The Telescope Array experiment: Status and Prospects

The Telescope Array is a detector of extensive air shower produced by ultra High energy cosmic ray. This detector is located on Utah, USA. The construction have been completed and the full operation has been running from March 2008. In this talk, the status of observation and our prospects are described. © 2010 American Institute of Physics.0SCOPUS: cp.pSCOPUS: cp.pinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Copper-catalyzed Enantioselective Allylic Substitution

The efficiency of organocopper reagents in the displacement of allylic leaving groups has been well established during the past five decades. In sharp contrast, catalytic asymmetric version of this reaction using a chiral catalyst is a more recent field of research. This chapter presents an overview of tremendous studies towards the development of an “ideally” active catalyst achieving high regio- and enantioselectivities. The comparative reactivity and generality of peptides, phosphorus, as well as N-heterocyclic carbenes based catalysts are discussed in the first part. Then, relevant scope and synthetic applications are reviewed. Noteworthily, this chapter is restricted to C–C bond formation processes, excluding C–B and C–Si bond formations

The Status of the Telescope Array experiment

The purpose of The Telescope Array experiment is to identify origin of the ultra high energy cosmic rays. The Telescope Array is a hybrid detector consists of a surface detector array and air fluorescence detectors. This hybrid detector is observing extensive air showers to measure the energy spectrum, anisotropy and composition of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays. The detector construction has been completed in March 2008, and the hybrid observation with the full configuration has been running since that time. In this talk, the status of observation and our prospects are described.0SCOPUS: cp.jSCOPUS: cp.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
