On the Photofission Cross Sections Near Threshold of Nuclei in the Region of the Very Heary Elements

Description: Variations in the photofission cross section near ''threshold'' with initial kind of nucleus were investigated for seven spheroidal nuclei in the region of atomic numbers 90, 92, 93. The photofission cross sections at the two discrete energies 6.14 and 7.0 Mev were determined for the following even-even nuclide . Th/sup 232/, U/sup 234/, U/;sup 236/, and U/sup 238/; and also the odd- A nuclides. U/sup 233/, U/sup 235/ and Np/sup 237/. Nuclear excitation of the target nuclei was achieved via gam… more

The Radiation Chemistry of the Symmetrical Dichloroethylenes

Description: Purified, degassed samples of cis- and trans-1,2dichloroethylene were irradiated in glass cells with 48Mev helium ions at energy inputs up to 10/sup 21/ ev/cc. The principal volatile radiolysis products are acetylene, hydrogen chloride, chloroacetylene, vinyl chloride, hydrogen, and dichloroacetylene, in order of decreasing yield. The use of a mass spectrometer in conjunction with gas chromatography made possible the identification of several higher-boiling, or ''polymer,'' products as tetrachl… more

Angular Distribution of Photopions From Hydrogen

Description: ABS>An accurate measurement of the differential cross section for the photoproduction of positive pions was made at the Berkeley synchrotron, for photon energies of 280 and 290 Mev. The mesons were produced in a thin-walled liquid hydrogen target, and the meson detection apparatus utilized the characteristic pi -- mu decay of the meson. The measurements were done in two steps, from 0 to 50 deg with equipment specifically designed to reduce a very high positron background, and from 30 to 160 deg… more

The Deuteron-Pickup Reaction in an Optical-Model Approximation

Description: in which the nuclear interactions of the incoming and outgoing particles are considered. Two different formal expressions that give the transition amplitude are derived, and the wave functions in this amplitude are approximated by an optical-model procedure in which it is assumed that the initial- and final- state particles scatter elastically in the nucleus. The inelasticscattering effects are shown to be small. Several closed forms for these optical-model wave functions are derived on the hsi… more
