Experimental study of wakefields driven by a self-modulating proton bunch in plasma

Ambrogio Fasoli, Yiming Li, Ivo Furno, Patrick Blanchard, Alan Howling, Yanis Andrebe, Rémy Jacquier, Riccardo Agnello, Sun Hee Kim, Ishkhan Gorgisyan, Shuai Liu

We study experimentally the longitudinal and transverse wakefields driven by a highly relativistic proton bunch during self-modulation in plasma. We show that the wakefields' growth and amplitude increase with increasing seed amplitude as well as with the ...

Analyse multi-échelle de n-grammes sur 200 années d'archives de presse

Vincent Christian Buntinx

The recent availability of large corpora of digitized texts over several centuries opens the way to new forms of studies on the evolution of languages. In this thesis, we study a corpus of 4 million press articles covering a period of 200 years. The thesis ...

Scanning Gate Microscope for Cold Atomic Gases

Jean-Philippe Brantut, Samuel Häusler

We present a scanning probe microscopy technique for spatially resolving transport in cold atomic gases, in close analogy with scanning gate microscopy in semiconductor physics. The conductance of a quantum point contact connected to two atomic reservoirs ...

Anomalous dielectric peak in Mg and Li doped ZnO ceramics and thin films

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev

In this manuscript we report dielectric measurements of Mg and Li doped ZnO ceramics and thin films of various compositions. We have tried to reproduce the reported ferroelectriclike behavior in doped ZnO ceramics and thin films and observed anomalous diel ...

3D-Spiral small antenna design and realization for biomedical telemetry in the MICS band

Juan Ramon Mosig, Anja Skrivervik, Jean-François Zürcher, Francesco Merli

This work presents the design and realization procedure of small implantable antenna for biotelemetry applications. The radiator occupies a volume smaller than 3 cm(3) (without its biocompatible insulation), is well matched within the Medical Implanted Com ...

Supporting Dimensional Analysis in SystemC-AMS

Alain Vachoux, Torsten Mähne

This paper will introduce new modeling capabilities for SystemC-AMS to describe energy conserving multi-domain systems in a formal and consistent way at a high level of abstraction. To this end, all variables and parameters of the system model need to be a ...

An improved volume measurement for determining soil water retention curve

Lyesse Laloui, Hervé Péron

The complete determination of soil water retention curve requires the sample volume to be measured, in order to calculate its void ratio and saturation degree. During drying in the pressure plate apparatus, cracks often appear in the sample altering its de ...

Advances in volume measurement in unsaturated triaxial tests

Lyesse Laloui, Laurent Vulliet, Hervé Péron

In unsaturated soil mechanics testing, total volume change of the specimen is related to both water and air volume changes and cannot be measured with the same techniques as in conventional saturated soil mechanics. Over the years, several methods have bee ...
