Spectroscopy of neutron rich nuclei using cold neutron induced fission of actinide targets at the ILL: The EXILL campaign
One way to explore exotic nuclei is to study their structure by performing -ray spectroscopy. At the ILL, we exploit a high neutron flux reactor to induce the cold fission of actinide targets. In this process, fission products that cannot be accessed using standard spontaneous fission sources are produced with a yield allowing their detailed study using high resolution -ray spectroscopy. This i...
متن کاملNeutron spectroscopy of plutonium oxide using matrix unfolding approach
The knowledge of a neutron energy spectrum is extremely valuable in nuclear non-proliferation and safeguards applications. Unfortunately, conventional gas and fission-type detectors are not adapted to determine incident neutron energy. As a result, a matrix inversion technique was implemented to generate desirable and consistent neutron energy spectra from an EJ-309 liquid scintillator. To over...
متن کاملDistinguishing Bare Quark Stars from Neutron Stars
Observations to date cannot distinguish neutron stars from self-bound bare quark stars on the basis of their gross physical properties such as their masses and radii alone. However, their surface luminosity and spectral characteristics can be significantly different. Unlike a normal neutron star, a bare quark star can emit photons from its surface at super-Eddington luminosities for an extended...
متن کاملStrong correlations in actinide redox reactions.
Reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions of the redox couples An(VI)/An(V), An(V)/An(IV), and An(IV)/An(III), where An is an element in the family of early actinides (U, Np, and Pu), as well as Am(VI)/Am(V) and Am(V)/Am(III), are modeled by combining density functional theory with a generalized Anderson impurity model that accounts for the strong correlations between the 5f electrons. Diagonalizat...
متن کاملRemoval of Mercury and Arsenic Metal Pollutants from Water Using Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Synthesized from Lichen Sinensis Ramalina Extract
Background & objectives: The import of heavy metals into various sources of drinking water supply is one of the major problems of water quality, especially in industrial areas. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of mercury and arsenic metal pollutants to be removed from aqueous solutions using green oxide nanoparticles synthesized by green method. For this purpose, the extract...
