Higgs-Boson Production In Peripheral Heavy-Ion Collisions: Electromagnetic Production, Alec Schramm, Burndt Muller Nov 1990

Higgs-Boson Production In Peripheral Heavy-Ion Collisions: Electromagnetic Production, Alec Schramm, Burndt Muller

Alec J Schramm

Higgs-boson production via fusion of two virtual photons in nuclear collisions at energies of several TeV per nucleon is calculated. It is shown that although a trigger on quasielastic nuclear collisions suppresses the Higgs-boson production cross section, this mechanism could still provide a method for producing and detecting intermediate-mass Higgs bosons (MZ≲MH≲2MW).

Triple Gamma Directional Correlations In The Decay Of Europium-154, Gary Lewis Dec 1980

Triple Gamma Directional Correlations In The Decay Of Europium-154, Gary Lewis

Gary C. Lewis

The ('154)Eu nucleus decays by beta emission to an excited state of the ('154)Gd nucleus. The resulting ('154)Gd nucleus decays to its ground state by emission of gamma rays. One series of gamma rays emitted in this process is a cascade of energies 723 keV, 873 keV, and 123 keV. The 873 keV gamma ray is a mixture of E2 and M1 radiation. The mixing ratio of this transition has been measured using the triple gamma directional correlation technique. The experiments used a planar geometry with one angle fixed at 90 degrees. Two Ge(Li) detectors and one NaI(T1) detector were …
