Polarization density matrix forZ decay intoWff' with generalZWW couplings

We give the polarization density matrix ofZ andW for the decay processZ ⁰→Wff' with generalZWW couplings. The matrix elements are expressed in terms of kinematical invariants so that they can be readily used in \(p\bar p \to Z^0 W\) as well. Using these formulas, we analyze the possibilities of probing theZWW couplings through the decay of polarizedZ ⁰.     

Raman scattering from Pt(CN)42− adsorbed on Pt colloids

Raman scattering from Pt(CN)₄^2? adsorbed on Pt colloids (average diameter of 16 A) is compared with the Raman signal from the same amount of Pt(CN)₄^2? in solution. The wavelength dependence of the adsorbate Raman intensity is measured from 308 to 647 nm and compared with a Lorenz/Mie calculation of the enhancement factor for the electromagnetic field intensity on the surface of a Pt sphere as a function of sphere radius and incident wavelength.     

Radiation Effects on Concentrated Potassium Hexacyanoferrate(III) Solutions

The neutron irradiated potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) solutions were analyzed for Fe(CN)₆^4?, Fe(CN)₆^3?, and Prussian blue. The retention values (1.1%) were constant throughout the pH and concentration ranges studied, and did not change with the length of irradiation. The complex behavior of the radiochemical yield of the Fe(CN)₆^4? and Prussian blue was attributed to the competition of the various reactions involved in the irradiation.
