Analog Optical Transmission of Fast Photomultiplier Pulses Over Distances of 2 km
A. Karle, T. Mikolajski, S. Cichos +7
New LED-transmitters have been used to develop a new method of fast analog transmission of PMT pulses over large distances. The transmitters, consisting basically of InGaAsP LEDs w…
Developing a Launch Package for the PEGASUS Launcher
S. Hundertmark, G. Vincent, D. Simicic
Railguns are capable to far exceed the muzzle energies of current naval deck guns. Therefore one of the most promising scenario for the future application of railguns in naval warf…
Simulating the Diffference between a DES and a Simple Railgun using SPICE
S. Hundertmark
A DES railgun increases the launch efficiency when compared to a simple railgun setup. In a NGSPICE-simulation a DES and a simple railgun setup connected to an existing 10-MJ capac…
Feasibility of acoustic neutrino detection in ice: First results from the South Pole Acoustic Test Setup (SPATS)
S. Böser, C. Bohm, F. Descamps +11
Astrophysical neutrinos in the EeV range (particularly those generated by the interaction of cosmic rays with the cosmic microwave background) promise to be a valuable tool to stud…
Increasing Launch Efficiency with the PEGASUS Launcher
S. Hundertmark, G. Vincent, D. Simicic +1
In the real world application of railguns, the launch efficiency is one of the most important parameters. This efficiency directly relates to the capacity of the electrical energy…
Light tracking through ice and water -- Scattering and absorption in heterogeneous media with Photonics
J. Lundberg, P. Miocinovic, K. Woschnagg +5
In the field of neutrino astronomy, large volumes of optically transparent matter like glacial ice, lake water, or deep ocean water are used as detector media. Elementary particle…
