The decay rate of the excited state of the enol form of dibenzoylmethane (DBM) in different solvents is measured directly using nanosecond light pulses. The observed relaxation kinetics is explained by the formation of three intermediate forms of the excited cis-enol form of DBM. The decay rates of the intermediates and their absorption cross sections for λ = 266 nm are reported too.

Abstract We use optimal control theory to show that for a closed Λ-system where the excited intermediate level decays to the lower levels with a common large rate, the optimal scheme for population transfer between the lower levels is actually optical pumping. In order to obtain this result we exploit the large decay rate to eliminate adiabatically the weakly coupled excited state, then perform a transformation to the basis comprised of the dark and bright states, and finally apply optimal control to this transformed system. Subsequently, we confirm the optimality of the optical pumping scheme for the original closed Λ-system using numerical optimal control. We also demonstrate numerically that optical pumping remains optimal when the decay rate to the target state is larger than that to the initial state or the two rates are not very different from each other. The present work is expected to find application in various tasks of quantum information processing, where such systems are encountered

In this paper we calculate the neutrino absorption cross-sections for the reaction 71Ga(ν, e−)71Ge using two simple nuclear models to account for the giant GT resonances. In both models the excited state contributions are found to have significant ranges of variation and affect the solar neutrino capture rates. Nonetheless, the regions in the neutrino mixing angle-mass squared difference plane allowed by the data from the Gallium detectors, when taken together with those from the Chlorine and Kamioka experiments, are found to be comparatively stable.
