  • Stable Isotopes of Cobalt Properties of Cobalt
    Stable Isotopes of Cobalt Isotope Z(p) N(n) Atomic Mass Natural Abundance Nuclear Spin Co-59 27 32 58.93320 100.00% 7/2- Cobalt was discovered in 1735 by Georg Brandt. Its name derives from the German word kobald, meaning "goblin" or "evil spirit." Minerals containing cobalt were used by the early civilizations of Egypt and Mesopotamia for coloring glass deep blue. Cobalt oxide is used today to add a pink or blue color to glass. It is also an important trace element in soils and necessary for animal nutrition. The most important modern use of cobalt is in the manufacture of various wear-resistant and superalloys. Its alloys have shown high resistance to corrosion and oxidation at high temperatures. Radioactive Cobalt-60 is used in radiography and in the sterilization of food. A silvery-white, shining, hard, ductile, somewhat malleable metal, cobalt is also ferromagnetic, with permeability two-thirds that of iron. It has exceptional magnetic properties in alloys. It is attached by dilute hydrochloric and sulfuric acids. It corrodes readily in air, and it has unusual coordinating properties, especially the trivalent ion. It is noncombustible except in powder form. Cobalt occurs in two allotropic modifications over a wide range of temperatures: the crystalline close-packed- hexagonal form is known as the alpha form, which turns into the beta (or gamma) form above 417 ºC. In finely powdered form, cobalt ignites spontaneously in air. Reactions with acetylene and bromine pentafluoride proceed to incandescence and can become violent. The metal is moderately toxic by ingestion. Inhalation of dusts can damage lungs.

Huber Summary The aim of the proposed experiment is to measure the optical isotope shifts and hyperfine structures of bismuth isotopes in the region 21°'2“Bi which lie above the N=126 shell closure. The change in nuclear mean square charge radii and static moments can be deduced. These will be the first isotones of lead to be measured immediately above the shell closure. This will provide new information on the systematics of the kink in the charge radii change with neutron number seen in the Pb isotopic chain, and will represent the first measurement of the odd proton hg/2 moment in the region above the closed 2°8Pb core. Laser resonance fluorescence will be used on the isotopic bismuth samples as they are released into a gas cell trap. This is a method that has been applied very successfully at SUNY, Stony Brook to the neutron deficient bismuth isotopes and it makes efficient use of the small samples available. The bismuth samples of 212Bi and 213Bi will be prepared by catching intense beams of 22°Fr and 2"Fr on thin lead foils.

In recent work, Luminescence Cell Imaging (LCI) has been combined with radioisotopes, leading to compounds that can be imaged with both optical microscopy and nuclear techniques. Radiometals excel in this multifunctional setting, providing ideal chemical and nuclear properties for luminescence, bi- ological targeting, nuclear diagnostics, and therapy. Iridium cyclometalate compounds have demonstrated potential in LCI with excellent photophysical properties. Independently, low specific activity 192Ir has been successfully applied in brachytherapy as a high-intensity β− emitter.

It is named for the asteroid Pallas, which was discovered at about the same time, as well as for the Greek name Pallas, goddess of wisdom. A silver-white, ductile metal, palladium has a face-centered cubic crystalline structure and does not tarnish in air. It is the least noble (most reactive) of the platinum group and can absorb up to 800 times its own volume of hydrogen. Upon doing so, the metal swells, becoming brittle and cracked. Such absorption of hydrogen decreases the electrical conductivity of the metal. Also, such absorption activates molecular hydrogen, dissociating it to atomic hydrogen. It is attacked by hot, concentrated nitric acid and boiling sulfuric acid. It is soluble in aqua regia, fused alkalis, hot nitric acid and boiling sulfuric acid, and insoluble in organic acids and water. It is a good electrical conductor. It is nontoxic and noncombustible, except as dust. The metal forms mostly bivalent compounds, although a small number of tetravalent and fewer trivalent compounds are known.

The primary advantages of targeted α-therapy with 211At are that the α-particle radiation is densely ionizing, translating to high relative biological effectiveness (RBE), and short-range, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. In addition, theranostic imaging with 123I surrogates has shown promise for developing new therapies with 211At and translating them to the clinic. Currently, Canada does not have a way of producing 211At by conventional methods because it lacks α-particle accelerators with necessary beam energy and intensity.

  • Cosmogenic Production As a Background in Searching For
    Cosmogenic Production as a Background in Searching for Rare Physics Processes D.-M. Mei a , Z.-B. Yin a,b,c,1, S. R. Elliott d aDepartment of Physics, The University of South Dakota, Vermillion, South Dakota 57069 bInstitute of Particle Physics, Huazhong Normal University, Wuhan 430079, China cKey Laboratory of Quark & Lepton Physics (Huazhong Normal University), Ministry of Education, China dLos Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico 87545 Abstract We revisit calculations of the cosmogenic production rates for several long-lived iso- topes that are potential sources of background in searching for rare physics processes such as the detection of dark matter and neutrinoless double-beta decay. Using up- dated cosmic-ray neutron flux measurements, we use TALYS 1.0 to investigate the cosmogenic activation of stable isotopes of several detector targets and find that the cosmogenic isotopes produced inside the target materials and cryostat can result in large backgrounds for dark matter searches and neutrinoless double-beta decay. We use previously published low-background HPGe data to constrain the production of 3H on the surface and the upper limit is consistent with our calculation. We note that cosmogenic production of several isotopes in various targets can generate po- arXiv:0903.2273v1 [nucl-ex] 12 Mar 2009 tential backgrounds for dark matter detection and neutrinoless double-beta decay with a massive detector, thus great care should be taken to limit and/or deal with the cosmogenic activation of the targets.
