Information on antiprotonic atoms and the nuclear periphery from the PS209 experiment
In the PS209 experiments at CERN two kinds of measurements were performed:
the in-beam measurement of X-rays from antiprotonic atoms and the
radiochemical, off-line determination of the yield of annihilation products
with mass number A_t -1 (less by 1 than the target mass). Both methods give
observables which allows to study the peripheral matter density composition and
distribution.Comment: LaTeX (espcrc1 style), 6 pages, 3 EPS figures, 1 table, Proceedings

Neutron density distributions from antiprotonic 208Pb and 209Bi atoms
The X-ray cascade from antiprotonic atoms was studied for 208Pb and 209Bi.
Widths and shifts of the levels due to the strong interaction were determined.
Using modern antiproton-nucleus optical potentials the neutron densities in the
nuclear periphery were deduced. Assuming two parameter Fermi distributions
(2pF) describing the proton and neutron densities the neutron rms radii were
deduced for both nuclei. The difference of neutron and proton rms radii /\r_np
equal to 0.16 +-(0.02)_{stat} +- (0.04)_{syst} fm for 208Pb and 0.14 +-
(0.04)_{stat} +- (0.04)_{syst} fm for 209Bi were determined and the assigned
systematic errors are discussed. The /\r_np values and the deduced shapes of
the neutron distributions are compared with mean field model calculations.Comment: 22 pages, 8 tables, 15 figure
Strong interaction and E2 effect in even- A antiprotonic Te atoms
The x-ray cascade from antiprotonic atoms was studied for Te-122, Te-124, Te-126, Te-128, and Te-130. Widths and shifts due to the strong interaction were deduced for several levels. The E2 nuclear resonance effect was observed in all investigated nuclei. In Te-130 the E2 resonance allowed to determine level widths and shifts of the LS-split deeply bound (n,l)=(6,5) state, otherwise unobservable. The measured level widths and shifts, corrected for the E2-resonance effect, were used to investigate the nucleon density in the nuclear periphery. The deduced neutron distributions are compared with results of the previously introduced radiochemical method and with Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov model calculations
Nucleon density in the nuclear periphery determined with antiprotonic x rays: Calcium isotopes
Nucleon density in the nuclear periphery determined with antiprotonic x-rays: cadmium and tin isotopes
The x-ray cascade from antiprotonic atoms was studied for 106Cd, 116Cd,
112Sn, 116Sn, 120Sn, and 124Sn. Widths and shifts of the levels due to strong
interaction were deduced. Isotopic effects in the Cd and Sn isotopes are
clearly seen. The results are used to investigate the nucleon density in the
nuclear periphery. The deduced neutron distributions are compared with the
results of the previously introduced radiochemical method and with HFB
calculations

Paracellular Absorption: A Bat Breaks the Mammal Paradigm
Bats tend to have less intestinal tissue than comparably sized nonflying mammals. The corresponding reduction in intestinal volume and hence mass of digesta carried is advantageous because the costs of flight increase with load carried and because take-off and maneuverability are diminished at heavier masses. Water soluble compounds, such as glucose and amino acids, are absorbed in the small intestine mainly via two pathways, the transporter-mediated transcellular and the passive, paracellular pathways. Using the microchiropteran bat Artibeus literatus (mean mass 80.6±3.7 g), we tested the predictions that absorption of water-soluble compounds that are not actively transported would be extensive as a compensatory mechanism for relatively less intestinal tissue, and would decline with increasing molecular mass in accord with sieve-like paracellular absorption. Using a standard pharmacokinetic technique, we fed, or injected intraperitonealy the metabolically inert carbohydrates L-rhamnose (molecular mass = 164 Da) and cellobiose (molecular mass = 342 Da) which are absorbed only by paracellular transport, and 3-O-methyl-D-glucose (3OMD-glucose) which is absorbed via both mediated (active) and paracellular transport. As predicted, the bioavailability of paracellular probes declined with increasing molecular mass (rhamnose, 90±11%; cellobiose, 10±3%, n = 8) and was significantly higher in bats than has been reported for laboratory rats and other mammals. In addition, absorption of 3OMD-glucose was high (96±11%). We estimated that the bats rely on passive, paracellular absorption for more than 70% of their total glucose absorption, much more than in non-flying mammals. Although possibly compensating for less intestinal tissue, a high intestinal permeability that permits passive absorption might be less selective than a carrier-mediated system for nutrient absorption and might permit toxins to be absorbed from plant and animal material in the intestinal lumen
