Science Overview Sample Clauses

Science Overview. Active Luminescence For x-Ray Emission and Detection (XXXXXX) is a balloon-borne anti-coincidence shield designed to test an active shielding concept for x-ray telescopes. Both the designed geometry and chosen detector material have little flight heritage. The following subsections describe the science requirements that drove the shield’s design and discuss obtained flight data. An overview of the science instrument is shown in Figure 2 on the left. Figure 2: Science Instrument Overview A. Sensor Design Anticoincidence shielding is a method to prevent background radiation from interfering with high-energy observations and has seen popularity in recent years. It works by integrating data from two separate detectors: a primary, and a secondary that encapsulates the primary in some way. If an event is simultaneously detected in both the primary and secondary, it can be inferred that some high energy particle has come from something other than the target source and could potentially interfere with the primary’s data output. Special circuitry is used to reject such events. XXXXXX is a variation on this approach. Its detector geometry allows for three possible combination of events between its two detectors: events from the target registered only in the primary x-ray detector (simulated optics), background radiation events registered only on the secondary scintillator, and background radiation registered on both. The background events on the shield are not registered by the XRD, hence pose no issue. The background events that register on the detector and scatter to the shield are undesirable and can be rejected by using anti-coincidence circuitry.

  • Program Overview A. Goals of the Choice Neighborhoods Program. The Choice Neighborhoods Program employs a comprehensive approach to neighborhood transformation. The program transforms neighborhoods of concentrated poverty into mixed-income neighborhoods of long-term viability by revitalizing severely distressed public and/or assisted housing; improving access to economic opportunities; and investing and leveraging investments in well-functioning services, effective schools and education programs, public assets, public transportation, and improved access to jobs. Choice Neighborhoods ensures that current residents benefit from this transformation by preserving affordable housing in the neighborhood or providing the choice to move to affordable housing in another neighborhood of opportunity. The purpose of this grant is to implement a Transformation Plan that has been developed through a local planning process and furthers the goals of the Choice Neighborhoods Program. The core goals of Choice Neighborhoods are:
