The XENON1T dark matter experiment
Aprile, E.; Aalbers, J.; Agostini, F.; Alfonsi, M.; Amaro, Fernando D.; Anthony, M.; Antunes, B. P.; Arneodo, F.; Balata, M.; Barrow, P.; Baudis, L.TheXENON1Texperiment at theLaboratoriNazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) is the first WIMP dark matter detector operating with a liquid xenon target mass above the ton-scale. Out of its 3.2 t liquid xenon inventory, 2.0 t constitute the active target of the dual-phase time projection chamber. The scintillation and ionization signals from particle interactions are detected with low-background photomultipliers. This ...

Alves, P.; Cardoso, R.; Correia, T. R.; Antunes, B. P.; Correia, I. J.; Ferreira, P.Prosthetic cardiac valves implantation is a common procedure used to treat heart valve diseases. Although there are different prostheses already available in the market (either mechanical or bioprosthetic), their use presents several problems, specifically concerning thrombogenicity and structural failure. Recently, some progresses have been achieved in developing heart valves based on synthetic materials with ...
