REVIEW OF PARTICLE PHYSICS Particle Data Group

Olivier Schneider, Varun Sharma, Christophe Bauer, Greig Alan Cowan, Julien Lesgourgues, Riddhiman Sarkar, Vladimir Petrov, Florian Patrick Marie Daniel De la Barre De Nanteuil, Frank Zimmermann, Lorena Gonçalves de Alcântara e Freitas Krikler

The Review summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 2,873 new measurements from 758 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons and the recently discovered Higgs boson, lepton ...

Method for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy measurements using long-lived coherences (LLC)

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Paul Romeo Vasos, Riddhiman Sarkar, Puneet Ahuja

A method for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of a sample comprises preparation of the sample and carrying out an NMR spectroscopy measurement. Preparation includes excitation of long lived coherences (LLC) between the singlet state S0 and the ...

Methods for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements using long-lived states

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Arnaud Comment, Sami Jannin, Paul Romeo Vasos, Riddhiman Sarkar

A method for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements, includes creation of enhanced polarization of nuclei of a first kind within a sample in a magnetic field at cryogenic temperatures and transfer of the polarized ...

Ultrahigh-Resolution Magnetic Resonance in Inhomogeneous Magnetic Fields: Two-Dimensional Long-Lived-Coherence Correlation Spectroscopy

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Aurélien Bornet, Sami Jannin, Riddhiman Sarkar, Srinivas Chinthalapalli

A half-century quest for improving resolution in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has enabled the study of molecular structures, biological interactions, and fine details of anatomy. This progress largely relied on the ...

Long-Lived States to Monitor Protein Unfolding by Proton NMR

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Aurélien Bornet, Paul Romeo Vasos, Riddhiman Sarkar, Puneet Ahuja

The relaxation of long-lived states (LLS) corresponds to the slow return to statistical thermal equilibrium between symmetric and antisymmetric proton spin states. This process is remarkably sensitive to the presence of external spins and can be used to ob ...

Hyperpolarizing Gases via Dynamic Nuclear Polarization and Sublimation

Rolf Gruetter, Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Pascal Miéville, Arnaud Comment, Jean-Noël Hyacinthe, Sami Jannin, Paul Romeo Vasos, Riddhiman Sarkar, Puneet Ahuja

A high throughput method was designed to produce hyperpolarized gases by combining lowtemperature dynamic nuclear polarization with a sublimation procedure. It is illustrated by applications to 129Xe nuclear magnetic resonance in xenon gas, leading to a si ...

Scavenging Free Radicals To Preserve Enhancement and Extend Relaxation Times in NMR using Dynamic Nuclear Polarization

Rolf Gruetter, Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Sandrine Gerber, Mor-Miri Mishkovsky, Pascal Miéville, Arnaud Comment, Sami Jannin, Paul Romeo Vasos, Riddhiman Sarkar, Puneet Ahuja

Vitamin C for longer lifetimes: N-oxide radicals that are widely used for dynamic nuclear polarization can be reduced by scavengers such as sodium ascorbate (vitamin C) during the dissolution process, thus diminishing losses of polarization during the tran ...

Diffusion Coefficients of Biomolecules Using Long-Lived Spin States

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Paul Romeo Vasos, Riddhiman Sarkar, Puneet Ahuja

We report the first observation of long-lived states (LLS) having lifetimes TLLS that exceed the corresponding spin−lattice relaxation times T1 by more than a factor 6 in a protein. Slow diffusion coefficients characteristic of large biomolecules can be de ...

Long lived states in high field NMR spectroscopy for the study of very slow dynamic processes in solution state

Riddhiman Sarkar

In solution-state NMR spectroscopy, dynamic processes can be probed provided the nuclear relaxation rate constant does not exceed the rate constant of the process. Phenomena occurring on a time scale longer than the spin-lattice relaxation time constant, T ...

Long-lived states to sustain hyperpolarized magnetization

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Arnaud Comment, Sami Jannin, Paul Romeo Vasos, Riddhiman Sarkar, Puneet Ahuja

Major breakthroughs have recently been reported that can help overcome two inherent drawbacks of NMR: the lack of sensitivity and the limited memory of longitudinal magnetization. Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) couples nuclear spins to the large reserv ...
