Antineutrino geophysics with liquid scintillator detectors
Detecting the antineutrinos emitted by the decay of radioactive elements in the mantle and crust could provide a direct measurement of the total abundance of uranium and thorium in the Earth. In calculating the antineutrino flux at specific sites, the local geology of the crust and the background from the world’s nuclear power reactors are important considerations. Employing a global crustal ma...
متن کاملConcentration Quenching in Organic Light-Emitting Diodes
Concentration quenching is a general problem in fluorescent and phosphorescent systems. We begin with its theoretical description in solution, where it was first described, then proceed to investigate its mechanisms in both fluorescent and phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes. Two major mechanisms are discussed—molecular aggregation and triplet-singlet intersystem crossing. In the latte...
متن کاملLight yield measurements of scintillator cocktails for use in detectors of neutrinoless double beta decay
The ongoing search for neutrinoless double beta decay is one of the most active fields in particle physics today. Neutrinoless double beta decay, if observed, will provide insight into physics beyond the standard model. Improving scintillator composition in order to optimize light yield and eliminate background is one way to increase detector sensitivity. This paper presents studies on the ligh...
متن کاملOn the quenching of the fluorescence yield in photosynthetic systems.
A modified matrix model describing transfer of excitation energy in the photosynthetic pigment system is discussed. In addition to the antenna pigments and reaction centers of the simple matrix model, a coupling complex is postulated mediating energy transfer between antenna and reaction centers. The values of the parameters describing the transfer properties of the coupling complex can be chos...
متن کاملRemarks on Quenching 201 Quenching Occurs
Consider the parabolic problem u t div (a(u;ru)ru) = u p (1) for t > 0, x 2 R n under initial and boundary conditions u = 1, say. Since p is assumed positive, the right hand side becomes singular as u ! 0. When u reaches zero in nite or in nite time, one says that the solution quenches in nite or in nite time. This article gives a survey of results on this kind of problem and emphasizes those t...
