Pulsed-Mode Magnetic Field Measurements with a Single Stretched Wire System.

In synchrotrons, accurate knowledge of the magnetic field generated by bending dipole magnets is essential to ensure beam stability. Measurement campaigns are necessary to characterize the field. The choice of the measurement method for such campaigns is determined by the combination of magnet dimensions and operating conditions and typically require a trade-off between accuracy and versatility.

Measuring the magnetic axis alignment during solenoids working.

A method for monitoring the misalignment of the magnetic axis in solenoids is proposed. This method requires only a few measurements of the magnetic field at fixed positions inside the magnet aperture, and thus overcomes the main drawback of sturdy moving mechanics of other Hall sensor-based methods. Conversely to state-of-the-art axis determination, the proposed method can be applied also during magnet operations, when the axis region and almost the whole remaining magnet aperture are not accessible.

Polyoxomolybdate-Calix[4]arene Hybrid: A Catalyst for Sulfoxidation Reactions with Hydrogen Peroxide.

An easily accessible polyoxomolybdate-calix[4]arene hybrid 1 has been synthesized and applied as a heterogeneous catalyst in the sulfoxidation of thioethers to sulfoxides and to sulfones under strictly stoichiometric amounts of 30% H2O2 in CH3CN as the solvent. This study represents the first promising example of successful employment of calixarenes-polyoxometalate (POM) hybrid materials in the area of catalytic oxidations.
