Participando se entiende la gente : metodología para la mejora de las competencias instrumentales

Este proyecto quiere favorecer el desarrollo de las competencias en el área de razonamiento y cálculo numérico; y en el área de comprensión y expresión oral y escrita. Los objetivos generales son reducir el índice de fracaso escolar, mejorar las competencias matemáticas, mejorar también las estrategias de escritura y lectura y potenciar el rendimiento académico del alumnado. En relación a la lectura y escritura destacan objetivos específicos como conocer los principales tipos de texto y las diferentes formas de elocución; ampliar el vocabulario; comprender y analizar todo tipo de textos; crear o producir textos con criterio personal y respetar las opiniones ajenas; valorar la lectura y la bilioteca como fuentes de información; y respetar las normas que rigen el intercambio comunicativo en diálogos, coloquios o debates. Para la mejora de competencias científico-matemáticas se busca apoyar el trabajo de los alumnos y resolver sus dudas y dificultades con mediante el desdoble, refuerzos o agrupamientos de clase. El instituto pone en práctica cuatro medidas para llevar a cabo estos objetivos. La primera consiste en incluir en el aula dos profesores, de este modo ambos comparten un mismo espacio y un mismo grupo en el que se encuentran alumnos de compensatoria e integración. De esta forma, se pueden atender las necesidades de todos más eficazmente. la segunda consiste en hacer grupos heterogéneos y flexibles de cuatro o cinco alumnos para trabajar en equipo y se evita el descuelgue de algunos chicos del ritmo de la clase. La tercera es un taller de creación literaria con tres tipos de relatos de aventuras, de miedo y un relato que incluye una receta de cocina. Además se organizan tertulias literarias en las que profesores y alumnos tienen que leer, sustraer las ideas principales de la obra seleccionada y debatirla y comentarla. Por último, se diseña en turno de tarde unas clases de apoyo escolar a las materias científico-matemáticas para dar respuesta y explicación a las dudas planteadas en las clases. Para desarrollar la evaluación se utilizan instrumentos como cuestionarios, grupos de discusión y entrevistas individuales. Se aportan como anexos modelos de los distintos custionarios, actividades para grupos y modelos de evaluación..Madrid (Comunidad Autónoma). Consejería de Educación.

Highly-parallelized simulation of a pixelated LArTPC on a GPU

The rapid development of general-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU) is allowing the implementation of highly-parallelized Monte Carlo simulation chains for particle physics experiments. This technique is particularly suitable for the simulation of a pixelated charge readout for time projection chambers, given the large number of channels that this technology employs. Here we present the first implementation of a full microphysical simulator of a liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) equipped with light readout and pixelated charge readout, developed for the DUNE Near Detector. The software is implemented with an end-to-end set of GPU-optimized algorithms. The algorithms have been written in Python and translated into CUDA kernels using Numba, a just-in-time compiler for a subset of Python and NumPy instructions. The GPU implementation achieves a speed up of four orders of magnitude compared with the equivalent CPU version. The simulation of the current induced on $10^3$ pixels takes around 1 ms on the GPU, compared with approximately 10 s on the CPU. The results of the simulation are compared against data from a pixel-readout LArTPC prototype

The DUNE Far Detector Vertical Drift Technology, Technical Design Report

International audienceDUNE is an international experiment dedicated to addressing some of the questions at the forefront of particle physics and astrophysics, including the mystifying preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early universe. The dual-site experiment will employ an intense neutrino beam focused on a near and a far detector as it aims to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy and to make high-precision measurements of the PMNS matrix parameters, including the CP-violating phase. It will also stand ready to observe supernova neutrino bursts, and seeks to observe nucleon decay as a signature of a grand unified theory underlying the standard model. The DUNE far detector implements liquid argon time-projection chamber (LArTPC) technology, and combines the many tens-of-kiloton fiducial mass necessary for rare event searches with the sub-centimeter spatial resolution required to image those events with high precision. The addition of a photon detection system enhances physics capabilities for all DUNE physics drivers and opens prospects for further physics explorations. Given its size, the far detector will be implemented as a set of modules, with LArTPC designs that differ from one another as newer technologies arise. In the vertical drift LArTPC design, a horizontal cathode bisects the detector, creating two stacked drift volumes in which ionization charges drift towards anodes at either the top or bottom. The anodes are composed of perforated PCB layers with conductive strips, enabling reconstruction in 3D. Light-trap-style photon detection modules are placed both on the cryostat's side walls and on the central cathode where they are optically powered. This Technical Design Report describes in detail the technical implementations of each subsystem of this LArTPC that, together with the other far detector modules and the near detector, will enable DUNE to achieve its physics goals
