Low energy light yield of fast plastic scintillators [PDF]
Compact neutron imagers using double-scatter kinematic reconstruction are being designed for localization and characterization of special nuclear material. These neutron imaging systems rely on scintillators with a rapid prompt temporal response as the detection medium.

Picosecond events in the photochemical cycle of the light-driven chloride-pump halorhodopsin [PDF]
The early events in halorhodopsin after light excitation are studied with picosecond time resolution. Absorption and fluorescence measurements show that the electronically excited state of the incorporated retinal has a lifetime of 5 ps. Within that time

Improved yield of photomultipliers for Cherenkov light [PDF]
The combined effects of using a wavelength shifter and higher voltage for better photoelectron collection is shown to give a gain of 70% in the photo-electron yield for the 11 cm diameter phototube RCA 8854 in a typical Cherenkov counter.
