Evaporation residues produced in spallation of 208Pb by protons at 500A MeV
The production cross sections of fragmentation-evaporation residues in the
reaction Pb+p at 500A MeV have been measured using the inverse-kinematics
method and the FRS spectrometer (GSI). Fragments were identified in nuclear
charge using ionisation chambers. The mass identification was performed
event-by-event using the B-rho - TOF - Delta-E technique. Although
partially-unresolved ionic charge states induced an ambiguity on the mass of
some heavy fragments, production rates could be obtained with a high accuracy
by systematically accounting for the polluting ionic charge states. The
contribution of multiple reactions in the target was subtracted using a new,
partly self-consistent code. The isobaric distributions are found to have a
shape very close to the one observed in experiments at higher energy. Kinematic
properties of the fragments were also measured. The total and the isotopic
cross sections, including charge-pickup cross sections, are in good agreement
with previous measurements. The data are discussed in the light of previous
spallation measurements, especially on lead at 1 GeV

Fission-Residues Produced in the Spallation Reaction 238U+p at 1 A GeV
Fission fragments from 1 A GeV 238U projectiles irradiating a hydrogen target
were investigated by using the fragment separator FRS for magnetic selection of
reaction products including ray-tracing and DE-ToF techniques. The momentum
spectra of 733 identified fragments were analysed to provide isotopic
production cross sections, fission-fragment velocities and recoil momenta of
the fissioning parent nuclei. Besides their general relevance, these quantities
are also demanded for applications. Calculations and simulations with codes
commonly used and recently developed or improved are compared to the data.Comment: 60 pages, 21 figures, 4 tables, 2 appendices (15 pages
Spallation reactions. A successful interplay between modeling and applications
The spallation reactions are a type of nuclear reaction which occur in space
by interaction of the cosmic rays with interstellar bodies. The first
spallation reactions induced with an accelerator took place in 1947 at the
Berkeley cyclotron (University of California) with 200 MeV deuterons and 400
MeV alpha beams. They highlighted the multiple emission of neutrons and charged
particles and the production of a large number of residual nuclei far different
from the target nuclei. The same year R. Serber describes the reaction in two
steps: a first and fast one with high-energy particle emission leading to an
excited remnant nucleus, and a second one, much slower, the de-excitation of
the remnant. In 2010 IAEA organized a worskhop to present the results of the
most widely used spallation codes within a benchmark of spallation models. If
one of the goals was to understand the deficiencies, if any, in each code, one
remarkable outcome points out the overall high-quality level of some models and
so the great improvements achieved since Serber. Particle transport codes can
then rely on such spallation models to treat the reactions between a light
particle and an atomic nucleus with energies spanning from few tens of MeV up
to some GeV. An overview of the spallation reactions modeling is presented in
order to point out the incomparable contribution of models based on basic
physics to numerous applications where such reactions occur. Validations or
benchmarks, which are necessary steps in the improvement process, are also
addressed, as well as the potential future domains of development. Spallation
reactions modeling is a representative case of continuous studies aiming at
understanding a reaction mechanism and which end up in a powerful tool.Comment: 59 pages, 54 figures, Revie
Modelo de estimación del nivel de seguridad en redes inalámbricas que utilizan tecnología Wi-Fi.
Con el propósito de estimar los niveles de seguridad en las redes inalámbricas que utilizan tecnología Wi-Fi, se realizó un recorrido por las principales avenidas del distrito de Santiago de Veraguas, aplicando la técnica de WarDriving y la herramienta NetStumbler, para escanear las redes inalámbricas. Esta exploración fue realizada durante 4 semanas, entre los meses de enero a marzo de 2017. Para el análisis de los puntos de acceso (AP), se propone un modelo de estimación de los niveles de seguridad, el cual está basado en los siguientes criterios: confidencialidad, autentificación, integridad, disponibilidad y no repudio. Estos criterios presentan indicadores que permiten cuantificarlos. Los resultados de la estimación de los niveles de seguridad en redes W-Fi analizados con el modelo propuesto, muestran que el 33% está en un nivel “muy bajo”, un 64% tienen un nivel “bajo” y el 3% observan un nivel “muy alto”

Production rates and proton-induced production cross sections of 129I from Te and Ba: An attempt to model the 129I production in stony meteoroids and 129I in a Knyahinya sample
Proton-induced production cross sections of 129I from Te and Ba are presented. Earlier assumptions that Te is the most important target element in meteoroids are confirmed. Based on this data set and the experimental production rates of 129I from thick-target experiments, the production of 129I in stony meteoroids is modeled using a GCR flux density of 4.06 cm^(-2) s^(-1). The results of this modeling must be considered preliminary because the contribution from neutron capture on 128Te needs further investigation. We obtained modeled production rates that agree with experimental results for samples from two medium-sized meteorites (Abee and Knyahinya). However, we find that this model does not describe 41Ca in lunar rocks well and seems to overestimate 129I production in larger bodies, such as Allende. We present elemental production rates from Te and Ba based on our modeling as well as for a model that describes neutron capture products. For 129I analysis of Knyahinya, a novel method to separate Te and analysis using ICP-MS was used, enabling the use of experimental elemental concentrations obtained from the same meteorite to calculate 129I production.The Meteoritics & Planetary Science archives are made available by the Meteoritical Society and the University of Arizona Libraries.

Production rates and proton-induced production cross sections of <sup>129</sup>I from Te and Ba: An attempt to model the <sup>129</sup>I production in stony meteorites and <sup>129</sup>I in a Knyahinya sample
Proton-induced production cross sections of I-129 from Te and Ba are presented. Earlier assumptions that Te is the most important target element in meteoroids are confirmed. Based on this data set and the experimental production rates of I-129 from thick-target experiments, the production of I-129 in stony meteoroids is modeled using a GCR flux density of 4.06 cm(-2) s(-1). The results of this modeling must be considered preliminary because the contribution from neutron capture on Te-128 needs further investigation. We obtained modeled production rates that agree with experimental results for samples from two medium-sized meteorites (Abee and Knyahinya). However, we find that this model does not describe Ca-41 in lunar rocks well and seems to overestimate I-129 production in larger bodies, such as Allende. We present elemental production rates from Te and Ba based on our modeling as well as for a model that describes neutron capture products. For I-129 analysis of Knyahinya, a novel method to separate Te and analysis using ICP-MS was used, enabling the use of experimental elemental concentrations obtained from the same meteorite to calculate I-129 production
Proton-induced production cross-sections and production rates of Ca-41 from Ni
Proton-induced production cross-sections of Ca-41 from Ni are presented. Moreover, depth-dependent production rates of Ca-41 from Ni were determined in a meteoroid simulation experiment. Based on these data, modelled production rates of Ca-41 from Ni in iron meteoroids are presented as a function of depth and size. These data are relevant for modelling the production rate ratio of Ca-41/Cl-36 in metal phases of meteoroids and thus for the application of the Ca-41-Cl-36 method to determine terrestrial ages of meteorites
