From nuclear multifragmentation reactions to supernova explosions
In this talk I discuss properties of hot stellar matter at sub-nuclear densities which is formed in supernova explosions. I emphasize that thermodynamic conditions there are rather similar to those created in the laboratory by intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions. Theoretical methods developed for the description of multi-fragment final states in such reactions can be used also for descript...
متن کاملAn Analysis of P Travel Times for Nevada Test Site Explosions Recorded at Regional Distances
The uncertainty in hypocenters and origin times depends on measurement error (the wrong onset is picked) and error in the travel-time tables (and thus earth model) used. The errors in the tables comprise a baseline shift (the average difference over all stations is not zero) and the residuals about the baseline. The residuals are usually referred to as model error. Baseline error only affects o...

متن کاملA Random Walk with Exponential Travel Times
Consider the random walk among N places with N(N - 1)/2 transports. We attach an exponential random variable Xij to each transport between places Pi and Pj and take these random variables mutually independent. If transports are possible or impossible independently with probability p and 1-p, respectively, then we give a lower bound for the distribution function of the smallest path at point log...
متن کاملRadioactive Carbon from Nuclear Explosions and Nonthreshold Biological EffectsO
In this article, which appeared in the June 1958 issue of the Soviet journal, Atomic Energy, Sakharov estimated that about 10,000 people would ultimately suffer cancers, genetic disorders, and other ill effects from the radioactivity produced by a I-megaton nuclear explosion in the atmosphere. According to this estimate, the 1961 Soviet test of a 58-megaton nuclear explosive-,an explosion that ...
