AI Article Synopsis

  • A precision measurement was conducted on differential cross sections and photon asymmetry for the γp→π0p reaction using advanced detection methods at the Mainz Microtron.
  • The experiment utilized a tagged photon beam with a nearly 4π detector setup including the Crystal Ball/TAPS system and a liquid hydrogen target.
  • The resulting data enabled a detailed analysis of the energy dependence of specific amplitude components, providing a rigorous test of chiral perturbation theory in its relevant energy range.

Article Abstract

A precision measurement of the differential cross sections dσ/dΩ and the linearly polarized photon asymmetry Σ≡(dσ⊥-dσ∥)/(dσ⊥+dσ∥) for the γp→π0p reaction in the near-threshold region has been performed with a tagged photon beam and almost 4π detector at the Mainz Microtron. The Glasgow-Mainz photon tagging facility along with the Crystal Ball/TAPS multiphoton detector system and a cryogenic liquid hydrogen target were used. These data allowed for a precise determination of the energy dependence of the real parts of the S- and all three P-wave amplitudes for the first time and provide the most stringent test to date of the predictions of chiral perturbation theory and its energy region of agreement with experiment.

Backbone resonance assignments of PhoCl, a photocleavable protein.

PhoCl is a photocleavable protein engineered from a green-to-red photoconvertible fluorescent protein by circular permutation, and has been used in various optogenetic applications including precise control of protein localization and activity in cells. Upon violet light illumination, PhoCl undergoes a β-elimination reaction to be cleaved at the chromophore, resulting in spontaneous dissociation into a large empty barrel and a small C-terminal peptide. However, the structural determinants and the mechanism of the PhoCl photocleavage remain elusive, hindering the further development of more robust photocleavable optogenetic tools.
