Branching ratio measurements of the 7.12-MeV state in 16O

Branching Ratio of 18Ne(7.06 MeV, 4+)

The recently reported branching ratio (BR) for the 4+ state in 18Ne at Ex = 7.06 MeV strongly disagrees with the BR computed using the known properties of this state.

Quadrupole and octupole radiation from 16O near 39 MeV excitation.

Modulation cancellation method for isotope 18O/16O ratio measurements in water.

The application of an innovative spectroscopic balancing technique to measure the isotope 18O/16O ratio in water vapor is reported. Quartz enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy has been employed as the absorption sensing technique. Two isotope absorption lines with the same quantum numbers, with very close lower energy levels, have been selected to limit the sensitivity to temperature variations ...

Branching Ratio and Form Factor Measurements of 0 Beta Decay

We present a branching ratio measurement for the beta decay of neutral Cascade hyperon, 0 ! + e e , using the KTeV detector at Fermilab. We used the principal decay mode of 0 ! 0 where ! p , as the ux normalization mode. The status of the measurement of the ratio of the axial-vector to vector coupling (g1/f1) for the Cascade beta decay will also be discussed. Furthermore, we present the prelimi...

critical period effects in foreign language learning:the influence of maturational state on the acquisition of reading,writing, and grammar in english as a foreign language

since the 1960s the age effects on learning both first and second language have been explored by many linguists and applied linguists (e.g lennerberg, 1967; schachter, 1996; long, 1990) and the existence of critical period for language acquisition was found to be a common ground of all these studies. in spite of some common findings, some issues about the impacts of age on acquiring a second or...
