Mass Analyzers: Common Types

659
The quadrupole mass analyzer consists of four cylindrical metal rods arranged in a diamond carrying a DC voltage and a radio-frequency AC voltage. The motion of ions through the quadrupole depends on the field strength, causing only ions of a certain m/z to resonate successfully and strike the detector at a given field strength. Though the transmission rate for these analyzers is high, the exact elemental composition of the sample is not determined because of low resolution; however, they are...

Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Overview

2.3K
Atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) is an analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of a sample by analyzing the light emitted from excited atoms. In AES, atoms in a sample are excited to higher energy levels by thermal energy from high-temperature sources, such as plasma, arcs, or sparks. When these excited atoms return to lower energy states, they emit light at specific wavelengths characteristic of each element. The resulting atomic emission spectrum, which consists of...

Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Principle

711
Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is the most widely used plasma source in atomic emission spectroscopy (AES), also known as Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The ICP source, or torch, consists of three concentric quartz tubes with argon gas flowing through them. A spark from a Tesla coil initiates the ionization of argon, generating a high-temperature plasma.
The ions and electrons produced interact with the fluctuating magnetic field created by a water-cooled...

AES is a powerful analytical technique, especially effective when used with plasma sources, producing abundant spectra in characteristic emission lines. The Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP), in particular, yields superior quantitative analytical data due to its high stability, low noise, low background, and minimal interferences under optimal experimental conditions. However, newer air-operated microwave sources are emerging as promising alternatives that could be more cost-effective than...

Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Instrumentation

540
The instrumentation of atomic emission spectrometry (AES) involves various components, including atomization devices that convert samples into gas-phase atoms and ions. There are two main types of atomization devices: continuous and discrete atomizers.  Continuous atomizers, like plasmas and flames, introduce samples in a constant stream, while discrete atomizers inject individual samples using syringes or autosamplers. The most common discrete atomizer is the electrothermal atomizer.

Atomic Radii and Effective Nuclear Charge

The elements in groups of the periodic table exhibit similar chemical behavior. This similarity occurs because the members of a group have the same number and distribution of electrons in their valence shells.

Area of Science:

  • Particle Physics
  • High-Energy Physics
  • Cosmology

Background:

  • Heavy QCD axions are theoretical particles proposed to solve the strong CP problem.
  • Existing searches have not fully explored the mass range relevant to certain axion models.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To search for heavy QCD axions produced in the NuMI neutrino beam.
  • To constrain the parameter space of heavy QCD axion models.
  • To explore axion masses above the dimuon decay threshold.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing the ArgoNeuT detector and MINOS near detector at Fermilab.
  • Searching for dimuon decay signatures from axion production.
  • Analyzing data from the NuMI neutrino beam target and absorber.

Main Results:

  • New 95% confidence level constraints were established for heavy axions.
  • The search covered the previously unexplored mass range of 0.2-0.9 GeV.
  • Constraints were placed for axion decay constants around tens of TeV.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides significant new limits on heavy QCD axions.
  • The results exclude a portion of the parameter space for models addressing the strong CP problem.
  • This search demonstrates the potential of neutrino detectors for axion searches.
