Digestão de óleo lubrificante encapsulado em forno de microondas com radiação focalizada por adição de amostra ao reagente pré-aquecido.
FOCUSED-MICROWAVE-ASSISTED DIGESTION OF ENCAPSULATED LUBRICATING OILS: GRADUAL SAMPLEADDITION TO PRE-HEATED ACID. The applicability of the recently proposed procedure based on gradual sample addition tomicrowave-assisted pre-heated concentrated acid is limited by the sample viscosity. In this work, lubricating oil samples with high viscositywere encapsulated and manually added to the microwave-assisted pre-heated concentrated digestion mixture. The procedure was appliedfor determination of Al, Ca, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Ni, P, Pb, Si, Sn, Sr, V, W, and Zn in lubricating oil by inductively coupled plasma opticalemission spectrometry (ICP OES). Determined and certified values for Ca, Mg, P, and Zn in lubricating oil were in agreement at a 95% confidence level

New detectors for the kaon and hypernuclear experiments with KaoS at MAMI and with PANDA at GSI
The KaoS spectrometer at the Mainz Microtron MAMI, Germany, is perceived as
the ideal candidate for a dedicated spectrometer in kaon and hypernuclei
electroproduction. KaoS will be equipped with new read-out electronics, a
completely new focal plane detector package consisting of scintillating fibres,
and a new trigger system. First prototypes of the fibre detectors and the
associated new front-end electronics are shown in this contribution. The Mainz
hypernuclei research program will complement the hypernuclear experiments at
the planned FAIR facility at GSI, Germany. At the proposed antiproton storage
ring the spectroscopy of double Lambda hypernuclei is one of the four main
topics which will be addressed by the PANDA Collaboration. The experiments
require the operation of high purity germanium (HPGe) detectors in high
magnetic fields (B= 1T) in the presence of a large hadronic background. The
performance of high resolution Ge detectors in such an environment has been
investigated.Comment: Presentation at International Symposium on the Development of

Hypernuclear spectroscopy with K at rest on Li, Be, C and O
The FINUDA experiment collected data to study the production of hypernuclei
on different nuclear targets. The hypernucleus formation occurred through the
strangeness-exchange reaction K^-_{stop} + \; ^AZ \rightarrow \; ^A_{\Lambda}Z
+ \pi^-. From the analysis of the momentum of the emerging , binding
energies and formation probabilities of Li, Be,
C and O have been measured and are here
presented. The behavior of the formation probability as a function of the
atomic mass number A is also discussed.Comment: Accepted for publication in PL
First determination of the one-proton induced Non-Mesonic Weak Decay width of p-shell {\Lambda}-Hypernuclei
Previous studies of proton and neutron spectra from Non-Mesonic Weak Decay of
eight Lambda-Hypernuclei (A = 5-16) have been revisited. New values of the
ratio of the two-nucleon and the one-proton induced decay widths,
Gamma_2N/Gamma_p, are obtained from single proton spectra, Gamma_2N/Gamma_p =
0.50 +/- 0.24, and from neutron and proton coincidence spectra,
Gamma_2N/Gamma_p = 0.36 +/- 0.14stat +0.05sys -0.04sys , in full agreement with
previously published ones. With these values, a method is developed to extract
the one-proton induced decay width in units of the free Lambda decay width,
Gamma_p/Gamma_Lambda, without resorting to Intra Nuclear Cascade models but by
exploiting only experimental data, under the assumption of a linear dependence
on A of the Final State Interaction contribution. This is the first systematic
determination ever done and it agrees within the errors with recent theoretical
calculations.Comment: 16 pages, 3 figures, 2 table
emission rates in absorptions at rest on Li, Li, Be, C and O
An experimental study of the reaction
on Li, Li, Be, C and O -shell nuclei is
presented. The data were collected by the FINUDA spectrometer operating at the
DANE -factory (LNF-INFN, Italy). Emission rates for the reaction in
the mentioned nuclei are measured and compared with the few existing data. The
spectra of several observables are discussed; indications of Quasi-Free
absorptions by a pair embedded in the nucleus can be obtained from
the study of the missing mass distributions.Comment: Version accepted by PR
Critical Review of Theoretical Models for Anomalous Effects (Cold Fusion) in Deuterated Metals
We briefly summarize the reported anomalous effects in deuterated metals at
ambient temperature, commonly known as "Cold Fusion" (CF), with an emphasis on
important experiments as well as the theoretical basis for the opposition to
interpreting them as cold fusion. Then we critically examine more than 25
theoretical models for CF, including unusual nuclear and exotic chemical
hypotheses. We conclude that they do not explain the data.Comment: 51 pages, 4 Figure
