    Monte Carlo Simulation of a Simple and Fast Method to Experimentally Determine the Partial Sensitivity of a Bare LR-115 Detector Using Planar Alpha Sources
    (RELX Group (Netherlands), 2023-01-01)
    Partial sensitivity of the bare LR-115 detector (KB) to radon or thoron, or any of their airborne progeny, is an essential component in the detector's calibration factor. Its experimental determination is complex, requires expensive and sophisticated instruments and facilities, and is time consuming. Using the TRACK_TEST and SRIM programs, and Monte Carlo simulations, the possibility of a simple and fast method to determine KB experimentally was demonstrated. The method is based on calculations of the average value of detection efficiencies (i.e., the cumulative efficiency) for alpha particles emitted by a planar alpha source placed at different distances from detectors. Source radius can be estimated from the energy of emitted alpha particles, detector radius, and parameters dependent on etching conditions. Varying the emission energy of alpha particles, the source and detector radii, and the source-detector distance step length, an average value of 0.02 tracks. cm−2 per Bq.d.m−3 (0.22 cm) was obtained assuming standard etching conditions. In addition to alpha electrodeposited sources, sealed sources such as those built with anodized aluminium sheets proved to be suitable for this proposal. Experimentally, KB can be estimated from: track densities registered in detectors exposed at different distances from the source, range of distances that produce visible tracks, and source activity. The developed method is much simpler and faster than the conventional method that uses standard sources of radon and its progeny and large chamber with controlled conditions.

    The Role of Substrates in 2D Spin-Crossover Systems: Insights From Monte Carlo Simulations Within the Ising-Like Model
    (Wiley, 2025-11-27)
    Spin-crossover (SCO) molecular solids are a class of coordination compounds exhibiting hysteretic thermal transitions between low-spin (LS) and high-spin (HS) states, making them capable of collective switching between these two states in response to external stimuli such as temperature, pressure, and electric fields. This bistable behavior directly paves the way for breakthrough technological applications in the field of molecular sensors, molecular switches, and actuators. For thermally induced spin transitions, the transition temperature ( T up ) on heating, at which the system switches from the LS to the HS, is strongly influenced by the ligands coordinating the metal center. In this study, we investigate the effect of the substrate on T up in SCO nanostructures, focusing on how subtle substrate-induced interactions can modulate the transition temperature. To this end, we model substrate effects through an extended Ising-like Hamiltonian, solved using Monte Carlo simulations. The results show that substrate interactions can be used to significantly fine-tune the thermal transition temperature, modify the width of the hysteresis, and induce either abrupt or gradual switching as needed. This groundbreaking control offers a radical new perspective for the design and optimization of next-generation SCO devices, enabling the creation, among other applications, of precision-engineered temperature sensors for complex systems.

    Measurement of the A dependence of the νμ charged-current quasielasticlike cross section as a function of muon and proton kinematics at ⟨Eᵥ⟩ ∼ 6 GeV
    (American Physical Society, 2025)
    The first simultaneous measurements of the νμ quasielasticlike cross section on C, CH, H₂O, Fe, and Pb targets as a function of kinematic imbalance variables in the plane transverse to the incoming neutrino direction are presented. These variables combine the muon and proton information to provide a new way to disentangle the effects of the nucleus in quasielasticlike processes. The data were obtained using a wideband νμ beam with ⟨Eᵥ⟩ ∼ 6 GeV. Cross-section ratios of the different target materials to CH are also shown. These measurements are used to explore the nature of the cross-section A scaling, as well as initial and final state interaction effects. Comparisons are made to predictions from a number of commonly used neutrino Monte Carlo event generators. The range of predictions of the different models tends to cover the data but the degree and consistency of the agreement suffers in regions, and on higher A targets, where the final state interactions are expected to be more pronounced.
