Mass spectrometric methods have long been suggested as ways of measuring (14)C/(12)C ratios for carbon dating. One problem has to distinguish between (14)N and (14)C. With negative ions a tandem electrostatic accelerator, the background is virtually absent fewer than three (14)C atoms in 10(16) (12)C easily measured.
We report the first measurements of polarization x rays emitted from bound-bound transitions in a highly ionized He-like ion. Polarization was measured for decay to ground state, 1${\mathit{s}}^{2}$ $^{1}$${\mathit{S}}_{0}$, ${\mathrm{Sc}}^{19+}$ levels 1s2p $^{1}$${\mathit{P}}_{1}$, $^{3}$${\mathit{P}}_{2}$, $^{3}$${\mathit{P}}_{1}$, and 1s2s $^{3}$${\mathit{S}}_{1}$. The were made with Electron Beam Ion Trap at two electron-beam energies: 4.36 5.62 keV. lines is strongly influenced by...

The dielectronic recombination excitation function for He-like ${\mathrm{Ni}}^{26+}$ ions has been measured. were created and held in an electron beam ion trap, K x rays detected. Several features observed, including resonant of the transition from to direct at threshold. cross section KLL resonances relative radiative measured, agrees with theoretical sections calculated using multiconfiguration Dirac-fock model.
The recently developed direct counting technique for radiocarbon atoms has been used to measure the relative numbers of such in various geological samples which had earlier dated by beta-ray method. Sample weights ranged from 3.5 15 milligrams. dates determined two methods are consistent with each other. Further experience new method is also reported.
We present systematics of the ground-state $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-particle spectroscopic strengths for nuclei from $^{20}\mathrm{Ne}$ to $^{66}\mathrm{Zn}$, measured in ($^{6}\mathrm{Li}$, $d$) reaction. An oscillatory decrease $^{32}\mathrm{S}$, which is excellent agreement with SU(3) theory, followed by a striking and unexplained increase at $^{36}\mathrm{Ar}$ $^{40}\mathrm{Ca}$ then up $^{52}\mathrm{Ti}$, after there again rise.
An experimental investigation of the spectrum x rays emitted in electron-capture decay $^{163}\mathrm{Ho}$ is described. The data obtained are analyzed to determine their sensitivity value neutrino mass. At a 95% confidence level, an upper limit 225 eV set for electron No evidence finite found. Using available photon detectors, further improvements this result severely limited by uncertainties atomic interference effects inherent decay.

A systematic difference between the x-ray energies emitted by daughter atom produced in electron-capture radioactive decay and usual ``characteristic'' electron bombardment or photoemission is noted. Particularly, enhanced differences are predicted for certain elements, some measurements demonstrating this effect presented.

Abstract Using data from the Van Allen Probe and Swarm‐Bravo satellites, evidence for a persistent population of slow magnetosonic waves in ionosphere is presented. Dispersion relations two‐fluid analyses warm plasma are used to interpret explicate these observations. These appear be continuously present globally distributed. Their amplitudes systematically decrease with increasing altitude. The also correlated longitude manner consistent global distribution lightning strikes. Evidence...
