    La función de Autocaptura verifica la captura latido a latido. La búsqueda automática del umbral de estimulación, ajusta el potencial de salida 0.3 V. por encima del valor medido. Ante la pérdida de captura de un estímulo, el sistema emite un segundo impulso de 4.5 V. a los 65 mseg. para conseguir captura, evitando con ello pausas del ritmo cardíaco. La función de Autocaptura nos ofrece por ello una estimulación segura de bajo consumo. El sistema ha sido incorporado a un marcapasos VVI R de 12.8 gr. de peso y 5.9 cm3 de volumen, de estimulación unipolar y detección bipolar. Presentamos la experiencia de un estudio multicéntrico que incluye 113 pacientes, 57 hombres y 56 mujeres. La edad media fue de 76 anos (45 - 93). La indicación ECG fue de fibrilación auricular con pobre respuesta ventricular en el 84% de los casos y de bloqueo A-V en el restante 16%. Se han revisado los protocolos de 112 controles de alta hospitalaria, 107 de 30 dias, 94 de 3 meses y 49 de 6 meses. En todos los casos se ha practicado un registro Holter de 24 horas al mes de la implantacion. EI valor medio de umbral de estimulación en el momenta de la implantación fue de 0.6 V., a 1 mes de 1.3 V., a los 3 meses de 1.3 V. Y a los 6 meses de 1.2 V. Los valores medios medidos de onda R intrínseca / onda R evocada fueron en la implantación de 14.7/10.2 mV., al mes 16.8/ 10.0 mV., a los 3 meses 16.5/10.2 mV. ya los 6 meses 17.5/10.2 mV. Se ha calculado un consumo medio de 3.9 ± 0.8 mAo con 10 que la longevidad del generador resulta de entre 7 y 8 anos. El análisis latido a latido de 3.7 millones de estímulos de los registros Holter, nos confirma que cada perdida de captura ha sido detectada y seguida de un estímulo de seguridad efectivo. Conclusion: La función Autocaptura posee la habilidad de cambiar automaticamente el potencial de salida en consonancia con el umbral de estimulación, y por ello nos permite olrecer una terapia de estimulacion segura y liable con bajo consumo energético

    Long-term gamma-ray observations of the binary HESS J0632+057 with H.E.S.S., MAGIC and VERITAS

    The gamma-ray binary HESS J0632+057 has been observed at very-high energies (E >> 100 GeV) for more than ten years by the major systems of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. We present a summary of results obtained with the H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS experiments based on roughly 440 h of observations in total. This includes a discussion of an unusually bright TeV outburst of HESS J0632+057 in January 2018. The updated gamma-ray light curve now covers all phases of the orbital period with significant detections in almost all orbital phases. Results are discussed in context with simultaneous observations with the X-ray Telescope onboard the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory.Comment: Proceedings of the 36th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC2019) Madison, WI July 24-Aug 1, 201

    Measurement of the Analyzing Power in pd(pp)n\vec{p}d \to (pp)n \\with a Fast Forward 1S0^1S_0--Diproton

    Full text link
    A measurement of the analyzing power AyA_y of the pd(pp)+n\vec{p}d \to (pp) + n reaction was carried out at beam energies of 0.5 and 0.8 GeV by detection of a fast forward proton pair of small excitation energy Epp<3E_{pp} < 3 MeV. The kinematically complete experiment made use of the ANKE spectrometer at the internal beam of COSY and a deuterium cluster--jet target. For the first time the SS--wave dominance in the fast diproton is experimentally demonstrated in this reaction. While at Tp=0.8T_p=0.8 GeV the measured analyzing power AyA_y vanishes, it reaches almost unity at Tp=0.5T_p=0.5 GeV for neutrons scattered at θnc.m.=167\theta_n^{c.m.}=167^\circ. The results are compared with a model taking into account one--nucleon exchange, single scattering and Δ\Delta (1232) excitation in the intermediate state. The model describes fairly well the unpolarized cross section obtained earlier by us and the analyzing power at 0.8 GeV, it fails to reproduce the angular dependence of AyA_y at 0.5 GeV.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, 1 tabl

    Progress in Monte Carlo design and optimization of the Cherenkov Telescope Array

    Full text link
    The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will be an instrument covering a wide energy range in very-high-energy (VHE) gamma rays. CTA will include several types of telescopes, in order to optimize the performance over the whole energy range. Both large-scale Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of CTA super-sets (including many different possible CTA layouts as sub-sets) and smaller-scale simulations dedicated to individual aspects were carried out and are on-going. We summarize results of the prior round of large-scale simulations, show where the design has now evolved beyond the conservative assumptions of the prior round and present first results from the on-going new round of MC simulations.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures.

    Determination of Deuteron Beam Polarizations at COSY

    Get PDF
    The vector and tensor polarizations of a deuteron beam have been measured using elastic deuteron-carbon scattering at 75.6 MeV and deuteron-proton scattering at 270 MeV. After acceleration to 1170 MeV inside the COSY ring, the polarizations of the deuterons were checked by studying a variety of nuclear reactions using a cluster target at the ANKE magnet spectrometer placed at an internal target position of the storage ring. All these measurements were consistent with the absence of depolarization during acceleration and provide a number of secondary standards that can be used in subsequent experiments at the facility.Comment: 12 pages, 13 figure

    Search for eta-mesic 4He in the dd->3He n pi0 and dd->3He p pi- reactions with the WASA-at-COSY facility

    Full text link
    The search for 4He-eta bound states was performed with the WASA-at-COSY facility via the measurement of the excitation function for the dd->3He n pi0 and dd->3He p pi- processes. The beam momentum was varied continuously between 2.127 GeV/c and 2.422 GeV/c, corresponding to the excess energy for the dd->4He eta reaction ranging from Q=-70 MeV to Q=30 MeV. The luminosity was determined based on the dd->3He n reaction and quasi-free proton-proton scattering via dd->pp n_spectator n_spectator reactions. The excitation functions determined independently for the measured reactions do not reveal a structure which could be interpreted as a narrow mesic nucleus. Therefore, the upper limits of the total cross sections for the bound state production and decay in dd->(4He-eta)_bound->3He n pi0 and dd->(4He-eta)_bound->3He p pi- processes were determined taking into account the isospin relation between both the channels considered. The results of the analysis depend on the assumptions of the N* momentum distribution in the anticipated mesic-4He. Assuming as in the previous works, that this is identical with the distribution of nucleons bound with 20 MeV in 4He, we determined that (for the mesic bound state width in the range from 5 MeV to 50 MeV) the upper limits at 90% confidence level are about 3 nb and about 6 nb for npi0 and ppi- channels, respectively. However, based on the recent theoretical findings of the N*(1535) momentum distribution in the N*-3He nucleus bound by 3.6 MeV, we find that the WASA-at-COSY detector acceptance decreases and hence the corresponding upper limits are 5 nb and 10 nb for npi0 and ppi- channels respectively.Comment: This article will be submitted to JHE
