Exposure of school children to alpha particles
Background: A substantial part of the public’s natural radiation dose is due to the inhalation of radon gas. Most of the exposure occurs indoors where the airborne concentration of radon and its decay products is usually higher than outdoors. Materials and Methods: Radon activity concentration has been measured twice in 50 classrooms in 5 levels (10 each) during summer and winter using solid-st...
متن کاملAlpha effect due to buoyancy instability of a magnetic layer
Context. A strong toroidal field can exist in form of a magnetic layer in the overshoot region below the solar convection zone. This motivates a more detailed study of the magnetic buoyancy instability with rotation. Aims. We calculate the α effect due to helical motions caused by an unstable magnetic layer in a rotating density-stratified system with angular velocity Ω making an angle θ with t...
متن کاملWeak Alfvén-wave turbulence revisited.
Weak Alfvénic turbulence in a periodic domain is considered as a mixed state of Alfvén waves interacting with the two-dimensional (2D) condensate. Unlike in standard treatments, no spectral continuity between the two is assumed, and, indeed, none is found. If the 2D modes are not directly forced, k(-2) and k(-1) spectra are found for the Alfvén waves and the 2D modes, respectively, with the lat...
متن کاملMicroturbulent Transport of Non-maxwellian Alpha Particles
Title of dissertation: MICROTURBULENT TRANSPORT OF NON-MAXWELLIAN ALPHA PARTICLES George John Wilkie, Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Dissertation directed by: Professor William Dorland Department of Physics A burning Deuterium-Tritium plasma is one which depends upon fusion-produced alpha particles for self-heating. Whether a plasma can reach a burning state requires knowledge of the transport of a...
متن کاملAlfvén instability in a compressible flow.
A new ideal magnetohydrodynamic instability is presented. It is shown that linear incompressible Alfvénic disturbances can get over-reflected and exponentially amplified in compressible plasma flows. A simple and transparent stability criterion for a two-layer model is derived. The instability does not require a shear in the flow and may arise for rather moderate sub-Alfvénic flow speeds. It is...
