  Searching for WIMP Recoils in Ancient Mica   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Mica is a solid state nuclear track detector capable of recording the keV/amu recoil atoms produced in WIMP-nucleus collisions.
One way to apply this idea is to look for fossil tracks in mica as old as 1 billion years.
The mica is used as a detector and as a target.

 [N] TERMS & DEFINITIONS IN NUCLEAR CHEMISTRY
NUCLEAR MEDICINE A branch of medicine "taken to embrace all applications of radioactive materials in diagnosis or treatment or in medical research with the exception of the use of sealed radiation sources in radiotherapy".
NUCLEAR RADIUS The geometrical radius of the atomic nucleus; because of the relative incompressibility of nuclear matter, it is approximately proportional to the cube root of the atomic number of the nucleus.
NUCLEAR REACTION A transformation of a nucleus which occurs (i) when another nuclear particle approaches closely enough to be influenced by the mutual attractive nuclear force between them or (ii) when affected by an electromagnetic force of sufficient strength.

The significance of studies of nuclei in the superdeformed state is that the mean field is different from that in normal nuclei: the 2:1 axis ratio means that the surface-to volume ratio is different and the mean field is in some sense stretched and deformed.
On the basis of theoretical predictions, the formation of hyperdeformed nuclear states is expected at even higher spins (consequently at even smaller cross sections) than superdeformed states, and most probably in correlation with the emission of charged particles.
In this sphere-like shape the nuclear spin is built up solely from the spin contribution of the individual nucleons, therefore for a given nucleon configuration this spin has a maximum value at which spin the collective band terminates (the terminating spin).

 Internal Dose Monitoring: Glossary of Terms   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
In the United States, it is estimated that the population receives up to 1.5 millirem (0.3% of the average total annual dose) from worldwide fallout and about 0.5 millirem (or 0.1% of the average total annual dose) from operations related to nuclear power generation.
The largest contribution to the radiation dose attributable to residual nuclear fallout in the Marshall Islands results from either internal exposure from intake of radionuclides through ingestion, inhalation and/or absorption through the skin, and external exposure from radionuclides distributed in the soil.
The SSNTD is separated from the sample and chemically etched to expose the damaged areas (known as fission tracks) on the detector surface.

Experiment, Approach:: The approach was to measure important detector parameters on a number of detectors before and after flight on the LDEF and try to determine the amount and cause of the degradation.
After the detectors were returned to the laboratory, all tests and measurements were repeated to determine the amount and type of damage suffered during launch and exposure.
Four of the twenty flight detectors were further shielded by a solid aluminum plate which blocked their view of space but left them exposed to space vacuum.

In a number of materials energetic, heavy nuclear particles leave trails of radiation-damaged material that can be selectively attacked by chemical reagents to produce tracks visible in the optical microscope.
It was found that for each detector there is a fairly narrow range of dE/dx values over which the trackregistration efficiency varies from unity to zero.
Solid-state track detectors presently offer unique advantages when heavy particles must be studied in the presence of a high background flux of light particles.

 Henry Greenside's Duke Physics Challenges
Unbound (scattering) states always lie above bound states, i.e., the lower bound of energies for unbound states is always greater than the upper bound of energies for bound states.
More generally: the energy of a photon needed to excite a molecule from one bound state to another decreases as the nuclear masses of the molecule are increased (leaving the potential unchanged, e.g., by replacing atoms by heavier isotopes).
The reason is that there is a finite probability of finding the electron and positron in the same small region of space in which case the two particles can annihilate one other, the positronium atom disappears, and in its place two high-energy photons (gamma rays) are observed.
