Detection potential of the KM3NeT detector for high-energy neutrinos from the Fermi bubbles
A recent analysis of the Fermi Large Area Telescope data provided evidence for a high-intensity emission of high-energy gamma rays with a E-2 spectrum from two large areas, spanning 50 above and below the Galactic centre (the "Fermi bubbles"). A hadronic mechanism was proposed for this gamma-ray emission making the Fermi bubbles promising source candidates of high-energy neutrino emission. In this work Monte Carlo simulations regarding the detectability of high-energy neutrinos from the Fermi bubbles with the future multi-km(3) neutrino telescope KM3NeT in the Mediterranean Sea are presented. Under the hypothesis that the gamma-ray emission is completely due to hadronic processes, the resul…
Intelligenza emotiva e metaemotiva
Costrutto tra i più complessi e importanti della psicologia generale e tra i più utilizzati nella psicologia applicata e dell’educazione, l’intelligenza emotiva è indagata qui illustrando sia i modelli interpretativi sia i metodi e gli strumenti per misurarla e promuoverla. Conoscere il «come funziona» delle emozioni porta poi ad affinare un altro costrutto cruciale, quello dell’intelligenza metaemotiva. INDICE DEL VOLUME: Prefazione. - I. Che cos’è l’intelligenza emotiva? - II. Emozioni e intelligenza emotiva. - III. Tra personalità e intelligenze. - IV. L’intelligenza emotiva e il problema della misurazione. - V. L’importanza dell’intelligenza emotiva. - VI. L’intelligenza emotiva nell’ar…
Expansion cone for the 3-inch PMTs of the KM3NeT optical modules
[EN] Detection of high-energy neutrinos from distant astrophysical sources will open a new window on the Universe. The detection principle exploits the measurement of Cherenkov light emitted by charged particles resulting from neutrino interactions in the matter containing the telescope. A novel multi-PMT digital optical module (DOM) was developed to contain 31 3-inch photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). In order to maximize the detector sensitivity, each PMT will be surrounded by an expansion cone which collects photons that would otherwise miss the photocathode. Results for various angles of incidence with respect to the PMT surface indicate an increase in collection efficiency by 30% on average…
