Analysis by many-level R-matrix theory of the d-wave "'-'" scattering phase shift suggests the existence of broad 2+ excited states of 8Be, but their properties depend sensitively on the assumed channel radius a2. A simultaneous fit to the 9Be(p, d)8Be deuteron spectrum near the 2, 9 MeV peak requires a2 "'" 7�1 fm, while a simultaneous fit to the ",-particle spectra following 8Li and 8B p-decays requires a2 "'" 6� 7 fm. For the best overall fit with a2 = 6�75 fm, the first 2+ excited state is at 2� 84 MeV excitation energy with a width at half maximum of 1�30 MeV. It is shown that data from other reactions which appeared to give much larger widths for this level can be fitted using the same R-matrix parameters. A second 2+ excited state is obtained at about 9 MeV with a width of about 10 MeV. Properties of the narrow 2+ states at 16�6 and 16�9 MeV are also discussed.

The light even nuclei with A ;;;. 10 have 0+ excited states near 6 MeV, probably with large (X-particle reduced widths. A similar state in BBe would be very broad. Evidence for 0+ excited states in BBe has been obtained here using many-level R-matrix fits to known (X-(X scattering data, but the excitation energies depend strongly on the assumed channel radius. For a simultaneous fit to the 9Be(p, d)BBe cross section, assuming these higher states are not strongly populated, the channel radius is restricted to (7~~) fm, implying a 0+ excited state at (6=f3) MeV of width (9=f4) MeV.

Reduced widths for nucleon and deuteron emission from the positive parity (T = 1/2) states in the region of 16 to 20 MeV excitation in the mass-5 system have been calculated using the R-matrix theory. Shell model wave functions were employed to describe the relevant states. Excellent agreement is obtained with various aspects of the experimental results on the well-established 3/2+ resonance at 16.6 MeV. Values for the proton and deuteron partial widths and the γd2/γp2 ratio for the 1/2+ resonance at 18 MeV and 5/2+ resonance at 20 MeV are presented. The calculated proton partial width for the 5/2+ resonance is in the range of values estimated from recent analysis of the p–4He phase-shift data.

Many-level R-matrix fits are made to the ()(-()( scattering d-wave phase shift and to ()(-spectra from BLi and BB ,8-decay measured by Wilkinson and Alburger (1971). With the requirement that the parameter values are the same in the fits to the phase shift and the ()(-spectra data, the best overall fits are obtained for a channel radius of about 6�5 fm, implying a broad 2+ intruder state of BBe at about 9 MeV. There is satisfactory agreement between the Gamow-Teller matrix elements extracted from the fits and shell model values.

<p></p><p> Damage to RNA from ultraviolet radiation induce chemical modifications to the nucleobases. Unraveling the excited states involved in these reactions is essential, but investigations aimed at understanding the electronic-energy relaxation pathways of the RNA nucleotide uridine 5’-monophosphate (UMP) have not received enough attention. In this Letter, the excited-state dynamics of UMP is investigated in aqueous solution. Excitation at 267 nm results in a trifurcation event that leads to the simultaneous population of the vibrationally-excited ground state, a longlived <sup>1</sup>n<sub>O</sub>π* state, and a receiver triplet state within 200 fs. The receiver state internally convert to the long-lived <sup>3</sup>ππ* state in an ultrafast time scale. The results elucidate the electronic relaxation pathways and clarify earlier transient absorption experiments performed for uracil derivatives in solution. This mechanistic information is important because long-lived nπ* and ππ* excited states of both singlet and triplet multiplicities are thought to lead to the formation of harmful photoproducts.</p><p></p>

<p>A strategy to control the efficiency of a photocleavage reaction based on changing the nature of the excited state is presented. A novel class of photoactive compounds has been synthesized by combining the classical o-nitrobenzyl scaffold with an environmentally sensitive dye, 4-amino-nitrobenzothiazole. Irradiation in a polar solvent lead to an excited state that is inoperative for photochemistry whereas excitation in a nonpolar solvent lead to an excited state that is photochemically active. A photochemical degradation appears to be the preferred process in contrast to the intended photocleavage process.</p>

<div>The ability to locate minima on electronic excited states (ESs) potential energy surfaces (PESs) both in the case of bright and dark states is crucial for a full understanding of photochemical reactions. This task has become a standard practice for small- to medium-sized organic chromophores thanks to the constant developments in the field of computational photochemistry. However, this remains a very challenging effort when it comes to the optimization of ESs of transition metal complexes (TMCs), not only due to the presence of several electronic excited states close in energy, but also due to the complex nature of the excited states involved. In this article, we present a simple yet powerful method to follow an excited state of interest during a structural optimization in the case of TMC, based on the use of a compact hole-particle representation of the electronic transition, namely the natural transition orbitals (NTOs). State tracking using NTOs is unambiguously accomplished by computing the mono-electronic wavefunction overlap between consecutive steps of the optimization. Here, we demonstrate that this simple but robust procedure works not only in the case of the cytosine but also in the case of the ES optimization of a ruthenium-nitrosyl complex which is very problematic with standard approaches.</div>
