Abstract
This article provides data on the development and creation of a vacuum window module, which will bring out the proton beam of the C18 cyclotron (IBA, Belgium) with energy of 18 MeV from a vacuum environment into the atmosphere. The module is made of aluminum and consists of a flange with a collimator and a helium (He) chamber of foil plates cooling. The module was installed at the end of the cyclotron’s beam line. Profile measurements were made for various current values of proton beam from 1 to 30 µA. The vacuum window showed its functionality.

Abstract
The use of a drone as an aerial vehicle to realize the antenna measurement method is considered. The drone is controlled by software, using unified radio-electronic equipment containing a transmitter, a half-wave vibrator, and a GPS navigator. The parameters of the directional properties of the antenna system are the result of software processing of the output signals of the radar receiver synchronized with the coordinates of the drone flight path points.

Abstract
Using computer simulation, the processes of heat propagation were studied and noise was determined in a three-layer detection pixel of a thermoelectric single-photon detector, consisting of an absorber (Pt), a thermoelectric sensor (La0.99Ce0.01B6) and a heat sink (Pt, Mo). The absorption of photons with energies of 0.8–7.1 eV (1550–175 nm) in absorbers of various thicknesses, providing high absorption efficiency, was studied. The simulation was based on the heat propagation equations from a limited volume. The temporal dependencies of the signal appearing on the sensor were studied. Signal power, noise equivalent power, and signal-to-noise ratio were determined. It was shown that a detection pixel with a platinum absorber can reliably detect single photons with the energy of 3.1–7.1 eV.

Abstract
The spectral features and structural factors influencing the formation of luminescence bands of Ce3+ ions in YAG:Ce crystals are considered. The energy levels of the 4f shell of Ce3+ ions occupying both dodecahedral and octahedral sites of the crystal lattice have been determined. The participation of Ce3+ ions and ({text{Ce}}_{{{text{Al}}}}^{{3 + }}) ions in the structure of the luminescence band was shown and the multicenter structure of Ce3+ ions in the 4f ↔ 5d transitions of the activator was determined.

Abstract
Peculiarities of X-ray beam diffraction from potassium and rubidium bi-phthalate piezo crystals under the condition of excitation of transverse ultrasonic vibrations are investigated. Previously, under a similar influence in quartz crystals, the effect of X-ray acoustic redistribution was observed, in which the intensity of diffracted radiation in the exact Bragg position increases significantly with a simultaneous decrease in the intensity of the transmitted beam, down to zero for certain parameters for reflecting atomic planes, called the full pumping effect. This effect can be used for controlled tuning of the diffracted beam intensity. In this work, to search for new materials for the creation of elements that allow such a rearrangement, we studied the dependences of the degree of amplification of diffracted radiation on the amplitude of the control signal for potassium and rubidium bi-phthalates crystals. The actual possibility of X-ray intensity modulation using transverse vibrations in these crystals is demonstrated.
摘要 研究了在横向超声振动激励条件下,钾和铷双酞酸酯压电晶体 X 射线束衍射的特殊性。此前,在石英晶体中的类似影响下,观察到了 X 射线声学再分布效应,即在精确布拉格位置上的衍射辐射强度显著增加,同时透射光束的强度下降,在反射原子平面的某些参数下降至零,称为全泵效应。这种效应可用于衍射光束强度的可控调节。在这项工作中,为了寻找新材料来制造可以进行这种重新排列的元素,我们研究了钾和铷双酞酸盐晶体的衍射辐射放大程度与控制信号振幅的关系。我们证明了在这些晶体中利用横向振动进行 X 射线强度调制的实际可能性。

Abstract
The article describes a new detector, a volume filled with hexane at low pressure (3 Torr), containing multi-wire proportional chambers and a silicon semiconductor detector. Using this setup, alpha particles emitted during the decay of the radioactive isotope 226Ra were detected. The device has an energy resolution of ≤ 5% and allows measuring the ionization energy losses of alpha particles as well. Thus, the LPMWPC and SSD-based experimental setup is a good tool for studying both binary and ternary fission of heavy nuclei, in which the third fragment is a high-energy alpha particle.

Abstract
The structural and optical properties of tandem silicon/perovskite structures with a hierarchical antireflective surface at the interface have been studied. The surface consisted of micro-sized pyramids and nano-sized short needles formed respectively by chemical and reactive ion etching of silicon substrates. It is shown that a perovskite film without pores and voids covers a hierarchical surface with high conformity. The manufactured samples are characterized by low reflectance over a wide range of radiation wavelengths.

Abstract
For the first time in Armenia, gamma activation analysis of geological samples of obsidian was carried out using beams of bremsstrahlung photons at the linear electron accelerator of the A. Alikhanyan National Scientific Laboratory (AANL). It is shown that the results of the chemical composition of the obsidian sample are comparable with the results of instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) of the same sample, carried out at the Curt-Engelhom-Center for Archaeometry (Mannheim, Germany), after irradiation with neutrons in a specialized nuclear reactor TRIGA at the Institute of Nuclear Chemistry of the Mainz University. It is also shown that gamma activation analysis makes it possible to determine the content of a number of elements for which the use of INAA is impossible or difficult.

Abstract
A sensor sensitive to hydrogen peroxide vapor based on Fe2O3:ZnO (80 : 20 wt %) nanostructured film was studied. Investigation of the Fe2O3:ZnO sensor has been carried out by impedance spectroscopy. Based on the analysis of the frequency dependences of the real and imaginary parts of the complex impedance, the equivalent electrical circuit for the studied sensor structure was proposed, the parameters of its constituent elements were estimated, and approximating curves were computed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of the Fe2O3:ZnO film showed a nanoparticle structure. This type of sensor can be used in alternating signal-based detectors for sensing the hydrogen peroxide vapors, at the same time the sensor must be tuned to achieve maximum sensitivity by selecting an appropriate operating frequency range.
