Pulsatile lavage is a high-pressure irrigation treatment commonly used in the debridement of wounds. The risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens and contaminants using high-pressure irrigation has been well documented in the literature. Projectile droplets and aerosolized fine droplets may form and spread, potentially contaminating the treatment facility and infecting personnel. A new devic...

A time-dependent close-coupling method is developed to treat the double ionization of helium by fast bare ion collisions. At high incident energies, charge transfer to the projectile is quite small, so that the two-electron wavefunction remains centred on the target, subject to a time-dependent projectile interaction. A multipole expansion of the projectile–atom interaction includes monopole, d...

Products from the reaction of 45 MeV/A beams of S on targets of Sn were measured with the Forward Array Using Silicon Technology (FAUST) [1]. Charged particle identification and energy calibration of the array have been completed [2]. The design of the FAUST Array selects heavily against particles emitted from a target like source. For peripheral reactions, this allows for relatively straightfo...

Coulomb Dissociation provides an alternative method for determining the radiative capture cross sections at astrophysically relevant low relative energies. For the breakup of 8 B on 58 Ni, we calculate the total Coulomb Dissociation cross section and the angular distribution for E1, E2 and M1. Our calculations are performed first within the standard first order semiclassical theory of Coulomb E...

The capture of a target electron to the projectile continuum with simultaneous photon emission, known as radiative ionization (RI), is investigated theoretically for fast, highly charged projectiles colliding with light target atoms. Based on the impulse approximation in its post form, the features of radiative ionization are studied and contrasted with the related processes of radiative electr...

Two models for describing the operation of a magnetic travelling wave accelerator, the transmission line model and the lumped parameter model, are analyzed. For both cases the current distribution and the magnetic field are calculated. It is shown that the transmission line model can be obtained as the limiting case of the lumped parameter model. It is then assumed that a superconducting soleno...

In the paper, an engineering model for the impact breakup of the space target is studied based on the thin plate. The average fragment size model for the impact breakup of the thin plate is established depending on the strain rate, according as Poisson statistic fragments are discrete and distribution model is figured out. On the foundation of the constitution analysis for the target and projec...
