The X-ray–γ-ray coincidence method was applied to determine the probability of K-shell autoionization in the beta decay of 95Nb. A value of PK = (3.4 ± 0.4) × 10−4 was obtained. This result is in agreement with the recent theoretical result obtained by Law and Campbell.

Total Conversion Coefficient

Using a new coincidence method, the total internal conversion coefficient for the 279-kev transition following the β-decay of Hg203 has been measured with a standard deviation of about 1%. The method which employs a 4πβ–γ coincidence arrangement is based on the differential absorption of β-particles and conversion electrons in 4π geometry. For determining the absolute efficiencies of γ-ray spectrometers or ion-chambers, the method has the advantage of yielding directly the number of γ-ray quanta emitted per Hg203 disintegration without requiring any knowledge of the K:L:M conversion ratios. Likely sources of systematic error have been investigated and their effect has been shown to be smaller than the quoted standard deviation. The value obtained is α = 0.2262 ±.0019 or γ/β = 0.8155 ±.0015, in excellent agreement with the recent β-ray spectrometer measurements of Nijgh et al. This is of interest because a number of widely differing values of conversion coefficients for this transition have been reported. If the K/(L+M+N) conversion ratio of 2.60 ±.06 found by Nijgh et al. is combined with our total conversion coefficient, a value αK = 0.1633 ±.0017 is obtained.

Serious contradictions to the existence of electrons in nuclei impinged in one way or another on the theory of beta decay and became acute when Charles Ellis and William Wooster proved, in an experimental tour de force in 1927, that beta particles are emitted from a radioactive nucleus with a continuous distribution of energies. Bohr concluded that energy is not conserved in the nucleus, an idea that Wolfgang Pauli vigorously opposed. Another puzzle arose in alpha-particle experiments. Walther Bothe and his co-workers used his coincidence method in 1928–30 and concluded that energetic gamma rays are produced when polonium alpha particles bombard beryllium and other light nuclei. That stimulated Frédéric Joliot and Irène Curie to carry out related experiments. These experimental results were thoroughly discussed at a conference that Enrico Fermi organized in Rome in October 1931, whose proceedings included the first publication of Pauli’s neutrino hypothesis.

Chromium compensated GaAs or GaAs:Cr sensors provided by the Tomsk State University (Russia) were characterized using the low noise, charge integrating readout chip JUNGFRAU with a pixel pitch of 75 × 75 µm2 regarding its application as an X-ray detector at synchrotrons sources or FELs. Sensor properties such as dark current, resistivity, noise performance, spectral resolution capability and charge transport properties were measured and compared with results from a previous batch of GaAs:Cr sensors which were produced from wafers obtained from a different supplier. The properties of the sample from the later batch of sensors from 2017 show a resistivity of 1.69 × 109 Ω/cm, which is 47% higher compared to the previous batch from 2016. Moreover, its noise performance is 14% lower with a value of (101.65 ± 0.04) e− ENC and the resolution of a monochromatic 60 keV photo peak is significantly improved by 38% to a FWHM of 4.3%. Likely, this is due to improvements in charge collection, lower noise, and more homogeneous effective pixel size. In a previous work, a hole lifetime of 1.4 ns for GaAs:Cr sensors was determined for the sensors of the 2016 sensor batch, explaining the so-called “crater effect” which describes the occurrence of negative signals in the pixels around a pixel with a photon hit due to the missing hole contribution to the overall signal causing an incomplete signal induction. In this publication, the “crater effect” is further elaborated by measuring GaAs:Cr sensors using the sensors from 2017. The hole lifetime of these sensors was 2.5 ns. A focused photon beam was used to illuminate well defined positions along the pixels in order to corroborate the findings from the previous work and to further characterize the consequences of the “crater effect” on the detector operation.

K shell X-rays of barium and thallium following internal conversion decay in Cs137 and Hg203, respectively, were detected using a Si(Li) X-ray detector coupled to PC-based 8k multichannel analyser employing the method suggested earlier by our group. The K shell X-ray intensity ratios and vacancy transfer probabilities for thallium and barium were calculated. The obtained results are compared with theoretical, semiempirical, and others’ experimental results obtained via photoionization as well as decay processes. The effects of beta decay and internal conversion on X-ray emission probabilities are discussed.

ABSTRACTThree types of debris particles, denoted by L2, H2 and K3 respectively, originated from the abrasion of silica-filled, vulcanized rubber under different test conditions (severity) were analyzed and compared. The structural fractal dimension, DFS, of the particle perimeter was chosen as a morphological descriptor (but not necessarily as an intrinsic property of the fractured material !). Said dimension was estimated by processing light microscopy images. A value of the morphological threshold, TST, which separates the textural from the structural domain in the RICHARDSON plot was determined in order to maximize discrimination between the three particle types and rank them by increasing values of DFS. Particles from the highest severity test (K3) exhibited the highest value of DFS. X ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) provided elemental composition, core level binding energies and the speciation of C, N, O, Si and S. As a result, L2 debris was found to originate from two processes: fracture of rubber and segregation of extender oil. Evidence has come both from morphology and XPS. Particles of H2 and K3 were ascribed to fracture alone. Comparison between K3 and the reference material, rasped rubber (RAS), shows the following: a) increase of the [S]/[C] surface atomic concentration ratio from RAS to K3; b) existence of multiple bonding states of S in K3 with energy peaking at 162.9 ± 0.3 eV ([-S-S-]n); c) weak contribution of R-S-O-R oxidized S species in K3 at 165 eV, not seen in RAS; d) no evidence of either SO3 or SO4 groups in any material. Although preliminary, these results prove the ability of morphological analysis and XPS to characterize the surface properties of debris particles non destructively.

Reactions of (η5-C9H7)Rh(η2-C2H4)2 (1) with quinones were investigated. Substitution of the labile ethylene ligands was observed upon addition of either duroquinone (2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-1,4-benzoquinone) or 1,4-benzoquinone to complex 1. The molecular structure of neutral (η5-C9H7)Rh(2,3,5,6-C6O2(CH3)4) (3), determined by X-ray diffraction, shows that the duroquinone ligand lies in a plane nearly parallel to the indenyl group. The carbonyl moieties of duroquinone lie in a plane incorporating Rh, C2, and the midpoint between C3a and C7a of the indenyl ring. The slip parameter (Δ= d(average Rh-C3a,7a) -d(average Rh-C1,3)) was calculated to be 0.112(2) Å; whereas a value of ca. 0.05 Å had been obtained previously from film data. Values for the hinge angle (HA = angle between normals to the least-squares planes defined by C1, C2, C3 and C1, C7a, C3a, C3) and fold angle (FA = angle between normals to the least-squares planes defined by C1, C2, C3 and C3a, C4, C5, C7, C7a) are 7.2° and 4.0°, respectively.Key words: indenyl, rhodium, quinones, ring-slippage, ground-state distortion.
