Measurement of the 171Tm beta spectrum

The beta spectrum of the main transition of the 171Tm was measured using a double focalizing spectrometer. The instrument was lately improved in order to reduce its low energy threshold to 34 keV. We used the spectrometer to measure the energy end-point of ...

Schmitt trigger-based control strategy for the discharge phase of an ultra-high-voltage bidirectional flyback

Yves Perriard, Alexis Boegli, Raphaël Johannes Charles Mottet

The control strategy to discharge a capacitive load such as a dielectric elastomer actuator charged to several kilo-volts is critical to obtain a safe and reliable actuation. In the case of this publication, an ultra-high voltage bidirectional flyback conv ...

Control Strategy for the Discharge Phase of an Ultra-High Voltage (>7kV) Bi-Directional Flyback Converter Driving Capacitive Actuators

Yves Perriard, Alexis Boegli, Raphaël Johannes Charles Mottet

Dielectric Elastomer Actuators (DEAs) require ultra high voltages in the order of several kilo volts to operate. To supply such voltages, a DC-DC flyback converter topology was selected. One of the main advantage of using such a structure is the possibilit ...

Single photons from dissipation in coupled cavities

Vincenzo Savona, Hugo Pierre Alexandre Flayac

We propose a single-photon source based on a pair of weakly nonlinear optical cavities subject to a one-directional dissipative coupling. When both cavities are driven by mutually coherent fields, sub-Poissonian light is generated in the target cavity even ...

The nu MSM and muon to electron conversion experiments

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Laurent Canetti

We review briefly the different constraints on the three right-handed neutrinos of the nu MSM, an extension of the Standard Model that can explain baryon asymmetry, dark matter and neutrino masses. We include in the discussion the proposed experiments on m ...

Asymptotic safety of gravity and the Higgs-boson mass

Mikhail Chapochnikov

If gravity is asymptotically safe, then the ultimate theory might be just the standard model (minimally supplemented by a few light particles to accommodate neutrino masses and oscillations, dark matter, and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe) plus gravi ...

Constraints on sterile neutrino as a dark matter candidate from the diffuse X-ray background

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy

Sterile neutrinos with masses in the kilo-electronvolt range are viable candidates for the warm dark matter. We analyse existing data for the extragalactic diffuse X-ray background for signatures of sterile neutrino decay. The absence of a detectable signa ...
