Oceanic distributions of radionuclides from nuclear weapons testing. [Relevance to decision as to marine disposal of radioactive wastes]

Description: Data on the transport of fallout radionuclides in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are reviewed. Relevance of water column fallout data to the disposal of radioactive waste in marine locations is discussed. It is pointed out that regional patterns of delivery of soluble radionuclides must be assumed to persist at least for decades, in spite of the homogenizing action of ocean current systems and that, although there are delays in relation to density discontinuities in the water column, particle-… more

Shell-model origins of collective effects in light- and medium-weight nuclei. [Preliminary results]

Description: Two independent investigations are discussed illustrating possible interesting collective features in some f-p shell nuclei which are generated from the motion of valence nuclei and that the structure of the states in question is consistent with interacting boson model theory. Also further studies of shell-model wave functions in the s-d and light f-p shell nuclei are discussed which also offer some support to the studied model. It is emphasized that these results are preliminary. Nine referenc… more

Some recent aspects of relaxation line shapes in Moessbauer spectroscopy. [White noise approximation]

Description: Theoretical development in the line shape calculation of Mossbauer resonance spectra involving spin relaxation effects is introduced. The ''eigenvalue'' procedure of calculating line shapes saves computational times by two orders of magnitude compared to traditional methods. This was illustrated by calculating the relaxation spectra of hemoglobin cyanide and a GAMMA/sub 8/ quartet electronic state. The ''white noise approximation'' involved in all the relaxation theory is discussed, and its lim… more

Study of the proton pairing vibrations as an example of elementary nuclear modes. [Z = 40, 50, 82]

Description: A study of the proton pairing vibrations as an example of elementary nuclear modes is discussed. The (/sup 3/He,n) reaction has been used to study 0/sup +/ proton pair vibration modes for nuclei at Z = 40, 50 and 82. Evidence is presented that Z = 38 is a better shell closure than Z = 40 but not at all perfect. For Z = 50 and 82 correction must be made for the substantial particle hole interaction to obtain agreement with the pairing vibration model. The interaction with neutron pairing quanta … more

Band structure in even-mass nuclei around A = 70. [Review]

Description: Studies of in-beam gamma rays from heavy-ion induced reactions were used to extensively explore the higher spin states of some of the even-mass nuclei around mass 70. This not only allowed observation of higher members of the ground-state band (up to spins of to 16), but also revealed a surprising variety of other bands. The various bands in such nuclei are reviewed, and some possible theoretical explanations are discussed. Five types of bands are considered. 32 references (JFP)
