Comparison of Mass Spectra Obtained with Low-Energy Ion and High-Energy Californium-252 Fission Fragment Bom bardment
نویسنده
چکیده
A direct comparlson Is made of the mass spectra of several involatile compounds obtained by using 252Cf ission fragment lonlratlon and iow-energy Ion bombardment using klloelectronvol! K+ and Cs’ ions. The comparisons were made on the same samples mounted on the same folk and mass determinations were made by using the time-of-flight principle. A very hlgh degree of slmllarity was observed In the spectra obtained by the two Ionization methods for all the compounds Investlgated.

An analysis of selected fission fragment angular distributions from helium-ion induced fission is made using an exact theoretical expression. Theoretical anisotropies obtained with the transition state model are compared with their corresponding values deduced from the statistical scission model. The nuclear moment of inertia extracted from the model calculations are compared with their est...

The title study has been made by using a time-of-flight mass spectrometer, placing primary emphasis on fragmentation reactions and rates. The mass spectrometer was modified so that segmented fields with segments of different magnitudes could be applied in the ion acceleration region and retarding potentials in the region between the flight tube and the ion detector. Methods using these retardin...
متن کاملPulse-shape Discrimination for Identification of Neutron Sources Using the Bc-501a Liquid Scintillator
Fast and accurate identification of neutron sources is very important in nuclear nonproliferation and international safeguards applications. Commonly, the identification of neutron spectra relies on unfolding procedures, which requires the solution of an ill-posed problem. In this paper, we present a new application of an existing technique, which can be used for neutron source identification w...
