Cosmic ray test for a T0 detector

The endcap of time-of-flight (ETOF) detector in BES (Beijing Spectrometer) III is planned to be upgraded by using multi-gap resistive plate chambers (MRPCs) and the designed time resolution of the MRPCs is around 50 ps. Thus a time-zero (T0) detector needs to be built to offer a high quality reference time for the MRPCs beam test. So a T0 detector is built using plastic scintillator tiles (BC420) to couple with four fast phototubes (PMTs, Hamamatsu H6533). The timing properties of the detector is studied by using a cosmic ray test and factors related to the time resolution, such as plastic scintillator size, readout mode and angle effects, are discussed. T0 detector timing resolutions of ～41-62 ps are achieved, which means that the T0 detector can be used in the MRPC beam test.

A position-sensitive detector with lithium glass and MaPMT

A position-sensitive detector is designed for neutron detection. It uses a single continuous screen of a self-made lithium glass scintillator, rather than discrete crystal implementations, coupling with a multi-anode PMT (MaPMT). The scintillator is fast and efficient; with a decay time of 34 ns and thermal neutron detection efficiency of around 95.8% for the 3 mm thick screen, and its light yield is around 5670 photons per neutron and 3768 photons per MeV γ rays deposition. The spatial resolution is around 1.6 mm (FWHM) with the energy resolution around 34.7% by using α (5.2 MeV) rays test.

Scintillating properties of LiYSiO_4:Ce

LiYSiO₄:Ce is a promising scintillator and some of its properties have been reported in previous papers. In this paper, samples doped with different concentrations of Ce are prepared and studied. First, the relative light yields of the samples are measured as 28.1%-37.1% compared with a standard anthracene crystal being irradiated by α particles and as ～ 27.2% compared with NaI being irradiated by X-rays. Second, the effects of sample thicknesses on light yields are presented. Finally the timing behaviors of samples with different doped concentrations being irradiated with alpha particles and X-rays are discussed. The result shows that LiYSiO₄:Ce is a kind of fast scintillator ( ～ 30 ns) with a moderate light yield that can be used for neutron detection.

REGIONAL ASSIGNMENT OF HUMAN ALCOHOL DEHYDROGENASE (ADH) GENE TO 4pter→4q21

The hybrid clone FD1 constructed by fusion of Chinese hamster cell line Wg3-h with human lymphocyte was irradiated with X-ray. Fourteen survival clones were isolated and 3 of them, F5B, F52B, F61A were analyzed in detail by cytogenetic and biochemical methods. The results of chromosome Gbanding followed by Giemsa-11 differential staining show that there exists a deleted human chromosome 4 in all of the three hybrids. This deletion of human chromosome 4 in F61A is 4pter→4q21. The results of isozyme analysis of phosphoglucomutase-2 (PGM2) which is located on 4p14→4q21 confirm our cytogenetic conclusion. We used polyaerylamide gel electrophoresis to study the alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) in human lymphocyte, Wg3-h and hybrid clones. Their electrophoretic pattern showed that human ADH isozyme did express, in the peripheral blood lymphocyte, hybrids FSB, F52B, F61A and FD1. According to these results, we suggest that one of the Class 1 ADH structural genes is located on the human chromosome 4pter→4q21. Rec
