It is named after the lineage of Bönpo priests in whose house it is kept. The collection, consisting of 340 different items with a total of 3,477 folios, cards, or individual sheets of paper, represents the ritual repertoire of the priests of the kings of Mustang, once a Tibetan kingdom and now a district of Nepal. The manuscripts exemplify the variety of forms, scripts, decorations, materials and other codicological features. The texts have not been used since the priestly line ended in the 1950s or 60s. The value of this collection is twofold: first, the collection was assembled from different parts of Tibet and the Himalaya over six centuries, and offers a rich body of material which can be retrieved by material and codicological analyses that will contribute to our understanding of book and paper making traditions in the region, as well as social aspects of Tibetan manuscript production; and secondly, in terms of its content, it offers a window onto the nature of royal religion in a Tibetan kingdom. These manuscripts were used in rituals for the protection and prosperity of the kingdom of Mustang, its subjects and members of royal lineage; knowledge of the materials and ritual practices involved in the creation of physical objects will help to understand the interaction between religion, patronage and political authority in Tibetan society.DATASET FILESThe dataset contains files:• Drangsong_175.zip (master scans of the manuscript pages with color checker),• Drangsong_175.pdf (containing presentation images of the manuscript pages),• Drangsong_175_001v.png (manuscript page sample),• Drangsong_175_backlites.zip (backlit samples),• Drangsong_175_XRF_analysis.png (X-ray fluorescence spectrometry).DESCRIPTION OF THE MANUSCRIPTDetailed information on writing, materials, format, and layout is provided in a Readme.txt file attached to this dataset.</p

The collection, consisting of 340 different items with a total of 3,477 folios, cards, or individual sheets of paper, represents the ritual repertoire of the priests of the kings of Mustang, once a Tibetan kingdom and now a district of Nepal. The manuscripts exemplify the variety of forms, scripts, decorations, materials and other codicological features. The texts have not been used since the priestly line ended in the 1950s or 60s. The value of this collection is twofold: first, the collection was assembled from different parts of Tibet and the Himalaya over six centuries, and offers a rich body of material which can be retrieved by material and codicological analyses that will contribute to our understanding of book and paper making traditions in the region, as well as social aspects of Tibetan manuscript production; and secondly, in terms of its content, it offers a window onto the nature of royal religion in a Tibetan kingdom. These manuscripts were used in rituals for the protection and prosperity of the kingdom of Mustang, its subjects and members of royal lineage; knowledge of the materials and ritual practices involved in the creation of physical objects will help to understand the interaction between religion, patronage and political authority in Tibetan society.DATASET FILESThe dataset contains files:• Drangsong_120.zip (master scans of the manuscript pages with color checker),• Drangsong_120.pdf (containing presentation images of the manuscript pages),• Drangsong_120_001r.png (manuscript page sample),• Drangsong_120_backlites.zip (backlit samples),• Drangsong_120_macros.zip (in close-up samples),• Drangsong_120_XRF_analysis.png (X-ray fluorescence spectrometry).DESCRIPTION OF THE MANUSCRIPTDetailed information on writing, materials, format, and layout is provided in a Readme.txt file attached to this dataset.</p
Heavy neutral leptons at a muon collider
No full textDataset contains data related to the study of the prospects for heavy neutral lepton (heavy neutrino) production in future experiments at muon collider described in the publication "Optimal search reach for heavy neutral leptons at a muon collider" published in Physics Letters B 841 (2023) 137945.This research was part of the project "Realistic simulations of exotic processes at future e+e- colliders" funded by National Science Centre, Poland, under grant agreement nr 2021/43/B/ST2/01778.MethodologyThe study was based on large event samples of different particle scattering processes, which can be observed at future Muon Collider, generated with the WHIZARD program. Considered signal process of heavy neutral lepton production was simulated according to the HeavyN model. Outputs from the WHIZARD program (lists of produced particles with their parameters) were then processed with the DELPHES framework to model Muon Collider detector performance. Event samples from detector simulation were stored in root format.Signal samples used for the analysis are too large (about 200 GB) to be stored. Included in the dataset are control scripts of the WHIZARD program which can be used to reproduce them. These are "pseudo-data" reflecting our current assumptions about how the future experiment at Muon Collider will perform and what model describes properly µ+µ- interactions. Also included are final numerical results on the expected coupling limits presented in the publication and the corresponding limits.Files:example WHIZARD scripts for generating signal samples for production of heavy neutring of 1 TeV mass, for Muon Collider running at 3 TeV and 10 TeV,archive with WHIZARD scripts for all considered heavy neutrino masses,CSV files with final analysis results: expected limits on the heavy neutrino coupling parameter V2lN as a function of its mass, for Muon Collider running at 3 TeV and 10 TeV,PDF and PNG files of the figure showing these limits (Fig. 3 from the paper).Software tools usedHeavyN model webpage: https://feynrules.irmp.ucl.ac.be/wiki/HeavyNWHIZARD Event Generator web page: https://whizard.hepforge.org/DELPHES: https://github.com/delphes/delphes</ul
