Oxygen contamination in liquid Argon: combined effects on ionization electron charge and scintillation light

Kavli Affiliate: Luca Grandi | First 5 Authors: R. Acciarri, M. Antonello, B. Baibussinov, M. Baldo-Ceolin, P. Benetti | Summary: A dedicated test of the effects of Oxygen contamination in liquid Argon has been performed at the INFN-Gran Sasso Laboratory (LNGS, Italy) within the WArP R&D program. Two detectors have been used: the WArP 2.3 […]

Using Animated Textures to Visualize Electromagnetic Fields and Energy Flow

Kavli Affiliate: John Belcher | First 5 Authors: John Belcher, Carolann Koleci, , , | Summary: Animated textures can be used to visualize the spatial structure and temporal evolution of vector fields at high spatial resolution. The animation requires two time-dependent vector fields. The first of these vector fields determines the spatial structure to be […]

Rank-ordered Multifractal Spectrum for Intermittent Fluctuations

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Chang | First 5 Authors: Tom Chang, Cheng-chin Wu, , , | Summary: We describe a new method that is both physically explicable and quantitatively accurate in describing the multifractal characteristics of intermittent events based on groupings of rank-ordered fluctuations. The generic nature of such rank-ordered spectrum leads it to a natural […]
