Parameter Assessment of Beam Transport Line for Nuclear Physics Research
The IBA CP30 cyclotron was installed at the 108 Central Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam. A proton beam with energy range from 15 to 30 MeV can be delivered by this facility. Currently, facility is mainly used for medical radioactive isotope production. There is an idea to use this accelerator for scientific research as well. For this purpose, a new beam line should be designed. A high energy resolution with minimum momentum spread is a key point for designing. A preliminary design of the beam line using matrix codes, modeling 3D optical elements, magnetic field calculations, and beam dynamics analysis is presented in this paper
Selective dilution and magnetic properties of La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}Mn_{1-x}M'_xO_3 (M' = Al, Ti)
The magnetic lattice of mixed-valence Mn ions in LaSrMnO
is selectively diluted by partial substitution of Mn by Al or Ti. The
ferromagnetic transition temperature and the saturation moment decreases with
substitution in both series. The volume fraction of the non-ferromagnetic
phases evolves non-linearly with the substitution concentration and faster than
theoretically expected. By presenting the data in terms of selective dilutions,
the reduction of is found to be scaled by the relative ionic
concentrations and is consistent with a prediction derived from molecular-field
theory.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures, REVTex4.0. Submitted to PR
Statistical Analsysis to Evaluate Heavy Metal Pollution in the Air Obatained by Moss Technique in Hanoi and its Surrounding Region
The aim of this paper was the application of statistical analysis including principal component analysis to evaluate heavy metal pollution obtained by moss technique in the air of Ha Noi and its surrounding areas and to evaluate potential pollution sources. The concentrations of 33 heavy metal elements in 27 samples of Barbula Indica moss in the investigated region collected in December of 2016 in the investigated area have been examined using multivariate statistical analysis. Five factors explaining 80% of the total variance were identified and their potential sources have been discussed
Short range ferromagnetism and spin glass state in
Dynamic magnetic properties of are
reported. The system appears to attain local ferromagnetic order at
K. Below this temperature the low field
magnetization becomes history dependent, i.e. the zero field cooled (ZFC) and
field cooled (FC) magnetization deviate from each other and closely logarithmic
relaxation appears at our experimental time scales (0.3- sec). The zero
field cooled magnetization has a maximum at K,
whereas the field cooled magnetization continues to increase, although less
sharply, also below this temperature. Surprisingly, the dynamics of the system
shows non-equilibrium spin glass (SG) features not only below the maximum in
the ZFC magnetization, but also in the temperature region between this maximum
and . The aging and temperature cycling experiments show only
quantitative differences in the dynamic behavior above and below the maximum in
the ZFC-magnetization; similarly, memory effects are observed in both
temperature regions. We attribute the high temperature behavior to the
existence of clusters of short range ferromagnetic order below
; the configuration evolves into a conventional spin glass
state at temperatures below .Comment: REVTeX style; 8 pages, 8 figure
ss-Delayed One and Two Neutron Emission Probabilities South-East of Sn-132 and the Odd-Even Systematics in r-Process Nuclide Abundances
ß-delayed neutron emission of r-process nuclei at the N=82 shell closure
Theoretical models of ß-delayed neutron emission are used as crucial inputs in r-process calculations. Benchmarking the predictions of these models is a challenge due to a lack of currently available experimental data. In this work the ß-delayed neutron emission probabilities of 33 nuclides in the important mass regions south and south-west of 132Sn are presented, 16 for the first time. The measurements were performed at RIKEN using the Advanced Implantation Detector Array (AIDA) and the BRIKEN neutron detector array. The values presented constrain the predictions of theoretical models in the region, affecting the final abundance distribution of the second r-process peak at .Peer ReviewedArticle signat per 58 autors/es

Observation of a mu s isomer in In-134(49)85: Proton-neutron coupling "southeast" of Sn-132(50)82
We report on the observation of a microsecond isomeric state in the single-proton-hole, three-neutron-particle nucleus ¹³⁴In. The nuclei of interest were produced by in-flight fission of a ²³⁸U beam at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory at RIKEN. The isomer depopulates through a γ ray of energy 56.7(1) keV and with a half-life of T1/2=3.5(4)μs. Based on the comparison with shell-model calculations, we interpret the isomer as the Iπ=5− member of the π0g−19/2⊗ν1f37/2 multiplet, decaying to the Iπ=7− ground state with a reduced-transition probability of B(E2;5−→7−)=0.53(6)W.u.Observation of this isomer, and lack of evidence in the current work for a Iπ=5− isomer decay in ¹³²In, provides a benchmark of the proton-neutron interaction in the region of the nuclear chart “southeast” of ¹³²Sn, where experimental information on excited states is sparse
Thermodynamics of strain-induced crystallization in filled natural rubber under uni- and biaxial loadings, Part II: Physically-based constitutive theory
International audienceTo understand thoroughly the strain-induced crystallization in natural rubbers, conventional mechanical measurements are inadequate because they only provide a macroscopic relation between stress and strain. In this second part, a physically-based constitutive model for filled natural rubbers is coupled with the infrared thermography-based quantitative surface calorimetry (Part I) to shed new light on multiaxiality of strain-induced crystallization. In contrast to previous works, the kinetics of phase transition outside thermodynamic equilibrium is discussed. By introducing only two additional parameters (compared to the equilibrium crystallization theory), underlying mechanisms of nonequilibrium strain-induced crystallization can be well interpreted. To capture multiaxiality of strain-induced crystallinity, the analytical network averaging is utilized for the calculation of kinematic internal variables. Model predictions are then compared with comprehensive testing data (Part I) and demonstrate good agreement with these experiments
