CNS active target (CAT) for missing mass spectroscopy with intense beams
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new gaseous active target based on a time projection chamber, named CAT, is introduced. The remarkable feature is a dual gain THGEM to decrease the effective gain for the beam particles while keeping a high enough effective gain for the recoil particles. The measured effective gain of low gain region was a factor of one hundred smaller than that of high gain region. This technique provides a wide dynamic range in order to detect both the beam and recoil particles at the same time even with a very high intensity beam of more than 105 Hz.

Development of intense, long-lived positron sources
In recent years slow positron beam physics has become a very active and diverse field [1] . Currently under consideration are several applications of slow positron beams which require intense beams (>_ 1 Ci of e + ) for their success. A partial list of such applications includes : the production and study of antihydrogen [2], the use of positrons in synchrotron light sources [3], positron micro...
متن کاملBuffered high charge spectrally-peaked proton beams in the relativistic-transparency regime
Spectrally-peaked proton beams of high charge (E 8 MeV p » , E 4 MeV D » , N 50 » nC )have been observed from the interaction of an intense laser ( 1019 > Wcm)with ultrathinCH foils, asmeasured by spectrally-resolved full beamprofiles. These beams are reproducibly generated for foil thicknesses 5–100 nm, and exhibit narrowing divergencewith decreasing target thickness down to 8 » for 5 nm. Si...
متن کاملPotential Roles for Heavy Negative Ions as Driver Beams
We have assessed the feasibility of producing heavy negative ion beams as drivers for an inertial confinement fusion reactor. Negative ion beams offer the potentially important advantages relative to positive ions that they will not draw electrons from surfaces and the target chamber plasma during acceleration, compression and focusing, and they will not have a low energy tail. Intense negative...

A hydrocarbon degrading Aspergillus terreus MTCC 6324 produces a high level of extremely active and stable cellular large catalase (CAT) during growth on n-hexadecane to combat the oxidative stress caused by the hydrocarbon degrading metabolic machinery inside the cell. A 160-fold purification with specific activity of around 66 × 10(5) U mg(-1) protein was achieved. The native protein molecula...
