Y-ray energies and branching ratios for the first six excited levels of 35 C1 and the first three levels of 37 C1 have been measured. Proton-7-ray coincidence techniques were used to obtain p-p'-y correlations by means of the 35 C1 (p, p'y) 35 C1 and 37 C1 (p, p'y) 37 C1 reactions, with the inelastically scattered protons being detected at approximately 180° with respect to the beam axis. Analysis of the p-p'-y correlations placed limits on the spins and the electromagnetic multipole mixing ratios. The attenuated-Doppler-shift method was used to determine nuclear lifetimes for the first five excited levels of 35 C1 and the first two excited levels of 37 C1. All available data have been summarized and used in calculating radiative widths and multipole strengths.
Measurements have been made of the density of charged-particle tracks in the Brookhaven 20-in. hydrogen bubble chamber as a function of particle velocity and chamber operating conditions. The track density m is given by the function A (Ps)nβ−2 where, at 27°K, A=7.5×10−8 bubbles/cm of track, n=5.4, and Ps is the superheat pressure in psia in the chamber. The pressure superheat dependence Δm/(mΔPs)≅10% per psia; for tracks at different temperatures but with the same pressure superheat, the temperature dependence Δm/(mΔT) is in the range 5–15% per 0.1°K, over the region of normal chamber operation. Macroscopic bubbles grow at the rate 0.21 mm msec−½, until they are quenched by chamber recompression in proportion to their degree of internal energy. The measured track density dependencies are consistent with the view that bubbles originate on stopped secondary electrons produced in close collision processes, where distant collision influence is suppressed by the density effect much more for hydrogen than for the heavier bubble chamber liquids. It is shown that formation and growth of bubbles to critical size may be understood in terms of conventional fluid dynamics provided the expansion is extremely rapid. The secondary electron energies required for bubble formation at 27°K range from 80 to 292 eV depending on the superheat of the chamber.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
