Silicon and diamond monochromators (crystals), often used in the Advanced Photon Source X-ray beamlines, require a good quality surface finish and stress-free installation to ensure optimal performance. The device used to mount the crystal has been shown to be a major contributing source of stress. In this case, an adjustable mounting device is an effective method of reducing stresses and impro...

By studying the properties of matter during heavy-ion collisions, a better understanding of the Quark-Gluon plasma is possible. One of the main areas of this study is the calculation of the magnetic field, particularly how the values of conductivity affects this field and how the field strength changes with proper time. In matching the theoretical calculations with results obtained in lab, two diffe...

Tyrosinase is a multifunctional copper-containing enzyme. It can catalyze two distinct reactions of melanin synthesis and benzaldehyde derivatives, which are potential tyrosinase inhibitors.  To find the relationships between charge distributions of benzaldehyde and their pharmaceutical behavior, the present study aimed at investigating nuclear quadrupole coupling constants of quadrupolare nucl...

We propose a theory which exploits the charge-exchange reactions (3He,3Hπ+) and (p,nπ+) as effective sources of virtual pions. We consider processes in which the creation of virtual pions is followed by conventional coupled-channel pion scattering to discrete nuclear states. This picture allows us to incorporate successful theories of pion scattering and utilize virtual pions as probes of the n...

The effective interactions between two nuclear clusters, $d+d$, $t+t$, and $\alpha+\alpha$, are investigated within a cluster model using local nucleon-nucleon~($NN$) forces. It is shown that the interaction in spin-aligned $d+d$ system repulsive for all inter-cluster distances, whereas $\alpha+\alpha$ $t+t$ systems attractive at intermediate distances. Pauli blocking identical-nucleon pairs re...

In this present work, we have calculated the energies positions of 2s22p2(1D)nd2P, 2s22p2(1D)nd2S, 2s22p2(1D)ns 2D, 2s22p2(1S)nd2D and 2s2p3(3P)np2D Rydberg series in photoionization spectra from 2P° metastable state O+ ion. Calculations were performed up to n = 40 applyingthe Screening Constant by Unit Nuclear Charge (SCUNC) via its semi empirical formalism. The quantum defect effective charg...
