BC.002 Y.S. Badyal, Using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) to monitor the evolution of self-organized assemblies during the sol-gel processing of silica nanostructures

  This talk replaces the talk by Hristo Hristov, which was withdrawn. 

 

Using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) to monitor the evolution of self-organized assemblies during the sol-gel processing of silica nanostructures, Yaspal Badyal, Valmor de Almeida, Sheng Dai (ORNL)   Through the self-assembly of structure-directing polymer amphiphiles, which act as templating agents, sol-gel processing offers a very attractive route to forming mesoporous nanostructures with many potential technological applications. Little is known, however, about the detailed processes of polymer aggregation and self-organization in the solution and gel phases leading up to the dry, nanostructured materials. To address this lack of detailed knowledge, we have conducted SANS measurements on solutions containing the triblock copolymer EO₂₀PO₇₀EO₂₀ (P123) at various stages of the sol-gel process to monitor the evaporation-induced micellization and self-assembly. We report briefly on our preliminary findings.

 

HD.001 M. Batygov, Antineutrino observation and oscillation parameter measurement at KamLAND

This talk replaces the talk by Qun Wu, which was withdrawn. 

 

Antineutrino observation and oscillation parameter measurement at KamLAND, Mikhail Batygov, University of Tennessee and the KamLAND Collaboration  KamLAND is a 1-kiloton liquid scintillator detector located under Ikenoyama mountain near Kamioka, Japan with 1000 m rock overburden (2700 m.w.e) and surrounded by 53 major commercial reactors in Japan with average distance about 180 km.  The primary goal of the experiment is the detection of reactor antineutrinos.  New results presented correspond to 514 days of running time and support the conclusions of our first publication where the first observation of reactor antineutrino flux disappearance was reported.  New data give additional evidence for neutrino oscillation based on the distortion of the shape of energy spectrum.
