The history of calorimetry is described, starting with the small scintillating crystals that were used as nuclear gamma ray detectors, to the multi-ton instruments that form the heart of modern experiments at colliding-beam accelerators. The different experimental techniques that are used for generating signals are reviewed.

Abstract Stellar Evolution theory relies on our knowledge of nuclear reactions, with the carbon/oxygen (C/O) ratio, at the end of helium burning, being the single most important input. However, the C/O ratio is still not known with sufficient accuracy, due to large uncertainties in the cross section for the fusion of helium with 12C to form 16O, denoted as the 12C(α,γ)16O reaction. We present initial results at moderately low energies using a novel method, which is significantly different from the experimental efforts of the past four decades. Precise angular distributions of the 12C(α,γ)16O reaction were obtained by measuring the inverse 16O(γ,α)12C reaction with gamma-beams and a Time Projection Chamber detector. These allowed us to measure, for the first time, the interference angle of the l = 1 and 2 partial waves contributing to this reaction (φ12), which agrees with predictions based on the unitarity of the scattering matrix.

Abstract Antibacterial coatings based on bacterial cellulose (BC) have been widely used in many fields including food packaging and wound dressing. In this study, we aimed to synthesis of colloidal AgNPs and BC/ AgNP composite by using BC as a reducing and capping agent in one step reaction induced by gamma-ray. Bacterial strain Komagataeibacter rhaeticus N1 MW322708 was used for biosynthesis BC by inoculation on Hestrin and Schramm medium and incubated statically at 35 °C for 10 days. BC sheet was formed, harvested, purified, and dried, then used for the synthesis of AgNPs and BC/AgNP by soaked 0.05 g of dried BC in 10ml of 1mM aqueous AgNO3 solution for 2h and then irradiated by gamma-ray under different doses. Color change from yellow to deep brown indicated the synthesis of AgNPs and BC/AgNP. The optical spectra of synthesized AgNPs revealed that the surface plasmon resonance was localized around 420 nm. DLS analysis showed that the mean diameter of AgNPs was 49.5 nm with a -19.36-mV value of zeta potential. TEM images revealed the spherical shape of synthesized AgNPs. The results of FESEM, FTIR, and XRD confirmed the formation of BC/AgNO3 composite. The highly crystalline nature of the BC membrane and BC/AgNP composite was observed in XRD measurements with a crystal size of 5.416 and 5.409 nm, respectively. The antibacterial activity of BC and BC/AgNP against pathogenic bacterial isolated from Pastirma food samples revealed that BC does not show antibacterial activity, while BC/AgNP composite showed antibacterial potency against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Listeria monocytogenes, Proteus mirabilis, and Escherichia coli, with an inhibition zone of (mm) 9±1, 9±0.57, 10±1.15, 8±0.5 and 7±0.28, respectively. We concluded that this novel method presented in this paper offers a promising route for both AgNPs and BC/AgNP composites synthesis using a green, renewable biopolymer as a multifunctional agent and potential to be applied in the future development of food packing, biomedical instruments, and therapeutics.
