The excitation and decay probabilities for resonance scattering
of radiation from an atom with two coupled excited states and one
ground state in an external static field are calculated as a function
of time and frequency. Various oscillatory behaviors are found in all
the probabilities. These oscillations depend on the...
An inelastic scattering experiment was done in which 17-MeV
protons from the Oregon State University cyclotron were scattered
from ¹⁴N
and ¹⁵N gas targets. Angular distributions are shown for
the ground, 6.32-, 7.56-, 8.31-, and 8.57 -MeV states and the 5.3- and
7.2-MeV unresolved doublets of ¹⁵N, and for the...
The feasibility of using the Franz-Keldysh effect in practical
light intensity controlling devices was investigated.
Reverse-biased diodes made from CdS were implemented to obtain
high electric fields necessary for the effect. The three types of
diodes studies were: MIS, metal-semiconductor barrier, and p⁺-n
heterojunction. An expression for the change in...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the distribution
and magnitude of scattered radiation from a typical
mobile radiographic examination as an aid in evaluating
the potential health hazards of the scattered radiation.
Also discussed are current radiation protection standards and
recommendations for mobile radiography.
A Manonite phantom represented...
