13C （α,n） 16O background in a liquid scintillator based neutrino experiment

α from natural radioactivity may interact with a nucleus and emit a neutron. The reaction introduces the background to the liquid scintillator （LS） based neutrino experiments. In the LS detector,α comes from 23Su, 232Th, and 210Po decay chains. For Gadolinium-doped LS （Gd-LS） detector, α also comes from 227Ac. The nucleus 13C is a natural component of Carbon which is rich in the LS. The background rate and spectrum should be subtracted carefully from the neutrino candidates. This paper describes the calculation of neutron yield and spectrum with uncertainty estimated. The results are relevant for many existing neutrino experiments and future LS or Gd-LS based experiments.     

Effect of Silane Flow Rate on Structure and Corrosion Resistance of Ti-Si-N Thin Films Deposited by a Hybrid Cathodic Arc and Chemical Vapour Process

Ti-Si-N thin flms with different silicon contents are deposited by a cathodic arc technique in an Ar＋N2＋SiH4 mixture atmosphere. With the increase of silane flow rate, the content of silicon in the Ti-Si-N films varies from 2.0 at. % to 12.2 at. %. Meanwhile, the cross-sectional morphology of these films changes from an apparent columnar microstructure to a dense fine-grained structure. The x-ray diffractometer （XRD） and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） results show that the Ti-Si-N film consists of TiN crystallites and SiNx amorphous phase. The corrosion resistance is improved with the increase of silane flow rate. Growth defects in the films produced play a key role in the corrosion process, especially for the local corrosion. The porosity of the films decreases from 0.13%to 0.00032% by introducing silane at the flow rate of 14sccm.

A Lay-up-Oriented CFRP-Substrate Metamaterial Absorber with High Insensitivity to Polarization

Metamaterial absorbers with carbon fiber reinforced polymer(CFRP)substrates, which are called metaCFRPs, have recently gained recognition for their excellent mechanical and electromagnetic performance. Different from traditional metamaterial absorbers with an isotropic substrate, meta-CFRPs with a highly anisotropic CFRP substrate are facing challenges in acquiring polarization-insensitive absorption. Here, a lay-up-oriented structure design method is proposed to solve this problem. Considering ...     

高效的基于傅里叶单像素成像的亚像素级边缘检测技术

针对无法实现先验的边缘检测场景,并解决边缘提取效率过低的问题,提出一种更高效的基于傅里叶单像素成像的亚像素级边缘检测方法。该方法结合快速傅里叶单像素成像,减少图像算法的相移步数,在原有四步相移的基础上分别实现了三步相移与两步相移边缘检测。该算法上的改进能够在同等采样数下扩大参与边缘提取的频谱宽度,从而提升边缘提取效率。数值仿真结果表明,与四步相移亚像素级边缘检测相比,无噪声条件下两步相移在655~13 100次左右的采样数区间内峰值信噪比增长幅度高出2.27 dB,噪声条件下低于0.054噪声浮动比率时两步相移方法可以获得比四步相移更高的边缘提取质量。该方法可以一定程度上提升边缘提取效率,同时促进单像素成像领域与图像处理方向的技术交叉和应用化发展。
