KARADÖLLER, EGECAN; Uzun Duran, S.; Kılıç, U.; Hashmani, R.; Demirköz, Melahat Bilge; Efthymiopoulos, I.; Can, Ali; Çakmakoğlu, S.; Muçogllava, B.; Kayaalp, A.; Zorlu, C. (2023-06-01)
Abstract The Middle East Technical University Defocusing Beamline (METU-DBL) is designed to deliver protons with selectable kinetic energies between 15-30 MeV, and proton flux between 106-1010 protons/cm2/s, on a maximum 2...
Effect of proton irradiation on the performance of fluxgate sensors
İÇİN, KÜRŞAT; Can, H.; Akyol, S.; Uslu Kiçeci, P.; Topal, U.; ÖZTÜRK, SEDA; Demirköz, Melahat Bilge; Sözeri, H. (2023-04-25)
The fluxgate magnetometers have been used in many space missions due to their stability, low cost, low mass, and good measuring sensitivity and range. Space weather conditions around the Earth and solar system may be dange...
VULNERABILITY OF ECONOMIC SECTORS TO GEOMAGNETIC STORMS AND MITIGATION STRATEGIES
Demirköz, Melahat Bilge; Karagöz, G.; Kadloǧlu, Y.K.; Sözeri, H. (2023-04-21)
Solar storms and CMEs increase the amount of radiation that reaches the Earth and can perturb the magnetic shielding of the Earth. K and Kp indices quantify this perturbation by using magnetometers calibrated accordingly t...
New monitoring interface for the AMS experiment
Hashmani, Raheem Karim; Konyushikhin, Maxim; Shan, Baosong; Cai, Xudong; Demirköz, Melahat Bilge (2023-1-11)
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is constantly exposed to harsh condition on the ISS. As such, there is a need to constantly monitor and perform adjustments to ensure the AMS operates safely and efficiently. With the ...
Radioactivation Measurement of a Protective Collimator and Comparisons with Simulation After METU-Defocusing Beamline Pretest Irradiation
Uzun Duran, Selcen ; Demirköz, Melahat Bilge; Uslu Kiceci, Pelin (2023-01-01)
Electronic components must be tested to allow for safe and reliable missions in radiation environments. The METU Defocusing Beamline (METU-DBL) was installed in the R&D room at the Particle Accelerator Facility (PAF) of Tu...
