Study of the 45Sc(n, γ) reaction

Summary report of the IAEA Consultants’ Meeting on Nuclear Data Forms and Observables for the Safe Monitoring, Characterization, Dismantling, Decommissioning and Disposal of Nuclear Fuel and Irradiated Material from Pile, Experiment, Facility and Nuclear Power Plant (MCDDD)

“…This is a rather puzzling effect in the capture reaction at about 6-7 MeV, especially in the view that the thermal cross section of 45 Sc is due to the bound region with two resonances with Ji = 3and 4 -. However, the polarized neutrons/target experiment yields the average spin admixture of <> = 0.05, with the absolute preference of the spin Ji = 3 - [1,33,34]. Ref.…”

“…Among them are the average resonance capture using different beam filters, such as B, Sc and Fe, (the ARC data) and from the capture in the discrete resonances that are then averaged numerically (DRC data). Final results have been documented in several papers [1,2,34] and the data base stored in ATLAS_PSF data base at NDS [35]. This library forms a solid data base of PSF values for nuclides with masses above A > 70-80 and the gamma-ray energies E > 4 MeV.…”

The climatological minimum in tropical outgoing infrared radiation: Contributions of humidity and clouds

“…They found that three different clouds (ranging from a thin cloud to an anvil) all exhibited the same variation of E with depth, E reaching 0.9 at 1 km depth. They also found that the radiative models of Hunt (1 973) and Liou (1974) consistently underestimated the emissivity for a given cloud icewater content. This led them to conclude that 'tropical cirrus cloud emissivities may be significantly larger than heretofore believed.'…”
