Houghton University Digital Archives

The Houghton University Archives serves the students, faculty, staff, administration and alumni of Houghton University by collecting and maintaining a historical record of the University story. The Archives collects, organizes, preserves, and makes accessible materials critical to understanding the historic, present, and future mission of Houghton University and to nurturing identity, purpose, and unity in the University community. This DSpace site provides access to some of the Houghton University's digital collections.

Ultrafast high power lasers may be used to generate short pulses of energetic ions that can be used for nuclear activation cross section measurements The Short Lived Isotope Counting System ( was developed to count the beta decays of radioactive product nuclei resulting from light ion reactions generated in this way One important SLICS parameter, which has been determined using a Geant 4 simulation, is the detection efficiency, the ratio of detected betas to number of product nuclei To test this prediction, an experiment was carried out using the SUNY Geneseo Pelletron A deuteron beam incident on a thin natural Li target created 840 ms half life 8 Li via the 7 Li( d,p 8 Li reaction The beta particles from the 8 Li decay were identified and counted by the SLICS detector, a dE E phoswich detector telescope Alpha particles from 8 Li(d,α) 4 He on the same natural lithium target were counted by a silicon surface barrier detector at various backward angles The efficiency of the SLICS detector was determined using the number of the α and β particles counted by the two detectors and the previously measured cross sections and Li isotopic abundances. This material is based upon work supported by the Department of Energy [National Nuclear Security Administration] University of Rochester “National Inertial Confinement Fusion Program” under Award Number(s) DE NA 0004144 and by SUNY Geneseo and Houghton University
