Modelling and development of a generic observatory to harvest and analyze big data
2021
Big Data fascinate, both because of the value they hold that can provide a significant advantage in decision-making, and because of the challenges that their exploitation represents. These challenges are present at several levels of analytics workflows. At the level of the creation of software architectures, the volume and the velocity require at least enough performance to handle the ingestion and storage of data. The data variety has also an impact, as several new storage systems have emerged, each one corresponding to a specific need. The polystores are systems that integrate this diversity, to gain flexibility compared to the data warehouses, now too rigid. However, this diversification…

Gamma Ray Spectra from Thermal Neutron Capture on Gadolinium-155 and Natural Gadolinium
2019
Natural gadolinium is widely used for its excellent thermal neutron capture cross section, because of its two major isotopes: $^{\rm 155}$Gd and $^{\rm 157}$Gd. We measured the $\gamma$-ray spectra produced from the thermal neutron capture on targets comprising a natural gadolinium film and enriched $^{\rm 155}$Gd (in Gd$_{2}$O$_{3}$ powder) in the energy range from 0.11 MeV to 8.0 MeV, using the ANNRI germanium spectrometer at MLF, J-PARC. The freshly analysed data of the $^{\rm 155}$Gd(n, $\gamma$) reaction are used to improve our previously developed model (ANNRI-Gd model) for the $^{\rm 157}$Gd(n, $\gamma$) reaction, and its performance confirmed with the independent data from the $^{\r…
Gamma Ray Spectrum from Thermal Neutron Capture on Gadolinium-157
2018
International audience; We have measured the |$\gamma$|-ray energy spectrum from the thermal neutron capture, |${}^{157}$|Gd|$(n,\gamma)$|, on an enriched |$^{157}$|Gd target (Gd|$_{2}$|O|$_{3}$|) in the energy range from 0.11 MeV up to about 8 MeV. The target was placed inside the germanium spectrometer of the ANNRI detector at J-PARC and exposed to a neutron beam from the Japan Spallation Neutron Source (JSNS). Radioactive sources (|$^{60}$|Co, |$^{137}$|Cs, and |$^{152}$|Eu) and the |$^{35}$|Cl(|$n$|,|$\gamma$|) reaction were used to determine the spectrometer‘s detection efficiency for |$\gamma$| rays at energies from 0.3 to 8.5 MeV. Using a Geant4-based Monte Carlo simulation of …
