Exclusive measurements of the production of-mesons in the pp ! ppp reaction have been carried out at excess energies of 16 and 37 MeV above threshold. The deviations from phase space are dominated by the proton-proton nal state interaction and this innuences particularly the energy distribution of the meson. However, evidence is also presented at the higher energy for the existence of an anisot...

Significant discrepancies have been observed between proton form factors as measured by Rosenbluth separation and polarization transfer techniques. There are indications that this difference may be caused by corrections to the one photon exchange approximation that are not taken into account in standard radiative correction procedures. In this paper, we constrain the two-photon amplitudes by co...

Two types of inorganic/organic hybrids comprising Brønsted acid-base ionic groups have been prepared and studied for proton exchange membranes (PEM) applications. The hybrid membranes have a highly cross-linked silicon-oxygen backbone and trifluoromethanesulfonimide (HTFSI) doped organic amine groups. The Si-O backbone provides the membranes thermal/chemical/mechanical properties and the HTFSI-...

A novel proton exchange membrane using phosphotungstic acid (HPW) as proton carrier and cubic bicontinuous Ia3d mesoporous silica (meso-silica) as framework material is successfully developed as proton exchange membranes for fuel cells. Meso-silica is functionalized by 80wt% HPW using a vacuum impregnation method. The HPW-functionalized meso-silica (HPW-meso-silica) nanocomposites are character...

We show that the asymmetry in the fractional energy of charm versus anticharm jets produced in high energy di ractive photoproduction is sensitive to the interference of the Odderon (C = ) and Pomeron (C = +) exchange amplitudes in QCD. We predict the dynamical shape of the asymmetry in a simple model and estimate its magnitude to be of the order 15% using constraints from proton-proton vs. pro...

The interannular proton exchange in (w-phenylalkyl)-benzenium ions, 1, (2 < n < 20) is an extremely fast process. It gives rise to the statistical distribution of the eleven protons at the two rings within the microsecond time scale even if twenty methylene groups are located between the rings. 1 ions and various deuterium-labelled analogues have been generated by EI-induced fragmentation of th...

It was first suggested by Heisenberg that the forces between a proton and a neutron are connected with an exchange of charge between the two heavy particles. This exchange nature of the neutron-proton forces is now generally accepted. It would follow from this assumption that in suitable circumstances a proton (neutron) could emit a positively (negatively) charged particle transforming itself i...

Photodeposition of metallic nanostructures onto ferroelectric surfaces is typically based on patterning local surface reactivity via electric field poling. Here, we demonstrate metal deposition onto substrates which have been chemically patterned via proton exchange (i.e., without polarization reversal). The chemical patterning provides the ability to tailor the electrostatic fields near the su...

A comparison between existing nuclear magnetic resonance measurements and calculations of the scalar spin-spin interaction (J coupling) in deuterated molecular hydrogen yields stringent constraints on anomalous spin-dependent potentials between nucleons at the atomic scale (∼ 1 Å). The dimensionless coupling constant g(P)(p)g(P)(N)/4 π associated with the exchange of pseudoscalar (axionlike) bo...
