The article presents the results of investigations of the decay coefficients of dense plasma in impulse discharges in water initiated by an electric explosion of an iron conductor. An analysis of time-resolved and spatial emission spectra of the discharges was performed, along with the study of absorption spectra dynamics with a 5 μs interval. The electron concentration of the dense plasma was determined at different time points, allowing the determination of its decay coefficients at electron concentrations ranging from 1020 to 1021 cm-3. It was found that under equal electron concentrations in the plasma, the decay coefficients of plasma with iron impurities are consistent with the decay coefficients of plasma with tungsten impurities.

A VVER-1000 reactor model using the Monte Carlo Serpent 2 code for core power distribution calculation is presented. The core and zones located near to the core were modeled in detail, without simplification. The assembly power distribution and axial power profiles were calculated for fresh core of the X2 VVER-1000 benchmark, namely the core of the KhNPP2 first loading for the hot zero power. The results were compared with the data obtained by specialists from Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf.

We are currently applying the variable moment of inertia model to nuclei in mass region A ∼ 60 - 90 in order to improve spectroscopic analysis of its rotational bands in the superdeformed region, which in turn is helpful in the band head spin prediction and other spins for superdeformed bands. The moment of inertia of the ground state, ϑ0 and restoring force constant, C, were calculated by fitting the observed transition energies. The band head spin, I0 was determined in terms of the ratio of transition energies, verified by root mean square deviations. We verified that the observed high spin superdeformed bands display a near-rigid rotor behavior by studying transition energies over twice the angular momentum (RTEOS). The calculated and observed transition energies agree well.

The problem of identifying the sensitivity of living organisms to ionizing irradiation remains relevant, considering the spread of anthropogenic environmental pollution. The study on the effect of single X-ray irradiation (1,5 Gy) on peripheral blood of bank voles (Myodes glareolus (Schreber, 1780)) captured within territories with background radiation level was conducted. Hematological indicators, characterizing the overall condition of performance of the body, were determined dynamically on the first and seventh days after exposure to detect both early changes and the rate of recovery processes. The patterns and features of the main components of leukocyte formula found in peripheral blood of irradiated animals are being discussed. Differences between irradiated and control mouse-like rodents are shown, using parameters of erythrocytes and leukocytes. The analysis of changes in the peripheral blood of irradiated bank voles indicates the high reserve capacity of the body, according to its ability to restore homeostasis.
考虑到人为环境污染的蔓延,确定生物体对电离辐照的敏感性问题仍然具有现实意义。我们研究了单次 X 射线辐照(1.5 Gy)对在本底辐射水平地区捕获的银行田鼠(Myodes glareolus (Schreber, 1780))外周血的影响。在受辐射后的第一天和第七天,对表征身体整体状况的血液指标进行了动态测定,以检测早期变化和恢复过程的速度。目前正在讨论在辐照动物外周血中发现的白细胞配方主要成分的模式和特征。利用红细胞和白细胞的参数显示了受辐照啮齿类动物和对照组小鼠之间的差异。对辐照库田鼠外周血变化的分析表明,根据其恢复平衡的能力,机体具有很高的储备能力。

The γ-spectra were measured of the radioactive material of the ZNPP which was irradiated by bremsstrahlung with end-point energy 18.5 MeV. Using the ratio of the 47Ca and 58Co activities, the cobalt and calcium mass ratio was determined. Using the obtained data and the measured 60Co activity in the studied sample, a method for determining the 41Ca activity was developed.

Nucleon distribution densities and nucleus-nucleus interaction potentials for the 16O nucleus and 112,114,116,118,120,122,124Sn isotopes were calculated within the framework of the modified Thomas - Fermi method, taking into account all terms to the second-order of ħ in the quasiclassical expansion of kinetic energy. Skyrme forces dependent on the nucleon density were used as nucleon-nucleon interaction. A successful parameterization was found for the obtained potential, which allows to present it in an analytical form.

A comparison has been made between theoretical results and the experimental data for different nuclei (even-even) that possess the same mass number A = 44 and which have close values of the experimental deformation parameter such as 16S44, 18Ar44, 20Ca44 and 22Ti44. The core-polarization effects and model space were adopted through the inclusion of effective charges. Transition probability B(E2), theoretical deformation parameters, and theoretical intrinsic quadruple moments were calculated using two different interactions for each case, the first case the hasp interaction for nuclei in the sd shell, and the fpd6 interaction for nuclei in the fp shell, the second case the vpnp interaction for nuclei in the sd shell, and the kb3 interaction for nuclei in the fp shell, as well as adopted to different effective charges, such as Bohr and Mottelson effective charges, standard effective charges, and the effective charges from program NuShellX. The theoretical results of the transition probability B(E2), deformations parameters, and intrinsic quadruple moments were compared and found to be close to the experimental values for these nuclei.

The barrier penetrability, decay constant and decay half-life of 1-n halo nuclei 11Be, 15,17,19C, 22N, 23O, 24,26F, 29,31Ne, 34,37Na, 35,37Mg, and 55Ca; and 2-n halo nuclei 22C, 27,29F, 34Ne, 36Na, and 46P from Z = 127 – 132 parents were calculated within the framework of the Coulomb and proximity potential model by calculating the Q-values using the finite-range droplet model. A comparison between the decay half-lives is made by considering the halo candidates as a normal cluster and as a deformed structure with a rms radius. Neutron shell closure at 190, 196, 198, 200, 204, and 208 are identified from the plot of decay half-lives versus the neutron number of daughter nuclei (NP). The calculation of alpha decay half-life and spontaneous decay half-life showed that the majority of the parent nuclei survive spontaneous fission and decay through alpha emission. The Geiger-Nuttall plots of log10T1/2 versus Q-1/2 and universal plots of log10T1/2 versus -lnP for the emission of all 1-n and 2-n halo nuclei from the parents considered here are linear and show the validity of Geiger - Nuttall law in the case of decay of halo nuclei from superheavy elements.

Germanium crystals have a dead layer that causes a decrease in efficiency since the layer is not useful for detection but strongly attenuates photons. The thickness of this inactive layer is not well known due to the existence of a transition zone where photons are increasingly absorbed. Therefore, using data provided by manufacturers in the detector simulation model, some strong discrepancies appear by changing the dead layer. Investigations into the Ge detector response functions for gamma rays have been conducted using straightforward physical mechanisms implemented by Monte Carlo simulations. The detector response function feature's most probable interaction mechanisms are described. The Monte Carlo method is applied to simulate the calibration of a HPGe detector in order to determine the total inactive germanium layer thickness and the active volume that is needed in order to study the response function for both types of detectors. Results indicated a strong impact of dead layer variations on the response function of the simulated detectors.
锗晶体有一个死层,会导致效率降低,因为该层对探测没有作用,但会强烈衰减光子。由于存在一个过渡区,光子在该区被吸收的程度越来越高,因此这种非活性层的厚度并不十分清楚。因此,在探测器模拟模型中使用制造商提供的数据时,如果改变死层,就会出现一些很大的差异。对伽马射线的 Ge 探测器响应函数的研究是通过蒙特卡罗模拟实现的直接物理机制进行的。描述了探测器响应函数特征最可能的相互作用机制。蒙特卡洛方法被应用于模拟一个 HPGe 探测器的校准,以确定总的非活性锗层厚度和活性体积,这是研究两种类型探测器的响应函数所必需的。结果表明,死层变化对模拟探测器的响应函数有很大影响。
