The MERLIN Simulation Program: New Features used in Studies of the LHC Collimation System using MERLIN
No full textWe present recent developments in the MERLIN particle
tracking simulation code, originally developed at DESY.
We have implemented differential scattering cross-sections
based on a pomeron exchange model interpolated over experimental
measurement data, and show that this model is
important at the small scattering angles generated in the
LHC collimators. Preliminary comparisons with previous
simulations are presented

Merlin++
No full textMerlin++ is an accelerator simulation program that tracks beams through components of a ring or beamline. Merlin++ is written in C++, and unlike MAD and most other packages, it is actually a library of C++ routines. The user writes their own program and compiles it against the MERLIN class definitions and function libraries.
More details can be found at merlinpp.org and github.com/MERLIN-Collaboration/MERLINChanges in release 5.03 (2020-03-06)
Merlin++ now used C++14. You may need to update your compiler.
Materials and Scattering
This release provides the ability to define materials as mixtures.
The opportunity was taken for a major cleanup of the definitions of materials and their properties, which had evolved in a haphazard way. The classes Material, MaterialDatabase, CrossSections, MaterialMixture and CompositeMaterial were replaced by MaterialProperties and MaterialData.
Code which used these classes was updated to use the new forms. This was mainly in CollimateProtonProcess and the functions it calls such as Straggle, EnergyLoss and DoScatter, which had accumulated a lot of complicated code over the years, including diagnostic features that are no longer necessary in a production system, and features which turn out not to be as useful as at first thought. Some of these updates included minor changes to the code (such as the use of the particle energy or the bunch energy) so the output is not identical to the previous version. However any such discrepancies are small compared to the overall uncertainties in the physics.
DataTable was improved with non-const iterators. Range for loops can now be used in more places.
Some changes to Exceptions. See the APIChanges document for details.
multitrack: Scripts to compare tracking of single elements between multiple tracking codes.
Some small fixes to the tracking integrators.
Cleanup to header and includes. This significantly reduces build time. You may need to check that you have include statements for all classes used in your scripts.
Full list of changes can be found using git: git log v5.02..v5.0

Merlin Shennum interview, tape 1
No full textMerlin Shennum was born in Pablo, Montana on December 21, 1920 to Ben and Mabel. Merlin graduated from Ronan High School before attending Kinman Business University in Spokane, Washington. Merlin served as a paratrooper for the 101st Airborne Division during World War II, receiving a Bronze Star and Purple Heart for service in Europe. He married Betty Guldborg on December 8, 1945. Shennum returned to Montana after World War II working for the Internal Revenue Service in Helena. Betty and Merlin Shennum moved to Brockway, Montana in 1947, where the raised three children, Alan, Judy, and Jane. Betty died on May 8, 1998 preceding Merlin, who died on December 30, 2013.
A memoir of Shennum\u27s wartime experience was published in Fighting Fox Company: The Battling of the Band of Brothers, by Terry Poyser and Bill Brown

When King Arthur met the Venus : Romantic Antiquarianism and the Illustration of Anne Bannerman’s “The Prophecy of Merlin”
No full textThe first edition of Bannerman’s Tales of Superstition and Chivalry (1802) contained an erotic engraving of a naked Venus figure, which was declared ‘offensive to decency’ by Scottish audiences in the poet’s native Edinburgh. Garner’s account investigates the controversy surrounding the engraving and the puzzling disparity between it and the ballad it illustrated: the Arthurian-themed ‘Prophecy of Merlin’. Using evidence from Bannerman’s correspondence with noted Scottish male publishers and antiquarians, this essay argues that decision to include the dangerous engraving was symptomatic of current anxieties surrounding a female-authored text which threatened to encroach on antiquarian and Arthurian enquiry.Peer reviewe
A study of the behaviour and interactions of the novel FERM protein Willin
No full textWillin is a novel member of the Four-point-one Ezrin Radixin Moesin
(FERM) protein superfamily, containing an N-terminal FERM domain most like the
Ezrin-Radixin-Moesin (ERM) family but also the closely related protein Merlin.
Willin was initially discovered as a yeast two-hybrid binding partner of
neurofascin155, and this interaction has now been confirmed by both co-localisation
studies and the use of two different biochemical methods. Like neurofascin155,
Willin also localises to detergent resistant membranes, and like the ERM family, it is
able to bind to phospholipids. The expression of Willin appears to be toxic as the
production of cell-lines stably expressing Willin proved to be not possible and this
appears to be because it induces apoptosis in cultured cells. This is a proliferation
control function consistent with the suggestion that Willin is the human homologue of the Drosophila tumour suppressor ‘Expanded’. Three antibodies to Willin were also characterised and a novel splice variant, Willin2, subcloned into a GFP-tagged
plasmid for comparison with the original form
