SiC free-standing membrane for X-ray intensity monitoring in synchrotron radiation beamlines by Gabriele Trovato, Marzio De Napoli, Christian Gollwitzer, Simone Finizio, Michael Krumrey, Francesco La Via, Luca Lanzanò, Giuliana Milluzzo, Samuele Moscato, Matthias Müller, Francesco Romano, Dario Ferreira Sanchez, Massimo Camarda

“…In particular, we performed in-depth sensor-response analysis with photon energies ranging from tender (1.75 keV) to hard (10 keV) X-rays at the Four-Crystal Monochromator beamline in the PTB laboratory at the synchrotron radiation facility BESSY II, studying uniformity of transmission and responsivity compared with the state-of-the-art beam monitors. Furthermore, we theoretically evaluated the expected signal in different regions of the sensors, also taking into account the effect of charge diffusion from the SiC substrate in the case of the not-carved region.…”

El reto de la eficiencia energética en Europa y el riesgo del efecto rebote by José Manuel Cansino

“…El artículo hace una mención específica a España por ser uno de los estados miembros de la UE más concernidos por estos problemas.Para hacer esto se realiza una sistemática revisión de la literatura siguiendo las técnicas avanzadas que recomienda el estado del arte. Después de esto, los principales hallazgos del artículo son 1) existe un amplio consenso académico en torno a la importancia del efecto rebote como barrera en la mejora de la eficiencia energética, 2) existe una falta de consenso sobre su tamaño, 3) los textos legales que abordan los objetivos en materia de eficiencia energética habitualmente ignoran el problema del efecto rebote.…”
