Abstract

It is shown that the low-energy gamma rays emitted from nuclei in a solid which are unaffected by the Doppler effect are subject to a temperature- dependent shift to lower energy. It is demonstrated that this shift can be attributed to the relativistic time dilatation caused by the motion of nuclei. (C.J. G.)

Centroid shift of. gamma. rays from positron annihilation in the depletion region of metal-oxide-semiconductor structures

Journal Article Leung, T C ; Kong, Y ; Lynn, K G ; ... - Applied Physics Letters; (USA)

Using metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structures, the shift of centroid (peak) of {gamma}-ray energy distributions emitted from positron annihilation has been measured as a function of incident positron energy. The Doppler centroid shift was found to be consistent with the positron motion in the MOS depletion region. The results are described by a one-dimensional positron diffusion model, and provide information on effective'' positron diffusion length under applied field.

STUDY OF LATTICE VIBRATIONS BY RESONANCE ABSORPTION OF NUCLEAR GAMMA RAYS

Journal Article Visscher, W M - Annals of Physics (New York) (U.S.)

It was demonstrated by Mossbauer that in a large proportion of emissions or absorptions of gamma rays by nuclei bound in crystals at low temperature the recoil energy is taken up by the crystal as a whole (no phonons are emitted). It is shown that an extension of Mossbauer's technique can be utilized to directly observe the frequency distribution of lattice vibrations in the crystal. Specifcally, if the emitter and absorber have the same favorable crystal structure, then the self-absorption cross section observed in a rotor experiment at low temperatare will be proportional to N(S)/S, where N(S) dS is themore »« less

Characterization of Chemical Impurities in Plutonium Oxide Inventories at the Plutonium Finishing Plant by Prompt Gamma-Ray Analysis

Conference Tingey, Joel M. ; Jones, Susan A. ; Delegard, Calvin H.

Prompt gamma-ray analysis is based on identification and intensity measurements of gamma rays produced by the interaction of plutonium and americium alpha particles with the nuclei of other elements. Alpha particles (a) emitted by the radioactive decay of plutonium and americium transmute elements, particularly low atomic number elements, present in plutonium oxide materials by (a,n?) and (a,p?) nuclear reactions, releasing a neutron (n) or proton (p), respectively, and associated gamma ray (?). Inelastic scattering alpha recoil reactions (a,a'?), without nuclear transmutation but emitting a characteristic gamma ray, may also occur. These reactions leave the product nuclei in excited states thatmore »« less
Doppler-shift attenuation of the energy of $gamma$ rays emitted as a result of Coulomb excitation (in Russian)

Journal Article Erokhina, K I ; Lemberg, I Kh ; Pasternak, A A - Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser. Fiz., v. 37, no. 8, pp. 1595-1608

Expressions were obtained for the theoretical forms of the Doppler shift of gamma lines for recoil nuclei. These expressions were used for carrying out a series of systematic calculations on the effect of different parameters on the forms of these lines and on the errors of the lifetimes determined as a result of the comparison of experimertal and theoretical forms of the gamma lines.

{gamma}-RAY AND PARSEC-SCALE JET PROPERTIES OF A COMPLETE SAMPLE OF BLAZARS FROM THE MOJAVE PROGRAM

Journal Article Lister, M L ; Hovatta, T ; Aller, M ; ... - Astrophysical Journal

We investigate the Fermi Large Area Telescope {gamma}-ray and 15 GHz Very Long Baseline Array radio properties of a joint {gamma}-ray and radio-selected sample of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) obtained during the first 11 months of the Fermi mission (2008 August 4-2009 July 5). Our sample contains the brightest 173 AGNs in these bands above declination -30 Degree-Sign during this period, and thus probes the full range of {gamma}-ray loudness ({gamma}-ray to radio band luminosity ratio) in the bright blazar population. The latter quantity spans at least 4 orders of magnitude, reflecting a wide range of spectral energy distribution (SED)more »« less
