通过胺基锂盐分离的方法合成了一种未有报道过的N-四氢糠基PNP配体E.; E分别与CrCl_3(THF)_3和Cr(CO)_6反应生成化合物[{Ph_2PN(CH_2OC_4H_7)PPh_2}CrCl_2(mu-Cl; )]_2(1)和[Ph_2PN(CH_2OC_4H_7)PPh_2]Cr(CO)_4(2).这三个化合物通过谱学和元素分析表征,化合物2进一步经; 过X射线单晶结构确认.在甲基铝氧烷(MAO)或其它助剂作用下,考察了1、2以及E/CrCl_3(THF)_3、E/Cr(acac)_3、E/Cr; Cl_2(THF)_2催化体系催化乙烯齐聚的性能.这些体系高选择性地催化乙烯四聚,最高活性为15.9 kg(product)/g(Cr)·h,; 1-辛烯的选择性最高可达63.6%.The N-tetrahydrofurfuryl diphoshinoamine (PNP) ligand (E) was synthesized by means of two-step salt elimination reactions where separation of the two kinds of the aminyl lithium salts for the respective reactions is necessary for obtaining a high yield of E. The ligand reacted with CrCl3(THF)(3) and Cr(CO)(6) to give P,P-chelation complexes [{Ph2PN(CH2OC4H7)PPh2} CrCl2(mu-Cl)](2) (1) and [Ph2PN(CH2OC4H7)PPh2] Cr(CO)(4) (2), respectively. Complexes E, 1 and 2 were characterized by spectroscopy and elemental analysis, of which complex 2 was further confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Upon activation with methylaluminoxane (MAO) or AlEt3, the catalyst systems including 1, 2, E/CrCl3(THF)(3), E/Cr(acac)(3) and E/CrCl2(THF)(2) were investigated. The best catalytic activity was achieved by 15.9 kg (product)/g (Cr)circle h in which a selectivity of 63.6% for 1-C-8 was obtained.National Natural Science Foundation of China [21473142, 21673191];; Innovative Research Team Program [IRT_14R31

Determination of the number of ψ(3686) events taken at BESIII

The number of ψ(3686) events collected by the BESIII detector during the 2021 run period is determined to be (2259.3±11.1)×106 by counting inclusive ψ(3686) hadronic events. The uncertainty is systematic and the statistical uncertainty is negligible. Meanwhile, the numbers of ψ(3686) events collected during the 2009 and 2012 run periods are updated to be (107.7±0.6)×106 and (345.4±2.6)×106, respectively. Both numbers are consistent with the previous measurements within one standard deviation. The total number of ψ(3686) events in the three data samples is (2712.4±14.3)×10^

JUNO Sensitivity on Proton Decay p→νˉK+p\to \bar\nu K^+ Searches

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a large liquid scintillator detector designed to explore many topics in fundamental physics. In this paper, the potential on searching for proton decay in $p\to \bar\nu K^+$ mode with JUNO is investigated.The kaon and its decay particles feature a clear three-fold coincidence signature that results in a high efficiency for identification. Moreover, the excellent energy resolution of JUNO permits to suppress the sizable background caused by other delayed signals. Based on these advantages, the detection efficiency for the proton decay via $p\to \bar\nu K^+$ is 36.9% with a background level of 0.2 events after 10 years of data taking. The estimated sensitivity based on 200 kton-years exposure is $9.6 \times 10^{33}$ years, competitive with the current best limits on the proton lifetime in this channel

JUNO sensitivity on proton decay p → ν K + searches*

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a large liquid scintillator detector designed to explore many topics in fundamental physics. In this study, the potential of searching for proton decay in the $p\to \bar{\nu} K^+$ mode with JUNO is investigated. The kaon and its decay particles feature a clear three-fold coincidence signature that results in a high efficiency for identification. Moreover, the excellent energy resolution of JUNO permits suppression of the sizable background caused by other delayed signals. Based on these advantages, the detection efficiency for the proton decay via $p\to \bar{\nu} K^+$ is 36.9% ± 4.9% with a background level of $0.2\pm 0.05({\rm syst})\pm$$0.2({\rm stat})$ events after 10 years of data collection. The estimated sensitivity based on 200 kton-years of exposure is $9.6 \times 10^{33}$ years, which is competitive with the current best limits on the proton lifetime in this channel and complements the use of different detection technologies

Prediction of Energy Resolution in the JUNO Experiment

International audienceThis paper presents the energy resolution study in the JUNO experiment, incorporating the latest knowledge acquired during the detector construction phase. The determination of neutrino mass ordering in JUNO requires an exceptional energy resolution better than 3% at 1 MeV. To achieve this ambitious goal, significant efforts have been undertaken in the design and production of the key components of the JUNO detector. Various factors affecting the detection of inverse beta decay signals have an impact on the energy resolution, extending beyond the statistical fluctuations of the detected number of photons, such as the properties of liquid scintillator, performance of photomultiplier tubes, and the energy reconstruction algorithm. To account for these effects, a full JUNO simulation and reconstruction approach is employed. This enables the modeling of all relevant effects and the evaluation of associated inputs to accurately estimate the energy resolution. The study reveals an energy resolution of 2.95% at 1 MeV. Furthermore, the study assesses the contribution of major effects to the overall energy resolution budget. This analysis serves as a reference for interpreting future measurements of energy resolution during JUNO data taking. Moreover, it provides a guideline in comprehending the energy resolution characteristics of liquid scintillator-based detectors
