Incorporation Of Oxygen In Crystalline Zeolitic Chromosilicates: Optical Identification Of Chromium(vi) By Photoacoustic Spectroscopy
Incorporation of oxygen to crystalline zeolitic chromosilicates, with oxidation of anchored CrIII to non-interacting CrVI species, has been confirmed by photoacoustic spectroscopy; the dichromate anion being extracted from the chromosilicate with water and identified by precipitation of AgCrO4 and oxidation to CrO5.1492292

Thermal, structural and optical properties of {CdS}-Na(86)X composites
Thermal, structural and optical properties of CdS superclusters grown in zeolite Na(86)X are reported. The interest in this work arose in the need to study CdS prepared in the zeolite host, at high concentrations (>19%), in order to observe porosyte behaviour and CdS aggregate properties. The semiconductor-zeolite composite was studied using X-ray diffraction analysis and photoacoustic technique (PAS). The properties of semiconductor CdS embedded in a zeolite matrix were analysed as a function of the CdS concentration by monitoring Cd concentration (atom%) by chemical analysis. The results show that as the concentration of CdS increases, the thermal diffusivity, capacity, conductivity and the band-gap increase up to a point where the zeolite lattice collapses. From this point on, all these thermal properties diminish and the band-gap is the same as for bulk CdS.92142651265
Determination of the muon charge sign with the dipolar spectrometers of the OPERA experiment
The OPERA long-baseline neutrino-oscillation experiment has observed the
direct appearance of in the CNGS beam. Two large muon
magnetic spectrometers are used to identify muons produced in the
leptonic decay and in interactions by measuring their charge and
momentum. Besides the kinematic analysis of the decays, background
resulting from the decay of charmed particles produced in
interactions is reduced by efficiently identifying the muon track. A new method
for the charge sign determination has been applied, via a weighted angular
matching of the straight track-segments reconstructed in the different parts of
the dipole magnets. Results obtained for Monte Carlo and real data are
presented. Comparison with a method where no matching is used shows a
significant reduction of up to 40\% of the fraction of wrongly determined
charges.Comment: 10 pages. Improvements in the tex
Procedure for short-lived particle detection in the OPERA experiment and its application to charm decays
The OPERA experiment, designed to perform the first observation of oscillations in appearance mode through the detection of
the leptons produced in charged current interactions, has
collected data from 2008 to 2012. In the present paper, the procedure developed
to detect particle decays, occurring over distances of the order of 1 mm
from the neutrino interaction point, is described in detail. The results of its
application to the search for charmed hadrons are then presented as a
validation of the methods for appearance detection
