Nuclear Data Sheets for A=105☆

This work presents new evaluation of A=105 nuclear structure and decay data. It covers a range of nuclei from the very neutron-rich {sup 105}{sub 38}Sr to the extremely neutron-deficient {sup 105}{sub 52}Te, known also to be the doughter of the lightest alpha decaying nucleus {sup 109}I. The work is based on experimental studies performed in the last 73 years, where A=105 nuclei were produced in particle transfer, fusion/evaporation reactions, sponataneus and induced fission, fusion and fragmentation of relativistic beams, radioactive decay etc.

Very high resolution radiometer

A primary sensor used in environmental and earth-resource observation, the Very High Resolution Radiometer (VHRR) was designed for use on the ITOS D series spacecraft. The VHRR provides a 0.47 mile resolution made possible with a mercury-cadmium-telluride detector cooled to approximately 105 K by a passive radiator cooler. The components of this system are described. The optical subsystem of the VHRR consists of a scanning mirror, a Dall-Kirkham telescope, a dichroic beam splitter, relay lenses, spectral filters, and an IR detector. Signal electronics amplify and condition the signals from the infrared and visible light detector. Sync generator electronics provides the necessary time signals. Scan-drive electronics is used for commutation of the motor winding, velocity, and phase control. A table lists the performance parameters of the VHRR.

A CCD scanned (Hg, Cd)Te array for earth viewing applications

A 9 channel demonstration of 10 micrometer photoconductive mercury cadmium telluride detector array, bipolar preamplifiers, and a Si CCD multiplexer, integrated into a focal plane assembly and operating at 105 K and at 17 Hz is reported. The result of a direct coupling experiment between a 5-micrometer photovoltaic mercury cadmium telluride photodiode and a CCD is revealed. No appreciable degradation in the signal-to-noise ratio was experienced.

Core-excited states in 105 Cd

105 Cd was produced in the 96 Mo+ 12 C fusion/evaporation reaction, performed at NIPNE, Bucharest-Magurele, Romania. Various excited states of positive- and negative-parities were populated. Picosecond half-lives were measured by using the Differential Decay Curve Method (DDCM) method, allowing to control the side feeding of the states of interest. Further, new data were obtained for the half-lives of the 11/2 + , 15/2 - and 19/2 -105 Cd states. Reduced electric quadrupole transition strengths were calculated and compared to the neighboring odd-A and even-A cadmium nuclei. The particle-core weak coupling approach was used to interpret excited states of 105 Cd in the light of the new data.
