Cavity Ringdown Spectroscopy in Nitrogen/Oxygen Mixtures in the Presence of Alpha Radiation
… computational models under development for radiation-induced atmospheric effects. Cavity Ringdown Spectroscopy (CRDS) was used to measure the concentration of chemical products generated as a result of radiation interactions in a controlled atmosphere. Experiments were conducted in a vacuum …

A System For Conducting Laser-Induced Fluorescence Measurements On Gas Mixtures Exposed To Alpha Radiation
… model that calculates the effects of radiation within the atmosphere. The computational model could reveal radiation-induced chemical products that can be used to develop an alternative detection method that can be implemented from a safe distance. The selection of molecules for …

Tetracycline-7-boronic acid
… neutrons, thus producing localized high-energy alpha radiation. The fact that the tetracyclines are not retained by normal tissue should remove the danger of destruction of this tissue.

Ion Beam Synthesis and Irradiation for Si-Based Photonic Materials and Nuclear Waste Management
… of material synthesis and interactions of radiation with materials using ion beam techniques, with applications in Si photonics and in nuclear waste management. Advances in electronics and telecommunications drive the need for Si-based optical materials (group IV alloys) with tunable …

Reoxygenation of hypoxic coronary smooth muscle cells amplifies growth-retarding effects of ionizing irradiation
… oxygen species of these cells undergoing alpha-irradiation are changed by reoxygenation. <br>Hypoxic and reoxygenated HCSMCs were irradiated with alpha-radiation at single doses of 4, 8 and 16 Gy using a 60Co-source. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene expression was …

Uranium Enrichment Signatures of Fluorinated Epoxy
… Scanning Calorimetry, this thesis shows that alpha radiation from uranium can cause a detectable change in the glass transition temperature in UV cured fluorinated epoxy (a material which can be used uranium enrichment cascades) at doses equivalent to enriching enough uranium to make on the …

A System for Measuring Radiation Induced Chemical Products in Atmospheric Gases Using Optical Detection Methods
… characterize the chemical products generated by radiation interacting with atmosphere. One method of detecting ionizing radiation is to monitor the radiation induced products in the atmosphere around the source. This project explored the potential for using Cavity Ringdown Spectroscopy to …
