SiPM cross-talk in liquid argon detectors
M. G. Boulay, V. Camillo, N. Canci +23
SiPM-based readouts are becoming the standard for light detection in particle detectors given their superior resolution and ease of use with respect to vacuum tube photo-multiplier…
An Analytical and Numerical Study of Optimal Channel Networks
F. Colaiori, A. Flammini, A. Maritan +1
We analyze the Optimal Channel Network model for river networks using both analytical and numerical approaches. This is a lattice model in which a functional describing the dissipa…
Species lifetime distribution for simple models of ecologies
S. Pigolotti, A. Flammini, M. Marsili +1
Interpretation of empirical results based on a taxa's lifetime distribution shows apparently conflicting results. Species' lifetime is reported to be exponentially distributed, whe…
Global protein function prediction in protein-protein interaction networks
A. Vazquez, A. Flammini, A. Maritan +1
The determination of protein functions is one of the most challenging problems of the post-genomic era. The sequencing of entire genomes and the possibility to access gene's co-exp…
Direct comparison of PEN and TPB wavelength shifters in a liquid argon detector
M. G. Boulay, V. Camillo, N. Canci +26
A large number of particle detectors employ liquid argon as their target material owing to its high scintillation yield and its ability to drift ionization charge over large distan…
Geometry of compact tubes and protein structures
J. R. Banavar, A. Flammini, D. Marenduzzo +2
Proteins form a very important class of polymers. In spite of major advances in the understanding of polymer science, the protein problem has remained largely unsolved. Here, we sh…
Modeling of protein interaction networks
A. Vazquez, A. Flammini, A. Maritan +1
We introduce a graph generating model aimed at representing the evolution of protein interaction networks. The model is based on the hypotesis of evolution by duplications and dive…
Very large SiPM arrays with aggregated output
A. Razeto, V. Camillo, M. Carlini +15
In this work we will document the design and the performances of a SiPM-based photodetector with a surface area of 100 cm conceived to operate as a replacement for PMTs. The si…
Physics of thick polymers
D. Marenduzzo, A. Flammini, A. Trovato +2
We present the results of analytic calculations and numerical simulations of the behaviour of a new class of chain molecules which we call thick polymers. The concept of the thickn…
