Abstract We describe the simulated sky survey underlying second data challenge (DC2) carried out in preparation for analysis of Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey Space and Time (LSST) by LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration (LSST DESC). Significant connections across multiple science domains will be a hallmark LSST; DC2 program represents unique modeling effort that stresses this interconnectivity way has not been attempted before. This encompasses full end-to-end approach: starting...

Anesthesia is currently required for positron emission tomography (PET) studies of the animal brain in order to eliminate motion artifacts. However, anesthesia profoundly affects neurological state animal, complicating interpretation PET data. Furthermore, it precludes use study during normal behavior. The rat conscious tomograph (RatCAP) designed need studies. It a miniaturized full-ring scanner that attached directly head, imaging nearly entire brain. RatCAP utilizes arrays 2 mm /spl...

The optimization of the input MOSFET for charge amplifiers in deep submicron technologies is discussed. After a review traditional approach, impact properly modeling equivalent series noise and gate capacitance presented. It shown that enhanced model, when compared to classical, produces different resolution estimate result. minimum channel length maximum allocated power are not always best choice terms resolution. Also, an optimized front-end, low frequency contribution Equivalent Noise...
