The Revised Washington Criminal Code: A Defense Perspective

Those who work with Washington\u27s criminal law generally concede that it is in need of substantial overhaul. Consequently, members of the bench, law enforcement agencies, the state legislature, the public, prosecutors and defense attorneys undertook to draft a new criminal code for Washington. Input came from varied sources—from law enforcement personnel to a former inmate of the Washington prison system. The Proposed Code reflects the input of each contributor; it cannot be labelled the Code of any single group. This article attempts to analyze those sections of the Proposed Code that are important from a defense attorney\u27s standpoint. No attempt has been made to cover all of the crucial points raised in the Proposed Code

Direct detection of Rydberg–Rydberg millimeter-wave transitions in a buffer gas cooled molecular beam

Millimeter-wave transitions between molecular Rydberg states (n ∼ 35) of barium monofluoride are directly detected via Free Induction Decay (FID). Two powerful technologies are used in combination: Chirped-Pulse millimeter-Wave (CPmmW) spectroscopy and a buffer gas cooled molecular beam photoablation source. Hundreds of Rydberg–Rydberg transitions are recorded in 1 h with >10:1 signal:noise ratio and ∼150 kHz resolution. This high resolution, high spectral velocity experiment promises new strategies for rapid measurements of structural and dynamical information, such as the electric structure (multipole moments and polarizabilities) of the molecular ion-core and the strengths and mechanisms of resonances between Rydberg electron and ion-core motions. Direct measurements of Rydberg–Rydberg transitions with kilo-Debye dipole moments support efficient and definitive spectral analysis techniques, such as the Stark demolition and polarization diagnostics, which enable semi-automatic assignments of core-nonpenetrating Rydberg states. In addition, extremely strong radiation-mediated collective effects (superradiance) in a dense Rydberg gas of barium atoms are observed.National Science Foundation (U.S.) (Grant No. CHE-1361865)United States.
