Metal-loaded organic scintillators for neutrino physics

Organic liquid scintillators are used in many neutrino physics experiments of the past and present. In particular for low energy neutrinos when realtime and energy information are required, liquid scintillators have several advantages compared to other technologies. In many cases the organic liquid needs to be loaded with metal to enhance the neutrino signal over background events. Several meta...

Organic Field-Effect Transistor: Device Physics, Materials, and Process

Organic field-effect transistors have received much attention in the area of low cost, large area, flexible, and printable electronic devices. Lots of efforts have been devoted to achieve comparable device performance with high charge carrier mobility and good air stability. Meanwhile, in order to reduce the fabrication costs, simple fabrication conditions such as the printing techniques have b...

Device Physics of Solution-Processed Organic Field-Effect Transistors

Following the initial demonstration of field-effect conduction in small organic molecules and conjugated polymers, the community of industrial and academic research groups that are interested in using organic semiconductors as the active layer in organic field-effect transistor (OFET) devices has been growing steadily, particularly over the last four to five years. The Institute for Scientific ...

B Physics B Physics

A summary of the most recent and important measurements in b physics is presented. The production of beauty particles in Z decays, b quark couplings, lifetimes, B-B0 oscillations, semileptonic b decays and studies of the number of charm quarks produced in b decays are reviewed. Extraction of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements |Vtd|, |Vcb|, |Vub| and implication for |Vts| are di...
