Development of microlens-enhanced SiPMs for a radiation-hard scintillating fibre tracker at LHCb

he LHCb experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is currently taking data with a newly developed Scintillating Fibre (SciFi) Tracker read out with multichannel silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs). The innermost fibre modules, exposed to the highest ra ...

Satellite-Based Personal UV Dose Estimation

Athanasios Nenes, David Vernez

Epidemiology and public health research relating to solar ultraviolet (UV) exposure usually relies on dosimetry to measure UV doses received by individuals. However, measurement errors affect each dosimetry measurement by unknown amounts, complicating the ...

Micropollutants as internal probe compounds to assess UV fluence and hydroxyl radical exposure in UV/H 2 O 2 treatment

Urs von Gunten, Silvio Canonica, Fabienne Eugster, Robin Wünsch, Thomas Wintgens

Organic micropollutants (MPs) are increasingly detected in water resources, which can be a concern for human health and the aquatic environment. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation based advanced oxidation processes (AOP) such as low-pressure mercury vapor arc lamp ...

Employing bacterial mutations for the elucidation of photo-Fenton disinfection: Focus on the intracellular and extracellular inactivation mechanisms induced by UVA and H2O2

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis, Ling Feng, Da Wang

The bacterial inactivation mechanisms by solar light and the photo-Fenton process is still a matter of debate. In this study, we bring evidence towards the elucidation of the mechanisms that govern photo-Fenton disinfection at near-neutral pH. With the use ...

Visible light plays a significant role during bacterial inactivation by the photo-fenton process, even at sub-critical light intensities

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis, Rosa Mosteo, David Muzard, Angelica Varon Lopez

The aim of this research is to clarify the contribution of sunlight wavelengths, irradiance and Fe2+/H2O2 during bacterial disinfection by the photo-Fenton process in clear surface waters. We considered different solar spectrum distributions (visible, UVA- ...

New Evidence for Ag-Sputtered Materials Inactivating Bacteria by Surface Contact without the Release of Ag Ions: End of a Long Controversy?

Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi

The study provides new evidence for Ag-coated polyester (PES) mediating Escherichia colt inactivation by way of genetically engineered E. coli (without porins, from now denoted porinless bacteria). This allows the quantification of the bactericidal kinetic ...

Sunlight-mediated inactivation of health-relevant microorganisms in water: A review of mechanisms and modeling approaches

Tamar Kohn, Yang Liu, Krista Rule Wigginton

Health-relevant microorganisms present in natural surface waters and engineered treatment systems that are exposed to sunlight can be inactivated by a complex set of interacting mechanisms. The net impact of sunlight depends on the solar spectral irradianc ...

Ozone and chlorine reactions with dissolved organic matter - Assessment of oxidant-reactive moieties by optical measurements and the electron donating capacities

Urs von Gunten

Oxidation processes are impacted by the type, concentration and reactivity of the dissolved organic matter (DOM). In this study, the reactions between various types of DOM (Suwannee River fulvic acid (SRFA), Nordic Reservoir NOM (NNOM) and Pony Lake fulvic ...

Ultrafast dynamics of the photo-excited hemes b and c(n) in the cytochrome b(6)f complex

Adrien Alexis Paul Chauvet, Rachna Agarwal

The dynamics of hemes b and c(n) within the cytochrome b(6)f complex are investigated by means of ultrafast broad-band transient absorption spectroscopy. On the one hand, the data reveal that, subsequent to visible light excitation, part of the b hemes und ...
