Single Particle Excitation Theory Of The Photonuclear Giant Resonance

Description: Calculations of the photonuclear giant resonance according to the Wilkinson model are presented in this report. In this model the giant resonance in the cross section for absorption of gamma rays by nuclei is ascribed to the excitation of large numbers of nucleons in closed shells. The model generally predicts correctly the integrated cross section for the giant resonance, bu the resonance energy is too low. Results are presented in a series of tables and formulas so that the integrated cross s… more

Fabrication and Properties of Hot-Pressed Uranium Mononitride

Description: Dense UN specimens for property tests were fabricated primarily by an isostatic hot-pressing technique in which consolidated powder sealed in a refractory metal container was subjected to a 10,000-psi external gas pressure at 1480 to 1540 deg C for 3 to 4 hr. The thermal conductivity of uranium mononitride increased from 0.04 cal/(cm)(sec)( deg C) at 200 deg C to 0.06 cal/ (sec)(cm/sup 2/)( deg C) at 1000 deg C, which by an integrated thermal- conductivity criterion, makes it some eight times m… more

Mound Laboratory Progress Report for July 1963

Description: 8 7 6 2 ; 7 4 7 6 : 7 8 : : ; half life of 3.781 plus or minus 0.010 years based on calorimetric measuiements. The calorimetric assay of the sample will be continued ior several years to decrease the probable error. The decay scheme for /sup 209/Po--/sup 209/Po/ isitopic mixtures is being determined. The gamma spectrum is being studied using two sources of different isotopic composition. Definite peaks were established at 76, 260, 300, 575, and 9l0 kev. Various multiple coincidence experiments … more
