An exploratory study for a new method to search for heavy neutrinos with data at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) by Tan, Cherlene Shu Ning

“…Through the seesaw mechanism, we found the right handed neutrino can possess a light mass eigenstate and a heavy mass eigenstate of which the latter is the main focus of this report. It is also known as the Heavy Neutral Lepton (HNL) or heavy neutrino. …”

Synthesisation, characterisation and water adsorption on novel functional metal organic frameworks for heat transformation process by Han, Bo

“…Therefore, the adsorption devices should be improved with the use of highly efficient adsorbents. The main drawback of AHT system is its large thermal compressor size, which depends on the quality of the porous adsorbents, ranging from surface characteristic to uptake-offtake difference (Δq) per adsorption cycle. …”
