Comparison of measurement systems for assessing number- and mass-based particle filtration efficiency
Timothy A. Sipkens, Joel C. Corbin, Triantafillos Koukoulas +8
The particle filtration efficiency (PFE) of a respirator or face mask is one of its key properties. While the physics of particle filtration results in the PFE being size-dependent…
Systematic experimental comparison of particle filtration efficiency test methods for commercial respirators and face masks
Joel C. Corbin, Greg J. Smallwood, Ian Leroux +7
Respirators, medical masks, and barrier face coverings all filter airborne particles using similar physical principles. However, they are tested for certification using a variety o…
The He2 - OCS complex: comparison between theory and experiment
J. Norooz Oliaee, N. Moazzen-Ahmadi, A. R. W. McKellar +2
OCS is an ideal probe for quantum solvation effects in cold helium clusters. He2-OCS is the "second step" in going from a single OCS molecule to a large doped superfluid helium clu…
Three new infrared bands of the He-OCS complex
J. Norooz Oliaee, B. L. Brockelbank, A. R. W. McKellar +1
Three new infrared bands of the weakly-bound He-OCS complex are studied, using tunable lasers to probe a pulsed supersonic slit jet expansion. They correspond to the (0400) <-- (00…
