We reexamine the production of J/ψ and other charmonium states for a variety of target-projectile choices at the SPS, in particular for the interesting comparison between S+U at 200 GeV/c and Pb+Pb at 158 GeV/c as observed in the experiments NA38 and NA50 respectively. For this study we use a newly constructed cascade code LUCIFER II, which yields acceptable descriptions of both hard and soft p...

Abstract: Two new transition metal complexes, containing the acidic ligand 5-chlorosalicylic acid (H2L5), and 1,10-phenanthroline（phen） and 1,3-Di(4-pyridyl)propane (bpp) as secondary ligands are reported. They are formulated as {[Pb(HL5)2(phen)(H2O)]·H2O}n(1), [Zn2(HL5)4(bpp)2]n(2). All the complexes are characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffractions. Compoud 1 crystallizes in the triclini...

ALICE is a general-purpose heavy-ion experiment able to identify particles over a wide momentum range thanks to excellent vertexing and tracking performance, low material budget and different Particle IDentification (PID) techniques. In this paper the measurement of the production of identified light flavour particles in pp, p–Pb and Pb–Pb collisions is reported. It is of fundamental importance...

of past research 1) The individual and competitive adsorption of metal ions on graphene oxides (GOs) studies by experimental and DFT calculation The heavy metal ions can be accumulated in living tissues, so they must be removed from polluted water. Graphene oxides (GOs) are considered as the ideal adsorbent material because the large quantities of oxygen-containing functional groups strengthen ...

Polycresol p (o-cresol) has been synthesized by cyclic voltammetry technique in acidic medium using sulfuric acid as an electrolyte at 30 o C. The electrosynthesized polymer was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The adsorption properties of the fabricated polymer were investigated for adsorptive removal of Pb (II) ions from aqueous solutions. Vario...

A novel method was developed for determination of trace amounts of lead in water and food samples. Solidified floating organic drop microextraction was used to preconcentrate the lead ion. After the analyte was complexed with 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol, undecanol and acetonitrile were added as extraction and dispersive solvent, respectively. Variables such as pH, volumes of extraction and disp...

Batch sorption study was performed using used black tea leaves (UBTL) as a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of lead (II) from aqueous solutions. Experiments were conducted as a function of contact time, initial metal ion concentration, solution pH and temperature. The sorption of Pb(II) on used tea leaves increases with increase of initial pH of solution upto a certain limit which corresponds...

In this study, a new type of alumina-coated magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4/Al2O3 NPs) with sodium dodecyl sulfate1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (SDS-PAN) as a new sorbent solid phase extraction (SPE) has been successfully synthesized and applied for preconcentration and separation of Pb (II). The metal was eluted with 3 mL HNO3 2 mol L directly and detected by flame atomic absorption spectrometry ...

The dinuclear title compound, [Pb(2)(C(6)H(8)O(4))(NO(3))(2)(C(19)H(13)N(5))(2)], lies with the mid-point of the butyl chain of the bridging adipate unit on a center of inversion. The Pb(II) ion is covalently bonded to the nitrate anion and is bonded to a carboxyl-ate group of the adipate unit by another covalent bond. The N-heterocycle functions in a chelating tridentate mode. The metal atom e...
