Low distortion recording of transient low- light-level phenomena

Two types of low-light-level image sensors have been investigated for use in low distortion recording: an SIT-vidicon (Silicon-Intensifier Target), and a sensor consisting of a newvicon and two stage proxifier. The results are compared and discussed. In addition, a triggerable video frame store is described.

Photoinduced reconfiguration cycle in a molecular adsorbate layer studied by femtosecond inner-shell photoelectron spectroscopy

A time-resolved study of core-level chemical shifts in a monolayer of aromatic molecules reveals complex photoinduced reaction dynamics. The combination of electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis and ultrashort pulse excitation in the extreme ultraviolet allows performing time-correlated 4d-core-level spectroscopy of iodine atoms that probe the local chemical environment in the adsorbate molecule. The selectivity of the method unveils metastable molecular configurations that appear about 50 ps after the excitation and are efficiently quenched back to the ground state.     

Search for direct photons from S-Au collisions at 200 GeV/nucleon

The CERES experiment has measured inclusive photon production in S-Au collisions of 200 GeV/nucleon at the CERN SPS. No evidence for direct emission of photons was found. For the kinematic region 2.1<y<2.65 and 0.4 GeV/c<p??<2.0 GeV/c the yield andp??-dependence of the observed photons are well reproduced by hadron decays. Furthermore, their production rate is found to be proportional to the charged particle density. The systematic errors comparing the measured and expected photon yield result in an upper limit of 14% for the emission of direct photons in central S-Au collisions. For a photon source with a yield depending quadratically on the charged particle density the limit can be reduced to 7%.
