ORNL actinide materials and a new detection system for superheavy nuclei

ORNL actinide materials and a new detection system for superheavy nuclei

The actinide resources and production capabilities at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) are reviewed, including potential electromagnetic separation of rare radioactive materials. The first experiments at the Dubna Gas Filled Recoil Separator (DGFRS) with a new digital detection system developed...
