A new 18 GHz room temperature electron cyclotron resonance ion source for highly charged ion beams
2020
An innovative 18 GHz HIISI (Heavy Ion Ion Source Injector) room temperature Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) ion source (ECRIS) has been designed and constructed at the Department of Physics, University of Jyväskylä (JYFL), for the nuclear physics program of the JYFL Accelerator Laboratory. The primary objective of HIISI is to increase the intensities of medium charge states (M/Q ≅ 5) by a factor of 10 in comparison with the JYFL 14 GHz ECRIS and to increase the maximum usable xenon charge state from 35+ to 44+ to serve the space electronics irradiation testing program. HIISI is equipped with a refrigerated permanent magnet hexapole and a noncylindrical plasma chamber to achieve very stro…
Decay of48-50Ar isotopes
2011
International audience; Information on β-decay properties of neutron-rich 84-05Ar was obtained at the ISOLDE mass-separator facility at CERN using isobaric selectivity. This was achieved by a combination of a plasma-ion source with a cooled transfer line and subsequent mass-separation. Normally, argon beams cannot be mass-separated from intense multi-charged symmetric fission krypton and xenon. Several techniques were used successfully in order to overcome this problem. Implication of the obtained information for a better understanding of the origin of the 48Ca/46Ca isotopic anomaly discovered in inclusions from the Allende meteorite is discussed.

Long-Lived Electronic Coherence of Iodine in the Condensed Phase: Sharp Zero-Phonon Lines in the B↔X Absorption and Emission of I2 in Solid Xe
2015
Our study of B←X absorption of molecular iodine (I2) isolated in a low-temperature crystalline xenon has revealed an exceptionally long-lived electronic coherence in condensed phase conditions. The visible absorption spectrum shows prominent vibronic structure in the form of zero-phonon lines (ZPLs) and phonon side bands (PSBs). The resolved spectrum implies weak interaction of the chromophore to the lattice degrees of freedom. The coherence extends past the vibrational period of the excited state molecule, unlike that observed in any condensed phase environment for I2 so far. The ZP transitions from the relaxing B-state populations were resolved in the hot luminescence when the 532 nm lase…
Sorption Kinetics of Xenon on MFI-Type Zeolite Molecular Sieves
1990
Kinetic uptake data for xenon adsorbed onto large and uniform silicalite-I crystals are presented over a temperature range of 121 K to 296 K. — Adsorption isotherms and corrected diffusion coefficients derived from the uptake curves are given. The heat of adsorption and activation energy of diffusion were estimated from the plots of reciprocal temperature against the logarithm of equilibrium pressure and corrected diffusion coefficients, respectively. — While the corrected diffusion coefficient is independent of coverage for the higher temperatures, it decreases significantly at the lower temperatures investigated (<170 K) when the limiting adsorption capacity has been reached. — Comparing …
Atherosclerosis and Cerebral Ischemic Attacks: Intakes of Cerebrography With Xenon133 Inhaled and Platelet Tests in the Diagnosis, Clinical and Thera…
1984
A study of patients to develop the significance of the role of the blood plate lets in the recurrence of transient cerebral ischemic attacks in patients with cerebral atheromatous, develop the effectiveness of dipyridamole in the prophy lactic therapeutic regimen. In the group treated with dipyridamole, a 76.3% clinical improvement was recorded (mean increases of 11.2 ml/min. and 11.4 ml/min. of the cerebral hemispheric flows), 15.8% of cases stabilized (mean increases of 1.7 ml/min. and 1.2 ml/min.) and 7.9% failures (mean decreases of 10.4 ml/min. and 14.3 ml/min.) of these same flows. The cerebrography with xenon 133 inhaled as well as the platelet tests used, constitute unfailing means…
NMR Spectroscopic Evidence for the Intermediacy of XeF3− in XeF2/F− Exchange, Attempted Syntheses and Thermochemistry of XeF3− Salts, and Theoretical…
2010
The existence of the trifluoroxenate(II) anion, XeF(3)(-), had been postulated in a prior NMR study of the exchange between fluoride ion and XeF(2) in CH(3)CN solution. The enthalpy of activation for this exchange, ΔH(⧧), has now been determined by use of single selective inversion (19)F NMR spectroscopy to be 74.1 ± 5.0 kJ mol(-1) (0.18 M) and 56.9 ± 6.7 kJ mol(-1) (0.36 M) for equimolar amounts of [N(CH(3))(4)][F] and XeF(2) in CH(3)CN solvent. Although the XeF(3)(-) anion has been observed in the gas phase, attempts to prepare the Cs(+) and N(CH(3))(4)(+) salts of XeF(3)(-) have been unsuccessful, and are attributed to the low fluoride ion affinity of XeF(2) and fluoride ion solvation in…
Matrix-isolation and ab initio study of the complex between formic acid and xenon
2012
Abstract We report on the identification of the complexes of formic acid (FA) and Xe in an argon matrix. The geometries, interaction energies, reaction barriers, and vibrational spectra of the FA⋯Xe complexes are calculated at the MP2 level of theory. The calculations reveal four structures for the trans-FA⋯Xe complex and four structures for the cis-FA⋯Xe complex. In the experiments, two structures of the trans-FA⋯Xe complex are observed after deposition of FA/Xe/Ar matrices, with and without OH⋯Xe interaction (H-bonded and non-H-bonded structures). The cis-FA⋯Xe complex was synthesized by vibrational excitation of the non-H-bonded trans-FA⋯Xe complex. The non-H-bonded and H-bonded structur…
Ellipsometric thickness and coverage of physisorbed layers of Xe, Kr, Ar and N2 on graphite
1990
Multilayer isotherms of Xe, Kr, Ar and N2 physisorbed on graphite (001) have been studied by ellipsometry. It is shown that the model of Dignam and Fedyk provides an excellent basis for the interpretation of the ellipsometric thickness in terms of the coverage and the polarizability of the admolecules. For N2 conclusions concerning the orientation of the molecule are drawn.
Determining the dark matter mass with DeepCore
2013
Cosmological and astrophysical observations provide increasing evidence of the existence of dark matter in our Universe. Dark matter particles with a mass above a few GeV can be captured by the Sun, accumulate in the core, annihilate, and produce high energy neutrinos either directly or by subsequent decays of Standard Model particles. We investigate the prospects for indirect dark matter detection in the IceCube/DeepCore neutrino telescope and its capabilities to determine the dark matter mass.
