Compton Scattering from the Deuteron and Extracted Neutron Polarizabilities
Differential cross sections for Compton scattering from the deuteron were
measured at MAX-lab for incident photon energies of 55 MeV and 66 MeV at
nominal laboratory angles of , , and . Tagged
photons were scattered from liquid deuterium and detected in three NaI
spectrometers. By comparing the data with theoretical calculations in the
framework of a one-boson-exchange potential model, the sum and difference of
the isospin-averaged nucleon polarizabilities, and (in units of fm),
have been determined. By combining the latter with the global-averaged value
for and using the predictions of the Baldin sum rule for
the sum of the nucleon polarizabilities, we have obtained values for the
neutron electric and magnetic polarizabilities of (total) (model) and (total) (model), respectively.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, revtex. The text is substantially revised. The

A measurement of the differential cross section for the two-body photodisintegration of 3He at theta_LAB = 90deg using tagged photons in the energy range 14 -- 31 MeV
The two-body photodisintegration of 3He has been investigated using tagged
photons with energies from 14 -- 31 MeV at MAX-lab in Lund, Sweden. The
two-body breakup channel was unambiguously identified by the (nonsimultaneous)
detection of both protons and deuterons. This approach was made feasible by the
over-determined kinematic situation afforded by the tagged-photon technique.
Proton- and deuteron-energy spectra were measured using four silicon
surface-barrier detector telescopes located at a laboratory angle of 90deg with
respect to the incident photon-beam direction. Average statistical and
systematic uncertainties of 5.7% and 6.6% in the differential cross section
were obtained for 11 photon-energy bins with an average width of 1.2 MeV. The
results are compared to previous experimental data measured at comparable
photon energies as well as to the results of two recent Faddeev calculations
which employ realistic potential models and take into account three-nucleon
forces and final-state interactions. Both the accuracy and precision of the
present data are improved over the previous measurements. The data are in good
agreement with most of the previous results, and favor the inclusion of
three-nucleon forces in the calculations.Comment: 12 pages, 13 figures; further Referee comments addresse
Phytophthora cactorum and Colletotrichum acutatum: Survival and Detection
Phytophthora cactorum and Colletotrichum acutatum are pathogens which are transported with plant material as latent infections and can also survive in soil and plant debris. Since the beginning of 1990’s P. cactorum caused losses in strawberries in Finland and increased culling of silver birch seedlings in forest nurseries because of stem lesions. In this study primers specific for the pathogen were designed, and in a simple PCR they gave an amplification product from pure cultures only when P. cactorum was used as a template. No cross reactions were found with other Phytophthoras in group I or other microbes. Inoculated strawberry plants gave also a clear band in PCR-analyses when the template concentration was diluted. However, amplification was not always reproducible with birch seedlings. With soil samples the best result was gained by a combination of baiting and isolation. C. acutatum is a quarantine pathogen on strawberry in the European Union and thus the infected plants are destroyed in Finland to avoid further spread of the pathogen. The pathogen has earlier been found to survive over one winter in infected plant debris and soil. In the survival test (2003-2005) done in this study, specific amplification products were obtained from test plants inoculated with artificially infected plant residues after 20 months of storage outdoors on soil surface. More positive results were achieved from bait plants grown in soil collected from the field where infected plants had been destroyed two years before, than from samples collected a year after the plant destruction
