Abstract Background External ripening in Citrus fruits is morphologically characterized by a
colour shift from green to orange due to the degradation of chlorophylls and the …

Single crystalline epitaxial GaN films were irradiated with fast (E> 1MeV) or with fast and
thermal neutrons. These irradiation conditions allow the separation of the effect of …

The LHC optics is based in the extensive use of superconducting magnets covering 23 km
inside the tunnel. The associated cryogenic system for keeping the magnets in nominal …

Power operational amplifiers were irradiated in a mixed neutron and gamma radiation
environment. These experiments showed that the degradation of the power operational …

The fast neutron irradiation facility of the Portuguese Research Reactor was characterized
after the reduction in uranium enrichment and rearrangement of the core configuration. In …

In this paper the relative performance of different simulation approaches is examined,
focusing on the neutron fluence rate distribution in a nuclear reactor core. The main scope of …

Superheated droplet detectors (SDDs) have been investigated for applications in neutron
dosimetry and spectrometry. Varying the detector temperature, it is possible to change the …

A reliable voltage reference is mandatory in mixed-signal systems. However, this family of
components can undergo very long single event transients when operating in radiation …

Radiation tests have shown the existence of inactivity windows in analog switches. It means
that the devices lose their ability to switch between ON and OFF states if the total radiation …

Two new types of electronic cards have been tested in CERN's CHARM irradiation facility.
The cards are a complete redesign of a programmable voltage power supply and a revision …
