Single-Neutron Transfer To 50ti, Jessica Nebel-Crosson
Single-Neutron Transfer To 50ti, Jessica Nebel-Crosson
Physics and Astronomy Summer Fellows
This is a continuation of the data analysis of a neutron-transfer reaction with 50Ti, in which the data was collected in 2019 and this analysis focuses on automating the calibration and peak fits for the generated spectra. Future work will continue with producing angular distributions for the rest of the excitation states and further analyzation in order to draw conclusions about single-neutron state structures.

Investigation Of Isomer Ratios In The Reactions (Γ, N) And (N, 2N) On Nuclei 76Ge And 82Se, Satimbay Palvanov, Turgunali Akhmadzhanov
Bulletin of National University of Uzbekistan: Mathematics and Natural Sciences
The method of the induced activity measured the isomeric yield ratios and cross-sections ratios of reactions (γ, n) and (n, 2n) on nuclei 76Ge and 82Se. Samples of natural have been irradiated in the bremsstrahlung beam of the betatron SB-50 of National University of Uzbekistan in the energy range of 10-35 MeV with energy step of 1 MeV. For 14 MeV neutron irradiation, we used the NG-150 neutron generator of Institute of Nuclear Physics. The gamma spectra reactions products were measured with a spectroscopic system consisting of HPGe detector CANBERRA with energy resolution …
Inverse-Kinematics Proton Scattering On 42s, Lisa M. Skiles
Inverse-Kinematics Proton Scattering On 42s, Lisa M. Skiles
Physics and Astronomy Summer Fellows
Following an experiment at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University (NSCL), we discuss preliminary analysis and results for excited states of the isotope 42S populated via inverse-kinematics proton scattering. The experiment was conducted with the NSCL/Ursinus College hydrogen target and the GRETINA gamma-ray tracking array. We report the proton-scattering deformation length of the 2+1 excitation in 42S and compare our results with other neutron-rich sulfur isotopes.

Inverse-Kinematics Proton Scattering On 44s, Max A. Liggett
Physics and Astronomy Summer Fellows
Using data from a 2016 experiment that took place at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) in Michigan State University, we study the excited states of 44S using the NSCL / Ursinus College liquid hydrogen target and the Gretina gamma-ray tracking array. I will discuss the results in the context of similar experiments on neutron-rich sulfur isotopes.
Influence Of Volcanic Eruptions On Tropical Hydroclimate During The Last Millennium, Christopher Colose
Influence Of Volcanic Eruptions On Tropical Hydroclimate During The Last Millennium, Christopher Colose
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Volcanic eruptions exert the most important radiative forcing on Earth’s climate during the pre-industrial interval of the last millennium. In this thesis, I investigate the role of volcanic eruptions in altering tropical climate, including temperature and rainfall. I primarily use forced transient simulations of the last millennium as a tool to explore how explosive volcanic events project onto the hydrologic cycle, as well as the imprint of water isotopologues (H216O, H218O) associated with rainfall. Attention is given to the South American continent specifically (in chapter 2), and to the entire tropics (in chapter 3).

Background: Be-15 is expected to have low-lying 3/2(+) and 5/2(+) states. A first search did not find the 3/2(+) [A. Spyrou et al., Phys. Rev. C 84, 044309 (2011)]; however, a resonance in Be-15 was populated in a second attempt and determined to be unbound with respect to Be-14 by 1.8(1) MeV with a tentative spin-parity assignment of 5/2(+) [J. Snyder et al., Phys. Rev. C 88, 031303(R) (2013)]. Purpose: Search for the predicted Be-15 3/2(+) state in the three-neutron decay channel. Method: A two-proton removal reaction from a 55 MeV/u C-17 beam was used to populate neutron-unbound states in …
A 30-Year Record Of The Isotopic Composition Of Atmospheric Methane, Doaa Galal Mohammed Teama
A 30-Year Record Of The Isotopic Composition Of Atmospheric Methane, Doaa Galal Mohammed Teama
Dissertations and Theses
Methane (CH4) is one of the most important greenhouse gases after water vapor and carbon dioxide due to its high concentration and global warming potential 25 times than that of CO2 (based on a 100 year time horizon). Its atmospheric concentration has more than doubled from the preindustrial era due to anthropogenic activities such as rice cultivation, biomass burning, and fossil fuel production. However, the rate of increase of atmospheric CH4 (or the growth rate) slowed from 1980 until present. The main reason for this trend is a slowdown in the trend of CH4 sources. …
Novel Production Techniques Of Radioisotopes Using Electron Accelerators, Daniel Robert Lowe
Novel Production Techniques Of Radioisotopes Using Electron Accelerators, Daniel Robert Lowe
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
Non-traditional radioisotope production techniques using a compact, high power linear electron accelerator have been demonstrated and characterized for the production of 18F, 47Sc, 147Pm, and 99mTc from a variety of target candidates. These isotopes are used extensively in the medical field as diagnostic and therapy radioisotopes, as well as the space industry as RTG's. Primary focus was placed on 99mTc as it constitutes approximately 80% of all diagnostic procedures in the medical community that use radioactive tracers. It was also the prime focus due to recent events at the Chalk River nuclear reactor, which caused global shortages of this isotope …

Isotope shifts in dielectronic recombination spectra were studied for Li-like ANd57+ ions with A = 142 and A = 150. From the displacement of resonance positions energy shifts δE142 150(2s-2p1/2) = 40.2(3)(6) meV [(stat)(sys)] and δE142 150(2s - 2p3/2) = 42.3(12)(20)meV of 2s - 2pj transitions were deduced. An evaluation of these values within a full QED treatment yields a change in the mean-square charge radius of 142 150δ⟨ r2⟩ = -1.36(1)(3) fm2. The approach is conceptually new and combines the advantage of a …

The relativistic recoil effect has been the object of experimental investigations using highly charged ions at the Heidelberg electron beam ion trap. Its scaling with the nuclear charge Z boosts its contribution to a measurable level in the magnetic-dipole (M1) transitions of B- and Be-like Ar ions. The isotope shifts of 36Ar versus 40Ar have been detected with sub-ppm accuracy, and the recoil effect contribution was extracted from the 1s22s22p 2P1/2-2P3/2 transition in Ar13+ and the 1s22s2p 3P1-3P2 transition …
Trap Loss In A Dual-Species Rb-Ar* Magneto-Optical Trap, H. C. Busch, M. K. Shaffer, E. M. Ahmed, C. I. Sukenik
Trap Loss In A Dual-Species Rb-Ar* Magneto-Optical Trap, H. C. Busch, M. K. Shaffer, E. M. Ahmed, C. I. Sukenik
Physics Faculty Publications
We have investigated trap loss in a dual-species magneto-optical trap (MOT) comprised of 85Rb and metastable 40Ar. We measure the trap loss rate coefficients for each species due to the presence of the other as a function of trap light intensity. We clearly identify both Penning ionization of Rb by Ar* and associative ionization to form the molecular ion RbAr+ as two of the trap loss channels. We have also measured the trap loss rate coefficient for the Ar* MOT alone and observe production of Ar+ and Ar2+ ions.
Polarization Of Astronomical Maser Radiation, Moshe Elitzur
Polarization Of Astronomical Maser Radiation, Moshe Elitzur
Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications
The polarization of maser radiation when the source is permeated by an aligned magnetic field is derived for arbitrary angular momenta of the transition states. This generalization is made possible by an analysis of the structure of the propagating waves in a frame aligned with the magnetic axis. The key elements in determining the polarization properties are the assumption of independent and incoherent pump and loss processes for all magnetic sublevels, and the beaming of maser radiation. The radiation propagating in the direction of maximal intensity growth is polarized according to the solutions derived by Goldreich, Keeley, and Kwan for …
