It is predicted that nuclear spin conversion in molecules can be efficiently controlled by strong laser radiation resonant to rovibrational molecular transition. The phenomenon can be used for substantial enrichment of spin isomers, or for detection of very weak (10 − 100 Hz) interactions in molecules.

Keywords: Special nuclear materials Cosmic-ray radiation Monte Carlo simulation Joint and marginal probability density functions Multiplicity correlation a b s t r a c t The challenge in detection and identification of Special Nuclear Materials (SNM) is to discriminate between the time-correlated neutrons and gamma-rays emitted from SNM and those originating from non-correlated or differently-c...

Background: The concentrations and distributions of natural and anthropogenic radioactive materials in soils of the site of Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant (RNPP) were investigated with the aim of evaluating the environmental radioactivity and radiation hazard. Materials and Methods: Soil samples were collected from 40 locations in and around the proposed site of Rooppur Power Plant and determined ...

We treat high-energy neutrino production in gamma ray bursts (GRBs). Detailed calculations of photomeson neutrino production are presented for the collapsar model, where internal nonthermal synchrotron radiation is the primary target photon field, and the supranova model, where external pulsar-wind synchrotron radiation provides important additional target photons. Detection of greater, similar...

We describe a model for deploying radiation detectors on a transportation network consisting of two adversaries: a nuclear-material smuggler and an interdictor. The interdictor first installs the detectors. These installations are transparent to the smuggler, and are made under an uncertain threat scenario, which specifies the smuggler’s origin and destination, the nature of the material being ...

Introduction: The formation and evolution of culture in organizations are related to the learning experiences of their members over time. In this regard, the present study was conducted to empirically investigate the correlation relationship between the Learning Organization (LO) and safety culture concepts in Iran’s nuclear and radiological industries. Material and Methods: A theoretical mode...

background : one way to optimize energy consumption is replacing incandescent lamp with compact fluorescent lamps .these lamps produce ultraviolet radiation due to the nature of light production. this study aimed to evaluate the ultraviolet radiation emitted from compact fluorescent lamps which are widely used in iran. methods : this study carries out on 16 compact fluorescent lamps (four diffe...

background: the concentrations and distributions of natural and anthropogenic radioactive materials in soils of the site of rooppur nuclear power plant (rnpp) were investigated with the aim of evaluating the environmental radioactivity and radiation hazard. materials and methods: soil samples were collected from 40 locations in and around the proposed site of rooppur power plant and determined ...

background: annual patient effective dose equivalent can be considered as a quantitative physical parameter describing the activities performed in each nuclear medicine department. annual staff dose equivalent could be also considered as a parameter describing the amount of radiation risk for performing the activities. we calculated the staff to patient dose equivalent ratio to be used as a phy...
