Optimal β-beam at the CERN-SPS
2006
In this talk, based on the work [J. Burguet-Castell et al., Nucl. Phys. B 725 (2005) 306], we present an analysis of the sensitivity to the mixing angle θ 13 and the CP-violating phase δ that could be achieved by a β-beam experiment based at the SPS accelerator at CERN. We estimate the optimal γ boost of the 6He and 18Ne ions for the proposed baseline CERN-Frejus (130 km), and also perform a simultaneous optimization of the ion boost and the baseline. A possible improvement of the current SPS accelerator is considered as well. After comparing the sensitivities of all relevant setups, we conclude that a β-beam running at the maximum acceleration achievable by the SPS, γ = 150 / 250 , and wit…
Simultaneous optimization of harvest schedule and measurement strategy
2013
In many recent studies, the value of forest inventory information in the harvest scheduling has been examined. Usually only the profitability of measuring simultaneously all the stands in the area is examined. Yet, it may be more profitable to concentrate the measurement efforts to some subset of them. In this paper, the authors demonstrate that stochastic optimization can be used for defining the optimal measurement strategy simultaneously with the harvest decisions. The results show that without end-inventory constraints, it was most profitable to measure the stands that were just below the medium age. Measuring the oldest stands was not profitable at all. It turned out to be profitable t…
