 Heavy ions damage DNA (October 2005) - News - PhysicsWeb
This damage might be caused by the heavy ions after they have lost most of their energy or by low-energy secondary ions.
Previously it was thought that heavy ions caused the same amount of damage as the conventional X-ray or gamma-ray radiation routinely used in medicine.
They fired low-energy ions onto a film of biomolecules in an ultrahigh vacuum and analysed the ions that desorb from the film with a mass spectrometer.

 JEH 3 2 HEAVY METALS CHINA
Xiaoyuon (1983) has studied adsorption of heavy metal ions Cu, Zn, and Ni onto sediments in the Jionshajing river, and the results showed that the pH of river water is an important factor for adsorption heavy metal ions onto sediment.
It is important to study the adsorption characteristics of heavy metal ions onto sediment to find out the special adsorption characteristics of rivers with high concentrations of sediment to set up water quality models for heavy metal and determine the heavy metal pollutant tolerance.
The correlation of W and G is given in Figure 22 which shows that the adsorption of heavy metal ions onto sediment for different sediment types, different heavy metals, and different environmental factors, almost all of which follow equation (3).

 Research with swift heavy ions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Effect of irradiation by light heavy ions in the MeV range on the granularity defect structure and super conducting transition temperature are studied.
The influence of swift heavy ions (SHI) irradiation on electrical transport, magnetization and structural properties of colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) materials are being investigated.
Ion irradiation causes H loss which depends on sp2 and sp3 bonds and thus causes change in electrical as well as optical properties of the films.

AB: Heavy ionospheric ions such as $O^+$ can produce significant mass loading to the magnetotail and because of their gyro-radius can be substantially different from ionospheric or solar wind protons, the heavy ions can modify both the timing and structure of the magnetotail.
In addition, the heavy ions are always important as a tracer to determine the sources and transport paths of the ions.
We discuss the contribution of heavy ions to the storm time ring current by comparing inferred values of the mass density from the ULF technique with values of the electron number density inferred from plasma wave data.

 Heavy Ion Collisions
RHIC's main physics mission is to collide heavy ions together, creating the conditions that physicists are interested in studying.
RHIC primarily uses ions of gold, one of the heaviest common elements, because its nucleus is densely packed with particles.
But since the heavy ions in RHIC collisions are so small (see physics primer), the actual impact of the speeding ions on each other is about the same as the impact of a mosquito hitting a screen door on a summer evening.

 CERN Courier - Heavy ions offer a new appro - IOP Publishing - article
Heavy ions have the advantage that energy deposition is simpler with them than with photons, while much of the accelerator technology necessary has already been demonstrated to have long life, a sufficiently high pulse repetition rate and high electrical efficiency.
Other efforts aimed at both accelerator physics and studying the interaction of heavy ions with hot matter exist at GSI in Germany; the Tokyo Institute of Technology, RIKEN, Utsunomiya University and Osaka's Institute of Laser Engineering in Japan; Orsay in France; and the Russian Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics.
The induction cores of such linacs have high efficiency at the high beam currents that fusion demands, and their cost is relatively low.

 SI 15Modeling heavy ions and atoms throughout the heliosphere   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
We use kinetic models that include heavy elements such as He, C, N, O, and others, to study the heliospheric distribution of neutrals and the singly charged ions of these species, besides H. Two sources of heavy elements have been identified; the solar wind and the LISM.
The solar wind provides heavy ions in certain charge states (as well as neutrals created at the ''inner source'').
Our model describes the evolution of heavy neutral atom distributions throughout the heliosphere, and we include the interaction of heavy particles with neutral hydrogen and protons through charge exchange (i.e., the creation of pickup ions), and of course the heavy neutrals are subject to photoionization and gravity.

 Dynamics of Protons and Heavy Ions in Solar Wind Acceleration Regions
Several theoretical models of the coronal regions where the solar wind is accelerated predict that there the outflow velocity of heavy ions can be significantly lower than that of protons (e.g., Bürgi and Geiss 1986; Esser and Leer 1990).
The outflow velocity of protons and ions can be determined by estimating the Doppler dimming effect on the spectral lines observed, as described by Kohl and Withbroe (1982).
The velocity profile of the oxygen ions, using the O VI 1032 intensity ratios, can be suitably representative of the dynamic behaviour of heavy ions (see the calculations of Bürgi and Geiss (1986)).

 Solar Wind Heavy Ions Driving Force...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Cravens' work suggests that ions comprising 0.1% of the solar wind, such as oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen, appear to be the driving force behind these newly discovered x-ray emissions.
These ions are highly stripped, meaning their electrons have been removed due to the intense heat of the sun's corona, which is where the solar wind originates.
The grabbed electron is now part of the ion but is far from its nucleus, meaning it is still in a highly excited state.

 Fragmentation of proteins using highly charged heavy ions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
We are exploring the fragmentation of proteins with highly charged heavy ions (HCI), using ions extracted from the EBIT (electron beam ion trap) facility at Livermore.
The ions carry charges of up to 65+ (Au, e.g.), which translate into potential energies comparable to the kinetic energies of a few 100 keV, stressing electronic interaction rather than collisional.
Mass spectra of secondary ions ejected from the sample were obtained using a time-of-flight spectrometer.

An ultrarelativistic collision of heavy ions presents a phenomenon whose most interesting features are conditioned by the large multitude of degrees of freedom involved, and yet offer an opportunity for the fundamental physics of the strong interaction to manifest itself.
From a particle physicist's point of view, "Relativistic Heavy Ions are a complicated mess raised to the power of a complicated mess" (a statement ascribed to D. Perkins).
Particle physicists are used to comparing their experimental measurements with predictions obtained from perturbative theories (electro-weak theory or perturbative QCD).

Abstract: The familiar results of effective charge theory of the electronic stopping of heavy ions in solids have hitherto been based on the target model of a homogeneous electron gas.
The `heavy ion scaling rule' and experimental proton data were used to incorporate the major information on the polarization of real target materials.
Introducing Kaneko's generalized target dielectric functions provides a description of the physical processes from a more ab initio point of view.

In July 1998, the National Grand Accelerator of Heavy Ions (GANIL) conducted an experiment whereby glass disks on which our messages will be engraved were exposed to intensive radiation.
The experiment showed that the disks and their data remained intact even after they were exposed to an equivalent amount of cosmic radiation that they will undergo in 50,000 years.
Drawings, photos and sound are heavy consumers of disk memory and would not permit each person living on this planet to express himself.

The success of the liquid drop model to describe properties of nuclei suggests that at normal conditions, nuclei show liquid-like behavior.
If we heat up nuclei by accelerating and colliding heavy ions with other nuclei, theoretically, nuclei may undergo liquid to gas phase transition as in the case of water.
In the past decade, one of the interesting research areas in nuclear physics is to search for such phase transition signature.
