In the context of the CMS Phase-2 tracker back-end processing system, two mezzanines based on the Zynq Ultrascale+ Multi-Processor System-on-Chip (MPSoC) device have been developed to serve as ...centralized slow control and board management solution for the Serenity-family \textcolor{black}{Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA)} blades. This paper presents the developments of the MPSoC mezzanines to execute the Intelligent Platform Management Controller (IPMC) software in the real-time capable processors of the MPSoC. In coordination with the Shelf Manager, once full-power is enabled, a CentOS-based Linux distribution is executed in the application processors of the MPSoC, on which EMPButler and the Serenity Management Shell (SMASH) are running.
The present investigation is focused on the effect of copper nanoparticles infused in a PAGAT dosimetry system. Monte Carlo simulations using the PENELOPE code were employed to analyze a system ...composed of stabilized copper nanoparticles coated with ascorbic acid. The system was subjected to irradiation with a 150 keV monoenergetic photon beam, representative of orthovoltage applications. The study evaluated the influence of three key factors: the size of the copper nanoparticle (ranging from 10 to 300 nm), the coating thickness (ranging from 25 to 400 nm), and the coating density (ranging from 1.162 to 1.650 g/mL). The findings indicate a slight increase in dose enhancement with increasing nanoparticle size. Conversely, an increase in stabilizer thickness leads to a decrease in dose enhancement in the PAGAT system. The effect of changes in stabilizer density on dose enhancement is found to be less significant. Additionally, the photon fluence spectrum was analyzed for the three studied cases to identify and evaluate the characteristic fluorescence lines of copper. This analysis confirms the presence of characteristic X-rays derived from the presence of copper. nanoparticles, which could potentially serve as a foundation for specific imaging techniques
