New neutron-rich isotopes of astatine and bismuth
1989
Neutron-rich isotopes of astatine have been produced through spallation reactions with 600 MeV protons on a232Th target and identified by spectroscopic techniques combined with one-line mass separation at the ISOLDE facility. The half-lives of218At and219At have been remeasured to be 1.5(3) s and 57(4) s, respectively. Four new isotopes of astatine,220−223At, have been observed for the first time, and their half-lives were found to be 3.73(13) min, 2.3(2) min, 54(10) s, and 50(7) s, respectively. Another nuclide,216Bi, has been observed for the first time as the daughter product of the220At alpha decay, and its half-life has been measured to be 6.6(21) min.

Simulation of abrasion–corrosion at high temperatures by in situ pulsed laser spallation of oxide films
1999
Abstract A pulsed Nd:YAG laser combined with a thermogravimetric cell has been used to spall in situ the oxide films grown on a Fe–2.25Cr–1Mo steel at high temperature in oxidizing media. This technique allows to define the oxidation rate of bare metal surfaces, which can be used to simulate the corrosion-dominated regime during slurry–erosion tests.
Frontiers of Heavy - Ion Physics and Superheavy Elements
2003
This contribution will focus on three topics of GSI nuclear structure research: super heavy elements, direct mass measurements in the storage ring, and the measurement of spallation cross section in reversed kinematics. The GSI project for an extended synchrotron facility will be outlined.
Rare earths, zirconium and hafnium distribution in coastal areas: The example of Sabella spallanzanii (Gmelin, 1791)
2016
The Zr, Hf, Y and lanthanide (REE) distribution in biological tissues of Sabella spallanzanii and Styela plicata species collected from two harbours from the northern Sicily is studied for providing information regarding the Zr, Hf and REE uptake from the environment. Previous studies determined the fractionation of dissolved REE scavenged on binding sites onto biological surfaces. By comparing the recognised shale-normalised REE patterns of studied samples with evidence from reference data, the observed behaviour of these elements in biological tissues of Sabella spallanzanii and Styela plicata is interpreted to result from the preferential uptake of intermediate REE onto carboxylic sites.…
Measurements of Spallation Residues Using Inverse Kinematics at GSI
2002
The production cross sections and the kinematical properties of primary residual nuclei have been studied in reactions 197Au + p, 208Pb + p, d, 238U + p, d, and 238U + 208Pb at energies around 1 A GeV. The measured kinematical properties of the residues were also used to disentangle the relevant reaction mechanisms, spallation-evaporation and spallation-fission. The fragment separator FRS at GSI, Darmstadt, was used to separate and identify the reaction products. The measured quantities are important for the design and planning of future radioactive-beam facilities and accelerator-driven systems.
Simulation of H- ion source extraction systems for the Spallation Neutron Source with Ion Beam Simulator.
2012
A three-dimensional ion optical code IBSimu, which is being developed at the University of Jyväskylä, features positive and negative ion plasma extraction models and self-consistent space charge calculation. The code has been utilized for modeling the existing extraction system of the H(-) ion source of the Spallation Neutron Source. Simulation results are in good agreement with experimental data. A high-current extraction system with downstream electron dumping at intermediate energy has been designed. According to the simulations it provides lower emittance compared to the baseline system at H(-) currents exceeding 40 mA. A magnetic low energy beam transport section consisting of two sole…

New high-sensitivity searches for neutrons converting into antineutrons and/or sterile neutrons at the HIBEAM/NNBAR experiment at the European Spalla…
2021
Abstract The violation of baryon number, B , is an essential ingredient for the preferential creation of matter over antimatter needed to account for the observed baryon asymmetry in the Universe. However, such a process has yet to be experimentally observed. The HIBEAM/NNBAR program is a proposed two-stage experiment at the European Spallation Source to search for baryon number violation. The program will include high-sensitivity searches for processes that violate baryon number by one or two units: free neutron–antineutron oscillation ( n → n ̄ ) via mixing, neutron–antineutron oscillation via regeneration from a sterile neutron state ( n → [ n ′ , n ̄ ′ ] → n ̄ ), and neutron disappearan…
Processi innovativi e sostenibili per il trattamento di rifiuti e acque reflue mediante l’utilizzo di acqua supercritica
2022
Il lavoro presentato in questa tesi è basato principalmente sullo sfruttamento dei processi termochimici in presenza di acqua supercritica per lo smaltimento dei rifiuti. Dipendentemente dalla tipologia di questi ultimi è possibile utilizzare processi diversi per scopi diversi. Nell’ottica di una completa distruzione delle componenti inquinanti presenti nel refluo è stato preso in considerazione un trattamento di ossidazione in acqua supercritica (SCWO); se invece l’obiettivo è quello di valorizzare uno scarto è possibile sfruttare il processo di gassificazione in acqua supercritica (SCWG). Dopo una breve introduzione per inquadrare il problema dei rifiuti con gli attuali metodi di trattame…
