Nuclear size dependence of inclusive particle production

The inclusive production of π⁺, π^?, K⁺, K^?, p and $\text{p}$ for protons incident on carbon and tungsten targets was studied at the Internal Target Area of the Fermilab. We assume an A^α dependence for the inclusive cross sections and report here on the variation of α with incident momentum, transverse momentum and particle species.     

Ion cyclotron resonance spectrometry. A means of evaluating ‘kinetic shifts’

Ion Cyclotron Resonance Spectrometry Is Proposed As The Method For Evaluating ‘Kinetic Shifts.’ The Proposal Is Tested By A Comparison Of The Appearance Potentials For Some Simple Cleavage Reactions With Those For Some Cleavage And Rearrangement Fragmentations In Benzene, Benzonitrile, Anisole, Aniline And Cubane.     

Über die eigenionisation der halogenfluoride

A model is given for the self-ionization of halogen fluorides, in particular for bromine trifluoride, and the arguments for and against the self-ionization are critically discussed. From our work and based on ¹⁸F tracer exchange studies and electrochemical, spectroscopic and chemical investigations, it appears as if the ionization of BrF₅ is very small and relatively unimportant. The halogen fluorides react with Lewis acids and bases as molecular compounds involving donor-acceptor mechanisms.     

Isolation of swinholide A and related glycosylated derivatives from two field collections of marine cyanobacteria

[structure: see text] Chemical investigation of two field collections of marine cyanobacteria has led to the discovery of two new cytotoxic natural products, ankaraholides A (2) and B (3), along with the known compound swinholide A (1). Since swinholide-type compounds were previously localized to the heterotrophic bacteria of sponges, these findings raise intriguing questions about their true metabolic source.     

Superconducting properties of MgB2 from first principles

Solid MgB(2) has rather interesting and technologically important properties, such as a very high superconducting transition temperature. Focusing on this compound, we report the first nontrivial application of a novel density-functional-type theory for superconductors, recently proposed by the authors. Without invoking any adjustable parameters, we obtain the transition temperature, the gaps, and the specific heat of MgB(2) in very good agreement with experiment. Moreover, our calculations show how the Coulomb interaction acts differently on sigma and pi states, thereby stabilizing the observed superconducting phase.
