Passive Low-Energy Nuclear-Recoil Detection with Color Centers

Nuclear Exclusive and Semi-inclusive Physics with a New CLAS12 Low Energy Recoil Detector

The 11 GeV beam of the upgraded Jefferson Lab combined with the CLAS12 detector provides a unique opportunity to investigate the internal structure of nuclei and to understand the effect of the nuclear matter on the structure of hadrons. It also allows us to study the properties of QCD by measuring the internal structure of hadrons themselves and by studying the spectrum of the QCD bound states...

Low Energy Nuclear Reactions

Character and Role of Theory Storms’ view of where and how low energy nuclear reactions (LENR) occur has been called a theory, so we begin with an examination of the character of a scientific theory. A compact summary about theory in any science is available in Wikipedia: “A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that ...

Energy transfer among color centers in LiF crystals

In colored LiF crystals there are many absorption and emission bands which cover a wide region of the spectrum from 200 up to 1 300 nm without breaking the continuity. In the frame of these favourable conditions we have performed some experiments of energy transfer among various color centers. The results indicate the existence of efficient exchanges of radiative energy among several bands by u...

Nuclear g factor measurement with Recoil-into-Vacuum method

The recoil-in-vacuum (RIV) [1] is a method utilizing hyperfine interaction to measure the nuclear g factors for excited states with pico-second lifetimes. It has drawn a lot of attentions recently because of advantages over transient field (TF) method for applications to radioactive beams. The RIV was first introduced in the 1970’s but was seldom used due to the difficulty in calibrating the hy...
