In this book I provide a solution to nuclear reactor core meltdown.
That will save lives and the enviroment (this could have helped at
Fukushima, Japan). The radiation fallout effects are detailed since
1945, along with basic nuclear reactor anatomy, and a breif
explanation of "fission," so anyone can understand how nuclear
power is developed and used. How the "radiation" is introduced into
our food chain is illustrated. In addition to this a list of some
nuclear 'accidents' from around the world along with incredible as
it might sound "lost nuclear weapons " To top it all off a glossary
of terms. This book will literally blow you away
Master's Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Physics - Quantum
Physics, grade: -, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology
(Department of Physics), course: Nanostructure Physics, language:
English, abstract: We have numerically investigated parametric
variations of transmission peaks of symmetric rectangular double
barrier in non-tunneling regime. We have compared the variations
with those for tunneling regime. One of the three variations in
non-tunneling regime is completely different from that for
tunneling regime warranting rapid dissemination. The book contains
background on Quantum Mechanics, Microelectronics and Nanostructure
Physics to enable readers assimilate the book completely.
The study of the nucleon-nucleon interaction has a long history,
going back to 1932 (just after the discovery of the neutron by
James Chadwick). The force is responsible for binding protons and
neutrons into atomic nuclei but, unlike the cases of Coulomb or
Newtonian gravitational laws, the form of the fundamental NN strong
interaction and its constants are a priori unknown. The subject is
nevertheless important because the energy associated with the
binding of protons and neutrons to form atomic nuclei is the energy
used in nuclear power. The authors of the present volume deliver
accounts of current research on various aspects of the forces
between two or more nucleons and how they relate to experiments in
nuclear physics. General overviews, illustrated by appropriate
examples, are given both the theoretical and experimental knowledge
of nuclear physics that are prerequisites for the understanding of
the strong interaction. Two- and three-nucleon forces are among the
topics that are addressed and discussed including, for example, how
nuclear forces emerge from low-energy QCD via chiral effective
field theory. A comprehensive overview is presented of realistic
free nucleon-nucleon interactions and also two-nucleon dynamics in
a nuclear medium.
Master's Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject Physics - Quantum
Physics, grade: -, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology
(Department of Physics), course: Nanostructure Physics, language:
English, abstract: This book contains a comprehensive account of
application of WKB method to pure Physics of nanostructures
containing single or symmetric double barrier V(x) in their band
model in presence of longitudinal magnetic field applied along x
direction. It concentrates on effects on transmission coefficient
of single and symmetric double barriers by three dimensional
electron gas (3DEG). Analytical expressions for longitudinal
magnetic field dependent transmission coefficient of single and
symmetric double barrier of general shape are obtained first. These
general expressions are then used to obtain analytical expressions
of longitudinal magnetic field dependent transmission coefficient
of single and symmetric double barriers of many different shapes we
encounter in studying nanostructure Physics. This is followed by
thorough numerical investigation to bring out effects of
longitudinal magnetic field on transmission coefficient of all
these barriers. Comparisons with standard results where available
showed excellent agreements. Results of numerical investigation
have been explained completely. The book makes well documented,
with thorough calculation and discussion, pure Physics of
semiconductor nanostructures.
In April of 2012 the Plutonium Sustainment program at LANL
completed or addressed the following high-level activities: 1)
Construction activities on the Low Voltage Electron Beam (LVEB)
Welder and Analytical Chemistry gloveboxes have started,
successfully closing out MRT L2 Milestone 4195; 2) Completed
installation of the Surface Preparation unit in PF4. The unit will
be functionally tested in May; 3) Completed casting of the first
two near net shape W87 hemishells; 4) Delivered Revision 3 of the
Plutonium Sustainment and Manufacturing Study; 5) Completed
machining and inspecting the first set of Pollux parts on Precitech
1; 6) Attended the Pu Sustainment Second Quarter Mid-Year Review
and the Pit Production Integrated Project Team meeting in
Livermore, providing technical updates across the Plutonium
Sustainment portfolio; 7) Analyzed the program impact of the LANL
Voluntary Separation Program. The analysis determined an impact of
24.6 FTEs and a budget impact of approximately $3.2 Million Dollars
of pull back; 8) The Power Supply Assembly Area project received a
LANL Pollution Prevention "Gold" award in the category of
Cradle-to-Cradle - Cleanouts. A gold award is presented to the
number one project in its pollution prevention category. There are
currently no major issues associated with achieving MRT L2
Milestones 4195-4198 or the relevant PBIs associated with Plutonium
Sustainment. There are no budget issues associated with FY12 final
budget guidance. Table 1 identifies all Baseline Change Requests
(BCRs) that were initiated, in process, or completed during the
month. The earned value metrics overall for LANL are within
acceptable thresholds, so no high-level recovery plan is required.
This book dispels popular myths and misconceptions about the
dangers of radiation and puts radiation exposures in perspective by
showing how much radiation we receive from nature without harm. It
also discusses the theories of radiation effects on health and the
risks from various sources such as plutonium and the Fukushima
reactor leaks.
This work is a study of scintillator-based radiation detectors, and
how they perform using both traditional and modern photodetectors.
More specifically, we examine how a radiation detector utilizing
silicon photomultiplier-based readout performs compared to a
traditional photomultiplier tube-based detector. Silicon
photomultipliers show great promise in contemporary particle
physics for their small size, robustness, and efficiency compared
to traditional photodetector systems. We investigated the
practicality and efficiency of using silicon photomultipliers in
radiation detectors.
This book presents one of the latest measurements (2012 May) of the
neutrino velocity performed with the OPERA detector in the CNGS
beam. This analysis is different from the previous ones for two
main factors. From the CERN side, it uses a dedicated bunched beam
instead of the standard high intensity OPERA beam, which allows a
better time distribution of the events; while at the LNGS the
analysis has been performed using a a dedicated time measurement
based on the RPC sub-detector, which is partially independent from
the standard OPERA timing system. The obtained result is the one
with the smallest statistical uncertainty with respect to the other
LNGS experiments and to the OPERA standard analysis. The book
starts with an introduction to neutrino physiscs and OPERA
experiment. Then, all the measurement details will be explained in
order to end up, in the fifth chapter, to the data analysis. As in
all the other LNGS experiments, the results consists in the
measurement the neutrino Time of Flight with respect to the light
Time of Flight. Using the CNGS spectrum the result is then
expressed in term of a mass limit on the neutrino.
In this work are used two types of detectors scintillation NaI(Tl)
sizes (2"x2"), (1"x1.5")for a comparative study between them and
are used two sources of radioactive cobalt Co-60 has two energy
(1.33&1.73 MeV), cesium has energy (0.662 MeV) . and
calculating the total area of the spectrum space scattering and
area of peak optical and portability energy analysis, found the
size large for crystal detector leads to probability escape photons
outside the crystals to be less because it can reveal again and
recorded pulse with pulse recorded by the electron apostate so
increase the value of portability energy analysis, and increase the
volume of detectors cause increased probability for scattering
Compton, In other words the increase in the probability of
interaction effect photoelectric be less than the increase in the
probability of interaction scattering Compton so the Net Area under
the peak at less an increase of scattering spectrum
