The mechanisms behind the FLASH sparing effect remain unclear, but several studies point to oxygen concentration, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial metabolism. This suggests that FLASH may also depend on particle linear energy transfer (LET). However, little data are available for […]

The Center for Interdisciplinary Research with Heavy Ions (CIRIL) is the platform for all the interdisciplinary experiments carried out with the beams of the GANIL (Large National Accelerator of Heavy Ions). The iRiA radiation biology platform (1) is devoted to the studies of ion beams effects on […]

The elastic properties of the neutron-star crust are important for the calculations of crustal modes. In particular, the ability of the crust to support shear stresses has been connected to observations of quasi-periodic oscillations and to crust deformations potentially emitting gravitational […]

This work explores the hypothesis that the ultra-high-energy neutrino event KM3-230213A originates from the decay of a heavy dark matter particle with a mass above PeV scale. The analysis exploits the deposited energy and arrival direction of the event as well as a complete detector Monte Carlo […]

We present IMRPhenomXHM_NSBH and SEOBNRv5HM_ROM_NRTidalv3_NSBH, the first two frequency-domain models for gravitational-wave signals from quasi-circular, aligned-spin neutron star--black hole (NSBH) binaries including higher-order modes beyond the dominant quadrupole. We also present […]

Jet tagging at the Large Hadron Collider increasingly relies on deep learning models trained on massive simulated datasets, leading to high computational costs and limited robustness to detector mismodeling. We introduce JetParticle-JEPA (JP-JEPA), a self-supervised Joint-Embedding Predictive […]
