Radiochemical Research with Transactinide Elements in Switzerland

Radiochemical Studies of the Transactinide Element, Rutherfordium (Rf) at JAERI

Radiochemical studies of element 104, rutherfordium (Rf), at JAAERI (Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute) are reviewed. The transactinide nuclide 261Rf has been successfully produced in the reaction 248Cm(18O, 5n) at the JAERI tandem accelerator. The excitation function of the reaction has been measured with a rotating wheel catcher apparatus and the maximum production cross section has been...

Production and Chemistry of Transactinide Elements

First Transactinide Chemistry Behind TASCA

The final phase of the TASCA commissioning program [1] included a series of experiments with Rf, Rf and Rf produced in the Pu(Ne,xn) reaction. One of the highlights was a proof-of-principle transactinide chemistry experiment with 78-s Rf. The Automated Rapid Chemistry Apparatus (ARCA) [2] was used to study the formation of fluoride complexes of Rf in diluted HF-solution by anion-exchange chroma...

Resource allocation to brain research in Switzerland.

QUESTIONS UNDER STUDY This study represents a first attempt at estimating Swiss resource allocation to brain research including both public and private spending. METHODS In order to estimate public spending (by governments and charities) a survey was conducted to evaluate the way brain research is funded across Europe and especially in Switzerland. Industry funding was measured using differen...
