Detection and Attribution of Climate Change: From global mean temperature change to climate extremes and high impact weather.
Detection and Attribution of Climate Change: From global mean temperature change to climate extremes and high impact weather. When one writes by a pencil, thin flakes of graphite are left on a surface. Some of them are only one atom thick and can be viewed as individual atomic planes cleaved away from the bulk. Such

Geant4: A powerful tool for Medical Applications
Geant4: A powerful tool for Medical Applications There have been rapid developments in recent years in using tools based on Monte Carlo (MC) simulation for medical physics applications. The challenges of more accurate estimations have led to the need for customised simulation tools and the use of larger computers. MC simulations are essential for characterizing

The CERN-MEDICIS project
The CERN-MEDICIS project Secondary radioactive ion beams have been delivered to ISOLDE at CERN for over 40 years, for fundamental studies in nuclear structure and for applications, for instance in semi-conductors. The idea of using these beams as sources for innovative medical isotopes was put forward fifteen years ago by G. Beyer and collaborators. However
