Status and perspectives of atomic physics research at GSI
2003
A short overview on the results of atomic physics research at the storage ring ESR is given followed by a presentation of the envisioned atomic physics program at the planned new GSI facility. The proposed new GSI facility will provide highest intensities of relativistic beams of both stable and unstable heavy nuclei - up to a Lorentz factor of 24. At those relativistic velocities, the energies of optical transitions, such as for lasers.. are boosted into the X-ray region and the high-charge state ions generate electric and magnetic fields of exceptional strength. Together with high beam intensities a range of important experiments can be anticipated, for example electronic transitions in r…
57Fe and119Sn Mössbauer investigations on some substituted barium hexaferrites
1994
57Fe and119Sn Mossbauer measurements have been carried out on powder samples of three differently substituted M-type barium hexaferrites. By57Fe Mossbauer measurements in an external magnetic field applied parallel to the γ-ray direction, we found a canted spin structure for all samples. Furthermore, we detected a strong preference of the Sn4+ ions for the 4f2 sites. From57Fe Mossbauer measurements aboveT N, we conclude that the substitution does not influence the 2b sites. The analysis of the magnetically split119Sn Mossbauer spectra at room temperature in the case of the Co-Sn and Zn-Sn substituted samples shows a strong difference between the two. The spectra were interpreted due to the …
A Time Projection Chamber with GEM-Based Readout
2016
For the International Large Detector concept at the planned International Linear Collider, the use of time projection chambers (TPC) with micro-pattern gas detector readout as the main tracking detector is investigated. In this paper, results from a prototype TPC, placed in a 1 T solenoidal field and read out with three independent GEM-based readout modules, are reported. The TPC was exposed to a 6 GeV electron beam at the DESY II synchrotron. The efficiency for reconstructing hits, the measurement of the drift velocity, the space point resolution and the control of field inhomogeneities are presented.
Bulk micromegas detectors for large TPC applications
2007
A large volume TPC will be used in the near future in a variety of experiments including T2K. The bulk Micromegas detector for this TPC is built using a novel production technique particularly suited for compact and robust low mass detectors. The capability to pave a large surface with a simple mounting solution and small dead space between modules is of particular interest for these applications. We have buil t several large bulk Micromegas detectors (27x26 cm 2 ) and we have tested them in the former HARP field cage setup wit h a magnetic field. Cosmic ray data have been acquired in a variet y of experimental conditions. Good detector performances and space point resolution have been achi…
57Co emission studies of cupric oxide
1990
Results on the incorporation, valence and spin states of Fe(Co) in CuO (with reference to similar studies on high temperature superconductors) and coupling of the Fe(Co) moment to the Cu magnetism in CuO are presented. Freshly prepared57Co: CuO shows two quadrupole doublets D1 and D2 withQ.S. of 2.49 and 1.52,I.S. of 0.35 and 0.70 mm/s and relative abundance of 74% and 26%, respectively at room temperature, the abundance being dependent on time in a sample exposed to ambient conditions and reaching 38 to 62% fifteen months after preparation. Below,TN=2251K, a typical combined magnetic-quadrupole interaction pattern is observed with a single saturation magnetic hfs of 25.6 T, central shift o…
Systematic T1 improvement for hyperpolarized 129xenon
2015
The spin-lattice relaxation time T1 of hyperpolarized (HP)-(129)Xe was improved at typical storage conditions (i.e. low and homogeneous magnetic fields). Very long wall relaxation times T(1)(wall) of about 18 h were observed in uncoated, spherical GE180 glass cells of ∅=10 cm which were free of rubidium and not permanently sealed but attached to a standard glass stopcock. An "aging" process of the wall relaxation was identified by repeating measurements on the same cell. This effect could be easily removed by repeating the initial cleaning procedure. In this way, a constant wall relaxation was ensured. The Xe nuclear spin-relaxation rate 1/T1(Xe-Xe) due to van der Waals molecules was invest…
ISTTOK tokamak plasmas influence on a liquid gallium jet dynamic behavior
2011
Abstract The main concern in using free flowing liquid metals in fusion devices is related to their interaction with magnetic fields. On ISTTOK tokamak, liquid gallium jets are injected deep into the plasma along a vertical direction. The influence of the plasma interaction on the jet has been investigated monitoring the liquid metal behavior using a fast frame camera. A radial shift on its trajectory has been detected and found to depend on the toroidal magnetic field magnitude and principally on the plasma position within the chamber. The analysis performed to understand the dynamics of the jet perturbation by the plasma is presented in this paper. The jet surface temperature increase dur…
Magnetic resonance imaging of (1)H long lived states derived from parahydrogen induced polarization in a clinical system.
2015
Hyperpolarization is a powerful tool to overcome the low sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). However, applications are limited due to the short lifetime of this non equilibrium spin state caused by relaxation processes. This issue can be addressed by storing hyperpolarization in slowly decaying singlet spin states which was so far mostly demonstrated for non-proton spin pairs, e.g. 13C-13C. Protons hyperpolarized by parahydrogen induced polarization (PHIP) in symmetrical molecules, are very well suited for this strategy because they naturally exhibit a long-lived singlet state. The conversion of the NMR silent singlet spin state to observable magnetization can be achieved by ma…
Magnetic field effect on the corrosion processes at the Eurofer–Pb–17Li flow interface
2015
Abstract Structural and elemental analyses of the RAFM steel (EUROFER 97) interface with flowing Pb–17Li eutectic (velocity 5 cm/s at 550 °C, 1000 h) under the action of a strong magnetic field (B = 1.7 T) were performed using optical microscopy, SEM, confocal microscopy, precision micro-hardness methods, SIMS and point or line-scan EDX analyses. The results show that the magnetic field induces a faster crushing of martensite into the grains, a deeper dissolution of grain boundaries, an enhancement of the Fe and Cr mass transfer and a fast detachment of corrosion layers due to MHD effects.
High homogeneity permanent magnet for diamond magnetometry
2020
Abstract Halbach magnets are a source of homogeneous magnetic field in an enclosed volume while keeping stray fields at a minimum. Here, we present the design, construction, and characterization for a stack of two Halbach rings with 10 cm inner diameter providing a homogeneous ( 100 ppm over 1.0 × 1.0 × 0.5 cm 3 ) magnetic field of around 105 mT, which will be used for a diamond based microwave-free widefield imaging setup. The final characterization is performed with a novel fiberized diamond-based sensor on a 3D translation stage documenting the high homogeneity of the constructed Halbach array and its suitability for the proposed use.
