The yields of 235 projectile-like and target-like fragments from the interaction of ¹³⁶Xe with a thick target of ²⁰⁸Pb at a center-of-mass energy, E[subscript cm], of 450 MeV were measured using γ-γ-γ coincidence data from Gammasphere and off-line γ-ray spectroscopy. The results give an expansive picture of the production cross...
In recent decades, there has been increased attention on human exposure to, and subsequently toxicity of, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are widespread organic pollutants and some have been shown to be toxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic. This research was focused on understanding the link between global PAH emissions and lung...
The hydroxide ion as a substitutional defect in KC1 can be photo-dissociated
at liquid nitrogen temperature by ultraviolet light. The
photochemistry of this system was investigated by EPR and optical absorption
methods. Theoretical calculations were also performed in an
investigation of the KC1:OH system.
The bleaching behavior of photochemically colored...
The incorporation of europium and dysprosium in potassium
chloride crystals was investigated. The crystals were prepared by
the Kyropoulos method from melts containing the rare-earth chlorides.
The concentration of these rare-earth ions in the crystals was determined
by neutron-activation analysis. The distribution coefficient of
europium and dysprosium between the molten...
