L'idrochinesiterapia nel recupero dell'arto superiore dopo allungamento dei flessori del gomito e asportazione di paraosteoartropatia di spalla in so…
2007
La spasticità, oltre a determinare alterazioni dei fisiologici schemi di movimento, siaccompagna a complicanze musoclo- scheletriche per le quali spesso si ricorre all'intervento chirurgico. La riabilitazione, partendo da un'accurata valutazione pre e postoperatoria del malato, da un lato mira al recupero e al mantenimento dell'articolarità, dall'altro al ripristino della motilità volontaria e della destrezza dei movimenti. L'idrochinesiterapia offre evidenti vantaggi nel trattamento di questi soggetti. In questo lavoro si espone la nostra esperienza su un paziente di 38 anni con esiti di trauma cranio-encefalico sottoposto dapprima ad intervento chirurgico sull'arto superiore ed in seguito…
<title>Studies of the activation background in CsI(Tl) detectors</title>
1993
CsI scintillation crystals are widely used as detection in (gamma) -ray astronomy observations. In the MeV energy region, one of the most important background sources in CsI is the (beta) decays induced in the crystal by cosmic ray protons and their secondaries. One recent idea for reducing this background is to use discrete detector arrays to reject the large amount of localized (beta) decay events. Two experiments were carried out with 1 cm3 CsI crystals bombarded with energetic proton beams and fast/thermal neutrons, with the aim of evaluating the effectiveness of this method in pixelated (1 cm3) CsI detectors. The ratio of the number of decays resulting in single site and multiple site …

Mitigation of backgrounds from cosmogenic 137 Xe in xenon gas experiments using 3 He neutron capture
2020
[EN] Xe-136 is used as the target medium for many experiments searching for 0 nu beta beta. Despite underground operation, cosmic muons that reach the laboratory can produce spallation neutrons causing activation of detector materials. A potential background that is difficult to veto using muon tagging comes in the form of Xe-137 created by the capture of neutrons on Xe-136. This isotope decays via beta decay with a half-life of 3.8 min and a Q(beta) of similar to 4.16 MeV. This work proposes and explores the concept of adding a small percentage of He-3 to xenon as a means to capture thermal neutrons and reduce the number of activations in the detector volume. When using this technique we f…

A pulsed laser technique for an evaluation of the spall resistance of sputtered oxide films: diagnostic by interferometric probing
1998
Abstract A pulsed laser technique, based on conventional laser acoustics testing, has been developed to define the spall resistance of sputtered oxide films on a metallic target. Direct irradiation of the coated side of the sample generates an acoustic source at the inner film–metal interface. A model of the laser-induced epicentral displacements at the opposite side that takes into account the confining effect of the coating has been proposed to evaluate the critical laser irradiance corresponding to progressive damages at the inner film–metal interface, i.e. interface delamination, film spallation and film expulsion, respectively. The behavior of Al 2 O 3 and ZrO 2 films deposited by PVD …
The n_TOF facility: Neutron beams for challenging future measurements at CERN
2016
The CERN n TOF neutron beam facility is characterized by a very high instantaneous neutron flux, excellent TOF resolution at the 185 m long flight path (EAR-1), low intrinsic background and coverage of a wide range of neutron energies, from thermal to a few GeV. These characteristics provide a unique possibility to perform high-accuracy measurements of neutron-induced reaction cross-sections and angular distributions of interest for fundamental and applied Nuclear Physics. Since 2001, the n TOF Collaboration has collected a wealth of high quality nuclear data relevant for nuclear astrophysics, nuclear reactor technology, nuclear medicine, etc. The overall efficiency of the experimental prog…
Neutron capture cross section measurements for nuclear astrophyisics at CERN n_TOF
2005
A series of neutron capture cross section measurements of interest to nuclear astrophysics have been recently performed at n_TOF, the neutron spallation source operating at CERN. The low repetition frequency of the proton beam driver, the extremely high instantaneous neutron flux, and the low background conditions in the experimental area are optimal for capture cross section measurements on low-mass or radioactive samples. An overview of the measurements performed during the two experimental campaigns in 2002 and 2003 is presented with special emphasis on the measurement of the capture cross sections of the Os isotopes relevant for the cosmochronology based on the Re/Os clock. http://www.s…
