A natural carbon target was bombarded by protons in the energy range Ep = 9 to 24 MeV (Ex = 10 to 24 MeV in 13N). High-energy γ rays were detected in a NaI crystal oriented at 90° to the beam direction. Excitation functions were obtained for the 12.71 and 15.11 MeV γ rays from inelastic scattering on 12C and for capture γ rays from the reaction 12C(p, γo)13N. New structure is reported for all these reactions.

The problem of the existence of a change of slope in the γ-ray spectrum in the atmosphere is of considerable interest in connection with conclusions about the change in the character of the nucleon interaction. Up to now this problem has not been solved experimentally. In this report the γ-ray spectrum in the 1011–1013 eV energy range has been obtained using data from X-ray films and nuclear emulsions exposed on board an airplane at a pressure of 200 g/cm2. The total exposure was 425 hours∙m2. The energies of the electron–photon cascades initiated by γ rays were determined in the X-ray films by measuring the photometric densities of the black spots, and in nuclear emulsions by counting the electron tracks near the cascade axis. The integral spectrum has a power-law form with an exponent of 1.7–1.9. A change in slope in the spectrum was not found. Thus, a mechanism generating pions with energies proportional to the initial nucleon energies exists up to nucleon energies of ~1014 eV. The analysis of the accompaniment of γ rays by "families" shows that in one-third of the cases the energy of the most energetic π0 meson is at least five times that of the next π0 meson. In the remaining two-thirds of the cases the π0 mesons have comparable energies.

The neutron capture γ-ray spectra of fluorine, magnesium, gallium, bromine, and hafnium have been studied in the energy range above 3 Mev. In fluorine four γ-rays and in magnesium 12 γ-rays have been detected in addition to those previously observed. Most of these new radiations can be assigned to the known level schemes of the product nuclei. The spectrum obtained for each of the other elements is complex with only a few of the high energy γ-rays resolved, and in each case the γ-ray of highest energy is very weak and difficult to distinguish from the background. The most energetic gallium γ-ray at 7.73 ± 0.02 Mev. may be emitted in the direct ground state transition in Ga70 while the 7.879 ± 0.013 Mev. γ-ray from bromine probably corresponds to the ground state transition in Br80. In hafnium none of the observed γ-rays can be identified with a ground state transition in any of the isotopes.

Abstract Experiments were performed to evaluate production of 72Se, parent radionuclide of the positron emitter 72As, at high energy at the Brookhaven Linac Isotope Producer (BLIP). Excitation functions for 75As(p, xn)72/75Se in the 52-105 MeV energy range were measured by irradiating thin gallium arsenide (GaAs) wafers. Maximum cross section value for the natAs(p, 4n)72Se reaction in the energy range was 103±9 mb at 52±1 MeV. Production size GaAs and arsenic metal (As°) targets were irradiated with 136 μA and 165 μA beam current possessing an initial Linac energy of 117 MeV. A total of 3.77±0.1 GBq (102±3 mCi) of 72Se was produced from a GaAs target at a calculated target entrance energy of 105.4 MeV, and 13.8±0.3 GBq (373±8 mCi) of 72Se from an As° target at a calculated incident energy of 49.5 MeV irradiated for 116.5 h and 68.9 h, respectively.

Lasers have been well integrated in clinical dentistry for the last two decades, providing clinical alternatives in the management of both soft and hard tissues with an expanding use in the field of dental materials. One of their main advantages is that they can deliver very low to very high concentrated power at an exact point on any substrate by all possible means. The aim of this review is to thoroughly analyze the use of lasers in the processing of dental materials and to enlighten the new trends in laser technology focused on dental material management. New approaches for the elaboration of dental materials that require high energy levels and delicate processing, such as metals, ceramics, and resins are provided, while time consuming laboratory procedures, such as cutting restorative materials, welding, and sintering are facilitated. In addition, surface characteristics of titanium alloys and high strength ceramics can be altered. Finally, the potential of lasers to increase the adhesion of zirconia ceramics to different substrates has been tested for all laser devices, including a new ultrafast generation of lasers.

Abstract Using the dipole picture for electron-nucleus deep inelastic scattering at small Bjorken x, we study the effects of gluon saturation in the nuclear target on the cross-section for SIDIS (single inclusive hadron, or jet, production). We argue that the sensitivity of this process to gluon saturation can be enhanced by tagging on a hadron (or jet) which carries a large fraction z ≃ 1 of the longitudinal momentum of the virtual photon. This opens the possibility to study gluon saturation in relatively hard processes, where the virtuality Q2 is (much) larger than the target saturation momentum $$ {Q}_s^2 $$ Q s 2 , but such that z(1 − z)Q2 ≲ $$ {Q}_s^2 $$ Q s 2 . Working in the limit z(1 − z)Q2 ≪ $$ {Q}_s^2 $$ Q s 2 , we predict new phenomena which would signal saturation in the SIDIS cross-section. For sufficiently low transverse momenta k⊥ ≪ Qs of the produced particle, the dominant contribution comes from elastic scattering in the black disk limit, which exposes the unintegrated quark distribution in the virtual photon. For larger momenta k⊥ ≳ Qs, inelastic collisions take the leading role. They explore gluon saturation via multiple scattering, leading to a Gaussian distribution in k⊥ centred around Qs. When z(1 − z)Q2 ≪ Q2, this results in a Cronin peak in the nuclear modification factor (the RpA ratio) at moderate values of x. With decreasing x, this peak is washed out by the high-energy evolution and replaced by nuclear suppression (RpA< 1) up to large momenta k⊥ ≫ Qs. Still for z(1 − z)Q2 ≪ $$ {Q}_s^2 $$ Q s 2 , we also compute SIDIS cross-sections integrated over k⊥. We find that both elastic and inelastic scattering are controlled by the black disk limit, so they yield similar contributions, of zeroth order in the QCD coupling.

We briefly review some selected topics in the small x physics. In particular, we discuss the progress in the problem related to the resummation at small x and the parton saturation phenomena. Finally we discuss some phenomenological applications to deep inelastic scattering, hadron and heavy ion collisions.
