We have produced coherent radiation in the XUV region at 70.9 nm by frequency tripling the fifth harmonic of Nd:YAG laser radiation in neon. BaB(2)O(4) was used to generate the fifth harmonic at 212.8 nm with an output pulse energy of 20 mJ and a pulse width of 5 nsec. Subsequent frequency tripling in neon gas generated 10 W of peak power at 70.9 nm.

The 1(3)Σu (-)←X(3)Σg (-) transition of linear HC5H (A) has been observed in a neon matrix and gas phase. The assignment is based on mass-selective experiments, extrapolation of previous results of the longer HC2n+1H homologues, and density functional and multi-state CASPT2 theoretical methods. Another band system starting at 303 nm in neon is assigned as the 1(1)A1←X˜(1)A1 transition of the cu...

in the achromatic neon effect'' by Marc K Albertô Albert (1998) describes a number of visual displays, which he uses to argue against current models of neon color spreading. He particularly emphasizes models which I and my colleagues have developed. He erroneously concludes that our models cannot explain the percepts that are generated by these displays. I am writing to set the record straight....

A series of experiments were designed to examine how luminance and color cues influence the occurrence of neon color spreading for the Ehrenstein pattern plus the cross pattern. The proportion of "see" responses for color spreading was obtained for different combinations of the luminance and color of the pattern components. The following were obtained. (1) Increase in the luminance of the induc...

The interaction between 3, 4, 9, 10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) and rare gas or para-hydrogen samples is studied by means of laser-induced fluorescence excitation spectroscopy. The comparison between spectra of PTCDA embedded in a neon matrix and spectra attached to large neon clusters shows that these large organic molecules reside on the surface of the clusters when doped by t...

Recently, ARM NEON architecture has occupied a significant share of tablet and smartphone markets due to its low cost and high performance. This paper studies efficient techniques of lattice-based cryptography on ARM processor and presents the first implementation of ring-LWE encryption on ARM NEON architecture. In particular, we propose a vectorized version of Iterative Number Theoretic Transf...

The use of liquid helium and neon as scintillators for neutrino detection is investigated. Several unique properties of these cryogens make them promising candidates for real-time solar neutrino spectroscopy: large ultraviolet scintillation yields from ionizing radiation, transparency to their own scintillation light, and low levels of radioactive impurities. When neutrinos scatter from electro...

Low energy experimental and theoretical triple differential cross sections for the highest occupied molecular orbital of methane (1t(2)) and for the 2p atomic orbital of neon are presented and compared. These targets are iso-electronic, each containing 10 electrons and the chosen orbital within each target has p-electron character. Observation of the differences and similarities of the cross se...

Detailed Monte-Carlo simulations were used to evaluate the performance of a liquid neon scintillation detector for dark matter and low-energy solar neutrino interactions. A maximum-likelihood event vertex fitter including PMT time information was developed, which significantly improves position resolution over spatial-only algorithms, and substantially decreases the required detector size and a...
