The 90° cross-section of the reaction 3 1 H( d , n ) 4 2 He has been investigated over the energy range 100 to 200 keV (energy of bombarding triton) using the 200 keV accelerating set of the establishment. Two methods have been used. As a preliminary experiment the yield of alpha-particles from a thick heavy-ice target was measured per unit charge of incident beam, as a function of deuteron energy, and the variation of cross-section deduced from the gradient of this excitation curve and the range energy relation for tritons in heavy water. Secondly, a comparison was made between the yield of alpha-particles from the D-T reaction and the yield of protons from the D-D reaction when a beam containing both deuterons and tritons was passed through a heavy-water vapour target. (The energy loss in this target was calculated as only a few hundred electron volts.) To do this a simultaneous observation was made of the protons and alpha-particles using the same counter. The values obtained for the cross-section have been compared with the resonance formulae given by Bretscher & French (1949) and by Tascbek, Everhart, Gittings, Hemmendinger & Jarvis (1948) and have been found to be in disagreement with formulae of this type. From considerations of the absolute magnitude of the cross-section it has been deduced that no conventional theory postulating reaction at a distance equal to the sum of the nuclear radii (cf. Konopinski & Teller 1948) will be able to explain this reaction. The evidence for a low-energy resonance (Allan & Poole 1949) is thought to be inconclusive.

Comparison Of The Results

The processes of scattering slow positrons with the possible formation of positronium play an important role in the diagnosis of both composite materials, including semiconductor materials, and for the analysis of images obtained by positron tomography of living tissues. In this paper, we consider the processes of scattering positrons with the capture of an electron and the formation of positronium. When calculating the cross-section for the capture reaction, exchange effects caused by the rearrangement of electrons between colliding particles are taken into account. Comparison of the results of calculating the cross-section with a similar problem of electron capture by a proton showed that the mass effect is important in such a collision process. The loss of an electron by a lithium atom is more effective when it collides with a positron than with a proton or alpha particles. The dynamic equilibrium of the formation of positronium in the presence of a strong magnetic field is considered. It is shown that a strong magnetic field during tomography investigation shifts the dynamic equilibrium to the positronium concentration followed by positron annihilation with radiation of three gamma-quants.

We report the first measurement of alpha-particles from the interaction of neutrons with 7Be at “temperatures” of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN). We measured the Maxwellian averaged cross sections (MACS), with neutron beams produced by the LiLiT at the SARAF in Israel (with kT = 49.5 keV hence 0.57 GK). In addition, we measured the cross section of the 7Be(n,p) reaction, which is in excellent agreement with the recent measurement of the n_TOF collaboration, further substantiating our method as a demonstration of “proof of principle”. The cross section for the 7Be(n,ga) and the 7Be(n,a) reaction measured in the “BBN window” is considerably smaller than compiled by Wagoner in 1969 and used today in Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN). We also rule out a hitherto unknown resonance in 8Be at the BBN window, that was conjectured as a possible standard nuclear physics solution to the “Primordial 7Li Problem”. Together with previous results, we deduce a new Wagoner-like Rate for the destruction of 7Be by neutrons which is based on all current measured data. We conclude the lack of a standard nuclear solution to the “Primordial 7Li Problem”. Our upper limit on the cross sections for the high energy alpha-particles is in agreement with recent measurement of the n_TOF collaboration, but it is considerably smaller than the p-wave extrapolation of the Kyoto collaboration. We measured the alpha-particles from the 7Be(n,gi)8Be*(3.03 MeV) reaction, which is considerably larger than a previous s-wave estimate. Hence, in contrast, we conclude s-wave dominance at BBN energies, as would be expected due to the broad (122 keV) low lying 2” state at En = 10 keV.

Capture Cross Sections

Electron capture cross sections are calculated in the first Born approximation for alpha particles passing through hydrogen and singly charged helium ions passing through helium using the complete interaction Hamiltonian. Estimations of captures into excited states are made with the help of the partial cross sections obtained in a simple closed form using only the (incident ion)−(electron) interaction. The results indicate that the first Born approximation, using the complete interaction, is quite adequate in the velocity range given by [Formula: see text]. An impact parameter calculation for protons in hydrogen shows that the cross section obtained using only the (incident ion)–(electron) interaction gives unphysical results at low velocities [Formula: see text], and that most of the contribution to the cross section arises from impact parameters p > a0, where a0 is the radius of the first Bohr orbit in hydrogen.

Previously we reported that tannic acid is a very effective fixative for proteins including polypeptides. Especially, in the cross section of microtubules, thirteen submits in A-tubule and eleven in B-tubule could be observed very clearly. An elastic fiber could be demonstrated very clearly, as an electron opaque, homogeneous fiber. However, tannic acid did not penetrate into the deep portion of the tissue-block. So we tried Catechin. This shows almost the same chemical natures as that of proteins, as tannic acid. Moreover, we thought that catechin should have two active-reaction sites, one is phenol,and the other is catechole. Catechole site should react with osmium, to make Os- black. Phenol-site should react with peroxidase existing perhydroxide.

The energy distribution in an electron; beam from an electron gun provided with a biased Wehnelt cylinder was measured by a retarding potential analyser. All the measurements were carried out with a beam of small angular divergence (<3xl0-4 rad) to eliminate the apparent increase of energy width as pointed out by Ichinokawa.The cross section of the beam from a gun with a tungsten hairpin cathode varies as shown in Fig.1a with the bias voltage Vg. The central part of the beam was analysed. An example of the integral curve as well as the energy spectrum is shown in Fig.2. The integral width of the spectrum ΔEi varies with Vg as shown in Fig.1b The width ΔEi is smaller than the Maxwellian width near the cut-off. As |Vg| is decreased, ΔEi increases beyond the Maxwellian width, reaches a maximum and then decreases. Note that the cross section of the beam enlarges with decreasing |Vg|.

The work of multilayer glass structures for central and eccentric compression and bending are considered. The substantiation of the chosen research topic is made. The description and features of laminated glass for the structures investigated, their characteristics are presented. The analysis of the results obtained when testing for compression, compression with bending, simple bending of models of columns, beams, samples of laminated glass was made. Overview of the types and nature of destruction of the models are presented, diagrams of material operation are constructed, average values of the resistance of the cross-sections of samples are obtained, the table of destructive loads is generated. The need for development of a set of rules and guidelines for the design of glass structures, including laminated glass, for bearing elements, as well as standards for testing, rules for assessing the strength, stiffness, crack resistance and methods for determining the strength of control samples is emphasized. It is established that the strength properties of glass depend on the type of applied load and vary widely, and significantly lower than the corresponding normative values of the strength of heat-strengthened glass. The effect of the connecting polymeric material and manufacturing technology of laminated glass on the strength of the structure is also shown. The experimental values of the elastic modulus are different in different directions of the cross section and in the direction perpendicular to the glass layers are two times less than along the glass layers.
