Irregular transcription dynamics for rapid production of high-fidelity transcripts

Posted by klaurent Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Martin Depken | Summary:Both genomic stability and sustenance of day-to-day life rely on efficient and accurate readout of the genetic code. Single-molecule experiments show that transcription and replication are highly stochastic and irregular processes, with the polymerases frequently pausing and even reversing direction. While such behavior is recognized as stemming from a sophisticated […]

Optical Transition Radiation Monitor for the T2K Experiment

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Hartz | Summary:An Optical Transition Radiation monitor has been developed for the proton beam-line of the T2K long base-line neutrino oscillation experiment. The monitor operates in the highly radioactive environment in proximity to the T2K target. It uses optical transition radiation, the light emitted from a thin metallic foil when the charged […]

First Oscillation Results for the T2K Experiment

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Hartz | Summary:T2K is a long baseline high intensity neutrino oscillation experiment employing an off-axis design to search for the as yet unobserved appearance of ν_e neutrinos in a ν_μ beam. The neutrino beam originates at the J-PARC facility in Tokai, Japan and the Super-Kamiokande (SK) detector, located 295 km away, measures […]

Spectroscopy of Broad Line Blazars from 1LAC

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Peter Michelson | Summary:We report on optical spectroscopy of 165 Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars (FSRQs) in the Fermi 1LAC sample, which have helped allow a nearly complete study of this population. Fermi FSRQ show significant evidence for non-thermal emission even in the optical; the degree depends on the gamma-ray hardness. They also have […]
