Electromagnetic Structure of the Pion

In this work, we analyze the electromagnetic structure of the pion. We calculate its electromagnetic radius and electromagnetic form factor in low and intermediate momentum range. Such observables are determined by means of a theoretical model that takes into account the constituent quark and antiquark of the pion within the formalism of light-front field theory. In particular, we consider a nonsymmetrical vertex in this model, with which we calculate the electromagnetic form factor of the pion in an optimized way, so that we obtain a value closer to the experimental charge radius of the pion. The theoretical calculations are also compared with the most recent experimental data involving the pion electromagnetic form factor and the results show very good agreement.Comment: Paper with 4 pages, 1 figure, presented in XII HADRON PHYSICS Conference - to appear in AIP Conference Proceeding

A fluorescent-labeled microcystin-LR terbium cryptate

Um novo composto fluorescente de microcistina-LR marcado com criptato de térbio foi obtido pela conjugação inicial da microcistina-LR com aminoetanotiol, seguido pela reação com o grupo éster do criptato de térbio. A formação do produto foi acompanhada por cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência (CLAE) em 238 nm e 310 nm. A presença de microcistina-LR na molécula marcada foi confirmada através de ensaio com enzima ligada a imunoabsorvente (ELISA) e por reação protéica com ácido bicincônico. O espectro de luminescência do criptato e da molécula conjugada também foram confirmados.A new fluorescent labeled compound of microcystin-LR with terbium cryptate was obtained by initial conjugation of microcystins-LR with aminoethanethiol followed by the reaction with the ester group of terbium cryptate. The product formation was followed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) at 238 nm and 310 nm. The presence of microcystin-LR in the labeled molecule was confirmed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay ELISA and by protein reaction with bicinhonic acid. Luminescence spectra of cryptate and the conjugated molecule were carried through as well
