ABSTRACT: The β feeding probability of (102,104,105,106,107)Tc, 105Mo, and 101Nb nuclei, which are important contributors to the decay heat in nuclear reactors, has been measured using the total absorption technique. We have coupled for the first time a total absorption spectrometer to a Penning trap in order to obtain sources of very high isobaric purity. Our results solve a significant part of a long-standing discrepancy in the γ component of the decay heat for 239Pu in the 4-3000 s range.

ABSTRACT: Background: Antibiotic resistance is global health problem for all countries leading to additional health care cost. Irrational use of antibiotics is the most important reason for development of bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Infections don't stop at the borders; bacterial resistance to antibiotics may spread across borders.
Aims: To examine the antibiotic prescribing rate for patients with respiratory tract infection (RTIs) in general practice before and after intervention activities targeted professional and patients, including introduction of point of care tests: Strep A antigen test and C-reactive protein test (CRP) for the rational antibiotics prescribing in general practice and the decrease of bacterial resistance to antibiotics.
Materials and methods: HAPPY AUDIT is an EU-financed project with the aim of contributing to the fight against antibiotic resistance through quality improvement of general practitioners’ diagnosis and treatment of respiratory tract infections. General practitioners (GPs) in 6 countries (n=618) registered all consultation of patients (n=33273) with respiratory tract infections (RTIs) during a 3-week period, in winter or summer (Argentina) 2008 with using a special chart of APO method of audit before the intervention to improve the antibiotic use in general practice. In winter 2009 GPs in 6 countries (n=511) once more registered all consultation of patients (n=26262) with RTIs during a 3-week period after intervention activities targeted professional and patients, including implementation of point of care (POC) tests: Strep A antigen test and C-reactive protein test (CRP )in the GPs’ surgeries.
Results: The rate of antibiotic prescribing decrease of 10% after the intervention to improve the antibiotic use in general practice (from about 40% before to about 30% after).The within-practice correlation coefficient is 0.1. In countries where the POC test was been first implemented the results were higher. In Argentina a relative reduction of the total antibiotic prescribing of more than 20% has taken place. In Lithuania the antibiotic prescribing has been nearly halved. In Kaliningrad the prescribing of antibiotics has more than halved. In Spain the doctors’ prescribing of antibiotics has been reduced by one third.
Conclusion: The use of APO method of audit and implementing the POC test in general practice may lead to a reduction in antibiotic prescribing to patients with RTIs and may lead to decrease of bacterial resistance to antibiotics.

ABSTRACT: The transfer of neutrons onto 24Ne has been measured using a reaccelerated radioactive beam of 24Ne to study the (d,p) reaction in inverse kinematics. The unusual raising of the first 3/2+ level in 25Ne and its significance in terms of the migration of the neutron magic number from N=20 to N=16 is put on a firm footing by confirmation of this state's identity. The raised 3/2+ level is observed simultaneously with the intruder negative parity 7/2- and 3/2- levels, providing evidence for the reduction in the N=20 gap. The coincident gamma-ray decays allowed the assignment of spins as well as the transferred orbital angular momentum. The excitation energy of the 3/2+ state shows that the established USD shell model breaks down well within the sd model space and requires a revised treatment of the proton-neutron monopole interaction.

ABSTRACT: A general experimental technique for high resolution studies of nucleon transfer reactions using radioactive beams is briefly described, together with the first new physics results that have been obtained with the new TIARA array. These first results from TIARA are for the reaction 24Ne(d,p)25Ne, studied in inverse kinematics with a pure radioactive beam of 100,000 pps from the SPIRAL facility at GANIL. The reaction probes the energies of neutron orbitals relevant to very neutron rich nuclei in this mass region and the results highlight the emergence of the N=16 magic number for neutrons and the associated disappearance of the N=20 neutron magic number for the very neutron rich neon isotopes.

ABSTRACT: The decay heat of the fission products plays an important role in predicting the heat-up of nuclear fuel after reactor shutdown. This form of energy release is calculated as the sum of the energy-weighted activities of all fission products P(t) = {sigma}E{sub i}{lambda}{sub i}N{sub i}(t), where E{sub i} is the decay energy of nuclide i(gamma and beta component), {lambda}{sub i} is the decay constant of nuclide i and N{sub i}(t) is the number of nuclide i at cooling time t. Even though the reproduction of the measured decay heat has improved in recent years, there is still a long standing discrepancy at t{approx}1000 s cooling time for some fuels. A possible explanation for this disagreement can been found in the work of Yoshida et al., who demonstrated that an incomplete knowledge of the {beta}-decay of some Tc isotopes could be the source of the systematic discrepancy. We have recently measured the {beta}-decay process of some Tc isotopes using a total absorption spectrometer at the IGISOL facility in Jyvaeskylae. The results of the measurements are discussed, along with their impact on summation calculations.

ABSTRACT: The decay heat of fission products plays an important role in predictions of the heat up of nuclear fuel in reactors.
The released energy is calculated as the summation of the activities of all fission products
P(t) = åEiliNi(t)P(t) =\sum E_i\lambda_iN_i(t)
,
where Ei is the decay energy of nuclide i, λi is the decay constant of nuclide i and Ni(t) is the
number of nuclide i at cooling time t. Even though the reproduction of the measured decay heat has improved in recent
years, there is still a long standing discrepancy in the t ∼1000 s cooling time for some fuels.
A possible explanation to this improper description has been found in the work of Yoshida et al [1], where it has been
shown that the incomplete knowledge of the β-decay of some Tc isotopes can be the source of the systematic discrepancy.
Motivated by [1], we have recently measured the β-decay process of some Tc isotopes using a total absorption spectrometer
at the IGISOL facility in Jyväskylä. The results of the measurements as well as the their consequences on summation
calculations are discussed.

ABSTRACT: Gamma decays from excited states up to Jpi=6+ in the N=Z-2 nucleus 54Ni have been identified for the first time. Level energies are compared with those of the isobars 54Co and 54Fe and of the cross-conjugate nuclei of mass A=42. The good but puzzling f7/ cross-conjugate symmetry in mirror and triplet energy differences is analyzed. Shell model calculations reproduce the new data but the necessary nuclear charge-dependent phenomenology is not fully explained by modern nucleon-nucleon potentials.

ABSTRACT: Measurements of beta decay reduced transition probabilities are particularly relevant in nuclei far from the stability line. It has been demonstrated that a proper measurement of this quantity requires the use of the total absorption technique, which has become a reliable tool in recent years, thanks to the increased efficiency of the associated spectrometers and the development of new analysis techniques. In this paper, we present a brief history of the past and present use of these detectors and how they might be developed in the future.

ABSTRACT: The first physics results measured using the TIARA array are reported. The reaction 24Ne(d,p)25Ne has been studied in inverse kinematics with a radioactive beam of 24Ne provided by SPIRAL at GANIL. TIARA is very compact with a high geometrical coverage for charged particles, and is designed specifically for the study of transfer reactions in inverse kinematics, with radioactive beams. From the (d,p) differential cross sections, the ground state of 25Ne is assigned to have Jπ = 1/2+ and the lowest states with Jπ = 5/2+ and 3/2+ are tentatively identified at excitation energies of 1.70 and 2.05 (±0.05) MeV, respectively. Coincident gamma-ray data proved essential to resolve these two excited states. Strongly populated levels observed at 3.30 and 4.05 (±0.05) MeV are candidates for negative parity states. Further analysis of the differential cross sections is in progress, with the aim of improving the identification of the higher lying states and determining absolute spectroscopic factors.

ABSTRACT: Results from a study in inverse kinematics of the 24Ne(d, pγ)25Ne reaction, using a radioactive beam of 24Ne from the SPIRAL facility at GANIL, are reported. First, a brief overview is given of several methods using radioactive
beams to study the classic single-nucleon transfer reactions such as (d, p) or (d, t)/(d, 3He), where the experimental design is strongly influenced by the extreme inverse kinematics. A promising approach to deliver
good energy resolution is to combine a high geometrical efficiency for kinematically complete charged particle detection with
a high efficiency array for gamma-ray detection. One of the first dedicated set-ups for this type of experiment is the TIARA
silicon strip array combined with the EXOGAM segmented germanium array. Together they comprise a highly compact, position-sensitive
particle array with 90% of 4π coverage, mounted inside a cubic arrangement of four segmented gamma-ray detectors in very close
geometry with 67% of 4π active coverage. Using this setup, the structure of 25Ne has been studied via the (d, p) reaction. A pure ISOL beam of 105 s−1 of 24Ne at 10 MeV/A was provided by SPIRAL and bombarded a CD2 target of 1 mg/cm2. The 25Ne was detected at the focal plane of the VAMOS spectrometer where the direct beam was separated and intercepted. Reaction
protons were detected in coincidence with little background. Four resolved peaks were recorded between E
x = 0 and 4 MeV. The data confirm and extend the results from a multinucleon transfer study using the (13C,14O) reaction. Further information has been obtained using the energies of coincident gamma-rays. The reactions 24Ne(d, dγ)24Ne, 24Ne(d, t)23Ne and 24Ne(d, 3He)23F were recorded simultaneously and analysis of these is also underway.

ABSTRACT: A compact, quasi-4π position sensitive silicon array, TIARA, designed to study direct reactions induced by radioactive beams in inverse kinematics is described here. The Transfer and Inelastic All-angle Reaction Array (TIARA) consists of 8 resistive charge division detectors forming an octagonal barrel around the target and a set of double-sided silicon-strip annular detectors positioned at each end of the barrel. The detector was coupled to the γ-ray array EXOGAM and the spectrometer VAMOS at the GANIL Laboratory to demonstrate the potential of such an apparatus with radioactive beams. The reaction, well known in direct kinematics, has been carried out in inverse kinematics for that purpose. The observation of the ground state and excited states at 7.16 and 7.86 MeV is presented here as well as the comparison of the measured proton angular distributions with DWBA calculations. Transferred l-values are in very good agreement with both theoretical calculations and previous experimental results obtained in direct kinematics.
