Inelastically scattered IX-particles from the reaction 32S(IX, 1X')32S have been studied with solid state counters at extreme backward angles in order to determine spin-parity combinations for levels in 32S at excitation energies Ex up to 7 �15 MeV. The results confirm the well-established spin and parity values, show that the 5� 798 MeV spin 1 state has negative parity, and provide narrow limits for the possible spin and parity values of the 6'410,6' 666,6' 762, and 6� 854 MeV levels. A previously unreported natural parity level was found at Ex = 6�58 MeV. Magnetic analysis of the reaction 32S(p, p')32S confirmed the existence of this level and established its excitation energy as 6�581�0�003 MeV. Particle-y-ray coincidence studies showed that this level decays predominantly by y-ray transitions to the 2�23 MeV 2 + state.

Excited states in 212 Po have been populated by α transfer using the 208 Pb (18 O ,14 C ) reaction and studied with the Euroball γ multidetector array. Very enhanced E1 transitions have been revealed by very short lifetimes measured by the DSAM method, found in the [0.1-1.4] ps range. The emitting states, which have non-natural parity values, are the fingerprints of the "α-208 Pb " structure present in 212 Po . They are in the same excitation-energy range as the states issued from shell-model configurations.

Interaction of nucleic acids with light is a scientific question of paramount relevance not only in the understanding of life functioning and evolution, but also in the insurgence of diseases such as malignant skin cancer and in the development of biomarkers and novel light-assisted therapeutic tools. This work shows that the UVA portion of sunlight, not absorbed by canonical DNA nucleobases, can be absorbed by 5-formyluracil (ForU) and 5-formylcytosine (ForC), two ubiquitous oxidative lesions and epigenetic intermediates present in living beings in natural conditions. We measure the strong propensity of these molecules to populate triplet excited states able to transfer the excitation energy to thymine-thymine dyads, inducing the formation of the highly toxic and mutagenic cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs). By using steady-state and transient absorption spectroscopy, NMR, HPLC, and theoretical calculations, we quantify the differences in the triplet-triplet energy transfer mediated by ForU and ForC, revealing that the former is much more efficient in delivering the excitation energy and producing the CPD photoproduct. Although significantly slower than ForU, ForC is also able to harm DNA nucleobases and therefore this process has to be taken into account as a viable photosensitization mechanism. The present findings evidence a rich photochemistry crucial to understand DNA photodamage and of potential use in the development of biomarkers and non-conventional photodynamic therapy agents.

This paper aims to study the nonlinear absorption characteristics of palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) at off-resonant wavelengths. For this purpose, multi-wavelength (500–650 nm) nanosecond Z-scan technique was used. The experimental results indicate that saturated absorption (SA) and the transition from SA to reverse saturated absorption (RSA) can occur, and depends on the excitation wavelength and energy. When the excitation wavelength is constant, with the increase of excitation energy, PdNPs change from SA to RSA. When the excitation energy is constant, with the excitation wavelength approaching surface plasmon resonance (SPR), PdNPs change from SA to RSA. This phenomenon of SA and RSA under multi-wavelength excitation in the off-resonant region provides a supplement for the systematic study of the nonlinear absorption of PdNPs.
