The Neutrinos Angra Experiment has completed a major step by finishing the commissioning of the detector and the data acquisition system at the experimental site located in the Angra dos Reis nuclear power plant. The experiment, consisting of a water-based detector and associated electronics, was designed with the goal of detecting the electron antineutrinos produced by the nuclear reactor. The detection is possible due to the Inverse Beta Decay, where the final products in the water are photons in the UV-to-visible range of the spectrum. The assembled detector comprises three active volumes filled with water: (i) a cubic detector (Target) for electron antineutrinos, covered by 32 8-inch photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), (ii) a lateral layer surrounding the Target (Lateral veto) equipped with 4 PMTs and (iii) a third volume covering the top of both (Top veto), also equipped with 4 PMTs. In the present document the main features of the detector assembly as well as the integration of the readout electronics on-site are reported. Finally, some operational characteristics are shown based on analysis of the first measurements performed with the fully working detector.
Purpose–The focus of the study is to develop a 3D engine assembly simulation learning module to address the lack of equipmentin one senior high school in the Philippines.Method–The study used mixed-method to determine the considerations needed in developing an application for educational use particularly among laboratory/practical subjects like engine assembly.The study used ISO 25010qualitystandardsin evaluating the application(n=153 students and 3 ICT experts).Results–Results showed that the application is moderately acceptable(overall mean = 3.52)under ISO 25010 quality standards. Conclusion–The study created an engine simulation learning assembly in which teachers can use to augment their lesson. The study also highlights the applicability of using 3D-related technologies for practical and laboratory subjects particularly highly technical-related subjects.Recommendations–Future studies may develop a similar applicationin the same contextusing mobileand other emergingtechnology(i.e., Virtual Reality,Augmented Reality) as well as making the content more customizable.Effectivity of the system in an actual setting is also worth pursuing.Research Implications–The study highlighted the potential use of 3D technology in a classroom setting.
