Abstract: Technologies are generally described to provide a congestion management system for a datacenter network. According to some examples, the congestion management system may detach management of congestion at the datacenter network from switches of the datacenter network. The congestion management system may also incorporate a distributed detection mechanism that is configured to detect a potential congestion culprit. Furthermore, detachment of the management of the congestion may allow the datacenter network to incorporate switches with limited traffic management capabilities. The switches may monitor a local congestion status and forward the congestion status to a centralized congestion controller that manages the congestion. The congestion management system may also be deployed for a cross-layer congestion management scheme.

Abstract: A neutron detector includes a pressure vessel, an electrically conductive field cage assembly within the pressure vessel and an imaging subsystem. A pressurized gas mixture of CF4, 3He and 4He at respective partial pressures is used. The field cage establishes a relatively large drift region of low field strength, in which ionization electrons generated by neutron-He interactions are directed toward a substantially smaller amplification region of substantially higher field strength in which the ionization electrons undergo avalanche multiplication resulting in scintillation of the CF4 along scintillation tracks. The imaging system generates two-dimensional images of the scintillation patterns and employs track-finding to identify tracks and deduce the rate and direction of incident neutrons. One or more photo-multiplier tubes record the time-profile of the scintillation tracks permitting the determination of the third coordinate.
