“…Following a high-energy event, the produced charge takes 2-3 ms to drift out of the volume [25][26][27]. High-energy events can be created by atmospheric muons (0.05 Hz per 10 kton [27,80]) and neutrinos from the Fermilab beam ( 1 Hz, with duration 10 µs [26], though the expected number of interactions per spill is tiny). In a conservative case, in which we apply a holdoff of 10 ms every 1 s, this induces a detector deadtime of only 1%.…”

“…When a cosmic-ray muon passes through the detector (for each module, the total rate is 0.05 Hz [27,80]), it can rarely produce a large shower along its track. Secondary particles, especially pions and neutrons, may break argon nuclei and produce beta-unstable isotopes.…”

“…Second, neutral-current ν e,µ,τ + 40 Ar events cause a peak near 9 MeV [69]. Third, emerging at the highest energies, beta-decaying radioactivities induced by muons and their secondaries [77][78][79][80], for which we apply simple cuts. Details in S.M.…”

DUNE as the Next-Generation Solar Neutrino Experiment

et al. 2019

We show that the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) has the potential to deliver world-leading results in solar neutrinos. Significant but realistic new efforts would be required. With an exposure of 100 kton-year, DUNE could detect 10 5 signal events above 5 MeV. Separate precision measurements of neutrino-mixing parameters and the 8 B flux could be made using two detection channels (νe + 40 Ar and νe,µ,τ + e − ) and the day-night effect (> 10σ). New particle physics may be revealed through the comparison of solar neutrinos (with matter effects) and reactor neutrinos (without), which is discrepant by ∼ 2σ (and could become 5.6σ). New astrophysics may be revealed through the most precise measurement of the 8 B flux (to 2.5%) and the first detection of the hep flux (to 11%). DUNE is required: No other experiment, even proposed, has been shown capable of fully realizing these discovery opportunities.12 θ 2 sin 0.2 0.3 0.4

A novel konjac glucomannan-acrylic acid superabsorbent (KGMP) was prepared by the solution polymerization of partially neutralized acrylic acid (AA) onto konjac glucomannan (KGM) using potassium persulfate (KPS) as a free radical initiator and trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TPTA) as a crosslinking agent. Effects of the content of TPTA on the water absorption in buffer solutions of different pH were investigated. The results showed that the swelling ratio exhibited the largest value at pH 7.4 due to electrical interaction. There was an appropriate content of TPTA in the KGMP that made the swelling ratio reach its maximum. Swelling kinetics of the KGMP at pH 7.4 was also studied. The swelling processes of the polymers can be fitted to the first-order reaction kinetics. The structure, morphology and thermal stability of KGMP were further characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), using KGM as reference. Results indicated that a successful graft polymerization reaction and excellent miscibility occurred between KGM and AA and the content of TPTA affected the orderliness of KGMP.

“…Another advantage of 3DNFES is that the diameter of fibers can be adjusted by adjusting operating parameters involved, which is similar to conventional electrospinning . However, in 3DNFES, in addition to electrospinning parameters, 3D printing parameters such as stage displacement speed and filling capacity of the patterns can play a role in changing fiber shape and fiber density, respectively.…”

Graphical Abstract This paper introduces a new method, 3D Near Field Electrospinning (3DNFES), for printing polymeric fibers in highly organized, controlled and reproducible manner. The research strategy described in the this work offers several significant advantages including: 1) producing precise patterns of fibers on relatively large scale area with minimum material consumption, 2) ability to print in all three directions of X, Y and Z, 3) offering an inexpensive method with easy control over shape and orientation of fibers compared to other available methods, and 4) readily combines with other pre-patterned nanostructures or microstructures such as gels (e.g. collagen gel) to create multi-material composites.
