  • The {sup 65}Cu(n,2n){sup 64}Cu and {sup 64}Zn(n,p){sup 64}Cu cross sections are measured relative to the {sup 56}Fe(n,p){sup 56}Mn cross section by the activation method. The {sup 56}Fe(n,p){sup 56}Mn cross section is then measured relative to an absolutely calibrated neutron flux monitor. Neutrons are produced by a 150 kV Cockroft-Walton accelerator using the {sup 3}H(d,n){sup 4}He reaction. Measurements are conducted under low-scatter conditions at 0{degree} with respect to the incident deuteron beam direction. Measurement of the induced {sup 64}Cu activity is conducted by positron absorption and annihilation in copper. Annihilation photons are counted in two 7.6 cm {times} 7.6 cm NaI(Tl)more » detectors, where the counting geometry takes advantage of the angular correlation of the emitted photons. Absolute efficiency of this counting system is determined by a {sup 22}Na standard activity. The {sup 22}Na absolute source activity is determined by {beta}{sup +}-{gamma} ray coincidence counting. Induced {sup 56}Mn activity is measured by 4{kappa}{beta}{sup {minus}} counting in a gas-flow proportional counter. Absolute efficiency of this counter is determined by 4{kappa}{beta}-{gamma} coincidence counting techniques. In all measurements, the time-dependence of the neutron flux is monitored by a standard BF{sub 3} long counter in multichannel scaling mode. Absolute measurement of the neutron flux is conduced by the Dual-Thin Scintillator (DTS) detector developed at the National Bureau of Standards (NBS). Absolute efficiency of the DTS detector is measured at NBS by the time-correlated associated alpha particle technique. The calibration agrees with efficiency determined by a Monte Carlo simulation of the detector response.« less
  • A study of events with Z/γ* bosons and hadronic jets produced at the Tevatron in pmore » $$\bar{p}$$ collisions at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV is presented. The data consist of approximately 14,000 Z/γ* → e +e - decay candidates from 343 pb -1 of integrated luminosity collected with the D0 detector. Cross sections and jet production properties have been measured for Z/γ* + ≥ 0 to 5 jet events. This measurement represents a significant improvement over previous measurements at the Tevatron, and it is the first at this center of mass energy with the D0 detector. The results are in good agreement with QCD predictions.« less
  • Isotopically enriched 70GGe and 74GGe single crystals were successfully gown by a newly developed vertical Bridgman method. The system allows us to reliably grow high purity Ge single crystals of approximately 1 cm 3G volume. To our knowledge, we have grown the first 70GGe single crystal. The electrically active chemical impurity concentration for both crystals was found to be ~2 x cm -3 which is two order of magnitude better that of 74Ge crystals previously grown by two different groups. Isotopic enrichment of the 70Ge and the 74Ge crystals is 96.3% and 96.8%, respectively. The residual chemical impurities present inmore » both crystals were identified as phosphorus, copper, aluminum, and indium. A wide variety of experiments which take advantage of the isotopic purity of our crystals are discussed.« less
