Santa Barbara County authorities recovered the body of a man who was reportedly swept off a flooded roadway in Goleta Valley on Saturday.
The man was driving near the 1100 block of North San Marcos Road shortly before noon when his vehicle reportedly became stuck on a flooded part of the road that passes over Maria Ygnacio Creek, according to Captain Mike Gray with the Santa Barbara County Fire Department.
The man then exited his vehicle, Gray said, and he was subsequently washed…
Selber im Landtag ständig blau machen, aber von anderen fordern:
* 1h unbezahlte Mehrarbeit
* 1 Karenztag bei Krankschreibung
* weniger Teilzeit
* Abschaffung telefonische Krankschreibung
* Abbau Rente mit 63
Genau mein Humor!

Abstract: Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGADs) are key components for precise timing measurements in high-energy physics experiments, including the High Luminosity upgrades of the current LHC detectors. Their performance is, however, limited by radiation induced degradation of the gain layer, primarily driven by acceptor removal. This study presents a systematic comparison of how the degradation evolves with different incident proton energies, using LGADs from Hamamatsu Photonics (HPK) and The Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM) irradiated with 18 MeV, 24 MeV, 400 MeV and 23 GeV protons and fluences up to 2.5x10^15 p/cm2. Electrical characterization is used to extract the acceptor removal coefficients for different proton energies, whereas IR TCT measurements offer complementary insight into the gain evolution in LGADs after irradiation. Across all devices, lower energy protons induce stronger gain layer degradation, confirming expectations. However, 400 MeV protons consistently appear less damaging than both lower and higher energy protons, an unexpected deviation from a monotonic energy trend. Conversion of proton fluences to 1 MeV neutron-equivalent fluences reduces but does not eliminate these differences, indicating that the standard Non-Ionizing Energy Loss (NIEL) scaling does not fully account for the underlying defect formation mechanisms at different energies and requires revision when considering irradiation fields that contain a broader spectrum of particle types and energies.
