This paper presents a computer vision system for tracking and predicting flying balls in 3-D from a stereo-camera. It pursues a “textbook-style” approach with a robust circle detector and probabilistic models for ball motion and circle detection handled by state-of-theart estimation algorithms. In particular we use a Multiple-Hypotheses Tracker (MHT) with an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) for ea...

Background: Several landmine detection methods, based on nuclear techniques, have been suggested during the recent years. Neutron energy moderation, neutron-induced gamma emission, neutron and gamma attenuation, and fast neutron backscattering are nuclear-based methods used for landmine detection. The aim of this study is to use backscattered neutron for landmine detection. Materials ...

time-dependent schrödinger equation for a 1-d model of hydrogen molecular ion h2+ in intenselaser field linearly polarized along the molecular axis is solved. ionization rates are calculated for differentinitial states. the evolution of electronic wavefunction at fixed inter-nuclear separations are simulated andanalyzed. the results obtained for the ground state of this 1-d model of h2+ show ap...

The Silicon Tracking System (STS) is the central detector of the CBM experiment. It serves for track reconstruction with good momentum measurement (of about of 1%) of all charged particles produced in high multiplicity nuclear reactions at the target [1]. For this task a lowmass silicon tracking detector system of high granularity is needed. We are currently studying the arrangement of the trac...

A high energy primary cosmic ray interacts in the upper atmosphere producing a large number of pions and kaons, which decay yielding muons and muon neutrinos; the muons decay generating muon and electron neutrinos. These neutrinos are produced in a spherical shell at 10 − 20 km above ground and travel towards the Earth. The νμ can be detected by an underground experiment as muons, after their c...

Neutron detectors are an essential tool for the development of many research fields, as nuclear, particle and astroparticle physics well radiotherapy radiation safety. Since neutrons cannot directly ionize, their detection is only possible via nuclear reactions. Consequently, neutron-based experimental techniques related to charged or electromagnetic originating from neutron-induced The study f...
