Are Protein Cavities and Pockets Commonly Used by Redox Active Signalling Molecules?
It has been well known for a long time that inert gases, such as xenon (Xe), have significant biological effects. As these atoms are extremely unlikely to partake in direct chemical reactions with biomolecules such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids,

Ionization waves in nanosecond pulsed atmospheric pressure plasma jets in argon
Typical ionization waves (IWs) are observed during the propagation of nanosecond pulsed atmospheric pressure plasma jets (APPJs) with argon flow, combining both the measurement of the axial electric field (Ez) and the temporal resolved optical imaging ...

Water Modification by Cold Plasma Jet with Respect to Physical and Chemical Properties
This work is devoted to unbuffered and buffered water treatment by means of atmospheric pressure cold plasma of electrical discharges. The interest in the activation of these two liquids by plasma-induced, gaseous-phase chemistry ranges over a wide area ...

Simulation of argon response and light detection in the DarkSide-50 dual phase TPC [PDF]
A Geant4-based Monte Carlo package named G4DS has been developed to simulate the response of DarkSide-50, an experiment operating since 2013 at LNGS, designed to detect WIMP interactions in liquid argon.

Certain noble gases, though inert, exhibit remarkable biological properties. Notably, xenon and argon provide neuroprotection in animal models of central nervous system injury. In the previous issue of Critical Care, Loetscher and colleagues provided further evidence that argon may have therapeutic properties for neuronal toxicity by demonstrating ...

Optical Links for ATLAS Liquid Argon Calorimeter Front-end Electronics Readout [PDF]
We present the optical data links for the ATLAS liquid argon calorimeter. The current status of the vertical cavity surface emitting laser failures, the up-to-date results in searching for the failure cause, experiences gained in the searching process, possible backup plans for the optical transmitters and the lessons learned are also discussed.

Impact of xenon doping in the scintillation light in a large liquid-argon TPC [PDF]
The use of xenon-doped liquid argon is a promising alternative for large pure liquid-argon TPCs. Not only xenon-doped liquid argon enhances the light production, mitigating the possible suppression due to impurities, but also it increases the wavelength of the scintillation light, enlarging the effective Rayleigh scattering length and improving the ...

Attenuation of vacuum ultraviolet light in liquid argon [PDF]
The transmission of liquid argon has been measured, wavelength resolved, for a wavelength interval from 118 to 250 nm. The wavelength dependent attenuation length is presented for pure argon. It is shown that no universal wavelength independent attenuation length can be assigned to liquid argon for its own fluorescence light due to the interplay ...
