed semiautomatically, with experts present oversee control alignment. run II, new fully...
The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is equipped with a collimation system to intercept potentially dangerous beam halo particles before they damage its sensitive equipment. collimator settings are determined following beam-based alignment procedure, in which the jaws moved towards until losses appear loss monitors. When reaches envelope, propagate mainly direction of and are, therefore, also observed by other nearby This phenomenon known as cross talk. Due this, collimators aligned...
Abstract The global crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted need for a proper risk assessment of respiratory pathogens in indoor settings. This paper documents COVID Airborne Risk Assessment (CARA) methodology, to assess potential exposure airborne SARS-CoV-2 viruses, with an emphasis on effect certain virological and immunological factors quantification risk. proposed model is result multidisciplinary approach linking physical, mechanical biological domains, benchmarked...
With the advent of Machine Learning a few decades ago, Science and Engineering have had new powerful tools at their disposal. Particularly in domain particle physics, techniques become an essential part analysis data from collisions. Accelerator however, only recently discovered possibilities using these to improve its analysis. In different laboratories worldwide, several activities are being carried out, typically view providing insights beam dynamics circular accelerators. This is, for...
Machine learning techniques have been used extensively in several domains of Science and Engineering for decades. These powerful tools applied also to the domain high-energy physics, analysis data from particle collisions, years already. Accelerator however, has not started exploiting machine until very recently. Several activities are flourishing this domain, view providing new insights beam dynamics circular accelerators, different laboratories worldwide. This is, instance, case CERN Large...
