The Forschungs-Neutronenquelle Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II) reactor is utilized for active engagement in international efforts toward the goal of decreasing usage of highly enriched uranium in civil cycles. This goal can be achieved by changing the current fuel system with a high-density low-enriched uranium fuel. [...]

Modern experiments in antimatter and quantum physics increasingly rely on automation and intelligent orchestration to manage complexity and maximize efficiency. This paper presents several use cases of CIRCUS, the control system developed by the AEḡIS Collaboration at CERN. [...]

The nature of gravity’s influence on antimatter systems is still one of the most profound questions in modern physics, probing the very foundation of both General Relativity and the Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP). By performing a precise measurement on the free-fall acceleration of antihydrogen ( $\bar{H}$), experiments investigate whether antimatter experiences acceleration due to gravity in the same way as ordinary matter systems, a fundamental assumption that, if falsified, could signal new physics beyond the Standard Model.

PurposeMinibeam and microbeam radiation therapy promise improved treatment outcomes through reduced normal tissue toxicity at better tumor control rates. The lack of suitable compact radiation sources limits the clinical application of minibeams to superficial tumors and renders it impossible for microbeams. [...]

The formation and evolution of nanoparticles on the surface of oxide catalysts are essential for determining their catalytic performance. Establishing a direct relationship between structure and function requires real-time in situ characterization under operational conditions. [...]

This paper provides a unique and to the best of our knowledge first-of-a-kind attempt to develop chemical processes that may contribute to the volume reduction of SMR TRISO-based fuels and aims at the eventual ability to reprocess the spent fuel. To this end, the etching behavior of two materials, silicon carbide, SiC and pyrolytic carbon, PyC, that are generally used for the different barrier layers of a TRISO particle has been investigated.
