Trace elements analysis of 16th-century silver coins minted in Nantes - coupled HE-PIXE and p-XRF measurements

Previous studies have identified the origin of silver extracted from South American mines -Mexico and Potosí- and its circulation through trade between Spain and France during the second half of the 16th century. In this context, a selection of silver coins minted in Nantes was a...

Measurements of the production of W$$^{\pm }$$ and Z$$^0$$ bosons in pp collisions at $$\sqrt{s} = 13$$ TeV

Abstract Measurements of the production of the W $$^{\pm }$$ ± and Z $$^0$$ 0 bosons at midrapidity in pp collisions at $$\sqrt{s} = 13$$ s = 13 TeV with ALICE at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are presented. The W $$^{\pm }$$ ± and Z $$^0$$ 0 bosons are detected via their (di)e...

Pandemonium free data for the JEFF-project

Abstract Reactor decay heat is due to the decay of both fission products and neutron activated fuel and reactor materials. At relatively short cooling times it is dominated by the beta decay of fission products. The calculation of the decay heat contribution of a particular fissi...
