Abstract CUORE Upgrade with Particle IDentification (CUPID) is a foreseen ton-scale array of Li 2 MoO 4 (LMO) cryogenic calorimeters double readout heat and light signals. Its scientific goal to fully explore the inverted hierarchy neutrino masses in search for neutrinoless beta decay 100 Mo. Pile-up standard candidate isotope relevant background. We generate pile-up events via injection Joule ...

The thermo-mechanical behaviour of concrete energy pile foundations with different single and double U-tube shapes incorporated was analysed using the Comsol Multi-physics package. For the analysis, a 3D numerical model in real scale of the concrete pile and surrounding soil was simulated regarding actual operation of ground heat exchangers (GHE) and the surrounding ambient temperature. Based o...

In this paper we analyse the behaviour of a pile-up of vertically periodic walls of edge dislocations at an obstacle, represented by a locked dislocation wall. Starting from a continuum non-local energy Ec modelling the interactions—at a typical length scale of 1/c— of the walls subjected to a constant shear stress, we derive a first-order approximation of the energy by Γ-convergence in the lim...

We present a method how to detect the WH → lνbb̄ in the high luminosity LHC environment with the CMS detector. This study is performed with fast detector response simulation including high luminosity event pile up. The main aspects of reconstruction are pile up jet rejection, identification of b-jets and improvement of Higgs mass resolution. The detection potential in the SM for mH0 ≤ 130 GeV/c ...

Instrumented indentation methods, which provide a continuous record of the variation of indentation load, P, as a function of the depth of penetration, h, into the indented specimen, have been the topics of considerable attention in recent years. Such interest can be attributed to the following possible applications of the methods. (1) Properties such as Young’s modulus, yield strength, and str...
