... Fall 2001 . ... With heavy water as its target medium the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) is designed to study solar neutrinos by measuring both the total flux of 8B neutrinos through the neutral-current interaction as well as the electron-type neutrino flux via charged-current dissociation of deuterium. By comparing the electron neutrino flux to the total solar neutrino flux, SNO can make a unique study of the solar neutrino deficit and a model independent test for neutrino oscillations. ...

... Comparative study of Tl-2201 single crystals with T c =30 and 110 K by means of X-ray structural analysis and NMR. Abstract: . The crystal structure of a tetragonal single crystal of Tl-2201 with T c =30 K has been determined by the X-ray diffraction technique ( a = 3.8717(3), c = 23.224(3) Angstrom, space group I4/mmm, Z = 2). The chemical composition is found to be Tl 1.90(1) Cu 0.10(1) Ba 2 CuO 6.18(4) . ... Structural parameters of Tl-2201 cuprates with various T c have been compared. ...
