A novel FRS Data Acquisition

In the experiments involving the use of in-flight radioactive beams the selectivity and the detection of the rare products are very demanding. Using faster processing and data acquisition (DAQ) is also important and can be crucial for the realization of those experiments that otherwise may require a non realistic beam time. In particular, here we concern with experiments which can be performed ...

Performance of a Prototype MR-TOF-MS for the LEB of the Super-FRS

A multiple-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer (MR-TOF-MS) [1] will be an important part of the MATS/LaSpec beam-line at the Low-Energy-Branch (LEB) of the Super-FRS at FAIR. The MR-TOF-MS is a fast (∼ms), multi-purpose, non-scanning mass spectrometer with single-ion sensitivity and will be used as a broadband mass spectrometer, as isobar separator or for direct mass measurements of ver...

THE SWINTON SIX: THE IMPACT OF STATE v. SWINTON ON THE AUTHENTICATION OF DIGITAL IMAGES

“[T]he machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them.”1 Nowhere is this more apparent than in the struggle between rules of law and scientific and technological advances. Our court system’s response to this challenge is scrutiny and adaptability, two traits evidenced by the ebb and flow of requirements for authentication of digital images. ...

Williams–Campbell syndrome: a case report

INTRODUCTION Williams-Campbell syndrome, also known as bronchomalacia, is a rare disorder characterized by a deficiency of cartilage in subsegmental bronchi, leading to distal airway collapse and bronchiectasis. There have been few reports about patients affected by saccular bronchiectasis, paracicatricial emphysema, and diminished cartilage. These are all characteristic of Williams-Campbell sy...
