Measurements of charge state distributions of 0.74 and 1.4 MeV/u heavy ions passing through dilute gases
2017
In many modern heavy-ion accelerator facilities, gas strippers are used to increase the projectile charge state for improving the acceleration efficiency of ion beams to higher energies. For this application, the knowledge on the behavior of charge state distributions of heavy-ions after passing through dilute gases is of special interest. Charge state distributions of uranium ($^{238}\mathrm{U}$), bismuth ($^{209}\mathrm{Bi}$), titanium ($^{50}\mathrm{Ti}$), and argon ($^{40}\mathrm{Ar}$) ion beams with energies of $0.74\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}/\mathrm{u}$ and $1.4\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}/\mathrm{u}$ after passing through hydrogen (${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$), helium (He), carbon dioxide (${\mathrm{CO}}_{…
The horizontal drift chambers for the focal plane proton-polarimeter of the 3-spectrometer setup at MAMI
2002
Abstract Large-area horizontal drift chambers have been built for use in a proton polarimeter. A gas mixture of 20% argon and 80% ethane is used. The left–right assignment is achieved by measuring the difference of the signals induced on neighboring potential wires. A spatial resolution of 300 μm is achieved.
Winkelverteilungen elastisch an Edelgas-Atomstrahlen gestreuter Elektronen; Spinpolarisation eines an Argon gestreuten 40 eV-Elektronenstrahls
1967
The angular distribution of electrons scattered elastically by rare-gas atomic beams (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe) has been investigated over the angular range from 20° to 155° and with electron energies between 5 eV and 1000 eV. The results are compared with theory. Only for energies above 300 eV the agreement is good. The angular dependence of polarization P(Θ) of electrons, elastically scattered by a beam of argon atoms, is measured in a double scattering experiment for an electron energy of 40 eV. Maximum degree of polarization measured isP=12.5% ± 2.5%.
Direct mass measurements of unstable rare earth isotopes with the ISOLTRAP mass spectrometer
1996
Abstract Direct mass measurements of neutron deficient rare earth isotopes in the vicinity of 146 Gd were performed for the first time with the Penning trap mass spectrometer ISOLTRAP at ISOLDE/CERN. Since ISOL-facilities deliver these isotopes with a large amount of isobaric contamination, these measurements became possible only after the installation of a new cooler trap which acts as an isobar separator. To date more than 40 isotopes of the elements Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Dy, and Ho have been measured with a typical accuracy of δm ≈ 14 keV. Some of these isotopes provide an important anchor for many other isotopes linked by known Q-values.
Liquid argon calorimeter performance at high rates
2012
Abstract We project the performance of the ATLAS liquid argon endcap and forward calorimeters at the planned high luminosity LHC option HL-LHC by exposing small calorimeter modules of the electromagnetic, hadronic, and forward calorimeters to high intensity beams at IHEP/Protvino. The beam intensity extends well beyond the maximum expected for these calorimeters at HL-LHC. The signal reconstruction and calorimeter performance have been studied in full detail.
Nuclear moments and charge radii of argon isotopes between the neutron-shell closures and
2008
We report the measurement of optical isotope shifts for 40−44 Ar relative to 38 Ar from which changes in the mean square nuclear charge radii across the 1f7/2 neutron shell are deduced. In addition, the hyperfine structure of 41 Ar and 43 Ar yields the spins, magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments, in particular the spin I = 5/2 for 43 Ar. The investigations were carried out by fast-beam collinear laser spectroscopy using highly sensitive detection based on optical pumping and state-selective collisional ionization. Mean square charge radii are now known from 32 Ar to 46 Ar, covering sd-shell as well as f7/2-shell nuclei. They are discussed in the framework of spherical SGII Skyrme…
Gamow-Teller transitions in theA=40isoquintet of relevance for neutrino captures inAr40
2014
Background: The Gamow-Teller response of $^{40}\mathrm{Ar}$ is important for the use of liquid argon as a medium for neutrino detection. An ambiguity about the Gamow-Teller strength for the excitation of ${1}^{+}$ states at 2290 and 2730 keV in $^{40}\mathrm{K}$ results in a significant uncertainty for neutrino capture rates. This ambiguity is caused by the large discrepancy observed between strengths extracted from $^{40}\mathrm{Ar}$($p$, $n$) charge-exchange data and the transition strengths for the analog transitions studied in the $\ensuremath{\beta}$ decay of $^{40}\mathrm{Ti}$.Purpose: This study was aimed at resolving the ambiguity between the results from the $^{40}\mathrm{Ar}$($p$,…
Theoretical uncertainties on quasielastic charged-current neutrino–nucleus cross sections
2006
We estimate the theoretical uncertainties of the model developed in Phys. Rev. C70 055503 for inclusive quasielastic charged-current neutrino-nucleus reactions at intermediate energies. Besides we quantify the deviations of the predictions of this many body framework from those obtained within a simple Fermi gas model. An special attention has been paid to the ratio \sigma(\mu)/\sigma(e) of interest for experiments on atmospheric neutrinos. We show that uncertainties affecting this ratio are likely smaller than 5%
Nachweis der Mehrfachemission von Sekund�relektronen mittels Proportionalz�hlrohr
1965
A proportional counter is used as analyser for electron energies (in the range 10 to 20 keV). The resolving power for 20 keV is 21%. The multiple emission of secondary electrons is investigated with this counter.
Laser driven X-ray parametric amplification in neutral gases—a new brilliant light source in the XUV
2011
Abstract In this paper we present the experimental setup and results showing a new type of strong-field parametric amplification of high-order harmonic radiation. With a simple semi-classical model, we can identify the most important experimental parameters, the spectral range and the small signal gain in gases. Using a single stage amplifier, a small signal gain of 8000 has been obtained in argon for the spectral range of 40–50 eV, using 350 fs, 7 mJ pulses at 1.05 μm. An outlook for an experiment employing a double stage gas system will be given.
