The log(ft) values of allowed β± decay between odd-A nuclei for 125 < A < 180 mass region are investigated. Single particle energies and wave functions are calculated by making use of a deformed Woods-Saxon potential. The calculations are performed in the framework of proton-neutron quasi particle random phase approximation (QRPA) including the schematic residual spin-isospin interaction among the nucleons in the particle hole channel. The calculations indicated that the results obtained through using the χGT=5.2/A0.7 are more in agreement with experimental observations.

Indoor radon activity concentrations and radon doses on the ground floor and basement floor of 19 schools (kindergardens, primary schools, secondary schools, and high schools) and thermal spas of Ilgin district in Konya, have been measured using the AlphaGUARD PQ 2000PRO radon detector, for three days in the first half of 2016. According to the results, while the indoor radon concentration for only one location, in total, is above the Turkish action level of 400 Bqm?3, the values for 10 locations are above the reference level of 100 Bqm?3, recommended by WHO. The calculated annual effective doses for inhalation of the radon in indoor air were also found to be 0.26 ?Sv for the minimum and 4.36 ?Sv for the maximum. The parametric distribution analysis is also performed with 3-parameter Weibull distribution and some remarks are provided on radon concentration activity.

The new Skyrme parameter set is determined by requiring that Variational Monte Carlo (VMC) calculations reproduce empirical values for properties of nuclear matter, such as binding energy per particle and saturation density. We found the new Landau parameter set by using the new Skyrme parameter set, the saturation density, and energy obtained from the new Skyrme parameter set for symmetric nuclear matter (SNM). Incompressibility of symmetric nuclear matter is also calculated by the described Skyrme-Landau Parameterization.

ABSTRACT. The normal mode frequencies and corresponding vibrational assignments, 1 H and 13 C NMR chemical shifts and structural parameters (bond lengths, bond and dihedral angles) of 2-[(1E)-2-aza-2-(5-methyl(2-pyridyl)ethenyl)]-4-bromobenzen-1-ol (2mpe-4bb) Schiff base compound have been theoretically examined by means of Hartree-Fock (HF) and Becke-3-Lee-Yang-Parr (B3LYP) density functional methods with 6-31G(d) and 6-311++G(d,p) basis sets. Furthermore, reliable vibrational assignments have made on the basis of potential energy distribution (PED) calculated and the thermodynamics functions, highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO) of 2mpe-4bb have been predicted. Theoretical results have been successfully compared with available experimental data in the literature. Regarding the calculations, 2mpe-4bb prefers enol-imine form and DFT method is superior to HF approach except for predicting bond lengths.

Photonuclear reactions have great importance in understanding the structure of the nuclei. These reactions, performed using the gamma rays obtained by way of bremsstrahlung, are a standard nuclear physics experiment. In this study, a non-enriched barium sample was activated for the first time by using a clinical linear accelerator (cLINACs). The spectrum of barium radioisotopes was obtained by using a gamma spectrometry with a high purity germanium (HPGe) detector. The obtained spectroscopic data were analyzed and energy levels and half-life values together with their uncertainties were obtained. Some energy levels and half-lives of [Formula: see text]Ba were determined with more precision than those of literature values.
