The European Federation of Organisations for Medical Physics Policy Statement No 14: The role of the Medical Physicist in the management of safety within the magnetic resonance imaging environment: EFOMP recommendations KU Leuven
This European Federation of Organisations for Medical Physics (EFOMP) Policy Statement outlines the way in which a Safety Management System can be developed for MRI units. The Policy Statement can help eliminate or at least minimize accidents or incidents in the magnetic resonance environment and is recommended as a step towards harmonisation of safety of workers, patients, and the general public regarding the use of magnetic resonance imaging ...
Physical Causal Knowledge : a user's manual : revisiting the debate about causation in physics from a use-perspective Ghent University
The Physics of the Avicenna Latinus and Its Significance for the Reception of Aristotleâs Physics in the Latin West KU Leuven
The paper describes the specific problems related to the edition of the 'Physics' of the Avicenna Latinus (especially the realization of the translation in two phases, at different times and in different places). In the final part attention is paid to the way Avicenna's exposé modified, if only in a limited way, the understanding of some items of Albert the Great's exposé, as Albert the Great illustrates best.
Search for new physics in events with photons, jets, and missing transverse energy in pp collisions at s√=7 TeV Vrije Universiteit Brussel
A search for physics beyond the standard model involving events with one or more photons, jets, and missing transverse energy has been performed by the CMS experiment. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.93 inverse femtobarns of proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV, produced at the Large Hadron Collider. No excess of events with large missing transverse energy is observed beyond expectations from standard model ...
Black holes, gravitational waves and fundamental physics : a roadmap Ghent University KU Leuven
The grand challenges of contemporary fundamental physics dark matter, dark energy, vacuum energy, inflation and early universe cosmology, singularities and the hierarchy problem all involve gravity as a key component. And of all gravitational phenomena, black holes stand out in their elegant simplicity, while harbouring some of the most remarkable predictions of General Relativity: event horizons, singularities and ergoregions. The hitherto ...
Strings, Gravity and Particle Physics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This contribution, aimed mostly at experimental particle physicists, reviews some of the main ideas and results of string theory in a non-technical language. It originates from the talks presented by the authors at the electroweak session of the 2002 Moriond Meeting, here merged in an attempt to provide a more complete and concise view of the subject and updated to include an account of some recent developments.
Diagnostic set-up and modelling for investigation of synergy between 3D edge physics and plasma-wall interactions on Wendelstein 7-X Ghent University
A group of edge diagnostics and modelling has been developed for investigation of synergy between 3D edge physics and plasma-wall interactions on Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X). Two endoscopes have been designed for visible and ultraviolet spectroscopy and tomography of the plasma edge, along with infrared thermography of the divertor tiles. 2D profiles of impurities (e.g. helium, carbon) will be measured by two endoscopes viewing the island divertor ...
Search for new physics in events with same-sign dileptons and b jets in pp collisions at s√=8 TeV Vrije Universiteit Brussel
A search for new physics is performed using events with isolated same-sign leptons and at least two bottom-quark jets in the final state. Results are based on a sample of proton-proton collisions collected at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV with the CMS detector and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 10.5 inverse femtobarns. No excess above the standard model background is observed. Upper limits are set on the number of events from ...
Five-step guide to flip the classroom and to improve physics teaching at university level Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The present paper, describes an educational experience with the goal of developing a proposal for the didactic planning of Computational Physics course (CP), using the Flipped Classroom (FC) method, supported by active learning to promote meaningful learning in physics students of Physics bachelor program at University of Sonora. FC is an innovative educational strategy that emerges in 2007 and within its principles establishes that, mainly, ...
