Uranium on uranium collisions at relativistic energies

Deformation and orientation effects on compression, elliptic flow and particle production in uranium on uranium collisions (UU) at relativistic energies are studied within the transport model ART. The density compression in tip-tip UU collisions is found to be about 30% higher and lasts approximately 50% longer than in body-body or spherical UU reactions. The body-body UU collisions have the un...

Elliptic Flow in Uranium-Uranium Collisions at √ sNN = 193 GeV

The hot, dense nuclear medium created in Gold-Gold collisions at RHIC exhibits strong, anisotropic collective motion, characterized by the elliptic flow coefficient v2. v2 has been extensively studied, and is thought to be related to the initial eccentricity of the colliding system and its resulting density, quantified by 1 S dN dη . Recently, RHIC has begun colliding Uranium ions. Collisions o...

Distribution of uranium in rats implanted with depleted uranium pellets.

During the Persian Gulf War, soldiers were injured with depleted uranium (DU) fragments. To assess the potential health risks associated with chronic exposure to DU, Sprague Dawley rats were surgically implanted with DU pellets at 3 dose levels (low, medium and high). Biologically inert tantalum (Ta) pellets were used as controls. At 1 day and 6, 12, and 18 months after implantation, the rats w...
