The Pierre Auger Observatory is today the largest observatory built, with a ground surface of 3000 km², dedicated to the observation of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (>10^18 eV). At these energies we found two structures in the energy spectrum of the cosmic rays (CRs): the ankle (~ 4.10^18 eV) and the GZK cut-off (~5.10^19 eV) which are really interesting to understand the origin of the CRs...

In case of a severe accident scenario in sodium-cooled fast reactors, due to transient over power accident (TOPA) or unprotected loss of flow accident (ULOFA) the fuel might melt generating a hot mixture named corium. When the hot molten fuel (≈ 3000 K) issuing from the degraded core comes in contact with sodium, molten fuel-coolant interaction (FCI) will occur, which can be explosive. The...

The increasing global demand for energy and the consideration of environmental constraints have rekindled the interest for various forms of renewable energy production modes, including wind energy. In addition to the traditional wind turbines, the new idea is to convert wind energy directly into electrical energy without any moving parts.
The principle of direct conversion is actually quite...

A simple track-finding algorithm was developed to study tracks left by secondary particles, emerging from hadronic interactions in a highly granular electromagnetic calorimeter prototype. The predictions of two Monte Carlo Geant4 models are compared with experimental data, taken at FNAL in 2008, using a novel track-finding algorithm. Present Monte Carlo simulations provide a good`enter code...

T2K experiment is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment in Japan, muon (anti-)neutrino beam is produced at J-PARC in Tokai and detected then 295 km away at the Super-Kamiokande (SK), a water cherenkov far detector in Kamioka. T2K main puropose is to observe electronic (anti-)neutrino appareance and muonic (anti-)neutrino disappereace, oscillation parameters are determined then by...

A search for the Higgs boson produced in association with a pair of top quarks and its decay to two photons has been performed by the CMS Collaboration at the LHC experiment using pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13TeV with an integrated luminosity of 2.6/fb. This associated production is the only direct access to the top quark Yukawa coupling and decay to two photons has very clean...
