2020 ESC Guidelines on acute coronary syndrome without ST-segment elevation: recommendations and critical appraisal from the Dutch ACS and Interventional Cardiology working groups

Recently, the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) has updated its guidelines for the management of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) without ST-segment elevation. The current consensus document of the Dutch ACS working group and the Working Group of Interventional Cardiology of the Netherlands Society of Cardiology aims to put the 2020 ESC Guidelines into the Dutch perspective and to provide practical recommendations for Dutch cardiologists, focusing on antiplatelet therapy, risk assessment and criteria for invasive strategy.Cardiolog

Neutron decay of deep hole states and isobaric analog states in 115^{115}Sn populated by the (3^3He,alpha) reaction at 102 MeV

Neutron decay of excited hole states and isobaric analog states (IAS) populated by the Sn-116(He-3,alpha) reaction at an energy of 102 MeV has been investigated. The alpha -particles were analysed in a magnetic spectrograph positioned at 1.4 degrees and detected with a multiwire drift chamber. Excitation energies in Sn-115 up to 23 MeV were studied. An array of neutron detectors was positioned around the target at angles ranging from 68 degrees to 209 degrees. The neutron data were analysed in terms of decay into final states, using statistical model calculations as a tool to extract lower limits of nonstatistical decay. Nonstatistical decay was observed from states up to an excitation energy of about 18 MeV. The neutron emission of the IAS is compatible with 100% statistical decay. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
