Optical and Scintillation Properties of Heavy Crystal Scintillators

This paper presents a comparative study of the optical and scintillation properties for various inorganic crystal scintillators commonly used in high energy physics experiments. Transmittance, excitation and photo-luminescence spectra were measured for samples with a dimension of 1.5 X0. The transmittance data are compared to the theoretical limit calculated by using refractive index, assuming ...

Ultra-Fast Timing with Plastic Scintillators

As precursor to HISPEC, the upcoming PreSPEC campaign incorporates the commissioning of the first version of the LYCCA (Lund-York-Cologne-CAlorimeter) detector system called LYCCA-0. The LYCCA detector is a Time-of-Flight (ToF), ∆E, E set-up designed to unambigiously identify nuclear reaction products by their mass A, and charge Z . For this to be possible up to masses around A = 100, the total...

Multicomponent reactions are accelerated in water.

Two multicomponent reactions, the Ugi and Passerini reactions, are accelerated by the use of aqueous solutions. The rate enhancements compared to those by organic solvents can approach 300-fold. Reactions performed in water offer another advantage that products are often insoluble, permitting direct isolation by precipitation. The methods were applied to the preparation of three small combinato...
