The deuteron sepctra from {n,d) reactions at 800 MeV near 0' are characterized by a high energy quasielastic scattering peak, and at lower momentum, a quasifree scattering peak. The ratio of the quasifree to quasielastic cross sections is approximately 10:1.Both cross sections exhibit an A '" mass dependence over the range of target nuclei studied. Comparisons are made with corresponding proton...

We demonstrate that the final state p-n interaction in the reaction of electrodissociation of the deuteron at large Q in a static external field leads to the apparent reacceleration of neutrons. The shift of the neutron velocity from the velocity of the deuteron beam is related to the quantum-mechanical forward-backward asymmetry of the missing momentum distribution in the H(e, ep)n scattering....

We reexamine the large-x neutron/proton structure function ratio extracted from the latest deuteron data, taking into account the most recent developments in the treatment of Fermi motion, binding and nucleon off-shell effects in the deuteron. Our findings suggest that as x → 1 the ratio of the neutron to proton structure functions (F n 2 /F p 2) is consistent with the perturbative QCD expectat...

The article focuses on the principles of strong concentration polarisation of flat and curved interfaces including the phenomenon of the limiting current. It is shown both theoretically and experimentally that electroosmosis of the second kind near the curved interface causes an important change of characteristics of concentration polarisation and a rapid growth of the current through an interf...

The photoelectrons emitted by lead atoms exposed to circularly-polarised vuv radiation are partially spin polarised. Unlike the photoionisation cross section, the measured polarisation does not show autoionisation resonances as a function of wavelength. The polarisation and the known cross section results together yield new absorption data, which can be compared with the oscillator strengths of...

Photochemically induced dynamic nuclear polarisation (photo-CIDNP) in intact bacterial reaction centres has been observed by 13C-solid state NMR under continuous illumination with white light. Strong intensity enhancement of 13C NMR signals of the aromatic rings allows probing the electronic ground state of the two BChl cofactors of the special pair at the molecular scale with atomic selectivit...

For the design of the International Linear Collider (ILC) a polarised positron source based on a helical undulator system has been proposed. In order to optimise the positron beam, i.e. to ensure high intensity as well as high degree of polarisation, a measurement of the polarisation close to the positron creation point is envisaged. In this contribution methods to determine the positron polari...

The polarisation of prompt ψ(2S) mesons is measured by performing an angular analysis of ψ(2S) → μ+μ− decays using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb−1, collected by the LHCb detector at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The polarisation is measured in bins of transverse momentum pT and rapidity y in the kinematic region 3.5 < pT < 15GeV/c and 2.0 ...

We propose a new method to calculate Faraday rotation measure maps from multi-frequency polarisation angle data. In order to solve the so called nπ-ambiguity problem which arises from the observationally ambiguity of the polarisation angle which is only determined up to additions of ±nπ, where n is an integer, we suggest using a global scheme. Instead of solving the nπ-ambiguity for each data p...
