A DNA barcode library for ground beetles of Germany: the genus Agonum Bonelli, 1810 (Insecta, Coleoptera, Carabidae)

The ground beetle genus Agonum Bonelli, 1810 is a large genus of the tribe Platynini with many species that show BLACK WALNUT HULLS high amounts of intraspecific variations, making a correct identification challenging.As part of the German Barcode of Life initiative, this publication provides a comprehensive DNA barcode library for species of Agonu

Bragg-Primakoff axion photoconversion in crystal detectors

Abstract Axions and axion-like pseudoscalar particles with dimension-5 couplings to photons exhibit coherent Primakoff scattering with ordered crystals at keV energy scales, making for a natural detection technique in searches for solar axions.We find that there are large suppressive corrections, potentially greater than a factor of O $$ mathcal{O}
