η-mesic nucleus or the quasibound nuclear state of an η-meson in a nucleus is caused by the strong-interaction force alone. The project SCAN2 is aimed at searching and studying the η-meson nuclei production. The experiment is based on two-arms spectrometer using internal target at the Nuclotron. The setup was designed to study products from η-meson nucleus decay in the reaction d + 12C → (A)η + X → π + p + (A – 2) at deuteron energies from 0:5 to 2:5 GeV/nucl. The energy spectrum of secondary protons has been measured. The dependence of the yields of protons and pions on the beam energy has been obtained. This dependence can show us the minimum energy for the S 11 resonance formation. The first prototype of the neutron detector, which will be used in a new modified experimental setup SCAN3 for recording of neutrons from η-nucleus decays in the πn and pn channels, has been tested. The time-offlight method to obtain the neutron spectrum was used. The time resolution and efficiency of the neutron detector have been obtained.

A quantitative analysis of relative stabilities in organic crystal structures is possible by means of reliable calculations of interaction energies between pairs of molecules. Such calculations have been performed by the PIXEL method for 1108 non-ionic and 98 ionic organic crystals, yielding total energies and separate Coulombic polarization and dispersive contributions. A classification of molecule–molecule interactions emerges based on pair energy and its first derivative, the interaction force, which is estimated here explicitly along an approximate stretching path. When molecular separation is not at the minimum-energy value, as frequently happens, forces may be attractive or repulsive. This information provides a fine structural fingerprint and may be relevant to the mechanical properties of materials. The calculations show that the first coordination shell includes destabilizing contacts in ∼ 9% of crystal structures for compounds with highly polar chemical groups (e.g. CN, NO2, SO2). Calculations also show many pair contacts with weakly stabilizing (neutral) energies; such fine modulation is presumably what makes crystal structure prediction so difficult. Ionic organic salts or zwitterions, including small peptides, show a Madelung-mode pairing of opposite ions where the total lattice energy is stabilized from sums of strongly repulsive and strongly attractive interactions. No obvious relationships between atom–atom distances and interaction energies emerge, so analyses of crystal packing in terms of geometrical parameters alone should be conducted with due care.

Non-photochemical laser-induced nucleation (NPLIN) has been a growing field of study since 1996, and more than 40 compounds including organics, inorganics and proteins have now been probed under various conditions (solvents, laser types, laser beamsetc.). The potential advantages of using this technique are significant, in particular polymorphic control. To realize these benefits, the objective is a carefully designed experimental setup and highly controlled parameters, for example temperature and energy density, in order to reduce the uncertainty regarding the origin of nucleation. In this paper, a new experimental setup designed to study NPLIN is reported. After a full technical description of the present setup, the different functionalities of this device will be illustrated through results on glycine. Glycine crystals obtained through NPLIN nucleate at the meniscus and exhibit different morphologies. The nucleation efficiency, as a function of the supersaturation of the solution used and the laser beam energy density, has also been established for a large number of samples, with all other parameters held constant.

AbstractAlthough optical pulsar studies have been limited to a few favoured objects, the observation of pulsars at optical wavelengths provides an opportunity to derive a number of important pulsar characteristics, including the energy spectrum of the emitting electrons and the geometry of the emission zone. These parameters will be vital for a comprehensive model of pulsar emission mechanisms. Observations of the Crab pulsar with the high-time-resolution photon-tagging photometer IquEYE show an optical–radio delay of ~178 μs. Incorporating simultaneous Jodrell Bank radio observations suggested a correlation between giant radio pulses and enhanced optical pulses for this pulsar, thus offering possible evidence for the reprocessing of radio photons.
