Abstract

In this paper, we report on a tabletop experiment studying neutron scattering in a Spherical Proportional Counter using an Am-Be source. Systematic studies were carried out to investigate the effect of gas mixture, pressure, operating voltage, and sphere size on the drift time-rise time relationship of the signal in a spherical proportional counter. Our experimental results showed good agreement with MagBoltz simulations. These findings are a crucial step towards measuring the quenching factor in gases using a neutron beam for the New Experiments With Spheres-Gas (NEWS-G) experiment and has important implications for the development of neutron detection techniques and their potential applications in nuclear and particle physics.

Abstract

The New Experiments With Spheres-Gas (NEWS-G) collaboration intends to achieve $\mathrm{sub-GeV/c^{2}}$ Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) detection using Spherical Proportional Counters (SPCs). SPCs are gaseous detectors relying on ionization with a single ionization electron energy threshold. The latest generation of SPC for direct dark matter searches has been installed at SNOLAB in Canada in 2021. This article details the different processes involved in the fabrication of the NEWS-G experiment. Also outlined in this paper are the mitigation strategies, measurements of radioactivity of the different components, and estimations of induced background event rates that were used to quantify and address detector backgrounds., Comment: 18 pages, 9 figures, 5 tables, to be published

Abstract

Many low-threshold experiments observe sharply rising event rates of yet unknown origins below a few hundred eV, and larger than expected from known backgrounds. Due to the significant impact of this excess on the dark matter or neutrino sensitivity of these experiments, a collective effort has been started to share the knowledge about the individual observations. For this, the EXCESS Workshop was initiated. In its first iteration in June 2021, ten rare event search collaborations contributed to this initiative via talks and discussions. The contributing collaborations were CONNIE, CRESST, DAMIC, EDELWEISS, MINER, NEWS-G, NUCLEUS, RICOCHET, SENSEI and SuperCDMS. They presented data about their observed energy spectra and known backgrounds together with details about the respective measurements. In this paper, we summarize the presented information and give a comprehensive overview of the similarities and differences between the distinct measurements. The provided data is furthermore publicly available on the workshop's data repository together with a plotting tool for visualization., Comment: 44 pages, 20 figures; Editors: A. Fuss, M.

Abstract

The amount of energy released by a nuclear recoil ionizing the atoms of the active volume of detection appears "quenched" compared to an electron of the same kinetic energy. This different behavior in ionization between electrons and nuclei is described by the Ionization Quenching Factor (IQF) and it plays a crucial role in direct dark matter searches. For low kinetic energies (below $50~\mathrm{keV}$), IQF measurements deviate significantly from common models used for theoretical predictions and simulations. We report measurements of the IQF for proton, an appropriate target for searches of Dark Matter candidates with a mass of approximately 1 GeV, with kinetic energies in between $2~\mathrm{keV}$ and $13~\mathrm{keV}$ in $100~\mathrm{mbar}$ of methane. We used the Comimac facility in order to produce the motion of nuclei and electrons of controlled kinetic energy in the active volume, and a NEWS-G SPC to measure the deposited energy. The Comimac electrons are used as reference to calibrate the detector with 7 energy points. A detailed study of systematic effects led to the final results well fitted by $\mathrm{IQF}~(E_K)= E_K^\alpha~/~(\beta + E_K^\alpha)$ with $\alpha=0.70\pm0.08$ and $\beta = 1.32\pm0.17$. In agreement with some previous works in other gas mixtures, we measured less ionization energy than predicted from SRIM simulations, the difference reaching $33\%$ at $2~\mathrm{keV}$, Comment: 12 pages, 9 figures

Abstract

Kaluza-Klein (KK) axions appear in theories with extra dimensions as higher mass, significantly shorter lifetime, excitations of the Peccei-Quinn axion. When produced in the Sun, they would remain gravitationally trapped in the solar system, and their decay to a pair of photons could provide an explanation of the solar corona heating problem. A low-density detector would discriminate such a signal from the background, by identifying the separation of the interaction point of the two photons. The NEWS-G collaboration uses large volume Spherical Proportional Counters, gas-filled metallic spheres with a spherical anode in their centre. After observation of a single axionlike event in a 42 day long run with the SEDINE detector, a $90\%$ C.L. upper limit of $g_{a\gamma\gamma}<8.99\cdot10^{-13}\,GeV^{-1}$ is set on the axion-photon coupling for a KK axion density on Earth of $n_{a}=4.07\cdot10^{13}\,m^{-3}$ and two extra dimensions of size $R = 1\,eV^{-1}$., Comment: 19 pages, 11 figures.

Abstract

The NEWS-G collaboration uses Spherical Proportional Counters (SPCs) to search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). In this paper, we report the first measurements of the nuclear quenching factor in neon gas at \SI{2}{bar} using an SPC deployed in a neutron beam at the TUNL facility. The energy-dependence of the nuclear quenching factor is modelled using a simple power law: $\alpha$E$_{nr}^{\beta}$; we determine its parameters by simultaneously fitting the data collected with the detector over a range of energies. We measured the following parameters in Ne:CH$_{4}$ at \SI{2}{bar}: $\alpha$ = 0.2801 $\pm$ 0.0050 (fit) $\pm$ 0.0045 (sys) and $\beta$ = 0.0867 $\pm$ 0.020 (fit) $\pm$ 0.006(sys). Our measurements do not agree with expected values from SRIM or Lindhard theory. We demonstrated the feasibility of performing quenching factor measurements at sub-keV energies in gases using SPCs and a neutron beam.

Abstract

New Experiments with Spheres-Gas (NEWS-G) is a dark matter direct detection experiment that will operate at SNOLAB (Canada). Similar to other rare-event searches, the materials used in the detector construction are subject to stringent radiopurity requirements. The detector features a 140-cm diameter proportional counter comprising two hemispheres made from commercially sourced 99.99% pure copper. Such copper is widely used in rare-event searches because it is readily available, there are no long-lived Cu radioisotopes, and levels of non-Cu radiocontaminants are generally low. However, measurements performed with a dedicated 210Po alpha counting method using an XIA detector confirmed a problematic concentration of 210Pb in bulk of the copper. To shield the proportional counter's active volume, a low-background electroforming method was adapted to the hemispherical shape to grow a 500-$\mu$m thick layer of ultra-radiopure copper to the detector's inner surface. In this paper the process is described, which was prototyped at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), USA, and then conducted at full scale in the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane in France. The radiopurity of the electroplated copper was assessed through Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Measurements of samples from the first (second) hemisphere give 68% confidence upper limits of <0.58 $\mu$Bq/kg (<0.24 $\mu$Bq/kg) and <0.26 $\mu$Bq/kg (<0.11 $\mu$Bq/kg) on the 232Th and 238U contamination levels, respectively. These results are comparable to previously reported measurements of electroformed copper produced for other rare-event searches, which were also found to have low concentration of 210Pb consistent with the background goals of the NEWS-G experiment., Comment: 11 pages, 11 figures, 3 tables

Abstract

We propose an evolution of the Mu2e experiment, called Mu2e-II, that would leverage advances in detector technology and utilize the increased proton intensity provided by the Fermilab PIP-II upgrade to improve the sensitivity for neutrinoless muon-to-electron conversion by one order of magnitude beyond the Mu2e experiment, providing the deepest probe of charged lepton flavor violation in the foreseeable future. Mu2e-II will use as much of the Mu2e infrastructure as possible, providing, where required, improvements to the Mu2e apparatus to accommodate the increased beam intensity and cope with the accompanying increase in backgrounds., Comment: 17 pages, 4 figures, 1 table; Submitted to the Fermilab Physics Advisory Committee

Abstract

In this Technical Design Report (TDR) we describe the SuperB detector that was to be installed on the SuperB e+e- high luminosity collider. The SuperB asymmetric collider, which was to be constructed on the Tor Vergata campus near the INFN Frascati National Laboratory, was designed to operate both at the Upsilon(4S) center-of-mass energy with a luminosity of 10^{36} cm^{-2}s^{-1} and at the tau/charm production threshold with a luminosity of 10^{35} cm^{-2}s^{-1}. This high luminosity, producing a data sample about a factor 100 larger than present B Factories, would allow investigation of new physics effects in rare decays, CP Violation and Lepton Flavour Violation. This document details the detector design presented in the Conceptual Design Report (CDR) in 2007. The R&D and engineering studies performed to arrive at the full detector design are described, and an updated cost estimate is presented. A combination of a more realistic cost estimates and the unavailability of funds due of the global economic climate led to a formal cancelation of the project on Nov 27, 2012., Comment: 495 pages

Abstract

The amount of energy released by a nuclear recoil ionizing the atoms of the active volume of detection appears "quenched" compared to an electron of the same kinetic energy. This different behavior in ionization between electrons and nuclei is described by the Ionization Quenching Factor (IQF) and it plays a crucial role in direct dark matter searches. For low kinetic energies (below $50~\mathrm{keV}$), IQF measurements deviate significantly from common models used for theoretical predictions and simulations. We report measurements of the IQF for proton, an appropriate target for searches of Dark Matter candidates with a mass of approximately 1 GeV, with kinetic energies in between $2~\mathrm{keV}$ and $13~\mathrm{keV}$ in $100~\mathrm{mbar}$ of methane. We used the Comimac facility in order to produce the motion of nuclei and electrons of controlled kinetic energy in the active volume, and a NEWS-G SPC to measure the deposited energy. The Comimac electrons are used as reference to calibrate the detector with 7 energy points. A detailed study of systematic effects led to the final results well fitted by $\mathrm{IQF}~(E_K)= E_K^\alpha~/~(\beta + E_K^\alpha)$ with $\alpha=0.70\pm0.08$ and $\beta = 1.32\pm0.17$. In agreement with some previous works in other gas mixtures, we measured less ionization energy than predicted from SRIM simulations, the difference reaching $33\%$ at $2~\mathrm{keV}$, Comment: 12 pages, 9 figures

23. Parametric Study on Bond of GFRP Bars in Alkali Activated Cement Concrete

Abstract

Bond behaviour plays an important role in the design and performance of reinforced concrete structures. In this study, a beam-end specimen finite element model is used to perform a parametric study. The bond between the GFRP bar and Alkali Activated Cement (AAC) concrete is modelled by surface-based cohesive behaviour. The accuracy of the model is validated by comparing different predictions with experimental results. The effect of concrete cover, bar diameter, concrete compressive strength, lead length (unbonded length at loaded end), embedment length and elastic modulus of GFRP bars on bond behaviour is investigated. Each of these parameters is varied on a range of applicable values to study its influence on bond behaviour. The parametric study showed that the bond behaviour is mainly affected by concrete cover, bar diameter, embedment length and compressive strength of the concrete. The effect of elastic modulus of GFRP bar is not as pronounced as that of the other parameters while the influence of lead length can be avoided by providing enough unbonded length at the loaded end. The parametric study is further used to calibrate a well-known bond equation and develop a new regression equation for predicting the maximum bond stress. The predicted results from these equations showed a good agreement with the experimental as well as with the finite element results.

Abstract

International audience; In this paper, we present The 3D FE calculation of this structure is extremely complex due to the hollow geometry of the object but also due to the structural and material anisotropy. In particular, the wood has a very weak transverse rolling shear modulus. The effects of these transverse shears are important and cannot be fully accounted by an equivalent homogeneous layer that can be found in composite codes. A model based on a layerwise approach that improves the shear behavior predictions, and examines local responses, especially at the interface between the layers, was developed in the Navier laboratory. Named LS1, it is a Layerwise Stress approach with first-order approximations. Its finite element code called MPFEAP allows estimating the intensity of 3D singularities using a 2D plane mesh, even for this complex 3D structure. The performance of this approach is compared with Abaqus, 2D composite shell element, and with a beam analytical model. We also compare to experimental results.

Abstract

In this Technical Design Report (TDR) we describe the SuperB detector that was to be installed on the SuperB e+e- high luminosity collider. The SuperB asymmetric collider, which was to be constructed on the Tor Vergata campus near the INFN Frascati National Laboratory, was designed to operate both at the Upsilon(4S) center-of-mass energy with a luminosity of 10^{36} cm^{-2}s^{-1} and at the tau/charm production threshold with a luminosity of 10^{35} cm^{-2}s^{-1}. This high luminosity, producing a data sample about a factor 100 larger than present B Factories, would allow investigation of new physics effects in rare decays, CP Violation and Lepton Flavour Violation. This document details the detector design presented in the Conceptual Design Report (CDR) in 2007. The R&D and engineering studies performed to arrive at the full detector design are described, and an updated cost estimate is presented. A combination of a more realistic cost estimates and the unavailability of funds due of the global economic climate led to a formal cancelation of the project on Nov 27, 2012.

Abstract

Nicainoprol, a new class 1 antiarrhythmic drug was given intravenously in a dose of 2 mg kg of body weight (two patients) and 3 mg kg of body weight (nine patients), and the clinical, electrocardiographic and electrophysiological effects were studied. Fifteen minutes after the end of drug administration, the PR interval was prolonged by 24–4% (P<0.001), and the QTC by 3.9% (P<0.01). The prolongation of QRS duration ( + 6%) was not significant. There was a slight ( – 3–9%) but non-significant decrease of the heart rate, with no alteration in sinus node function. Alteration of atrial conduction and atrioventricular (AV) conduction were due to an increase in the PA interval ( + 57.4%, P< 0.05), the AH interval ( +10.9%, NS) and the HV interval (+ 43.8%, Y<0.01). The anterograde Wenckebach cycle length increased by 11% (P<0.01). The effective and functional atrial refractory periods increased respectively by 4–5% and 114% (P<0–05), and the effective refractory period of the A Vnode increased by 11–2% (P < 005). None of the other electrophysiological variables changed significantly. A non-significant drop in blood pressure was noted between the second minute following injection ( – 9–4%) and the 15th minute ( - 3–4%), and two patients complained of dizziness; one of these two patients reported a heat flush with an oral burning. In conclusion, nicainoprol seems to possess the electrophysiological properties of some other class I antiarrhythmic drugs, and is clinically well tolerated. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

39. Droperidol exerts dual effects on repolarization and induces early afterdepolarizations and triggered activity in rabbit Purkinje fibers.

Author

Adamantidis, M M, Kerram, P, Caron, J F, and Dupuis, B A

Abstract

This study was designed to clarify discrepancies concerning the effects of droperidol on cardiac repolarization. Myocardial electrical activity was recorded by using microelectrode technique in rabbit Purkinje fibers and guinea pig ventricular muscle. In Purkinje fibers stimulated at 60 pulses/min, low concentrations (0.01-0.3 microM) of droperidol increased in a dose-dependent fashion action potential duration (APD) without altering the other parameters. At 1 and 3 microM, droperidol led to the reversal of the prolonging effect. The highest concentrations used (10 and 30 microM), produced shortening in APD at 50% repolarization concomitantly with a significant decrease in Vmax, action potential amplitude and resting membrane potential. Inexcitability occurred in 4 of 15 preparations exposed to 30 microM. In 8 of 15 Purkinje fibers, the prolonging effect induced by low concentrations was so important that APD exceeded the 1000-msec period of basal stimulation and early afterdepolarizations (EADs) and triggered activity developed. In guinea pig ventricular muscle, these effects were notably less pronounced. Prolongation of action potential showed a reverse use-dependence (i.e., much greater at the lowest stimulation frequencies), whereas Vmax depression was use-dependent. Decreasing extracellular K concentration from 4.0 to 2.7 mM enhanced the incidence of EADs in Purkinje fibers, whereas elevating the K concentration from 2.7 to 5.4 mM abolished them completely and shortened drastically APD. EADs were also eliminated by increasing magnesium concentration from 1 to 5 mM. Addition of isoproterenol favored EADs, whereas these were suppressed at plateau level by exposure to 0.3 microM nifedipine. The results indicate that in rabbit Purkinje fibers, droperidol exerts a dual effect on repolarization, prolongation with low concentrations with development of EADs and subsequent triggered activity. These abnormalities were suppressed at high concentrations concomitantly with a marked depression of other characteristics. These observations suggest multiple ionic channel activities and further studies are required to precise the underlying mechanisms at channel level.

40. Comparative Electrophysiological Effects of Propafenone 5Hydroxy-Propafenone and N-Depropylpropafenone on Guinea Pig Ventricular Muscle Fibers

Rouet, R., Libersa, C. C., Broly, F., Caron, J. F., Adamantidis, M. M., Honore, E., Wajman, A., and Dupuis, B. A.

Abstract

Propafenone (Pf) is a class I antiarrhythmic drug that can be given both orally and intravenously. In order to examine whether its two major metabolites [5-hydroxypropafenone (5-OH-Pf) and N-depropylpropafenone (N-DP-Pf)] possess pharmacodynamical properties, we compared their electrophysiological effects to those of the parent drug on papillary muscle fibers from guinea pig ventricular myocardium. After baseline action potential and refractory period characteristics were measured at different pacing rates, the tissue preparations were superfused with either Pf, 5-OH-Pf, or N-DP-Pf at five different concentrations and electrophysiological characteristics were studied again. The maximal rate of depolarization (Vmax) was depressed by the three compounds only at the highest concentration, although the effect of N-DP-Pf was slightly less than the other two. Refractory periods were altered only by the highest concentration of 5-OH-Pf. Propafenone and N-DP-Pf exhibited equally slow on-set/off-set kinetics of the sodium channel block, whereas those of 5-OH-Pf were twice as long, which seems to suggest a slower rate of dissociation of the latter from the inactivated sodium channels.

Abstract

7th International Conference on FRP Composites in Civil Engineering (CICE), VANCOUVER, CANADA, 20-/08/2014 - 22/08/2014; In order to join a plane composite cable to the main structure of a composite footbridge designed within (Caron, 2009), it was decided to investigate structural adhesive bonding. This technique is indeed particularly adapted to composite materials. However structural adhesive bonding induces stress concentrations at the edges of the adhesive joint, which have been studied by a large number of researchers in order to reduce these phenomena and increase the capacity and service life of the bonded joint (Kinloch, 1987). These studies are all concerned with optimizing shear stress transfer in adhesively bonded joints. This paper investigates the role of hydrostatic pressure on the ultimate capacities of common civil engineering adhesives. The conclusions led us to study a new joint geometry, the 'curved' bonded joint that naturally creates compressive stresses on the edge of the bonded joint. Several experimental investigations are presented within this paper to illustrate the optimization. These are quasi-static tests that compare classical shear lap joints to curved joints. Additional testing is currently in progress, but the curved bonded joint seems to hold good prospects and a patent has been filed.

Abstract

This paper presents investigations of unsteady flow conditions influence over cavitation dynamics. Measurements of wall pressure fluctuations in a model turbine are first introduced. It is shown that the wake of the spiral casing tongue modulates cavity dynamics near the trailing edge of runner blades. A new device, which permits a 2D hydrofoil to oscillate around its mean incidence angle, is used in order to recreate flow conditions similar to those of blade row wakes experienced in industrial flows. This device is mounted in the LMH High-Speed Cavitation Tunnel test section. Flow visualizations and surface pressure measurements are performed concurrently. Perturbations strongly affect leading edge cavitation at some flow conditions. Complete disappearance of leading edge cavitation can be imposed at a particular operating point. It is proposed that this behavior is associated with turbulent boundary layer transition. Pressure time signals obtained with the oscillating hydrofoil and the model turbine share common features that are different from those obtained with the hydrofoil set at fixed incidences.

Abstract

In this Technical Design Report (TDR) we describe the SuperB detector that was to be installed on the SuperB e+e- high luminosity collider. The SuperB asymmetric collider, which was to be constructed on the Tor Vergata campus near the INFN Frascati National Laboratory, was designed to operate both at the Upsilon(4S) center-of-mass energy with a luminosity of 10^{36} cm^{-2}s^{-1} and at the tau/charm production threshold with a luminosity of 10^{35} cm^{-2}s^{-1}. This high luminosity, producing a data sample about a factor 100 larger than present B Factories, would allow investigation of new physics effects in rare decays, CP Violation and Lepton Flavour Violation. This document details the detector design presented in the Conceptual Design Report (CDR) in 2007. The R&D and engineering studies performed to arrive at the full detector design are described, and an updated cost estimate is presented. A combination of a more realistic cost estimates and the unavailability of funds due of the global economic climate led to a formal cancelation of the project on Nov 27, 2012.

Abstract

CICE 2018, Conférence internationale sur les composites à matrice polymère renforcée de fibres en génie civil, PARIS, FRANCE, 17-/07/2018 - 19/07/2018; One of the aims of Infravation project called FASSTbridge (Fast and effective Solution for the Strengthening of existing steel bridges) is to develop a specific reinforcement system dedicated to the preventive fatigue reinforcement of steel bridges. The proposed system relies on the use of an adhesively bonded composite plate. The adhesive has been specifically formulated by Collanti Concorde within the project to respect the required fulfillments of the studied application. It is combined with a commercially available composite plate. The communication will first give insight of the required properties of the adhesive, the composite plate, and the overall system for the considered application. Based on these requirements and existing literature and standards on the topic, the chosen experimental plan will be described. It includes investigations on the adhesive before curing, the adhesive after curing, the composite plate, and the whole reinforcing system. Both short term and durability investigations were carried out by the different partners implied within the projects. The obtained results will be presented, and allowed verifying the system properties. The participation of different partners to the experimental campaign also gives insight of the encountered dispersion, and allowed studying different parameters that may affect the capacities. The reinforcement system has been applied on a real bridge in Spain.

Abstract

We propose an evolution of the Mu2e experiment, called Mu2e-II, that would leverage advances in detector technology and utilize the increased proton intensity provided by the Fermilab PIP-II upgrade to improve the sensitivity for neutrinoless muon-to-electron conversion by one order of magnitude beyond the Mu2e experiment, providing the deepest probe of charged lepton flavor violation in the foreseeable future. Mu2e-II will use as much of the Mu2e infrastructure as possible, providing, where required, improvements to the Mu2e apparatus to accommodate the increased beam intensity and cope with the accompanying increase in backgrounds., Comment: 17 pages, 4 figures, 1 table; Submitted to the Fermilab Physics Advisory Committee

Abstract

IABSE 2018, NANTES, FRANCE, 19-/09/2018 - 21/09/2018; One of the goals of sustainable development applied to bridge infrastructure is to provide bridge owners with strengthening solutions that may lead to an increase of existing structures service life. In the case of steel bridges, the assessment of the remaining service life is most often linked to the determination of the structural deterioration caused by corrosion and fatigue. Damage caused by fatigue is very difficult to assess before crack initiation, and is more bound to occur in old structures, for which the phenomenon was not taken into account in design before 1970. In addition, old steel materials present a more brittle behavior. In answer to these challenges, the FASSTbridge project, financed through European Infravation call, aimed at developing a pre-cracking fatigue assessment and strengthening methodology for steel bridges based on the technology of adhesively bonded composite. The proposed article presents some of the results of this project.
