Measurement of the ground state hyperfine splitting in207Pb II
1988
The ground state hyperfine splitting of simply ionized lead has been determined using pulsed laser excitation of electrodynamically confined ions. We obtain ΔV(6P1/2)=12.85(10) GHz
Plasma pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution study of cajaninstilbene acid in rats by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry
2010
Cajaninstilbene acid (CSA; 3-hydroxy-4-prenyl-5-methoxystilbene-2-carboxylic acid) is a major active constituent of pigeonpea leaves, has been proven to be effective in clinical treatment of diabetes, hepatitis, measles and dysentery. A rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the determination of CSA in rat plasma and various tissues (brain, heart, lung, liver, spleen, small intestine and kidney) of rat for the first time. Rat plasma and tissue distribution pre-treated by protein precipitation with acetoacetate was analyzed using LC-MS/MS with an electrospray ionization (ESI) interface, and isoliquiritigenin was us…
The Transoid, Ortho, and Gauche Conformers of Decamethyl-n-tetrasilane, n-Si4Me10: Electronic Transitions in the Multistate Complete Active Space Se…
2003
Multistate complete active space second-order perturbation theory (MS-CASPT2) is used to improve earlier descriptions of the low-energy valence excited states of the transoid, ortho, and gauche conformers of decamethyl-n-tetrasilane, n-Si4Me10, using a generally contracted basis set of atomic natural orbitals (ANOs) at a ground-state geometry optimized in the second-order Moller−Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) approximation with Dunning's correlation consistent triple-ζ basis set (cc-pVTZ) on the silicon atoms and the 6-31G* and 6-31G basis sets on the carbon and hydrogen atoms, respectively. Relative energies, relative free energies, and mole fractions of the transoid, ortho, and gauche …
A theoretical study of the gas-phase chemi-ionization reaction between uranium and oxygen atoms
2005
The U+O chemi-ionization reaction has been investigated by quantum chemical methods. Potential-energy curves have been calculated for several electronic states of UO and UO+. Comparison with the available spectroscopic and thermodynamic values for these species is reported and a mechanism for the chemi-ionization reaction U+O -> UO++e(-) is proposed. The U+O and Sm+O chemi-ionization reactions are the first two metal-plus-oxidant chemi-ionization reactions to be studied theoretically in this way.
Quantum Control in Atomic Systems
1999
We review a series of recent experiments demonstrating quantum control of atomic processes and products induced by the interaction of the atom with coherent bichromatic electromagnetic fields. Since the effects under consideration are electromagnetically induced, control is established through the field parameters i.e. frequency, amplitude and phase. The controlled processes include resonant and non resonant multiphoton ionization, autoionization, radiative decay in multiple continua (ionization branching ratios) and third harmonic generation.
Interpretation of absorption edges by resonant electronic spectroscopy: experiment and theory
2004
Abstract Resonant electronic spectroscopy consists in measuring a non-radiative decay process (Auger or autoionization process) excited with photon energies around an absorption edge. The resonant spectra carry information both on the nature of the electronic transitions near the absorption edge by scanning the very first empty orbitals above the Fermi level (through the absorption process), and, on the other hand, on the atomic electronic configuration through the lineshape of the observed decay process. In this paper, after a quick review of the pioneering works in this field, we show that resonant measurements and their theoretical modeling can be used to precisely interpret complex abso…
Electronic structure of terpene derivatives
1998
Abstract He I photoelectron spectra of terpene derivatives and their preparative intermediates have been measured. The changes of the ionization potentials are discussed in relation to the corresponding variations of the electronic structure. Especially, the effect of methyl and oxygen substitution has been studied.
Closed form for two-photon free–free transition matrix elements
2000
Abstract Two-photon free–free transitions happen in the multiphoton ionization with more than one excess photon and in bremsstralung. Up to now, the configuration space free–free transition amplitudes have not been written in closed form. We propose a modified Coulomb Green’s function (CGF) Sturmian expansion which allows one to obtain expressions for two-photon radial transition matrix elements in the closed form which are easy to continue analytically to calculate free–free transitions in H.
A complementary laser system for ISOLDE RILIS
2011
The Resonance Ionization Laser Ion Source (RILIS) is a powerful tool for efficient and selective production of radioactive ion beams at Isotope Separator On Line (ISOL) facilities. To avoid isobaric background, highly selective stepwise resonant ionization is applied, using up to three different laser wavelengths. Due to their advantages in terms of stability and reliability, an all solid-state titanium:sapphire (Ti:Sa) system is used or is planned to be installed at the majority of on-line facilities worldwide. Such an all solid-state Ti:Sa laser system is going to be installed at the ISOLDE RILIS at CERN alongside the well-established dye laser system.
The upgraded ISOLDE yield database – A new tool to predict beam intensities
2020
At the CERN-ISOLDE facility a variety of radioactive ion beams are available to users of the facility. The number of extractable isotopes estimated from yield database data exceeds 1000 and is still increasing. Due to high demand and scarcity of available beam time, precise experiment planning is required. The yield database stores information about radioactive beam yields and the combination of target material and ion source needed to extract a certain beam along with their respective operating conditions. It allows to investigate the feasibility of an experiment and the estimation of required beamtime. With the increasing demand for ever more exotic beams, needs arise to extend the functi…
