Parasitic Invasion Of Blastocystis Spp.: Regularities Of Primary Growth Of Blastocystis SP. In Five Types Of Nutrient MEDIA

The work was to determine growth regularities of Blastocystis sp. primary cultures in five types of nutrient media and to identify the most effective media for amoeboid morphoforms detection in short-term cultures of parasites. Established primary growth regularities of three cultures of Blastocystis sp. and their long-term subcultivation in mJones's, mLE, RPMI, IMDMEM and RPMI / IMDMEM media justify the appropriateness of the optimal medium type selection taking into consideration the goal and objectives of the proposed study

A next-generation liquid xenon observatory for dark matter and neutrino physics

The nature of dark matter and properties of neutrinos are among the most pressing issues in contemporary particle physics. The dual-phase xenon time-projection chamber is the leading technology to cover the available parameter space for weakly interacting massive particles, while featuring extensive sensitivity to many alternative dark matter candidates. These detectors can also study neutrinos through neutrinoless double-beta decay and through a variety of astrophysical sources. A next-generation xenon-based detector will therefore be a true multi-purpose observatory to significantly advance particle physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics, solar physics, and cosmology. This review article presents the science cases for such a detector

Projected sensitivity of the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment to the two-neutrino and neutrinoless double β decays of Xe 134

The projected sensitivity of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment to two-neutrino and neutrinoless double β decay of Xe134 is presented. LZ is a 10-tonne xenon time-projection chamber optimized for the detection of dark matter particles and is expected to start operating in 2021 at Sanford Underground Research Facility, USA. Its large mass of natural xenon provides an exceptional opportunity to search for the double β decay of Xe134, for which xenon detectors enriched in Xe136 are less effective. For the two-neutrino decay mode, LZ is predicted to exclude values of the half-life up to 1.7×1024 years at 90% confidence level (CL) and has a three-sigma observation potential of 8.7×1023 years, approaching the predictions of nuclear models. For the neutrinoless decay mode LZ, is projected to exclude values of the half-life up to 7.3×1024 years at 90% CL

Cosmogenic production of {37}^Ar in the context of the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment

We estimate the amount of {37}^Ar produced in natural xenon via cosmic-ray-induced spallation, an inevitable consequence of the transportation and storage of xenon on the Earth’s surface. We then calculate the resulting {37}^Ar concentration in a 10-tonne payload (similar to that of the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment) assuming a representative schedule of xenon purification, storage, and delivery to the underground facility. Using the spallation model by Silberberg and Tsao, the sea-level production rate of {37}^Ar in natural xenon is estimated to be 0.024 atoms/kg/day. Assuming the xenon is successively purified to remove radioactive contaminants in 1-tonne batches at a rate of 1 tonne/month, the average {37}^Ar activity after 10 tons are purified and transported underground is 0.058 - 0.090 μ Bq/kg, depending on the degree of argon removal during above-ground purification. Such cosmogenic {37}^Ar will appear as a noticeable background in the early science data, while decaying with a 35-day half-life. This newly noticed production mechanism of {37}^Ar should be considered when planning for future liquid-xenon-based experiments
