Significant discrepancies between theory and experiment have previously been noted for nucleon emission via electromagnetic processes in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions. The present work investigates the hypothesis that these discrepancies have arisen due to uncertainties about how to deduce the experimental electromagnetic cross section from the total measured cross section. An optical-model calculation of single neutron removal is added to electromagnetic cross sections and compared to the total experimental cross sections. Good agreement is found thereby resolving some of the earlier noted discrepancies. A detailed comparison to the recent work of Benesh, Cook, and Vary is made for both the impact parameter and the nuclear cross section. Good agreement is obtained giving an independent confirmation of the parametrized formulas developed by those authors.

Large Stokes shift red fluorescent proteins (LSS-RFPs) are of growing interest for multicolor bioimaging applications. However, their photochemical mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we employed the QM(XDW-CASPT2//CASSCF)/MM method to investigate the excited-state proton transfer and photoisomerization processes of the LSS-RFP mKeima starting from its cis neutral isomer.

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) photosensitizers are promising for photodynamic therapy, yet their short excitation wavelengths present a limitation. In this study, we develop a series of organic photosensitizers with dual modulation capabilities based on excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) and AIE. Notably, we synthesize near-infrared (NIR)-excited photosensitive nanoparticles through a coassembly strategy utilizing upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and amphiphilic polymers.

A survey meter was developed to reliably detect and visualize surface contamination of suits and objects by α-nuclides in high γ/n-rays background radiation environment. The survey meter features a semi-opaque ZnS:Ag scintillator mounted directly onto a multi-anode photomultiplier tube (MA-PMT) and amplification circuits, ensuring output gain equalization for all channels. α-ray events induce localized light emission in thin-film scintillators.

Article Synopsis
- Push-pull fluorophores with donor-π-acceptor structures are useful for two-photon microscopy, enhancing brightness through charge-delocalization in excited states.
- The study focused on the fluorescent probe chromis-1, revealing that its pH-dependent emission is influenced by intramolecular proton transfer rather than direct deprotonation of water.
- A modification of the pyridine nitrogen's position in the fluorophore significantly reduced its excited-state basicity, emphasizing the need for careful design in fluorescent probes to limit pH-induced variations in response.

To develop highly effective molecular tools for intravital imaging of hypochlorous acid (HOCl), in this study, we initially designed two-photon hybrid fluorophores, and , by conjugating the classical dye 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole with the two-photon hydroxylphenyl-butadienylpyridinium fluorophore. The designed fluorophores exhibit a synergistic interaction between excited-state intramolecular proton transfer and intramolecular charge transfer mechanisms, enabling near-infrared (NIR) emission and significant Stokes shifts. Subsequently, using these fluorophores, we developed two HOCl fluorescent probes, and , by further incorporating ,-dimethylthiocarbamate as a specific recognition group for HOCl.
