Gamma-Gamma Angular Correlation Studies For 142ce, A. Wolf, C. Chung, W. B. Walters, R. L. Gill, M. Shmid, R. E. Chrien, Graham F. Peaslee

Gamma-gamma angular correlations for several cascades in 142Ce were measured using a four-detector system. In a recent publication the level at 1219 keV was assigned 22+ in contradiction to a previous assignment of 41+. This makes 142Ce completely different from any known nucleus in the same region. It is shown, however, that this level is, in fact, completely consistent with 4+ and is in agreement with systematics.


Magnetic Moments Of 21+ States As A Probe Of The Effective Proton Boson Number Near The Z = 64 Subshell, A. Wolf, Z. Berant, D. D. Warner, R. L. Gill, M. Shmid, R. E. Chrien, Graham F. Peaslee, H. Yamamoto, John C. Hill, F. K. Wohn, C. Chung, W. B. Walters Mar 1983

The g-factors of the 21+ states in 144, 146Ba have been measured using the perturbed angular correlation method. The results are combined with existing experimental data for the neutron-rich Nd, Sm and Gd isotopes and discussed in the framework of the neutron proton interacting boson model. It is shown that the assumption of a drastic change in the effective proton boson number around N = 88, proposed in an earlier study, allows all the results to be explained in a simple framework involving constant values of the boson g-factors.


A Four-Detector System For Γ - Γ Angular Correlation Studies, A. Wolf, C. Chung, W. B. Walters, Graham Peaslee, R. L. Gill, M. Shmid, V. Manzella, E. Meier, M. L. Stellts, H. I. Liou, R. E. Chrien, D. S. Brenner Mar 1983

A multiple detector system for γ - γ coincidence and angular correlation measurements is described. The system consists of four large coaxial Ge detectors set at fixed positions, enabling the measurement of γ - γ coincidences between any pair. Thus, six distinct angles are measured simultaneously. The performance of the system was studied with a 152Eu source. An application for γ - γ correlation studies in 146Ce is described. Systematic errors, if present, are shown to be less than 0.03 and 0.05 for A2 and A4, respectively. The extension of this system to more than four detectors is straightforward.


Successional Trends In An Ungrazed, Arid Grassland Over A Decade, Edgar F. Kleiner Jan 1983

Successional Trends In An Ungrazed, Arid Grassland Over A Decade, Edgar F. Kleiner

Canyonlands Research Bibliography

A study has been made of the vegetational condition of a formerly grazed area, Chesler Park, in Canyonlands National Park. A comparison was made with the same area 10 years earlier. The 10-year successional changes are also compared to baseline data of 10 years earlier from Virginia Park, an adjacent ungrazed area. Because of inaccessibility and long isolation from disturbances, Virginia Park is presumed to be in climax condition and is the control for this study. Chesler Park shows a successional trend after 10 years toward the vegetational condition of Virginia Park. This is exemplified, with only one major exception …
