Global frequency and intensity analysis of the / / / band system of 12 C 2 H 4 at 10 μm using the D 2h Top Data System
Abstract A global frequency and intensity analysis of the infrared tetrad of 12C2H4 located in the 600 – 1500 cm − 1 region was carried out using the tensorial formalism developed in Dijon for X2Y4 asymmetric-top molecules. It relied on spectroscopic information available in the literature and retrieved from high-resolution Fourier transform infrared spectra recorded in Brussels in the frame of either the present or previous work. In particular, 645 and 131 line intensities have been respectively measured for the weak ν10 and ν4 bands. Including the Coriolis interactions affecting the upper vibrational levels 101, 71, 41 and 121, a total of 10 757 line positions and 1645 line intensities ha…
The HITRAN2016 molecular spectroscopic database
This paper describes the contents of the 2016 edition of the HITRAN molecular spectroscopic compilation. The new edition replaces the previous HITRAN edition of 2012 and its updates during the intervening years. The HITRAN molecular absorption compilation is composed of five major components: the traditional line-by-line spectroscopic parameters required for high-resolution radiative-transfer codes, infrared absorption cross-sections for molecules not yet amenable to representation in a line-by-line form, collision-induced absorption data, aerosol indices of refraction, and general tables such as partition sums that apply globally to the data. The new HITRAN is greatly extended in terms of …
Infrared Spectroscopy of Ruthenium Tetroxide and High-resolution analysis of the v3 band
International audience
FRIPON: a worldwide network to track incoming meteoroids
Context. Until recently, camera networks designed for monitoring fireballs worldwide were not fully automated, implying that in case of a meteorite fall, the recovery campaign was rarely immediate. This was an important limiting factor as the most fragile - hence precious - meteorites must be recovered rapidly to avoid their alteration. Aims. The Fireball Recovery and InterPlanetary Observation Network (FRIPON) scientific project was designed to overcome this limitation. This network comprises a fully automated camera and radio network deployed over a significant fraction of western Europe and a small fraction of Canada. As of today, it consists of 150 cameras and 25 European radio receiver…
Sensing ruthenium tetroxide Emissions : a spectroscopic study
International audience; After the Fukushima accident, it became essential to have a way to monitor in real time the evolution of a nuclear reactor during a severe accident, in order to react efficiently and minimize the industrial, ecological and health consequences of the accident. Ruthenium is a low volatile fission product but in case of the rupture of the vessel lower head by the molten corium, the air entering into the vessel oxidizes Ru into a gaseous form RuO$_4$. To monitor the presence of RuO4 allows making a diagnosis of the core degradation and quantifying the potential release into the atmosphere. RuO$_4$ is of prime importance since it can have a significant radiological impact…
High-resolution infrared spectroscopy and analysis of the v2=v4 bending dyad and v3 stretching fundamental of ruthenium tetroxide
International audience; RuO4 is a heavy tetrahedral molecule which has practical uses for several industrial fields. Due to its chemicaltoxicity and the radiological impact of its 103 and 106 isotopologues, the possible remote sensing of this compound in theatmosphere has renewed interest in its spectroscopic properties. We investigate here for the first time at high resolutionthe bending dyad region in the far IR and the line intensities in the 3 stretching region. Firstly, new high resolutionFTIR spectra of the bending modes region in the far infrared have been recorded at room temperature, using a speciallyconstructed cell and an isotopically pure sample of 102RuO4. New assignments and e…
On-line measurements of RuO$_4$ during a PWR severe accident
International audience; After the Fukushima accident, it became essential to have a way to monitor in real time the evolution of a nuclear reactor during a severe accident, in order to react efficiently and minimize the industrial, ecological and health consequences of the accident. Among gaseous fission products, the tetroxide of ruthenium RuO$_4$ is of prime importance since it has a significant radiological impact. Ruthenium is a low volatile fission product but in case of the rupture of the lower head by the molten corium, the air entering into the vessel oxidizes Ru into gaseous RuO$_4$, which is not trapped by the Filtered Containment Venting Systems. To monitor the presence of RuO$_4…
