UV dominant optical emission newly detected from radioisotopes and XRF sources

Abstract: The current paper reports first and definite experimental evidence for γ-, X-, or β radiation causing UV dominant optical radiation from (1) radiochemicals such as 131 I; (2) XRF sources such as Rb XRF source present as salts; and (3) metal sources such as 57 Co, and Cu XRF sources. Due to low quantum yield a need arose to develop two techniques with narrow band optical filters, and sheet polarizers that helped in the successful detection of optical radiation. The metal 57 Co spectrum observed at room temperat… Show more

“…Only a limited few were traditionally believed to be Fe, He, Mg, and Ne lines as shown in Fig.1, yet complete disagreement was reported between solar lines and the latest measurement of Fe lines, say between solar 17.1073 nm emission and Fe IX emission [1]. Truly speaking, on valence excitation the Sun's Bharat Radiation generates a ‗new class of atomic spectral line emissions' in EUV, UV, visible and near infrared range regardless of temperature from within the excited radioisotopic ions remaining in atomic state [10].…”

“…Understanding the phenomenon needed advanced knowledge in the fields of nuclear physics, X-ray physics, and atomic spectroscopy. A surprise finding, optical emission detected from Rb XRF source in 1988 led to the discovery of a previously unknown atomic phenomenon causing Bharat radiation emission followed by optical emission from radioisotopes and XRF sources reported in 2010 [10]. The same phenomenon was found causing the Sunlight.…”

“…Accordingly, GOES X-rays could be of 7.0 nm wavelength, 13.3 nm represents Bharat Radiation emission ranging from 12.87 to 31.0 nm, and 33.5 nm represents EUV emission [4]. Previously, the author was able to explain that 7.0 nm GOES X-rays generated 13.3 nm Bharat Radiation, which in turn generated 33.5 nm EUV emission on valence excitation within the same excited atoms present in solar flare [4,12]. Therefore, all the three emissions emerged from same excited atoms present in the same solar flare and also reached the same detector assembly.…”
