Benchmark experiment for the cross section of the 100 Mo(p,2n) 99m Tc and 100 Mo(p,pn) 99 Mo reactions

The surface chemistry of 2-butenes adsorbed on Mo(100), oxygen-covered Mo(100) and MoO2

2-Butenes adsorbed on M o (100) and oxygen-covered Mo(100) can either thermally decompose to yaeld hydrogen and adsorbed carbon, desorb molecularly, self-hydrogenate to produce butane, or dissociate to form a C 2 species which can further decompose to desorb methane 2-Butenes are proposed to completely thermally decompose on the four-fold sites on Mo (100) smce the hydrogen yield decreases hnea...

Diversification in the Supply Chain of (99)Mo Ensures a Future for (99m)Tc.

The uncertain availability of (99m)Tc has become a concern for nuclear medicine departments across the globe. An issue for the United States is that currently it is dependent on a supply of (99m)Tc (from (99)Mo) that is derived solely by production outside the United States. Since the United States uses half the world's (99)Mo production, the U.S. (99)Mo supply chain would be greatly enhanced i...

Adsorption of benzene on Mo(100) and MgO(100)/Mo(100) studied by ultraviolet photoelectron and metastable impact electron spectroscopies

By employing metastable impact electron spectroscopy (MIES) and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) together with work-function measurements, three adsorption states of benzene have been identified on the clean Mo(100) surface at 100 K: a chemisorbed layer, a second physisorbed layer with the aromatic rings plane parallel to the surface, and at higher coverages, an adsorbed layer with ...

Medical Radioisotopes Production: A Comprehensive Cross-Section Study for the Production of Mo and Tc Radioisotopes Via Proton Induced Nuclear Reactions on Mo

Measurement of double beta decay of 100 Mo to excited states in the NEMO 3 experiment

The double beta decay of 100Mo to the 01 and 2 + 1 excited states of 100Ru is studied using the NEMO 3 data. After the analysis of 8024 h of data the half-life for the two-neutrino double beta decay of 100Mo to the excited 01 state is measured to be T (2ν) 1/2 = [5.7 +1.3 −0.9(stat)±0.8(syst)]·10 y. The signal-to-background ratio is equal to 3. Information about energy and angular distributions...
