Recombination studies of photodissociated MbCO by Mössbauer spectroscopy at low temperatures
1990
Rebinding of carbonmonoxide to myoglobin after photodissociation has been studied by Mossbauer spectroscopy at 57.6 K and below for up to 9 days. The time dependence is reproduced by a set of exponentials representing a distribution of activation enthalpies. A shift to smaller values of these activation enthalpies and of the preexponential factor compared to optical studies at higher temperatures has been observed as well as pumping into long-living states.
The model of recombination process in TlBr
2002
The time-resolved luminescence was used as a tool in the study of recombination process in several undoped TlBr crystals. The spectra and decay kinetics observed under electron beam excitation were investigated. Observation of several luminescence bands with different decay rates shows that more than one recombination center is involved and the recombination process is quite complicated. The band at ∼2.5 eV is dominant under 10 ns excitation pulse (electron beam or nitrogen laser pulses). The results of short-lived absorption and luminescence are used for analysis of possible mechanisms of recombination processes in TlBr.
Cryogenic helium as stopping medium for high-energy ions
2008
We have investigated the survival and transport efficiency of Ra-219 ions emitted by a Ra-223 source in high-density cryogenic helium gas, with ionisation of the gas induced by a proton beam. The combined efficiency of ion survival and transport by an applied electric field was measured as a function of ionisation rate density for electric fields up to 160 V/cm and for three temperature and density combinations: 77 K, 0.18 mg/cm(3), 10 K, 0.18 mg/cm(3) and 10 K, 0.54 mg/cm(3). At low beam intensity or high electric field, an efficiency of 30%, is obtained, confirming earlier results. A sharp drop in efficiency is observed at a "threshold" ionisation rate density which increases with the squ…

Thermal annealing of radiation defects in MgF2 single crystals induced by neutrons at low temperatures
2020
Abstract Primary radiation defects in ionic solids consist of Frenkel defects – pairs of defects - anion vacancies with trapped electrons (F-type centers) and interstitial ions. Upon temperature increase after irradiation, the electronic F-type centers are annealed due to recombination with mobile interstitials. Analysis of the recombination (annealing) kinetics allows us to obtain important information on the interstitial migration. At high radiation doses more complex dimer (F2-type) centers are observed in several charge states, which are well distinguished spectroscopically. We analysed here available experimental kinetics of the F2-type center annealing in MgF2 in a wide temperature ra…
Consistent searches for SMEFT effects in non-resonant dijet events
2018
We investigate the bounds which can be placed on generic new-physics contributions to dijet production at the LHC using the framework of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory, deriving the first consistently-treated EFT bounds from non-resonant high-energy data. We recast an analysis searching for quark compositeness, equivalent to treating the SM with one higher-dimensional operator as a complete UV model. In order to reach consistent, model-independent EFT conclusions, it is necessary to truncate the EFT effects consistently at order $1/\Lambda^2$ and to include the possibility of multiple operators simultaneously contributing to the observables, neither of which has been done in prev…
Time-resolved luminescence of CsITl crystals excited by pulsed electron beam
1997
Abstract Results of the time-resolved measurements of CsITl crystal luminescence under electron pulse excitation at room temperature are reported. The rise and decay times of both 400 and 500 nm emission bands have been measured. The results obtained show that the main mechanism of the luminescence excitation is hole recombination luminescence which is due to self-trapped hole migration toward Tl 0 centres. Stimulation spectra of photostimulated luminescence of CsITl are also analyzed.
Annealing of color centers in LiBaF 3
2002
Results of the glow rate technique to analyze the activation energy of thermostimulated annealing of X-ray created F -type color centers in LiBaF 3 crystals are presented, showing pure and containing oxygen centers. It is shown that depending on the impurity composition two alternative mechanisms are involved in the annealing of color centers. It is proposed that either the anion vacancy governed migration of F -centers resulting in recombination with complementary defects, or the thermal delocalization of radiation created fluorine ( F i ) interstitials captured by anti-structure defects followed by recombination with all kinds of complementary F -type centers are responsible for the recom…
Luminescence mechanisms of oxygen-related defects in AlN
2002
Spectral characteristics of native oxygen-related defects existing in the crystalline lattice of AlN were studied. Features of photoluminescence observed under exposure to ultraviolet light together with those of the photostimulated luminescence testify the recombination character of luminescence. The mechanism of luminescence of oxygen-related defects is proposed.
