Article Synopsis
  • Hemoglobinopathies are significant global health issues characterized by various clinical and blood-related symptoms, with increased HbA2 levels serving as a key marker for beta-thalassemia and other related disorders.
  • A case study of a 30-year-old pregnant woman revealed she was a carrier of a beta-thalassemia trait, showing specific genetic mutations, while her husband had a different thalassemia mutation, highlighting the complexity of thalassemia genetics.
  • The study emphasizes the need for comprehensive molecular diagnostics in addition to biochemical tests to accurately identify genetic causes of thalassemic traits.

The volume reflection phenomenon was detected while investigating 400 GeV proton interactions with bent silicon crystals in the external beam H8 of the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron. Such a process was observed for a wide interval of crystal orientations relative to the beam axis, and its efficiency exceeds 95%, thereby surpassing any previously observed value. These observations suggest new perspectives for the manipulation of high-energy beams, e.
