Million electron volts

From these various processes, one can separate at least three simple prototype pathways whereby the compound nucleus may get rid of its several million electron volts which constitute the neutron binding energy. These should encompass essentially all other possibilities, as far as chemical... [Pg.213]

The photoelectric effect is most predominant with low energy gammas and rarely occurs with gammas having an energy above 1 MeV (million electron volts). [Pg.30]

The energy of the process, about 200 mev (million electron volts) is out of all proportion to the energies of only 5 mev or so... [Pg.500]

To make comparisons among different nuclides easier, binding energies are usually expressed on a per-nucleon basis using electron volts (eV) as the energy unit, where 1 eV = 1.60 x 10 19 J and 1 million electron volts (1 MeV) = 1.60 X 10-13J. [Pg.963]

Cobalt-60 produces two gamma rays of 1.17 and 133 million electron volts (MeV). Up to 30 eV are required to rupture covalent bonds and to cause ionization. [Pg.313]

If mass is in grams and the velocity of light is expressed as c = 3 x 1010 cm sec-1, then the energy is in units of g cm2 sec-2, or ergs. A useful conversion is from mass in amu to energy in million electron volts (MeV) ... [Pg.105]

The energy of these emissions covers a wide range of values but is typically 190 million electron volts (MeV) for fission, 17 MeV for fusion, 5 MeV for alphas, 1 MeV for gammas, and 0.5 MeV for betas. The rate of radioactive decay is expressed through the half-life, the time required for the decay rate of the unstable nuclide to decrease by a factor of two. The half-lives range from less... [Pg.948]

Gamma rays are pure electromagnetic radiation with energy = (6.626 x 10 " joules/second-Planck s constant) (frequency of the radiation). Conventional units of radiation to be considered are one electron volt (eV) = 1.6 x 10 joules and one million electron volts (MeV) (Harley, 2001, 2008). [Pg.381]

When a proton and neutron combine, for example, the mass of the resulting deuteron is 0.00239 atomic mass unit less than the total mass of the proton and neutron combined. This loss of mass is expressed in the form of 2.23 MeV (million electron volts) of kinetic energy of the deuteron and other particles and as other forms of energy produced during the reaction. Nuclear fusion reactions are like nuclear fission reactions, therefore, in the respect that some quantity of mass is transformed into energy. [Pg.586]
