A new low intensity beam profiler for SPIRAL2

WEPF14International audienceIn the framework of SPIRAL 2 ion beams, several beam profile monitors are presently being developed at GANIL. One of them is a low-intensity beam-profile monitor that works as a secondary electron detector. This Emission-Foil Monitor (EFM) will be used in the radioactive beam lines of SPIRAL2 and in the experimental rooms of this new facility. The ions produce secondary electrons when they are stopped in an aluminium emissive foil. The electrons are then accelerated using an electric field and guided using a magnetic field to a double-stage microchannel plate (MCP). A 2D pixellated pad plane placed below the MCP is used to collect the signals. The magnetic field created by permanent magnets in a closed magnetic circuit configuration permits the beam-profile reconstruction to be achieved with a good resolution. The EFM can visualize beam-profile intensities between only a few pps to as much as 109 pps and with energies as low as several keV. This profiler has been under development since 2009 and is currently manufactured. Recent results of this monitor are presented in this article

VigNet: Grounding Language in Graphics using Frame Semantics

This paper introduces Vignette Semantics, a lexical semantic theory based on Frame Semantics that represents conceptual and graphical relations. We also describe a lexical resource that implements this theory, VigNet, and its application in text-to-scene generation

Ghomâra

Le nom Ensemble de neuf tribus du Rif occidental qui, malgré sa petite taille, a conservé le nom des Ghomâra rappelant le rôle important que ceux-ci jouèrent pendant tout le Haut Moyen Age. Selon Ibn Khaldoun, les Ghomâra (écrit aussi Ghmara) seraient d’ascendance masmoudienne et compteraient parmi les plus anciens peuples du Maroc. Leur ancêtre éponyme, Ghomer, était fils de Masmouda. Mais, à d’autres moments, le même Ibn Khaldoun leur attribue une origine arabe : Ghomâra, signifierait “mass..

Kunnskapssenteret. Seksjon for velferdstjenester. En underveisvurdering

Denne underveisevalueringen av Seksjon for velferdstjenester ved Kunnskapssenteret for helsetjenester er utført på oppdrag av Kunnskapssenteret. Hensikten med evalueringen er å komme med innspill til det videre arbeid med å utvikle seksjonen og samspillet mellom denne og de deltakende velferdsdirektoratene

Greniers

Les sociétés berbères rurales n’ont pas un système unique de conservation des récoltes. Les lieux où sont entreposés et protégés les produits végétaux destinés à la consommation sont très divers. Le silo creusé dans le sol Le plus archaïque et le plus commun est le silo creusé dans le sol. Il s’imposait dans la zone semi-aride où règne l’élevage des ovins et où se pratique une céréaliculture risquée. L’existence d’une croûte pédologique près de la surface qui recouvre des sédiments meubles fa..
