Selected Topics in Nuclear Geophysics

چکیده
Nuclear Geophysics is essential to the oil, gas and uranium industries. The initial development of nuclear geophysics was focused on developing techniques needed by the oil industry. Developments in nuclear physics and computational analysis were immediately used this field. Today, techniques developed in nuclear geophysics are also used by the coal and metalliferous mining industries and contribute to a substantial increase in productivity. This article tries to introduce the reader to the nuclear borehole logging. The applications of natural gamma radiation, backscattered gamma-gamma and prompt gamma neutron activation analysis are reviewed.

Applications of nuclear physics.
Today the applications of nuclear physics span a very broad range of topics and fields. This review discusses a number of aspects of these applications, including selected topics and concepts in nuclear reactor physics, nuclear fusion, nuclear non-proliferation, nuclear-geophysics, and nuclear medicine. The review begins with a historic summary of the early years in applied nuclear physics, wit...
متن کاملThe online attention to certain nuclear medicine topics: An altmetrics study vs. a citation analysis
Introduction: Traditional citation analysis has been greatly criticized because the process of citation accumulation requires considerable time after publication. So, the term “altmetrics” was proposed in 2010 to measure the scientific and social impact of a paper.We performed a search for certain nuclear medicine topics using the altmetrics approach to report the correlation b...
متن کاملSelected topics on Hadrons in Nuclei
In this talk we report on selected topics on hadrons in nuclei. The first topic is the renormalization of the width of the Λ(1520) in a nuclear medium. This is followed by a short update of the situation of the ω in the medium. The investigation of the properties of K̄ in the nuclear medium from the study of the (Kflight, p) reaction is also addressed, as well as properties of X,Y,Z charmed and ...
متن کاملSome snapshots from fifty years of geophysics
The history of geophysics in Australia began with the first European explorers, who were concerned with the measurement of basic geophysical quantities, such as the Earth’s gravitational and magnetic fields (Day, 1966). By the first half of the twentieth century, Australia had been recognised as a possible happy-hunting ground for the new methods of exploration geophysics, as witness the accoun...
