An RPC-PET brain scanner demonstrator: first results
Paulo Fonte, Luís Lopes, Rui Alves +19
We present first results from a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanner demonstrator based on Resistive Plate Chambers and specialized for brain imaging. The device features a 3…
Prototype of an affordable pressure-controlled emergency mechanical ventilator for COVID-19
Américo Pereira, Luís Lopes, Paulo Fonte +21
We present a viable prototype of a simple mechanical ventilator intended as a last resort to ventilate COVID-19 patients. The prototype implements the pressure-controlled continuou…
The sub-TeV transient Gamma-Ray sky: challenges and opportunities
G. La Mura, P. Assis, A. Blanco +29
The detection of gravitational waves and neutrinos from astrophysical sources with gamma-ray counterparts officially started the era of Multi-Messenger Astronomy. Their transient a…
Autonomous RPCs for a Cosmic Ray ground array
Pedro Assis, Alberto Blanco, Nuno Carolino +15
We report on the behaviour of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) developed for muon detection in ultra-high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) experiments. The RPCs were developed for the MARTA…
