Simultaneous Measurement of the Half-Life and Spectral Shape of ^{115}In β Decay with an Indium Iodide Cryogenic Calorimeter.

Current bounds on the neutrino Majorana mass are affected by significant uncertainties in the nuclear calculations for neutrinoless double-beta decay. A key issue for a data-driven improvement of the nuclear theory is the actual value of the axial coupling constant g_{A}, which can be investigated through forbidden β decays. We present the first measurement of the 4th-forbidden β decay of ^{115}In with a cryogenic calorimeter based on indium iodide.

A Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy-Based Aptasensor for the Detection of Deoxynivalenol and T-2 Mycotoxins.

The quality of food is one of the emergent points worldwide. Many microorganisms produce toxins that are harmful for human and animal health. In particular, mycotoxins from Fusarium fungi are strictly controlled in cereals.

Structure and luminescence properties of EuF and SrF:Eu nanoparticles after microwave plasma annealing in "methane-hydrogen".

Recently, progress has been made in fabricating diamond-based scintillators with integrated rare-earth luminescent particles. These luminescent particles are integrated into the bulk of diamond during their synthesis by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). However, the growth conditions include a chemically aggressive plasma environment and elevated temperatures, which results in the partial degradation of particles and a decrease in the intensity of their luminescence.
