We review the design, simulation, and tests, of a detection system for measuring the energy distribution of daughter nuclei recoiling from the beta-decay of laser trapped neon isotopes. This distribution is sensitive to several new physics effects in the weak sector. Our 'decay microscope' relies on imaging the velocity distribution of high energy recoil ions in coincidence with electrons shaken-off in the decay. We demonstrate by way of Monte-Carlo simulation, that the nuclear microscope increases the statistical sensitivity of kinematic measurements to the underlying energy distribution, and limits the main systematic bias caused by discrepancy in the trap position along the detection axis.
091ChemInform Abstract Anhydrous hypophosphorous acid reduces triphenylcarbinol (I) to give triphenylmethane (II). Diphenylmethane (IV) is obtained in a lower yield from the analogous reduction of diphenylcarbinol (III). Treatment of 1-chloro-1-methylcyclohexane (V) with hypophosphorous acid in the presence of aluminum trichloride forms methylcyclohexane (VI).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
