In this article we compare the classical monopole mass filter of von Zahn and the monopole mass filter with a hyperbolic V-shaped electrode. The experimental results and those of computer simulation for both mass spectrometers are presented. We show that the replacement of a conventional 90 degrees V-shaped electrode by an electrode with a hyperbolic profile substantially improves the peak shape of any given mass, and increases the mass resolution by a factor of 3-4 and the abundance sensitivity by a factor of 100. The potential of high analytical performance combined with electroforming techniques for electrode manufacture indicate future practical uses of such instruments.

The discovery of neutron rich isotopes of the lightest elements on the neutron drip line exhibiting a halo structure has opened
up new vistas in research activities. The novel structural features associated with the halo phenomena have been the subject
for extensive theoretical and experimental investigations in recent times. In this talk, I propose to present a broad overview
of the recent developments in this field, bringing out the striking features which show that a large number oflight nuclei
near the neutron drip line are characterized by a clear separation between a ‘normal’ core nucleus and a loosely bound low
density veil of neutrons. Specifically, the two neutron halos offer a natural premises, from a theoretical standpoint, to
employ three body techniques for studying their detailed structural properties. A considerable part of the talk will be devoted
to report and highlight the results on a number of light halo nuclei such as 11Li, 11Be, 19B and 22C on which we have been carrying out investigations employing a simple but realistic three body model. These three body systems
which have been termed as ‘Borromean’ (i.e while three body systems are bound, the corresponding binary subsystems on the
other hand are unbound) are characterized by large spacial extension and very low separation energy of the neutron. They are,
therefore, ideally suited for exploring the possibility of the existence of Efimov states in two neutron halo nuclei. We have
recently carried out the three body analyses to predict the possibility of the occurrence of such states on which experimental
work at various laboratories is underway. 相似文献
A series of anthraquinone (C(14)O(2)H(8)) derivatives has been studied by means of electron capture negative ion mass spectrometry (ECNI-MS), photoelectron spectroscopy (PES), and AM1 quantum chemical calculations. Mean lifetimes of molecular negative ions M(-.) (MNI) have been measured. The mechanism of long-lived MNI formation in the epithermal energy region of incident electrons has been investigated. A simple model of a molecule (a spherical potential well with the repulsive centrifugal term) has been applied for the analysis of the energy dependence of cross sections at the first stage of the electron capture process. It has been shown that a temporary resonance of MNI at the energy approximately 0.5 eV corresponds to a shape resonance with lifetime 1-2.10(-13) s in the f-partial wave (l = 3) of the incident electron. The next resonant state of MNI at the energy approximately 1.7 eV has been associated with the electron excited Feshbach resonance (whose parent state is a triplet npi* transition). In all cases the initial electron state of the MNI relaxes into the ground state by means of a radiationless transition, and the final state of the MNI is a nuclear excited resonance with a lifetime measurable on the mass spectrometry timescale.

A bilinear time series (BLTS) model is expressed in the form of Akaike's Markovian representation in order to use the Kalman recursive estimation approach. It is shown that Akaike's Markovian representation of autoregressive moving average models of orderp and q (ARMA(p,q)) and that of the bilinear model are equivalent. This equivalence facilitates the maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters involved in the bilinear model, which otherwise is an unwieldy problem. The present approach can easily be extended to take into account missing observations 相似文献
A feasibility study of using high injection voltage and spiral inflector in the present heavy ion central region of VEC is
described. Conditions necessary for waist-to-waist transfer of the ion beam in the hole lens of main magnet have been obtained.
The results of orbit studies of a variety of heavy ions indicate that a spiral inflector can be used in the central region. 相似文献
The aim of this research was to study the production of humic acids (HA) by Trichoderma reesei from empty fruit bunches (EFBs) of palm oil processing, with a focus on the effects of lignocellulosic content and residual lipids. EFBs from two different soils and palm oil producers were previously characterized about their lignocellulosic composition. Submerged fermentations were inoculated with T. reesei spores and set up with or without residual lipids. The results showed that the soil and the processing for removal of the palm fresh fruits were crucial to EFB quality. Thus, EFBs were classified as type 1 (higher lignocellulosic and fatty acids composition similar to the palm oil and palm kernel oil) and type 2 (lower lignocellulosic content and fatty acids composition similar to palm oil). Despite the different profiles, the fungal growth was similar for both EFB types. HA production was associated with fungal growth, and it was higher without lipids for both EFBs. The highest HA productivity was obtained from type 1 EFB (approximately 90 mg L−1 at 48 h). Therefore, the lignocellulosic composition and the nature of the residual lipids in EFBs play an important role in HA production by submerged fermentation.
ZnSe films were pulse-electrodeposited on conducting glass substrates with and without the addition of phosphotungstic acid.
X-ray diffraction studies indicated the formation of single phase cubic ZnSe. Addition of phosphotungstic acid resulted in
films with nanocrystallites. The band gap of the films was found to increase due to addition of phosphotungstic acid. The
films had a crystallite size of the order of 15nm and a surface roughness of 1.8nm. Laser Raman studies exhibited the LO phonon
peaks of ZnSe. The films were found to possess a slight excess of Se as evident from the energy dispersive X-ray analysis
measurements. 相似文献
