      Solfiti, Emanuele; Wan, Di; Celotto, Ambra; Solieri, N.; Muñoz, P.A.; Ximenes, R.F.; Heredia, J.M.; Torregrosa Martin, Martin; Perillo-Marcone, A.; Nuiry, F.X.; Alvaro, Antonio; Berto, Filippo; Calviani, M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Flexible graphite (FG) with ρ = 1 g/cm3 density is a type of highly porous and anisotropic graphite, mainly used for gaskets and sealing applications, but also suitable for energy absorption, such as in the beam dumping ...
    • Flexible graphite as beam dumping material in the TDE blocks of the Large Hadron Collider 

      Solfiti, Emanuele; Berto, Filippo; Calviani, Marco; Perillo-Marcone, Antonio; Heredia, Jorge Maestre; Alvaro, Antonio; Torregrosa, Claudio (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a high energy particle collider at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland. The LHC Beam Dumping System (LBDS) is composed by different equipment employed ...
    • On the modelling of flexible graphite 

      Solfiti, Emanuele (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2023:219, Doctoral thesis, 2023)
      Flexible graphite (FG) is obtained by compaction of exfoliated graphite in the form of sheets having a thickness of 0.2 to 3 mm and density ρ from 0.7 to 1.9g/cm3. Sigraflex® is a commercial type of FG with ρ = 1 g/cm3 ...
