We report a precision measurement of the deuteron tensor analyzing powers T(20) and T(21) at the MIT-Bates Linear Accelerator Center. Data were collected simultaneously over a momentum transfer range Q=2.15-4.50 fm(-1) with the Bates Large Acceptance Spectrometer Toroid using a highly polarized deuterium internal gas target. The data are in excellent agreement with calculations in a framework of effective field theory. The deuteron charge monopole and quadrupole form factors G(C) and G(Q) were separated with improved precision, and the location of the first node of G(C) was confirmed at Q=4.19±0.05 fm(-1). The new data provide a strong constraint on theoretical models in a momentum transfer range covering the minimum of T(20) and the first node of G(C).

Donafenib is an improved version of sorafenib in which deuterium is substituted into the drug's chemical structure, enhancing its stability and antitumor activity. Donafenib exhibits enhanced antitumor activity and better tolerance than sorafenib in preclinical and clinical studies. However, the specific mechanism of its effect on hepatocellular carcinoma has not been reported.

Proton- and deuteron-induced cross sections on natural platinum.

Appl Radiat Isot

December 2024

Nuclear & Chemical Sciences Division, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, United States.

Light-ion irradiations on natural platinum were performed to measure gold-radioisotope cross sections and isotope ratios, as well as to produce a carrier-free final product. Experimental cross sections are compared to TENDL-2023. There is good agreement with this work's results and other published literature values.

Neurofilament Light Chain under the Lens of Structural Mass Spectrometry.

ACS Chem Neurosci

January 2025

National Measurement Laboratory, LGC, Queens Road, TW11 0LY Teddington, U.K.

Neurofilament light chain (NfL) is an early nonspecific biomarker in neurodegenerative diseases and traumatic brain injury, indicating axonal damage. This work describes the detailed structural characterization of a selected primary calibrator with the potential to be used in future reference measurement procedure (RMP) development for the accurate quantification of NfL. As a part of the described workflow, the sequence, higher-order structure as well as solvent accessibility, and hydrogen-bonding profile were assessed under three different conditions in KPBS, artificial cerebrospinal fluid, and artificial cerebrospinal fluid in the presence of human serum albumin.

This paper presents progress made toward the overarching goal to adapt single-photon-counting microcalorimeters to magnetic fusion energy research and demonstrate the value of such measurements for fusion. Microcalorimeter spectrometers combine the best characteristics of x-ray instrumentation currently available on fusion devices: high spectral resolution similar to an x-ray crystal spectrometer and broad spectral coverage sufficient to measure impurity species from Be to W. As a proof-of-principle experiment, a NASA-built x-ray microcalorimeter spectrometer has been installed on the Madison Symmetric Torus (MST) at the Wisconsin Plasma Physics Laboratory.
