Alpha-Decay Studies in the Heavy-Element Region

Description: Using primarily a 75-cm radius of curvature 60 deg symmetrical electromagnetic analyzer, a study of the complexity of the following alpha spectra was made: Es/sup 253/, Cf/sup 246/, Cm/sup 244/, Am/sup 243/, Pu/sup 236,242/, Pa/sup 231/ , Th/sup 227,230/, Ac/sup 225/, At/sup 209/ and Po/sup 206/. An investigation of the gamma rays associated with the following isotopes was also madei /sup 236/, and Pa/sup 231/. Decay schemes have been suggested for most of the isotopes included in this study.

Alpha-Decay Studies in the Heavy Element Region

Description: Thesis describing a research conducted to extend observations on nuclear energy levels and how they effect the nucleus itself, and an investigation on the gamma rays associated for the even-even isotopes and to obtain additional data for the oddmass neclei in the hope that more regularities will become apparent for that class of nuclides.

Angular Distribution of Photopions From Hydrogen

Description: ABS>An accurate measurement of the differential cross section for the photoproduction of positive pions was made at the Berkeley synchrotron, for photon energies of 280 and 290 Mev. The mesons were produced in a thin-walled liquid hydrogen target, and the meson detection apparatus utilized the characteristic pi -- mu decay of the meson. The measurements were done in two steps, from 0 to 50 deg with equipment specifically designed to reduce a very high positron background, and from 30 to 160 deg… more

The Deuteron-Pickup Reaction in an Optical-Model Approximation

Description: in which the nuclear interactions of the incoming and outgoing particles are considered. Two different formal expressions that give the transition amplitude are derived, and the wave functions in this amplitude are approximated by an optical-model procedure in which it is assumed that the initial- and final- state particles scatter elastically in the nucleus. The inelasticscattering effects are shown to be small. Several closed forms for these optical-model wave functions are derived on the hsi… more

On the Photofission Cross Sections Near Threshold of Nuclei in the Region of the Very Heary Elements

Description: Variations in the photofission cross section near ''threshold'' with initial kind of nucleus were investigated for seven spheroidal nuclei in the region of atomic numbers 90, 92, 93. The photofission cross sections at the two discrete energies 6.14 and 7.0 Mev were determined for the following even-even nuclide . Th/sup 232/, U/sup 234/, U/;sup 236/, and U/sup 238/; and also the odd- A nuclides. U/sup 233/, U/sup 235/ and Np/sup 237/. Nuclear excitation of the target nuclei was achieved via gam… more

The Radiation Chemistry of the Symmetrical Dichloroethylenes

Description: Purified, degassed samples of cis- and trans-1,2dichloroethylene were irradiated in glass cells with 48Mev helium ions at energy inputs up to 10/sup 21/ ev/cc. The principal volatile radiolysis products are acetylene, hydrogen chloride, chloroacetylene, vinyl chloride, hydrogen, and dichloroacetylene, in order of decreasing yield. The use of a mass spectrometer in conjunction with gas chromatography made possible the identification of several higher-boiling, or ''polymer,'' products as tetrachl… more

Analysis of Current Distribution in Electrolytic Cells With Flowing Mercury Cathodes

Description: An idealized model is postulated embodying the essential features of industrial caustic-chlorine cells with horizontal flowing-mercury cathodes. This model is examined in detail, and relations expressing the local anode potential, cathode potential, and ohmic potential drop in the electrolyte in terms of local current density and other parameters are established. These relations are combined to give a system of equations relating current density at any location along the cell to applied total p… more

An Experimental Investigation of Two-Phase, Two-Component Flow in a Horizontal, Converging-Diverging Nozzle

Description: A discussion is presented of an investigation of the flow characteristics in a horizontal, converging-diverging nozzle for a two-phase, air- water system. The primary consideration, to determine the effects of accelerating the liquid phase by the gaseous phase, was measured in terms of nozzle exit water velocity, exit slip ratio, and exit acceleration factor. A gamma-ray-attenuation technique was used to determine these values by determining the average cross-sectional void fraction, the ratio … more

Mutual Charge Neutralization of Gaseous Ions

Description: The problem of the bimolecular rate constant, alpha , for the mutual charge neutralization reaction (ion-ion recombination) for ions formed by the vacuum ultraviolet photolysis of nitric oxide is considered. The pressure dependence of alpha over a pressure range of 10 to 600 torr for mixtures of a few hundred microns of NO with He, Ar, Kr, Xe, H/sub 2/, D/sub 2/, and N/sub 2/ was measured. From the low-pressure limit of alpha , the rate constant for charge neutralization in the absence of a thi… more

Calculations of the ground state energy and exchange integrals of crystalline $sup 3$He

Description: Thesis. The variational equation is derived and discussed using Jastrowtype wave functions, which are a product of pair wave functions, as the trail wave function. The various approximations used in simplifying the variational equations so as to obtain a form that is possible to solve numerically are discussed also. A Monte Carlo calculation is described using the wave function obtained. Exchange in /sup 3/He is discussed. (MHR)
