In 2011, a discrepancy between the values of the Planck constant measured by counting Si atoms and by comparing mechanical and electrical powers prompted a review, among others, of the measurement of the spacing of $^{28}$Si {220} lattice planes, either to confirm the measured value and its uncertainty or to identify errors. This exercise confirmed the result of the previous measurement and yields the additional value $d_{220}=192014711.98(34)$ am having a reduced uncertainty.

The measurement of the angle between the interferometer front mirror and the diffracting planes is a critical aspect of the Si lattice-parameter measurement by combined x-ray and optical interferometry. In addition to being measured off-line by x-ray diffraction, it was checked on-line by transversely moving the analyser crystal and observing the phase shift of the interference fringe. We describe the measurement procedure and give the miscut angle of the $^{28}$Si crystal whose lattice parameter was an essential input-datum for, yesterday, the determination of the Avogadro constant and, today, the kilogram realisation by counting atoms. These data are a kindness to others that might wish to repeat the measurement of the lattice-parameter of this unique crystal.
The possible occurence of highly deformed configurations is investigated in the $^{40}$Ca and $^{56}$Ni di-nuclear systems as formed in the $^{28}$Si+$^{12}$C,$^{28}$Si reactions by using the properties of emitted light charged particles. Inclusive a s well as exclusive data of the heavy fragments and their associated light charged particles have been collected by using the {sc ICARE} charged particle multidetector array. The data are analysed by Monte Carlo CASCADE statistical-model calculations using a consistent set of parameters with spin-dependent level densities. Significant deformation effects at high spin are observed as well as an unexpected large $^{8}$Be cluster emission of a binary nature.
We review the methods of constructing confidence intervals that account for a priori information about one-sided constraints on the parameter being estimated. We show that the so-called method of sensitivity limit yields a correct solution of the pro blem. Derived are the solutions for the cases of a continuous distribution with non-negative estimated parameter and a discrete distribution, specifically a Poisson process with background. For both cases, the best upper limit is constructed that accounts for the a priori information. A table is provided with the confidence intervals for the parameter of Poisson distribution that correctly accounts for the information on the known value of the background along with the software for calculating the confidence intervals for any confidence levels and magnitudes of the background (the software is freely available for download via Internet).
We present the first world-wide inter-laboratory comparison of small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) for nanoparticle sizing. The measurands in this comparison are the mean particle radius, the width of the size distribution and the particle concentrat ion. The investigated sample consists of dispersed silver nanoparticles, surrounded by a stabilizing polymeric shell of poly(acrylic acid). The silver cores dominate the X-ray scattering pattern, leading to the determination of their radii size distribution using: i) Glatters Indirect Fourier Transformation method, ii) classical model fitting using SASfit and iii) a Monte Carlo fitting approach using McSAS. The application of these three methods to the collected datasets produces consistent mean number- and volume-weighted core radii of R$_n$ = 2.76 nm and R$_v$ = 3.20 nm, respectively. The corresponding widths of the log-normal radii distribution of the particles were $sigma_n$ = 0.65 nm and $sigma_v$ = 0.71 nm. The particle concentration determined using this method was 3.00 $pm$ 0.38 g/L (4.20 $pm$ 0.73 $times$ 10$^{-6}$ mol/L). We show that the results are slightly biased by the choice of data evaluation procedure, but that no substantial differences were found between the results from data measured on a very wide range of instruments: the participating laboratories at synchrotron SAXS beamlines, commercial and home-made instruments were all able to provide data of high quality. Our results demonstrate that SAXS is a qualified method for revealing particle size distributions in the sub-20 nm region (at least), out of reach for most other analytical methods.
This paper presents a direct method to obtain the deterministic and stochastic contribution of the sum of two independent sets of stochastic processes, one of which is composed by Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes and the other being a general (non-linear ) Langevin process. The method is able to distinguish between all stochastic process, retrieving their corresponding stochastic evolution equations. This framework is based on a recent approach for the analysis of multidimensional Langevin-type stochastic processes in the presence of strong measurement (or observational) noise, which is here extended to impose neither constraints nor parameters and extract all coefficients directly from the empirical data sets. Using synthetic data, it is shown that the method yields satisfactory results.
