AbstractAbstract
[en] The QCD theory (Quantum Chromodynamics) predicts the presence of a new phase of the nuclear matter at very high temperature. This phase, characterized by a deconfinement of quarks within hadrons, is called QGP (Quark Gluon Plasma). The muon spectrometer of the ALICE experiment (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) aims at investigating the properties of the QGP at the extreme energy density reached in heavy ion collisions at LHC (Large Hadron Collider). The trigger system of the Muon Spectrometer, called MUON TRG mainly come under the responsibility of the Clermont-Ferrand ALICE team. It consists of four planes of RPC (Resistive Plate Chamber) detectors with a total area of 140 m2, 21 k front-end channels and fast-decision electronics. It is designed to reconstruct (muon) tracks online, in a large background environment. A fast trigger decision, for both single-muons and dimuons, is delivered each 25 ns (40 MHz) with a latency with respect to the interaction of about 800 ns. The performances, especially the ones related to trigger decision, obtained with dedicated test tools, cosmic rays, first LHC injection beams and first proton-proton collisions at √s = 900 GeV will be presented.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Numerous quarries in the Lutetian limestone formations of the Paris Basin provided stone for the building and the decoration of monuments from antiquity to the present. To determine the origin of stone used for masonry and sculptures in these monuments, a team of geologists and archaeologists has investigated 300 quarries and collected 2,300 samples. Petrographic and paleontologic examination of thin sections allows geologists to distinguish Lutetian limestones from Jurassic and Cretaceous limestones. Geologists also seek to formulate hypotheses regarding the origin of Lutetian limestones used for building and sculpture in the Paris region. In the search for the sources of building and sculptural stone, the analytical methods of geologists are limited because often several quarries produce the same lithofacies. A new tool is now available, however, to attack questions of provenance raised by art historians. Because limestones from different sources have distinctive patterns of trace-element concentrations, compositional analysis by neutron activation allows them to compare building or sculptural stone from one monument with stone from quarries or other monuments. This analytical method subjects a powdered limestone sample to standard neutron activation analysis procedures at Brookhaven National Laboratory. With the help of computer programs, the compositional fingerprints of Lutetian limestones can be determined and stored in a database. The limestone database contains data for approximately 2,100 samples from monuments, sculptures and quarries. It is particularly rich in samples from the Paris Basin

AbstractAbstract
[en] Stone for building and decorating monuments in the Paris Basin from antiquity to the present came from numerous quarries in the Lutetian limestone formations of the region. To identify specific-stone sources used for masonry and sculptures in these monuments, a team of geologists and archaeologists has investigated 300 quarries and collected 2,300 limestone samples for study in a collaborative effort by geologists and chemists. Petrographic and paleontologic examinations of thin sections enable geologists to distinguish the Tertiary Lutetian limestones from similar stone in Jurassic and Cretaceous strata. The methods of the geologist have been supplemented by those of the chemist whose compositional studies by neutron activation analysis can differentiate among the fine-grained upper Lutetian limestones extracted from specific ancient quarries

AbstractAbstract
[en] In laboratories preparing iodine-131, where it is extracted by distillation from telluric acid, there is a risk of personnel contamination should a leak occur in the apparatus. The device presented here records the activity in the air and gives an alarm when this activity reaches a predetermined value or undergoes an abnormally rapid change. Air is aspirated (at 20 m3/h) across a specially-shaped tube of activated charcoal surrounding a crystal scintillator. The iodine thus permanently collected accumulates at a short distance (a few millimetres) from the detector. The γ activity of the iodine is counted selectively in an energy band centralized on 0.364 MeV, but shielding with lead is, however, essential owing to the high γ background, variable in intensity and energy, found in these laboratories. These precautions reduce the Y background by a factor of over 1000. The apparatus integrates the iodine-131 dose with a time constant of 8 days. Under the conditions of use, appreciable zero displacement is not observed and permanent leaks are insignificant. A small accidental leak producing in the air 1 MPC is detected in approximately 1/2 hour, and the time necessary for the detection of such leaks is inversely proportional to the concentration. In addition, a special circuit gives an alarm in case of any rapid increase of activity. (author)

Dans les laboratoires de preparation - ou il est extrait par distillation de l'acide tellurique irradie - l'iode-131 risque, en cas de fuite du dispositif, de contaminer le personnel. L'appareil presente enregistre son activite dans l'air et donne une alarme des que celle-ci atteint une valeur predeterminee, ou subit une variation anormalement rapide. L'air est aspire (20 m3/h) et traverse une cartouche de charbon actif de forme speciale entourant un cristal scintillateur. L'iode ainsi collecte en permanence s'accumule a une faible distance (quelques millimetres) du detecteur. L'activite γ de l'iode est comptee selectivement dans une bande d'energies centree sur 0,364 MeV, mais une protection de plomb est cependant indispensable en raison du bruit de fond γ eleve et variable en energie et intensite qui regne dans ces laboratoires. Ces dispositions divisent par un facteur depassant 1000 le mouvement propre γ ambiant. L'appareil integre, avec une constante de temps de 8 jours, la dose en iode-131; dans les conditions d'utilisation, on n'observe pas de deplacement appreciable du zero; les fuites permanentes sont inappreciables. Une fuite accidentelle faible produisant dans l'air 1 CMA est decelee en une demi-heure environ, et le temps necessaire a la detection de telles fuites est inversement proportionnel a la concentration. Un circuit special donne de plus une alarme pour toute augmentation rapide de l'activite. (author)[es]
En los laboratorios en que el yodo-131 se prepara por destilacion extractiva a partir del acido telurico irradiado, existe el peligro de que dicho elemento contamine al personal, en caso de producirse una fuga en la instalacion. El aparato descrito por los autores registra la actividad del yodo presente en el aire y emite una senal de alarma en cuando dicha actividad alcanza un valor predeterminado o sufre una variacion anormalmente rapida. El aire ambiente, aspirado a razon de 20 m3/h, atraviesa un cartucho de carbon activado, de forma especial, que rodea al cristal de centelleo. El yodo recogido en esa forma se acumula a poca distancia (algunos milimetros) del detector. La actividad γ del yodo se cuenta selectivamente en una banda de energia centrada en torno a los 0,364 MeV; sin embargo, hace falta un blindaje de plomo, debido al fuerte ruido de fondo γ, de energia e intensidad variables, que reina en esos laboratorios. Gracias a esta disposicion, la actividad γ propia del ambiente se reduce en mas de 1000 veces. El aparato integra la dosis de yodo-131 con una constante de tiempo de 8 dias; en condiciones de servicio, no se observa un desplazamiento apreciable del cero; las fugas permanentes son imperceptibles. Una fuga accidental reducida, que de origen a una concentracion maxima admisible igual a 1 en el aire, se descubre a la media hora, aproximadamente, siendo el tiempo necesario para la deteccion de tales fugas inversamente proporcional a la concentracion. Ademas, un circuito especial emite una senal de alarma cuando se produce cualquier aumento rapido de la actividad. (author)[ru]

AbstractAbstract
[en] Semiconductor detectors permit precise measurement of α particle energy. The experimental equipment described includes: a detection head surrounding a primary vacuum and arranged specially for a spectroscopy, a low-background preamplifier with a response proportional to the charge collected by the detector, a conventional amplifier and a multi-channel selector. The electronic background is reduced by selecting the most appropriate entrance and pulseshaping circuits. The source and detector are placed in such a way as to ensure minimum dispersion of the energy of the incident α particles. Resolutions of approximately 30 keV have been obtained for the α particles of U233 with a recent prototype detector (LTT). (author)

AbstractAbstract
[en] Short spells (5 min) of red light applied to etiolated potato sprouts after excision (0 time) caused opposite effects on rate of tuberisation after the sprouts had been planted; tuberisation was speeded up by light red (RC) radiation and slowed down by dark red (RS) radiation. If the treatment was postponed to after subjecting the sprouts to darkness, RS effect was reduced whereas that of RC enhanced in relation to the duration of the dark period (Table 1). The effect of RS at 0 time could be explained in terms of the presence of a low level of preformed Pfr (active form of phytochrome) in the etiolated sprouts. The Pfr would disappear gradually in darkness resulting in the loss of efficiency of RS radiation and an increase in the efficiency of RC radiation. The marked effect of RS radiation at 0 time was even more evident if the sprouts were excised from physiologically older tubers (higher incubation temperature). The increase in related physiological responses —persistence and speed of tuberisation in vitro — could be explained by the development during incubation of conditions more favourable to the activity of the photoreceptor in the cells (Table 2). Red light treatment at low temperatures (Table 3) on mature tubers (Table 4) caused an increase in total phytochrome content in etiolated sprouts which would develop later on those tubers in the dark. Light appeared to control tuberisation through its action on an organ which detects the stimulus (tuber) to an organ derived from it (sprout)

Kurze Belichtung von Dunkelkeime mit Rotlicht (5 min) nach dem Ansetzen (Zeit 0) übt eine hemmende Wirkung auf die Knollenbildungsgeschwindigkeit. Die hellroten Strahlen fördern und die dunkelroten Strahlen hemmen die Knollenbildung (Abb. 1). Falls das Aussetzen in diese Farblichter verschoben wird, nachdem die Knollen im Dunkeln gehalten wurden, so beobachtet man, dass der Effekt der dunkelroten Strahlen abnimmt, hingegen nimmt die Wirkung der hellroten mit verlängerter Dunkelperiode zu (Abb. 1). Die Wirkung von Dunkelrot zur Zeit 0 könnte durch das Vorhandensein von einer kleiner Menge der Aktivform des Phytochrom in Dunkelkeimen erklärt werden. Im Dunkeln verschwindet die Aktivform des Phytochrom allmählich. (Dies zur Folge hat, dass die Wirksamkeit der dunkelroten Strahlen verloren geht, sowie auch der erzielte Effekt der hellroten Strahlen.) Je älter die Mutterknolle der geprüften Keime ist (vorgerücktes Inkubationstadium) desto besser ist die Wirkung der dunkelroten Strahlen zur Zeit 0. Die Verbesserung der physiologischen Reaktionen gekoppelt mit —Überleben und Knollenbildungsgeschwindigkeit ‘in vitro’ — könnte sich erklären durch eine bessere Disposition des Zellmaterials gegenüber dem Lichtempfänger. Das Phytochrom würde somit bei stark inkubierten Keimen als alterungshemmender Faktor wirken (Tab. 2). Behandlungen mit Rotlicht bei kühlen Temperaturen (Abb. 3) auf reifen Knollen (Abb. 4) erhöhen den Gesamt-Phytochromgehalt in den Keimen, welche später im Dunkeln aus diesen Knollen gebildet werden. Das Licht würde somit durch das Organ, welches den Stimulus (Knolle) aufnimmt eine Kontrolle auf ein daraus entstehendes Organ (Keim) ausüben[fr]
De brèves irradiations de lumière rouge appliquées à des germes étiolés, isolés de tubercules de pomme de terre (Solanum tuberosum L.), ont montré des effets variables sur la vitesse de la tubérisation selon la nature des radiations et le moment de leur application après le prélèvement. La survie des germes et la rapidité de tubérisation ‘in vitro’ seraient des phénomènes liés, et placés sous le contrôle probable du phytochrome qui serait présent sous la forme Pfr* dans les germes. Des traitements lumineux périodiques à basse température sur des tubercules ayant eu un temps suffisant d'incubation permettent un enrichissement de la teneur totale en phytochrome des germes qui en seront issus. Dans tous les cas (germes et tubercules-mères), la sensibilité aux radiations rouges augemente en même temps que le degré d'incubationOriginal Title

AbstractAbstract
[en] This study was undertaken in order to make measurements of radiations emitted by plasmas. The photomultipliers can be utilized for the detection of photons of the far ultraviolet (100 ≤ λ ≤ 1500 A), electrons (50 eV to 10 keV), and low-energy ions (a few keV). The photomultipliers studied (14, 15 and 17 stages) are preceded by a target or by a photocathode adapted for the purpose, and can easily be connected to a vacuum chamber (operating pressure, 10-5 mm Hg). The total voltage is 4000 to 5000. A good gain stability is obtained with dynodes of Ag-Mg or Cu-Be alloys. The total gain as a function of voltage depends on the way in which the material is treated and seems to depend closely on the oxidation state. The authors determined the coefficient of secondary emission as a function of the energy of the electrons (50 eV to 20 keV) for Cu-Be and Ag-Mg alloys, oxidized and non-oxidized. In the area of the ultraviolet under vacuum, the windowless photomultiplier has several advantages over a detector with a light converter (sodium salicylate): better time resolution, photoelectron/UV photon yield five times higher, insensitivity to visible light and the near UV, thermal background negligible, signal-to-noise ratio considerably higher.

Les auteurs ont entrepris cette etude afin d'effectuer des mesures de rayonnements emis par les plasmas. Les photomultiplicateurs etudies sont utilisables pour la detection des photons de l'ultraviolet lointain (100 ≤ λ ≤ 1500 A), des electrons (50 eV a 10 keV) et des ions de faible energie (quelques keV). Ces photomultiplicateurs (14, 15 et 17 etages) sont precedes d'une cible ou d'une photocathode adaptee a l'utilisation. Ils peuvent se raccorder simplement a une enceinte a vide (pression de fonctionnement 10-5mm Hg). La tension d'alimentation totale est de 4000 a 5000 V. Une bonne stabilite du gain est obtenue avec des dynodes en alliage d'Ag-Mg ou de Cu-Be. Le gain total en fonction de la tension d'alimentation depend du traitement applique au materiau et semble lie etroitement a l'etat d'oxydation. Les auteurs ont determine le coefficient d'emission secondaire en fonction de l'energie des electrons (50 eV a 20 keV) pour les alliages de Cu-Be et Ag-Mg oxydes ou non. Dans le domaine de l'ultraviolet du vide, le photomultiplicateur sans fenetre presente plusieurs avantages sur un detecteur avec convertisseur de lumiere (salicylate de sodium): meilleure resolution en temps, rendement photoelectron/photon UV cinq fois plus eleve, insensibilite a la lumiere visible et au proche UV, bruit de fond thermique negligeable, rapport signal sur bruit considerablement plus grand.

Los autores han llevado a cabo el presente estudio a fin de efectuar mediciones de las radiaciones emitidas por los plasmas. Esos fotomultiplicadores pueden utilizarse para detectar fotones del ultravioleta lejano (100 ≤ λ ≤ 1500 A), de electrones (50 eV a 10 keV) y de iones de baja energia (varios keV). Los fotomultiplicadores estudiados (de 14, 15 y 17 etapas) van precedidos de un blanco o de un fotocatodo adaptado para esta utilizacion. Pueden acoplarse sencillamente a un recipiente al vacio (presion de trabajo: 10-5 mm Hg). La tension de alimentacion total es de 4000 a 5000 V. Se obtiene una buena estabilidad de ganancia con diodos de aleacion Ag-Mg o de Cu-Be. La ganancia total en funcion de la tension de alimentacion depende del tratamiento aplicado a los materiales y parece estar relacionada estrechamente con el estado de oxidacion. Los autores han determinado el coeficiente de emision secundaria en funcion de la energia de los electrones (50 eV a 20 keV) para las aleaciones de Cu-Be y de Ag-Mg oxidadas o no. En el campo de los rayos ultravioleta en el vacio, el fotomultiplicador sin ventana presenta varias ventajas respecto de un detector con convertidor luminoso (salicilato de sodio): mejor resolucion en el tiempo, rendimiento fotoelectron/foton UV cinco veces mas elevado, insensibilidad a la luz visible y al UV cercano, ruido de fondo termico despreciable, relacion senal/ruido considerablemente mas elevada.

AbstractAbstract
[en] The high-flux reactor of Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble provides intense neutron beams with capture fluxes up to 2 1010 n.cm-2s-1, as well as in-pile positions reaching capture fluxes up to 1.5 1015 n.cm-2s-1. Most of these cold, thermal and hot neutron beams serve instruments for neutron scattering applications, but three prominent instruments are also devoted to nuclear structure studies: 1. The fission fragment separator LOHENGRIN exploits an in-pile position where thin fissile or fertile targets are exposed to a thermal neutron flux of 5 1014 n.cm-2s-1. The recoiling, highly ionized fission fragments are separated by a magnetic dipole and an electrostatic dipole according to their mass over ionic charge and kinetic energy over ionic charge ratios. Thus, mass separated beams of neutron-rich isotopes between mass 80 and 160 become available for nuclear spectroscopy studies in the focal plane. The flight time to the focal plane is about 1.4 to 2 s, thus giving access to a large variety of microsecond isomers with half-lives as short as 0.5 s. So far over 70 different microsecond isomers and various beta-decaying isotopes have been observed and studied by gamma, conversion electron and delayed-neutron spectroscopy at LOHENGRIN. 2. Also the crystal spectrometer Gams uses an in-pile position where stable targets are exposed to a thermal neutron flux of 5 1014 n.cm-2s-1. The gamma rays emitted upon neutron capture or subsequent beta decay are analyzed by diffraction with a curved crystal spectrometer or a double flat- crystal spectrometer respectively. The former has better energy resolution than Ge detectors (in a third order reflection about 10 eV at 100 keV gamma ray energy and 1 keV for 1 MeV gammas), but even more importantly a very wide dynamic range of up to five orders of magnitude. Thus, weak gamma rays can be cleanly separated from neighboring intense background. Single and multi-neutron capture on stable target isotopes provides access to excited states in about 300 stable and slightly neutron-rich isotopes. When equipped with flat crystals, the energy resolution is further improved to the eV range enabling accurate measurements of the gamma ray energy and the observation of line broadening due to gamma ray induced Doppler broadening. The latter enables direct measurements of sub-picosecond lifetimes of excited states. 3. Coincidence measurements of prompt gamma rays from short-lived excited states populated in neutron-induced reactions are possible with detector setups placed at the external cold neutron beam PF1B finely collimated to a halo free pencil beam of 1 cm diameter. Recently three dedicated campaigns were performed with ray detector arrays consisting of Ge detectors, partially complemented by LaBr3:Ce detectors for fast timing studies. In 2012 and 2013 the EXILL campaign used a combination of EXOGAM, Gasp and Ill Ge detectors with up to 46 Compton suppressed Ge crystals and 16 LaBr3:Ce detectors of the FATIMA collaboration for fast timing measurements. A wealth of new nuclear structure data became available by these campaigns that employed 235U and 241Pu targets to populate neutron-rich nuclei in fission and over two dozen stable target isotopes for detailed (n, ) spectroscopy

AbstractAbstract
[en] This poster, prepared for the 2007 CEA meetings on scientific and technical information, presents the INIS information system, the document-types content and subject coverage of the database, the French contribution to this system thanks to the INIS team of the CEA-Saclay, the input preparation process, and an example of valorization of a scientific and historical patrimony with the CEA/IAEA joint project of digitization of about 2760 CEA reports published between 1948 and 1969. All these reports have been digitized by the IAEA and analyzed by CEA, and entered in the INIS database with a link to the full text. (J.S.)
