Partial radiation widths

Transition probabilities for neutron capture y-rays. The multipole orders of the y-rays produced in direct transitions between the capturing state and the ground state can be inferred from the spins and parities of these states when these are known. As pointed out above, the transition probabilities of these y-rays can be deduced when the absolute intensities are known. There are few instances where sufficient data is available some examples are listed in Table 4. It will be seen that the partial radiation widths corresponding to the emission of these y-rays are roughly proportional to the level spacing in the vicinity of the initial state, a phenomenon predicted by Blatt and Weisskopf [4]. In general, the...

By comparing the intensities of the capture y-rays with y-rays of known intensity, e.g. those produced by radioactive decay induced by neutron capture, the absolute intensity of the capture y-rays were determined. The intensities of the y-rays emitted by the initial state expressed as the number of photons (I ) emitted per capture, can be translated immediately into transition probabilities, because if the total radiation width is Fy (which is never very different from 0.1 ev) the partial width of a y-ray, J, is given by r = I Fy,... 

The resonance data of the fertile isotopes are much better known than those of the fissile isotopes. This is because the former have rather widely spaced resonances, which do not overlap up to a few kiloelectron volts, and there are only two partial widths, T and T, and the radiation width varies very little. The data are best known for The most... 

Infrared radiation is incident on and passes through a substrate 12. The radiation is absorbed within an n-type absorbing layer 14a. The n-type layer is overlied by a p-type layer. The n-type layer and the p-type layer are divided into mesa structures 16, which have sub-mesa structures 16a and 16b each containing a portion of the p-type layer as a p-type cap layer 14b. Trenches 30 are etched or milled to a depth that extends completely through the p-type cap layer and partially into the n-type layer. The trench width is approximately 10 microns. Trench walls 32... 

Atomic absorption offers a more practical opportunity for determining isotopic composition than atomic emission. Useful reviews of the possibilities of the technique have appeared in two books [233, 234]. Isotopic analysis is in theory possible provided that highly enriched isotope sources are available, the absorption line width available is less than the isotopic displacement and for a given isotope the nuclear spin hyperfine components must be partially resolved from the other isotopic components of the absorption line. In the simplest possible case, for an element with two isotopes, the lamp is prepared from the first isotope and only this isotope in the atom cell will absorb the radiation. The procedure can then be repeated with a lamp prepared with the second isotope. Effectively this is an extension of the impressive selectivity of atomic absorption, because of the classic lock and key effect, treating the different isotopes as different analytes. 

In 1953 Dicke [18] proposed the use of an inert buffer gas such as helium to reduce the first order Doppler width of a radiating system by partially averaging the velocities when the times between collisions are short compared to the radiative lifetime.

It is instructive to compare these partial widths with the transition probabilities estimated by Weisskopf for the single particle model of the nucleus. For E radiation the partial width is estimated to be ...

The triangles in Fig. 7.2 represent data for linearly or partially polarized radiation, while the circle is for cross-polarized radiation (this is the one exception mentioned previously). The experimental measurements are consistent with the following interpretation. The laser output consists of a number of more-or-less independent Fabry-Perot modes which are changing during the pulse width due to heating of the laser junction 1.2A, The radiation may therefore be considered to behave as a Gaussian source with a coherence time rj (dv) 10 s. Since the intermediate-state lifetime for the doublequantum sodium photodetector is much shorter than the radiation coherence time, the irradiance fluctuations result in a factor of 2 enhancement of the single-beam photocurrents. As far as the irradiance cross-term is concerned. 

The first aim is to derive values for Mz, and the various partial widths by fitting (8.5.21) to the cross-section data near the Z peak, after correcting for soft photon radiation using a Monte Carlo approach. A fit to the s dependence of [Pg.142]

At the centre of the lonotron was a piece of metal foil that was impregnated with radium and then coated to trap emissions of radon gas. The foil was mounted in an aluminum housing, which provided shielding and directed the radiation. The lonotron could be fabricated in different sizes but was usually long and narrow. In a typical installation it would bridge the width of a conveyer belt at a distance from one to three inches over the moving material. Tariffs had a significant impact on how Eldorado structured its lonotron deal with U.S. Radium. After some discussions, customs allowed Eldorado to ship radium to the United States duty-free if it were destined to return to Canada as part of an lonotron. Still, Eldorado had to partially assemble the device to evade a Canadian tariff on a fully assembled product. ...
