In ordinal symbolic dynamics, transcripts describe the algebraic relationship between ordinal patterns.Using the concept of transcript, we exploit the mathematical structure of the group of permutations to derive properties and relations among information measures of the symbolic representations of time series.These theoretical results are then applied for the assessment of coupling directionality in dynamical systems, where suitable coupling directionality measures are introduced depending only on transcripts. These novel measures estimate information flow in lower space dimension and reduce to well-established coupling directionality quantifiers when some general conditions are satisfied. Furthermore, by generalizing the definition of transcript to ordinal patterns of different lengths, several of the commonly used information directionality measures can be encompassed within the same framework.

The ISOLPHARM project explores the feasibility of exploiting an innovative technology to produce extremely high specific activity beta-emitting radionuclides as radiopharmaceutical precursors. This technique is expected to produce radiopharmaceuticals that are virtually mainly impossible to obtain in standard production facilities, at lower cost and with less environmental impact than traditional techniques. The groundbreaking ISOLPHARM method investigated in this project has been granted an international patent (INFN). As a component of the SPES (Selective Production of Exotic Species) project at the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare-Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro (INFN-LNL), a new facility will produce radioactive ion beams of neutronrich nuclei with high purity and a mass range of 80-160 amu. The radioactive isotopes will result from nuclear reactions induced by accelerating 40 MeV protons in a cyclotron to collide on a target of UC x . The uranium in the target material will be 238 U, yielding radioactive isotopes that belong to elements with an atomic number between 28 and 57. Isotope separation on line (ISOL) is adopted in the ISOLPHARM project to obtain pure isobaric beams for radiopharmaceutical applications, with no isotopic contaminations in the beam or subsequent trapping substrate. Isobaric contaminations may potentially affect radiochemical and radionuclide purity, but proper methods to separate chemically different elements can be developed.

“…The primary proton beam generated by a 70 MeV cyclotron collides with an uranium carbide (UCx) target and the reaction products, properly extracted, selected and ionized, will be reaccelerated and transported to the experimental halls using the existing LINAC accelerator (ALPI). Hardware and software must be upgraded to accommodate the requirements of the SPES project [2]. In particular, the upgrade campaign of ALPI involves the the beam diagnostic system [3] and the Radio Frequency (RF) control system [4].…”

The ongoing upgrade campaign at the INFN National Laboratories of Legnaro, required to accommodate the SPES facility, demands for a new beam diagnostic system that outperforms the legacy VME based current and beam position monitor. The beam diagnostic is an essential component without whom the operator would blindly attempt to setup all accelerator parameters in order to transport the beam from the source to the target experiment. The paper provides a complete overview of the diagnostic data readout chain inclusive of custom hardware solutions, signal processing, and data management. Each diagnostic point, installed along the beam pipe, consists of a Faraday cup and a beam profile monitor. The frontend electronics is based on a custom general purpose motherboard endowed with an FPGA that handles the data sampling, data filtering and data buffering and with a computer on module that runs an EPICS IOC application and bridges the beam diagnostic information to the control network for remote visualization. The custom hardware platform at the heart of the diagnostic system, is able to perform real time tasks and allows for hardware standardization and modularity, then being the base for embedding the control of several different appliances in our accelerators complex. A precise beam current and position measurement is required by the SPES project that foresees a radioactive ion beam in a wide range of intensities and energies. The prototypes of the new electronics have shown good performance improvements and the beam current resolution has been extended to few pA.
