Description

"The present facilities at the University of Michigan for research in nuclear chemistry are described. The determination of the cross sections of various (d, alpha ) reactions induced by the 7.78 plus or minus 0.05 Mev deuterons from the University of Michigan cyclotron is presented. The work on the absolute (d, alpha ) reaction cross sections has been aimed at surveying the reaction yields as a function of atomic number with the hope of establishing the presence or absence of closed shell effects in these values. Methods are presented for the separation of carrier free P, Se, Mn, Co, Y, … continued below

Description

"The present facilities at the University of Michigan for research in nuclear chemistry are described. The determination of the cross sections of various (d, alpha ) reactions induced by the 7.78 plus or minus 0.05 Mev deuterons from the University of Michigan cyclotron is presented. The work on the absolute (d, alpha ) reaction cross sections has been aimed at surveying the reaction yields as a function of atomic number with the hope of establishing the presence or absence of closed shell effects in these values. Methods are presented for the separation of carrier free P, Se, Mn, Co, Y, and Nb. Work continued on the development and evaluation of radiochemical separation procedures for Ba, Sr, Ca, Ag. and In. A series of small-scale laboratory tests was conducted to determine the feasibility of the decontamination of I/sup 131/ from air by means of adsorption on a highly efficient solid absorber molecular sieve. Graphs are presented of atomic cross sections for thermal neutron activation of isotopes not found in nature vs. half life of daughter radioisotopes produced."
