A comparative investigation was carried out in order to make a determination regarding the characteristics of the low-lying collective structure. A comparison was made between the energy levels that were measured for each individual nucleus and three distinct sets of theoretical calculations that were derived from the X(3), X(4), and X (5) models. For the purpose of this analysis, a comparison was made between the theoretical calculations and the experimentally measured energy levels. The nucleus that exhibits features that are consistent with the X(4) model is the target that is being sought after during the detection operation. For the entirety of this study, a certain set of criteria has been developed and put through a comprehensive analysis. There was a limited number of nuclei that were able to fulfill these requirements entirely.","PeriodicalId":8110,"journal":{"name":"Arab Journal of Nuclear Sciences and Applications","volume":"9 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141846531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results of the proposed systems were studied and compared to the active-well neutron coincidence counter (AWCC) which is employed in uranium testing using the code Monte Carlo N-Particle eXtended (MCNPX) version 2.7.0. The systems that were suggested fell within the energy range of 0-0.025 KeV, which is the thermal neutron region.

Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells (EAC) were implanted intramuscularly in the right thigh of female albino mice.

The multiplicity of the charged secondary particles and the correlations among them are discussed. The average multiplicity, compound multiplicity, variation of the dispersion, and the variation of the average compound multiplicity with the different projectile and target mass numbers have been investigated. The outcomes demonstrate certain regularities in the interactions between 7 Li nuclei and emulsion nuclei, which were previously seen in tests involving lighter nuclei. The values of the average multiplicity of the secondary charged particles have been estimated, and the dependence of this average multiplicity on the mass number of the projectile has been analyzed. The impact parameter determines the average multiplicities of the secondary charged particles, which rise as the impact parameter decreases. The variation in average multiplicities of shower particles as a function of heavy ionizing particles has been discussed. The compound multiplicity has been shown to be a good kinematical parameter for studying the interaction between nuclei. The compound multiplicity's average value mostly rises as the projectile mass number does and with the target mass. The study of multiplicity correlations has shown that shower and grey particles are strongly correlated.

Each group, which have two devices from the same type, is exposed to dosages of gamma-ray ionizing radiation. The main objective of this study is to discuss the dynamic performance of these types under low dose ionizing radiation for purpose of usage as a low dose radiation dosimeter. Novelty of this study arisen from that the dynamic parameters such as threshold voltage, rise and fall times, the transconductance and capacitance between different device terminals are investigated. Because of gamma-ray irradiation, the surface and interface charges are arisen into MOSFET region. The threshold voltage is dependent on the MOSFET parameters, as it depends reversely on the oxide capacitance. From the obtained results, the channel width and length play an important role for determining all the dynamic parameters. One can notice that the majority of capacitances values are decreased. Consequently, the threshold voltage is decreased with the increase of radiation dose. From outcomes, the different transconductance values have different comportment according to the channel width and length into these adjacent regions. Generally, it tends to degrade with increasing the gamma-ray irradiation dose. The rise time tends to decrease while fall time tends to increase semi-linearly with increasing dosage values. From digital processing point of view, small shift in the rise or fall time will affect the pulse decision and then the information processing. Finally, one can conclude that n-channel MOSFETs under study not only have a specified response to gamma-ray radiation but also, they give a deterministic performance over the range of dose in this study. Therefore, the n-channel MOSFET under study - for both type number and dose-is a candidate to be a low dose dosimeter for gamma-ray radiation. The obtained dynamic response will be very important for any recent space or ionizing radiation environment and applications","PeriodicalId":8110,"journal":{"name":"Arab Journal of Nuclear Sciences and Applications","volume":"149 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140758414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
