Helicity-dependent total photoabsorption cross sections on the deuteron have been measured for the first time at ELSA (Bonn) in the photon energy range from 815 to 1825 MeV. Circularly polarized tagged photons impinging on a longitudinally polarized LiD target have been used together with a highly efficient 4pi detector system. The data around 1 GeV are not compatible with predictions from existing multipole analyses. From the measured energy range an experimental contribution to the GDH integral on the neutron of [33.9 +/- 5.5(stat) +/- 4.5(syst)] microb is extracted.

Chemical modifications are widely used in research fields such as quantitative proteomics and interaction analyses. Chemical-modification targets can be roughly divided into four categories, including those that integrate isotope labels for quantification purposes, probe the structures of proteins through covalent labeling or cross-linking, incorporate labels to improve the ionization or dissociation of characteristic peptides in complex mixtures, and affinity-enrich various poorly abundant protein translational modifications (PTMs). A chemical modification reaction needs to be simple and efficient for use in proteomics analysis, and should be performed without any complicated process for preparing the labeling reagent.

We report photodissociation processes and spectral measurements upon photoabsorption of size-selected cationic silver clusters, Ag, stored in an ion trap. The experiment shows that small clusters ( ≲ 15) dissociate upon one-photon absorption, whereas larger ones require multiple photons up to five in the present study. The emergence of multi-photon processes is attributed to collisional cooling in the presence of a buffer helium gas in the trap, which competes with size-dependent dissociation rates.

Article Synopsis
- New organic luminophores called bis(tricyclic) aromatic enes (BAEs), featuring 6-6-6-membered frameworks like acridine and xanthene, display blue-to-green fluorescence in solid states and polymer films with high quantum yields.
- These BAEs are synthesized through a palladium-catalyzed double cross-coupling reaction, producing microcrystals or powders that fluoresce brilliantly.
- Theoretical calculations indicate that their light absorption involves π-π* transitions, with a distinct charge transfer occurring in the 10,10-dioxido-9-thioxanthene variant.

Characterizing the photolysis processes undergone by transient volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the troposphere requires the knowledge of their photoabsorption cross-section-quantities often challenging to determine experimentally, particularly due to the reactivity of these molecules. We present a computational tool coined AtmoSpec, which can predict a quantitative photoabsorption cross-section for volatile organic compounds by using computational photochemistry. The user enters the molecule of interest as a SMILES code and, after selecting a level of theory for the electronic structure (and waiting for the calculations to take place), is presented with a photoabsorption cross-section for the low-energy conformers and an estimate of the photolysis rate coefficient for different standardized actinic fluxes.
