METU-Defocusing Beam Line (METU-DBL) project aims to perform Single Event Effect (SEE) tests for space, nuclear and other applications. Turkish Atomic Energy Authority (TAEA) has a cyclotron which can accelerate protons up to 30 MeV kinetic energy at the Proton Accelerator Facility (PAF) mainly for radioisotope production and for research and development (R&D) purposes. In the facility, the stable proton beam current is variable between 0.1 µA to 1.2 mA and the beam size is nearly 1 cm x 1 cm. METU-DBL pre-test setup, which has been installed in the R&D room, enlarges the beam size with two quadrupole magnets and it reduces the proton flux with a collimator. The pretest setup beam size is about 10 cm x 10 cm and the beam flux is 108 p/cm2/s. The first tests of electronic cards, detectors and also commercial and experimental solar cells have been performed using this setup. Also, the final configuration of METU-DBL is now under construction to provide a beam according to ESA ESCC No. 25100 standard. MCNP Monte Carlo codes were used for the calculations of secondary particles (neutrons, gammas) and residuals.

METU-Defocusing beam line project and beam optics studies Demirköz, Melahat Bilge (2017-07-31) METU-Defocusing Beam Line (METU-DBL) project aims to perform Single Event Effect (SEE) tests for space, nuclear and medical applications. Turkish Atomic Energy Authority (TAEA) has a 30MeV proton cyclotron at Proton Accelerator Facility (PAF) mainly for radioisotope production and an R&D room for other applications. The proton beam current is variable between 0.1µA to 1.2mA and the beam size is small. METU-DBL, which is being installed in the R&D room, will enlarge the beam size with three quadrupole magnet...
An Adaptive Hybrid Beamforming Scheme for Time-Varying Wideband Massive MIMO Channels Kurt, Anıl; Güvensen, Gökhan Muzaffer (2020-06-01) © 2020 IEEE.In this paper, adaptive hybrid beamforming methods are proposed for millimeter-wave range massive MIMO systems considering single carrier wideband transmission in uplink data mode. A statistical analog beamformer is adaptively constructed in slow-time, while the channel is time-varying and erroneously estimated. Proposed recursive filtering approach is shown to bring a remarkable robustness against estimation errors. Then, analytical modifications are applied on an analog beamformer design metho...
A Low Complexity Two-Stage Target Detection Scheme for Resource Limited Radar Systems Candan, Çağatay (2013-01-01) A two-stage detector is proposed to accommodate high computational load requirements of modern radar systems. The first stage of the proposed system is a low-complexity detector that operates at an unusually high false alarm probability value around 1/10. This stage is to prescreen and eliminate some of the test cells with relatively few operations. The second stage operates only on the cells passing the prescreening stage and implements a high-complexity detector at a desired system false alarm rate. Due t...
The ATLAS Simulation Infrastructure Aad, G.; et. al. (2010-12-01) The simulation software for the ATLAS Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider is being used for large-scale production of events on the LHC Computing Grid. This simulation requires many components, from the generators that simulate particle collisions, through packages simulating the response of the various detectors and triggers. All of these components come together under the ATLAS simulation infrastructure. In this paper, that infrastructure is discussed, including that supporting the detector descriptio...
Fast simulation of muons produced at the SHiP experiment using Generative Adversarial Networks Ahdida, C.; et. al. (2019-11-01) This paper presents a fast approach to simulating muons produced in interactions of the SPS proton beams with the target of the SHiP experiment. The SHIP experiment will be able to search for new long-lived particles produced in a 400 GeV/c SPS proton beam dump and which travel distances between fifty metres and tens of kilometers. The SHiP detector needs to operate under ultra-low background conditions and requires large simulated samples of muon induced background processes. Through the use of Generative ...
