Radiation Tolerance of CMOS Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors with Self-Biased Pixels
CMOS Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) are proposed as a technology for
various vertex detectors in nuclear and particle physics. We discuss the
mechanisms of ionizing radiation damage on MAPS hosting the the dead time free,
so-called self bias pixel. Moreover, we discuss radiation hardened sensor
designs which allow operating detectors after exposing them to irradiation
doses above 1 Mra
CORSIA: The first internationally adopted approach to calculate life-cycle GHG emissions for aviation fuels
The aviation sector has grown at a significant pace in recent years, and despite improvements in aircraft efficiency, the sector's impact on climate change is a growing concern. To address this concern, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) established the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) to help reduce aviation greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This paper presents a methodology agreed by the 193 ICAO member states to evaluate the life-cycle GHG emissions of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs), in the CORSIA system. The core life-cycle assessment and induced land use change values of SAFs are presented to determine the GHG savings of certified pathways. The paper aims to present that a number of SAFs can yield significant life-cycle emission reductions compared to petroleum-derived jet fuel. This implies the potentially major role of SAFs in reducing aviation's carbon footprint
