Studies of timing for a TOF counter at external target facility

Timing and amplitude properties of a prototype scintillator TOF counter at an external target facility are studied with a cosmic rays test. The dependence of signal pulse height and time resolution on the coordinate along the scintillator TOF counter is investigated with two different discriminators. A time resolution of 165 ps can be achieved at the center of the counter with a constant fraction discriminator. Time resolution better than 150 ps is obtained at the center with a leading edge discriminator af...

Timing system of HIRFL-CSR

The national science project HIRFL-CSR has recently been officially accepted. As a cyclotron and synchotron complex, it puts some particularly high demands on the control system. There are hundreds of pieces of equipment that need to be synchronized. An integrated timing control system is built to meet these demands. The output rate and the accuracy of the controller are 16 bit/mu s. The accuracy of the time delay reaches 40 ns. The timing control system is based on a typical event distribution system, which adopts the new event generation and the distribution scheme. The scheme of the tuning control system with innovation points, the architecture and the implemented method are presented in the paper.

Interfacial electronic structure of copper phthalocyanine and copper hexadecafluorophthalocyanine studied by photoemission

Electronic structures of the heterojunction between copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and copper hexadecafluorophthalocyanine (F16CuPc) were studied with ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy. Band bending and an interface dipole were observed at the interface due to the formation of an electron accumulation layer and a depletion layer in F16CuPc and CuPc, respectively. Such an energy level alignment leads to interesting ambipolar characteristics for application of the CuPc/F16CuPc junction in organic field-effect transistors.

The research of cellulose derivatives as chiral stationary phases and high performance liquid chromatography with polarimeter as on-line detector

Three cellulose derivatives were synthesized and used as chiral stationary phases based on silica gel. The effects of adsorbances on the column numbers and stabilities have been investigated. These stationary phases exhibited high chiral recognition for various racemates. At the same time, the on-line curves of polarimeter were obtained by high performance liquid chromatography with polarimeter as on-line detector.
