TL;DR: SNO+ is a large liquid scintillator-based experiment located 2 km underground at SNOLAB, Sudbury, Canada as mentioned in this paper, whose primary goal is a search for the neutrinoless double-beta decay (0BB) of 130Te.
Abstract: SNO+is a large liquid scintillator-based experiment located 2 km underground at SNOLAB, Sudbury,Canada. It reuses the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory detector, consisting of a 12m diameter acrylic vessel which will be filled with about 780 tonnes of ultra-pure liquid scintillator. Designed as a multipurpose neutrino experiment, the primary goal of SNO+ is a search for the neutrinoless double-beta decay (0BB) of 130Te. In Phase I, the detector will be loaded with 0.3% natural tellurium, corresponding to nearly 800 kg of 130Te, with an expected effective Majorana neutrino mass sensitivity in the region of 55–133meV, just above the inverted mass hierarchy. Recently, the possibility of deploying up to ten times more natural tellurium has been investigated, which would enable SNO+ to achieve sensitivity deep into the parameter space for the inverted neutrino mass hierarchy in the future. Additionally, SNO+ aims to measure reactor antineutrino oscillations, low energy solar neutrinos, and geoneutrinos, to be sensitive to supernova neutrinos, and to search for exotic physics. A first phase with the detector filled with water will begin soon, with the scintillator phase expected to start after a few months of water data taking. The 01BB Phase I is foreseen for 2017.

TL;DR: This paper presents an implementation of Yen’s algorithm, a classical algorithm for ranking the K shortest loopless paths between a pair of nodes in a network, and concludes that in practice this new implementation outperforms two other, Perko's implementation and a straightforward one.
Abstract: Yen’s algorithm is a classical algorithm for ranking the K shortest loopless paths between a pair of nodes in a network. In this paper an implementation of Yen’s algorithm is presented. Both the original algorithm and this implementation present ${\cal O}(Kn(m + n\log n))$
computational complexity order when considering a worst-case analysis. However, computational experiments are reported, which allow to conclude that in practice this new implementation outperforms two other, Perko’s implementation and a straightforward one.

TL;DR: The Thick Gaseous Electron Multiplier (THGEM) as mentioned in this paper is a robust, high-gain gaseous electron multiplier, manufactured economically by standard printed-circuit drilling and etching technology.
Abstract: We briefly review the concept and properties of the THick Gaseous Electron Multiplier (THGEM); it is a robust, high-gain gaseous electron multiplier, manufactured economically by standard printed-circuit drilling and etching technology. Its operation and structure resemble that of gaseous electron multiplier's (GEM's) but with 5–20-fold expanded dimensions. The millimeter-scale hole-size results in good electron transport and in large avalanche-multiplication factors, e.g. reaching 10 7 in double-THGEM cascaded single-photoelectron detectors. The multiplier's material, parameters and shape can be application-tailored; it can operate practically in any counting gas, including noble gases, over a pressure range spanning from 1 mbar to several bars; its operation at cryogenic (LAr) conditions was recently demonstrated. The high gain, sub-millimeter spatial resolution, high counting-rate capability, good timing properties and the possibility of industrial production capability of large-area robust detectors, pave ways towards a broad spectrum of potential applications; some are discussed here in brief.
