Radioactive noble-gas isotopes, Kr (half-life t1/2=10.8 y), Ar (t1/2=269 y), and Kr (t1/2=229,000 y), are ideal tracers and can be detected by atom trap trace analysis (ATTA), a laser-based technique, from environmental samples like air and groundwater. Prior to ATTA measurements, it is necessary to efficiently extract krypton and argon gases from samples. Using a combination of cryogenic disti...

High-temperature laser target implosions can be achieved by using relatively thin-shell targets, and they can be diagnosed by doping the fuel with krypton and measuring K-shell and L-shell lines. Electron temperatures of up to 5 keV at modest compressed densities (~ 1-5 g/cm3) are predicted for such experiments, with ion temperatures peaking above 10 keV at the center. It is found that the prof...

Shear and bulk viscosity and thermal conductivity for argon, krypton, xenon, and methane and the binary mixtures argon+krypton and argon+methane were determined by equilibrium molecular dynamics with the Green-Kubo method. The fluids were modeled by spherical Lennard-Jones pair-potentials with parameters adjusted to experimental vapor liquid-equilibria data alone. Good agreement between the pre...

II. EXPERIMENTAL REQUIREMENTS ON CALORIMETER Decays of K mesons into ππ are reconstructed imposing that the four photons detected by the calorimeter have invariant mass equal to the kaon mass, checking that the kaon candidate parent is collinear with the beam direction, and that gamma pairs can be reconstructed as originating from π decays. The main detector requirements can be classified as fo...
