donor selection for adults and pediatrics

It is known that multiple factors impact on transplantation outcome; the heaviest ones are disease-related (disease refractoriness, phase, clonal abnormalities, etc. in malignancies and disease type and associated rejection risk in non-malignant diseases) and patient-related (age, comorbidities, infectious diseases/colonization, etc.). Moreover, donor-related issues and stem cell source may influence the extent of disease control and transplant-related mortality

Attosecond transient absorption explores coupling mechanisms of autoionizing states

Attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy of highly excited states allows investigating the dynamics of both the decay and the light induced coupling between excited states. We present a rigorous quantum mechanical treatment that provides a generalized discussion of the on- and off-resonant decay dynamics, of resonant and non-resonant couplings to either discrete or continua states and the temporal evolution of the quantum beating of the excited wavepackets. The comparison of the model to experimental results obtained in xenon proves its general applicability

High-spectral-resolution attosecond absorption spectroscopy of autoionization in xenon

The decay of highly excited states of xenon after absorption of extreme ultraviolet light is directly tracked via attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy using a time-delayed near-infrared perturbing pulse. The lifetimes of the autoionizing 5s5p66p and 5s5p67p channels are determined to be (21.9 ± 1.3) fs and (48.4 ± 5.0) fs, respectively. The observed values support lifetime estimates obtained by traditional linewidth measurements. The experiment additionally obtains the temporal evolution of the decay as a function of energy detuning from the resonance center, and a quantum mechanical formalism is introduced that correctly accounts for the observed energy dependence. © 2014 American Physical Society
