Time based readout of a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) for Time Of Flight Positron Emission Tomography (TOF-PET)

Thierry Meyer, Matthieu Despeisse, François Eric Powolny

Time of flight (TOF) measurements in positron emission tomography (PET) are very challenging in terms of timing performance, and should achieve ideally less than 100ps FWHM precision. We present a time-based differential technique to read out SiPMs that ha ...

Stimulation-induced increases of astrocytic oxidative metabolism in rats and humans investigated with 1-11C-acetate

Pierre Magistretti, Luc Pellerin

The purpose of this study was to investigate astrocytic oxidative metabolism using 1-(11)C-acetate. 1-(11)C-acetate kinetics were evaluated in the rat somatosensory cortex using a beta-scintillator during different manipulations (test-retest, infraorbital ...

Dynamic PET Reconstruction Using Wavelet Regularization with Adapted Basis Functions

Michaël Unser, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Ildar Khalidov

Tomographic reconstruction from positron emission tomography (PET) data is an ill-posed problem that requires regularization. An attractive approach is to impose an

\ell_{ 1 }

-regularization constraint, which favors sparse solutions in the wavelet dom ...

Searching for dark matter sterile neutrino in laboratory

If the dark matter of the Universe is made of sterile neutrinos with mass in the keV region, it can be searched for with the help of x-ray satellites. We discuss the prospects of laboratory experiments that can be competitive and complementary to space mis ...

Ultrafast Nonadiabatic Dynamics of [FeII(bpy)3]2+ in Solution

Majed Chergui, Frank van Mourik, Andrea Cannizzo, Wojciech Gawelda, Van Thai Pham

The ultrafast relaxation of aq. Fe(II)-tris(bipyridine) upon excitation into the singlet metal-to-ligand charge-transfer band (1MLCT) was characterized by femtosecond fluorescence up-conversion and transient absorption (TA) studies. The fluorescence expt. ...

Search for b→h(*)νν̄ decays at belle

Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Stewart Cole, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Vladislav Balagura

We present a search for the rare decays B→h()νν̄, where h() stands for a light meson. A data sample of 535×106 BB̄ pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider is used. Signal candidates are required to have an accompanying B meson f ...

Laser kinetic spectroscopy of the interfacial charge transfer between membrane cell walls of E. coli and TiO2

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Damien Gumy

This laser kinetics features of the electron decay of TiO2 in the presence of the Escherichia coli (E. coli) phosphatidyl-ethanolcholine (PE) and lipo-polysaccharides (LPS) cell wall components were are reported in this study. The interaction of the biomol ...

Etude par STM de la déposition d'agrégats d'or sur TiO2 et mesure de l'émission électronique secondaire induite par l'impact d'agrégats sur une surface

Pierre Convers

This thesis work focuses on impact and diffusion processes as well as equilibrium positions of a metal deposited on a surface. The metal is deposited in the form of clusters containing n atoms in a controlled way. Gold or silver clusters cations (Au+n and ...

Electron cyclotron emission spectrometry on the Tokamak a Configuration Variable

Ambrogio Fasoli, Timothy Goodman, Stefano Alberti, Patrick Blanchard, Laurie Porte, Igor Klimanov

Electron cyclotron emission (ECE) measurements are an important component of the diagnostic suite on the Tokamak a Configuration Variable (TCV) [F. Hoffman , Plasma Phys. Controlled Fusion 36, B277 (1994)]. A recently installed, 24-channel dual-conversion ...

New access to long-chain polyketides and spiroketals by umpolung of electron rich dienes with sulfur dioxide

Freddy Fonquerne

Natural polyketides show important biological activity. The inherent stereochemical complexity present in this class of molecules has captured the imagination of organic chemists. Their stereocontrolled, asymmetric total synthesis is a permanent and stimul ...
