Geant4 Monte Carlo simulations for the LPCTrap setup

The LPCTrap setup at GANIL is fully operational since 2006. The first breakthrough was the detection of 100000 coincidences between the $ \beta$ particles and the recoil ions from the decay of ⁶He⁺ produced by the SPIRAL source. After preparation, the decaying nuclei are confined in a transparent Paul trap which is surrounded by a $ \beta$ -telescope made of a double-sided silicon strip detector followed by a scintillator, and by a micro-channel plate position-sensitive detector to record in coincidence the $ \beta$ particles and the recoil ions. Simulations of this system are needed in order to study possible systematic effects and extract with high accuracy the $ \beta$ - $ \nu$ angular-correlation coefficient. A code based on Geant4 is well suited for this purpose. In this contribution the results from the simulations compared with those from the experiment will be presented and discussed.

Geant4模拟δ电子对单粒子翻转的影响

利用Geant4蒙特卡洛程序包, 基于RPP (Rectangular ParallelePiped Volume)模型构建SRAM器件单元的灵敏体积, 编写了重离子在器件材料中的输运程序和单粒子翻转截面计算方法, 得到了简化器件结构的单粒子翻转截面σ与线性能量转移LET的关系曲线, 计算得到的翻转LET阈值和饱和截面与实验结果基本一致。模拟获得了LET值为99.69 MeV/(cm-2·mg)的Bi离子及LET值为69 MeV/(cm-2·mg)的Bi离子和Xe离子在器件材料中产生的δ电子分布图像,讨论了δ电子分布对翻转截面的影响。 计算了灵敏体积中能量沉积与δ电子分布的关系,认为δ电子分布对单粒子效应的影响随着器件的特征尺寸减小将更加严重。In this paper, the sensitive volume of SRAMs was constructed based on RPP(Rectangular ParallelePiped Volume) model using the Monte-Carlo code Geant4. The interactions of heavy ion with materials and the SEU(Single Event Upset) cross section calculation method were presented in the program. The SEU cross section curves with the linear energy deposition ware obtained. The SEU threshold value and saturation cross section were consistent with the testing data with heavy ions beam. The δ electrons distribution were different in the device material, which were generated by Bi ion with LETs of 99.67 MeV/(cm2·mg) and Bi ion, Xe ion with LETs of 69 MeV/(cm-2·mg). These results indicate δ electrons distribution impacts on the SEU cross section. According to the relation of energy deposition in the sensitive volume, the δ electrons distribution have more and more important effect on the Single Event Effect with reducing the feature size of semiconductor devices.     

Experimental spectra analysis in THM with the help of simulation based on the Geant4 framework

The Coulomb barrier and electron screening cause difficulties in directly measuring nuclear reaction cross sections of charged particles at astrophysical energies. The Trojan-horse method (THM) has been introduced to solve the difficulties as a powerful indirect tool. In order to understand experimental spectra better, Geant4 is employed to simulate the method. Validity and reliability of simulation data are examined by comparing the experimental data with simulated results. The Geant4 simulation of THM improves data analysis and is beneficial to the design for future related experiments.

Simulation of positron backscattering and implantation profiles using Geant4 code

For the proper interpretation of the experimental data produced in slow positron beam technique, the positron implantation properties are studied carefully using the latest Geant4 code. The simulated backscattering coefficients, the implantation profiles, and the median implantation depths for mono-energetic positrons with energy range from 1 keV to 50 keV normally incident on different crystals are reported. Compared with the previous experimental results, our simulation backscattering coefficients are in reasonable agreement, and we think that the accuracy may be related to the structures of the host materials in the Geant4 code. Based on the reasonable simulated backscattering coefficients, the adjustable parameters of the implantation profiles which are dependent on materials and implantation energies are obtained. The most important point is that we calculate the positron backscattering coefficients and median implantation depths in amorphous polymers for the first time and our simulations are in fairly good agreement with the previous experimental results.     

A Novel Lightweight Real-Time Traffic Sign Detection Integration Framework Based on YOLOv4

As a popular research direction in the field of intelligent transportation, various scholars have widely concerned themselves with traffic sign detection However, there are still some key issues that need to be further solved in order to thoroughly apply related technologies to real scenarios, such as the feature extraction scheme of traffic sign images, the optimal selection of detection methods, and the objective limitations of detection tasks. For the purpose of overcoming these difficulties, this paper proposes a lightweight real-time traffic sign detection integration framework based on YOLO by combining deep learning methods. The framework optimizes the latency concern by reducing the computational overhead of the network, and facilitates information transfer and sharing at diverse levels. While improving the detection efficiency, it ensures a certain degree of generalization and robustness, and enhances the detection performance of traffic signs in objective environments, such as scale and illumination changes. The proposed model is tested and evaluated on real road scene datasets and compared with the current mainstream advanced detection models to verify its effectiveness. In addition, this paper successfully finds a reasonable balance between detection performance and deployment difficulty by effectively reducing the computational cost, which provides a possibility for realistic deployment on edge devices with limited hardware conditions, such as mobile devices and embedded devices. More importantly, the related theories have certain application potential in technology industries such as artificial intelligence or autonomous driving.
