  • Clay mineral origin and distribution on Astoria Fan

    Creator:
    Russell, Kenneth Lloyd
    Abstract:
    Clay minerals from sediment samples obtained on Astoria Fan were analyzed by X-ray diffraction. Clay minerals are defined for the purpose of this study as crystalline phyllosilicates less than two microns in equivalent settling diameter. The clay minerals are subdivided into the five common families: montmorillonite, chlorite, vermiculite, illite, and...

  • The Neutron Capture Cross Section of ²⁰⁸Pb

    Creator:
    Lambert, Miriam
    Abstract:
    In this project we measure the neutron capture cross section of ²⁰⁸Pb. We began by calibrating our silicon detector with ²⁰⁴Tl. Two experiments were then performed, the first in December of 1999 and the second in March of 2000. Both experiments were performed in the nuclear reactor of the Radiation...

  • Using Angular Correlation to Determine Decay Behavior in Nuclei through the Analysis of Coincidence Sum Peaks

    Creator:
    Hager, Werner W., IV
    Abstract:
    When a nucleus is in an excited state, it will decay to lower energy by emitting photons. Often there are several intermediate stages in a decay cascade. Occasionally the photons in a cascade will be emitted in coincidence. This will be resolved by the detector not as two distinct photons,...

  • Neutron Capture Cross Sections of Cadmium Isotopes

    Creator:
    Gicking, Allison
    Abstract:
    The neutron capture cross sections of ¹⁰⁶Cd, ¹⁰⁸Cd, ¹¹⁰Cd, ¹¹²Cd, ¹¹⁴Cd and ¹¹⁶Cd were determined in the present project. Four different OSU TRIGA reactor facilities were used to produce redundancy in the results and to measure the thermal cross section and resonance integral separately. When the present values were compared...

  • Neutron Capture Cross Sections of Selenium Isotopes

    Creator:
    Dearmon, Howard D.
    Abstract:
    The thermal cross sections and resonance integrals for neutron capture by ⁷⁴,⁷⁸,⁸⁰,⁸²Se were measured using the same procedure and equipment for all of the isotopes. Uncertainty and absence of accurate previous values for several isotopes introduces a need of measuring these parameters using similar techniques. This was done using OSU’s...

  • Quadrupole moments and g-factors of low-lying bands in odd-A-nuclei (150<A<190)

    Creator:
    Rieckert, Volker
    Abstract:
    The static and dynamic electric quadrupole moments of even-even and odd-A nuclei with 150<A<190 have been compiled and analyzed in a systematic way, in order to extract the best set of intrinsic quadrupole moments Q₀. The intrinsic quadrupole moments of the odd-A nuclei have been used together with a compilation...

  • Gamma decays and level structure of ¹⁸⁶Ir

    Creator:
    Xiao, Dong
    Abstract:
    ¹⁸⁶Ir gamma transitions are studied via the reaction Hf (¹⁴N, xn) Au at ¹⁴N beam energy 130 MeV. The beta decay chain of Au is Au + Pt + Ir + Os. Singles and coincidence data are from measurements by Ge gamma-ray detectors. Conversion electrons are measured by Si(Li) detector....

  • Triple angular correlations of gamma rays in ¹¹⁰Cd

    Creator:
    Schulz, Norbert S.
    Abstract:
    An experiment has been conducted using a triple directional correlation method developed by K. S. Krane, R. M. Steffen and R. M. Wheeler (ref. 3). This method is presented and two normal detection geometries are introduced. The performance of the N1- and N2- geometry was studied in four experiments using...
