High-resolution scattering experiments at the K130 cyclotron in Jyväskylä
2018
Abstract An experimental setup for nuclear reaction studies induced by light and heavy ions is described. It consists of a versatile Large Scattering Chamber equipped with two rotating tables for mounting detectors. A dedicated beam diagnostic system is used to monitor the energy spectrum of the beam on target. The system provides the necessary feedback for tuning of the K-130 cyclotron to reduce the energy spread of the accelerated beam by at least a factor of 3 down to about 0.3% of the nominal energy while maintaining beam currents around 20 pnA. At lower beam currents a 0.1% energy spread can be achieved. This improvement makes a significant impact on the scope of reaction studies possi…
Kinematical coincidence method in transfer reactions
2013
A new method to extract high resolution angular distributions from kinematical coincidence measurements in binary reactions is presented. Kinematic is used to extract the center of mass angular distribution from the measured energy spectrum of light particles. Results obtained in the case of 10Be+p-->9Be+d reaction measured with the CHIMERA detector are shown. An angular resolution of few degrees in the center of mass is obtained.
One-nucleon transfer reactions induced by 32S on 34S AT Einc = 90.0 and 97.09 MeV
1983
Abstract The one-proton and one-neutron transfer reactions in the interaction of 34 S with incident 32 S were studied in the 0–3.5 MeV excitation energy range of the exit nuclei. The experimental set-up (kinematic identification technique, implanted targets, etc.) has allowed an angular resolution of 0.2°, a mass resolution of 1.5% and a Q -value resolution of 0.35 MeV. Comparison with DWBA computations using an analytical approximation for the radial integral, with insertion of suitable recoil corrections, demonstrates the absorptive direct mechanisms of the reactions, even when double excitation of residual nuclei is present. The extracted values for the products of spectroscopic factors …
Deeply bound pionic atoms with resonant Compton scattering
1993
Abstract We study the contribution to ordinary Compton nuclear scattering of the resonant channel γ + A → (A′ π − ) → γ + A with the π − bound in the nucleus. We show that the interference of this resonant channel with background amplitudes produces significant peaks in the elastic backward differential cross section as a function of the incoming photon energy for light and medium-size nuclei. We also find that for light nuclei the signals in forward Compton scattering or in the total photonuclear cross section are big enough to be observed, provided there is a good resolution in the photon beam. The reaction is particularly suited to find deeply bound pionic states in medium-size nuclei, o…
High Resolution Dispersion Modeling near Tunnel Exits
1996
This contribution is concerned with a critical problem which usually occurs at motortraffic tunnels within towns. All exhaust gases accumulating along the entire tunnel distance readily leave the tunnel exits in a very concentrated form. Since modern urban traffic management affords more and more tunnel constructions within highly built-up areas, a reliable calculation of the resulting immission distribution in the neighbourhood of tunnel exits is of great importance.
Untargeted metabolomics of fresh and heat treatment Tiger nut ( Cyperus esculentus L. ) milks reveals further insight into food quality and nutrition
2017
Tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus L.) is a crop traditionally grown in Valencia Region (Spain) and other temperate and tropical regions in the world, where its tubers are commonly consumed as tiger nut milk (horchata). Because of their nutritive potential and original taste, these products are beginning to spread internationally and, as consequence, analytical procedures to assess nutritional profiles, quality control issues are acquiring increasing relevance. The main objective of this study was to use an advance analytical method and chemometrics tools to determine if the ultra-high temperature (UHT) treatment necessary to extend the shelf life of tiger nut milk would affect the profile of nu…
The synergy of water quality and sea surface currents data in determining the spatio-temporal evolution of large-scale circulation features
2014
Chlorophyll-a (CHL-a) and Sea Surface Temperature (SST), amongst others, are proxies or indicators for water quality and can be easily retrieved synoptically and almost in near-real time through satellite remote-sensing. However, as they evolve in space and time in response to winds and currents, a full resolution of the temporal and spatial scales of these latters is required and their influence in shaping the distribution of water quality parameters needs to be assessed. While providing synoptic views and revealing mesoscale features, satellites suffer, indeed, from inadequate representation of sub-grid physical processes and lack of temporal resolution. Conventional point-wise measuremen…
A reliable screening of mycotoxins and pesticide residues in paprika using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution Or…
2016
Abstract In this study, an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled to a high resolution Orbitrap mass spectrometry (Orbitrap-HRMS) was demonstrated as a promising technique in high-throughput method development for the routine analysis and contamination control of mycotoxins and pesticide residues in spices. The method was applied for the analysis of fifty ground paprika samples containing blends of sweet and hot paprika harvested in Brazil and China. The efficiency and detection sensitivity of the used UHPLC-Orbitrap-HRMS technique were compared to the results obtained using a triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometric detector (UHPLC-QqQ-MS/MS). The values of recover…
Mass spectrometry strategies for mycotoxins analysis in European beers
2013
In this work, an existent solid-phase extraction (SPE) procedure was used to study the occurrence of mycotoxins in different European beers. HPLC-QqQ-MS/MS and ultra high resolution mass analyser have been optimized for the analysis of 18 mycotoxins: the methods were validated according to the EU Commission Decision 2002/657/EC guidelines. In this sense, matrix-matched calibration was performed for each type of beer, obtaining an effective quantification. The recoveries ranged from 63 to 91% and repeatability and reproducibility expressed as relative standard deviation (RSD%) were lower than 17%. On one hand, HPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap ® was used for unambiguous identification of target mycotoxins, …
Maximum and Actual Evapotranspiration for Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) through NOAA Satellite Images in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain
1996
Abstract An easy-to-follow methodology is developed for the assessment of regional evapotranspiration in Castilla-La Mancha, a semi-arid region of Spain. The methodology is applied to barley crops to monitor the irrigation scheduling over the region, by using remote sensing techniques supplemented by ground measurements. The methodology can be based on either of two models. In the first one, established by Caselles and Delegido, 1 the reference evapotranspiration, ET o , derives from the expression ET o = AR g (T a ) m a x + BR g + C where A, B and C are empirical coefficients, depending on climatic parameters and determined for each region; R g is the daily global radiation; and ( T a ) m …
