Parity Mixed Doublets in A = 36 Nuclei

The $\gamma$-circular polarizations ($P_{\gamma}$) and asymmetries ($A_{\gamma}$) of the parity forbidden M1 + E2 $\gamma$-decays: $^{36}Cl^{\ast} (J^{\pi} = 2^{-}; T = 1; E_{x} = 1.95$ MeV) $\rightarrow$ $^{36}Cl (J^{\pi} = 2^{+}; T = 1; g.s.)$ and $^{36}Ar^{\ast} (J^{\pi} = 2^{-}; T = 0; E_{x} = 4.97$ MeV) $\rightarrow$ $^{36}Ar^{\ast} (J^{\pi} = 2^{+}; T = 0; E_{x} = 1.97$ MeV) are investigated theoretically. We use the recently proposed Warburton-Becker-Brown shell-model interaction. For the weak forces we discuss comparatively different weak interaction models based on different assumptions for evaluating the weak meson-hadron coupling constants. The results determine a range of $P_{\gamma}$ values from which we find the most probable values: $P_{\gamma}$ = $1.1 \cdot 10^{-4}$ for $^{36}Cl$ and $P_{\gamma}$ = $3.5 \cdot 10^{-4}$ for $^{36}Ar$.Comment: RevTeX, 17 pages; to appear in Phys.

Cleveland Police Report, December 11, 1954, Detective Pete Decker describes the questioning of Sam Sheppard on July 31, 1954 in the Cuyahoga County Jail

On July 31, 1954, Cleveland Police Detective Pete J. Becker was told by Detective Harold Lockwood that Sam was refusing to answer questions relative to the night of the murder. Becker was told by Lockwood that he and Detective Lonchar should try to make Sam as angry as possible in his questioning and then Lockwood would relieve them and use a different interview approach

X-rays from Supernova Remnants

A summary of X-ray observations of supernova remnants is presented including the explosion fragment A of the Vela SNR, Tycho, N132D, RX J0852-4622, the Crab Nebula and the 'bulls eye', and SN 1987A, high-lighting the progress made with Chandra and XMM-Newton and touching upon the questions which arise from these observations and which might inspire future research.Comment: 13 pages, 18 figures.

Surface electrons at plasma walls

In this chapter we introduce a microscopic modelling of the surplus electrons on the plasma wall which complements the classical description of the plasma sheath. First we introduce a model for the electron surface layer to study the quasistationary electron distribution and the potential at an unbiased plasma wall. Then we calculate sticking coefficients and desorption times for electron trapping in the image states. Finally we study how surplus electrons affect light scattering and how charge signatures offer the possibility of a novel charge measurement for dust grains.Comment: To appear in Complex Plasmas: Scientific Challenges and Technological Opportunities, Editors: M.
