Right Ascension

A source of gamma rays has been found at right ascension 20h15m, declination +35°, with an uncertainty of 6° in each coordinate. Its flux is (1·5 ± 0·8) x 10-4photons cm-2sec-1at 100 MeV. Possible identifications are reviewed, but no conclusion is reached. The mechanism producing the radiation is also uncertain.

AbstractThe experiment SONG (SOlar Neutron and Gamma rays) for the low altitude satellite CORONAS-I is described. The instrument is capable to provide gamma-ray line and continuum detection in the energy range 0.1 – 100 MeV as well as detection of neutrons with energies above 30 MeV. As a by-product, the electrons in the range 11 – 108 MeV will be measured too. The pulse shape discrimination technique (PSD) is used.

The developing mammalian fetus is thought to be highly sensitive to ionizing radiation. However, dose, dose-rate relationships are not well established, especially the long term effects of protracted, low-dose exposure. A previous report (1) has indicated that bred beagle bitches exposed to daily doses of 5 to 35 R 60Co gamma rays throughout gestation can produce viable, seemingly normal offspring. Puppies irradiated in utero are distinguishable from controls only by their smaller size, dental abnormalities, and, in adulthood, by their inability to bear young.We report here our preliminary microscopic evaluation of ovarian pathology in young pups continuously irradiated throughout gestation at daily (22 h/day) dose rates of either 0.4, 1.0, 2.5, or 5.0 R/day of gamma rays from an attenuated 60Co source. Pups from non-irradiated bitches served as controls. Experimental animals were evaluated clinically and hematologically (control + 5.0 R/day pups) at regular intervals.

Beams of heavy ions from particle accelerators are used to produce radiation damage in metal alloys. The damaged layer extends several microns below the surface of the specimen with the maximum damage and depth dependent upon the energy of the ions, type of ions, and target material. Using 4 MeV heavy ions from a Van de Graaff accelerator causes peak damage approximately 1 μm below the specimen surface. To study this area, it is necessary to remove a thickness of approximately 1 μm of damaged metal from the surface (referred to as “sectioning“) and to electropolish this region to electron transparency from the unirradiated surface (referred to as “backthinning“). We have developed electropolishing techniques to obtain electron transparent regions at any depth below the surface of a standard TEM disk. These techniques may be applied wherever TEM information is needed at a specific subsurface position.
