Effects Of Energetic Particles Research Articles

Direct measurement of nuclear reaction times by the use of the blocking effect in single crystals

A new method to measure reaction times by the use of the blocking effect of energetic particles in single crystals was applied to the 28Si(p, p′) 28Si ∗, 70Ge(p, p′) 70Ge ∗ and 72Ge(p, p′) 72Ge ∗ reactions. For germanium, reaction times of the order of 10 −17 s were observed.

A review of the gross structural effects of energetic atomic particles on vitreous and crystalline silica

The course of the changes resulting from irradiation and also those found on post-irradiation heating are reviewed. A hypothesis of the atomic behavior which will account for the observations is given.
