Abstract

The mono-energetic neutrons of 1.456eV energy are obtained from 2 MWth TR-I swimming pool type research reactor using double collimated beams and BRAGG reflection of pure Beryllium mono-crystal with extremely fine energy resolution. Foil thickness for 3 foils were 26., 28, and 44.10-4 cm and they were perpendicular to the beam of mono-energetic neutrons and were irradiated in sandwich form. After irradiation, the saturation activities were obtained using Phillips two-pie special beta-ray detector in a well controlled and shielded geometry. Counting reproducibility was excellent (better than 0.1%). Special Attention was paid to the irradiated (side A) and non-irradiated (side B) sides of the foils. Usual irradiation and decay corrections were applied to obtain the saturation activities. In this work, the preliminary calculations of reaction rates using Nakazawa M. et al., JENDL Dosimetry file, JAERI 1325, (1992) were performed. Considerable differences are found between the calculations and experiment and possible reasons are still under investigation. The preliminary calculations of reaction rates using ENDFB/VI are in agreement with JENDL-3 estimates. Absolute reaction rate estimates are not yet ready. Considerable numbers of research centers are interested in the experiment and very constructive inputs are expressed and obtained from Hiroyuki Oigawa, Shigeaki Okajima andmore »« less

Effect of f-element complexation on the radiolysis of 2-ethylhexylphosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester (HEH[EHP])

Journal Article Mezyk, Stephen; Baxter, Makayla; Celis-Barros, Cristian; ... - Dalton Transactions

A systematic study of the impact on the chemical reactivity of the oxidising n-dodecane radical cation (RH˙⁺) with f-element complexed 2-ethylhexylphosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester (HEH[EHP]) has been undertaken utilizing time-resolved electron pulse radiolysis/transient absorption spectroscopy and high-level quantum mechanical calculations. Lanthanide ion complexed species, [Ln((HEH[EHP])₂)₃], exhibited vastly increased reactivity (over 10× faster) in comparison to the non-complexed ligand in n-dodecane solvent, whose rate coefficient was k = (4.66 ± 0.22) × 10⁹ M^-1 s^-1. Similar reactivity enhancement was also observed for the corresponding americium ion complex, k = (5.58 ± 0.30) × 10¹⁰ M^-1 s^-1. The vastly increased reactivity ofmore »« less

[Utilizing the ultraintense JanUSP laser at LLNL]. 99-ERD-049 Final LDRD Report

Technical Report Patel, P; Price, D; Mackinnon, A; ...

Recent advances in laser and optical technologies have now enabled the current generation of high intensity, ultrashort-pulse lasers to achieve focal intensities of 10{sup 20}-10{sup 21} W/cm{sup 2} in pulse durations of 100-500fs. These ultraintense laser pulses are capable of producing highly relativistic plasma states with densities, temperatures, and pressures rivaling those found in the interiors of stars and nuclear weapons. Utilizing the ultraintense 100TW JanUSP laser at LLNL we have explored the possibility of ion shock heating small micron-sized plasmas to extremely high energy densities approaching 1GJ/g on timescales of a few hundred femtoseconds. The JanUSP laser delivers 10more »« less

Selectivity of addition of the hydroxyl radical to ring positions of pyridine and pyridine mono-and dicarboxylic acids. An electron spin resonance investigation

Journal Article Steenken, S; O'Neill, P - J. Phys. Chem.; (United States)

The reactions of pyridine and mono- and dicarboxypyridines with OH were studied by irradiating 5 mM aqueous solutions saturated with N/sub 2/O with 2.8-MeV electrons using the in situ radiolysis electron spin resonance (ESR) technique. With all compounds studied except pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate the radicals observed were produced by the addition of OH to the least electron deficient positions of the pyridine ring, i.e. in the 3 or 5 position. If either the 3 or 5 position is substituted by a carboxyl group, the OH addition takes place at the unsubstituted position. The pH dependence of the ESR spectra of the OHmore »« less

Distributions of {beta}{sup +} decayed nuclei generated in the CH{sub 2} and H{sub 2}O targets by the target nuclear fragment reaction using therapeutic MONO and SOBP proton beam

Journal Article Nishio, Teiji; Sato, Takashi; Kitamura, Hideaki; ... - Medical Physics

In proton radiotherapy, the irradiation dose can be concentrated on a tumor. To use this radiotherapy efficiently in the clinical field, it is necessary to evaluate the proton-irradiated area and condition. The proton-irradiated area can be confirmed by coincidence detection of pair annihilation gamma rays from {beta}{sup +} decayed nuclei generated by target nuclear fragment reaction of irradiated proton nuclei and nuclei in the irradiation target. In this study, we performed experiments of proton irradiation to a polyethylene (PE:CH{sub 2}) target containing {sup 12}C nuclei, which is a major component of the human body, and a gelatinous water (H{sub 2}O)more »« less

Activation cross section measurement of reactions producing short-lived nuclei at neutron energy between 13.4 MeV and 14.9 MeV

Conference Kasugai, Y; Yamamoto, H; Kawade, K; ...

Twelve cross sections for (n,2n), (n,p), (n,np) and (n,n{alpha}) reactions producing short-lived nuclei with half-lives between 15.8 s and 10.3 min have been measured in the energy range between 13.4 and 14.9 MeV by the activation method. The 14 MeV neutrons were generated by using FNS (Fusion Neutronics Source) facility at JAERI. The {gamma}-rays emitted from the irradiated samples were measured with high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors. The effective energy of incident neutrons were determined by the Nb/Zr method.
