A generalized approach to x-ray data modeling for high-energy-density plasma experiments.

Accurate understanding of x-ray diagnostics is crucial for both interpreting high-energy-density experiments and testing simulations through quantitative comparisons. X-ray diagnostic models are complex. Past treatments of individual x-ray diagnostics on a case-by-case basis have hindered universal diagnostic understanding.

Real-time measurements of product compounds formed through the reaction of ozone with breath exhaled VOCs.

Human presence can affect indoor air quality because of secondary organic compounds formed upon reactions between gaseous oxidant species, , ozone (O), hydroxyl radicals (OH), and chemical compounds from skin, exhaled breath, hair and clothes. We assess the gas-phase product compounds generated by reactions of gaseous O with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from exhaled human breath by real time analysis using a high-resolution quadrupole-orbitrap mass spectrometer (HRMS) coupled to a secondary electrospray ionization (SESI) source. Based on the product compounds identified we propose a reaction mechanism initiated by O oxidation of the most common breath constituents, isoprene, α-terpinene and ammonia (NH).

The Effect of Human Occupancy on Indoor Air Quality through Real-Time Measurements of Key Pollutants.

The primarily emitted compounds by human presence, e.g., skin and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in breath, can react with typical indoor air oxidants, ozone (O), and hydroxyl radicals (OH), leading to secondary organic compounds.

Development and integration of photonic Doppler velocimetry as a diagnostic for radiation driven experiments on the Z-machine.

Plasma density measurements are key to a wide variety of high-energy-density (HED) and laboratory astrophysics experiments. We present a creative application of photonic Doppler velocimetry (PDV) from which time- and spatially resolved electron density measurements can be made. PDV has been implemented for the first time in close proximity, ∼6 cm, to the high-intensity radiation flux produced by a z-pinch dynamic hohlraum on the Z-machine.

Inorganic Ions Enhance the Number of Product Compounds through Heterogeneous Processing of Gaseous NO on an Aqueous Layer of Acetosyringone.

Methoxyphenols represent important pollutants that can participate in the formation of secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) through chemical reactions with atmospheric oxidants. In this study, we determine the influence of ionic strength, pH, and temperature on the heterogeneous reaction of NO with an aqueous film consisting of acetosyringone (ACS), as a proxy for methoxyphenols. The uptake coefficient of NO (50 ppb) on ACS (1 × 10 mol L) is γ = (9.
