The 6th Scintillation Counter Symposium

May 1958
Physics Today 11(5)

DOI:10.1063/1.3062555

Authors:

The scintillation counter, since it was first described as a means for detection of gamma rays by H. Kallmann in Germany and Coltman and Marshall in the United States in 1947, has developed very rapidly and is now one of the most important tools for nuclear research. In order to keep those interested in the field informed of the progress that is being made, a series of symposia has been held biennially. These symposia bring together both those who use the scintillation counter as a tool to further their research and those charged with the development of the device itself. The value of most technical meetings lies not only in the formal papers presented but also in the informal discussions which occur between (and sometimes during) the formal sessions. This is particularly true of the Scintillation Counter Symposia where many of those in attendance are top?level experts in the field.

EDITORIAL: Microflow meets metrology Microflow meets metrology

July 2010 · Measurement Science and Technology

Henning Wolf

This special feature is dedicated to methods and applications of high-precision flow rate measurements at flow rates in the range of µl/min and below. It comprises papers from authors who gave lectures at the 250th PTB Seminar 'European Meeting on Microflow Metrology', held at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Germany, on 24–25 June 2009 and sponsored by the Helmholtz Funds e.V., ... [Show full abstract] Germany. More than 40 experts from national metrology institutes, universities and manufactures of flowmeters, and from seven European countries, attended the seminar. The main goal of the seminar was to discuss the measurement of very small flow rates on a metrological basis. The lectures covered measurements of flow rates of liquids as well as of gases. Manufacturers discussed their developments of commercial flowmeters for low flow rates, and first approaches towards a measurement traceable to the SI were introduced by the national metrology institutes. Thus, many interesting discussions were stimulated between various groups, in particular between those working in metrology and on applications. The measurement of very low flow rates traceable to the SI is just beginning. So many approaches have not yet been finished or are at the moment only at the status of a proof of principle. The papers in this special feature give an insight into these different approaches and mark the beginning of an exciting way towards the measurement of small and ultrasmall flow rates.

Higgs Bosons and the Indirect Search for WIMPs

January 2001

We investigated the contribution of the MSSM Higgs bosons produced in the neutralino annihilation in the Earth and Sun to the total WIMPs detection signals. We found that this contribution is very important and results in a lower bound for the muon flux from the Sun of 10^{-7} - 10^{-8} m^{-2} yr^{-1} for neutralinos heavier than 200 GeV. We noticed that due to the SUSY charged Higgs bosons one ... [Show full abstract] can expect an energetic tau neutrino flux from the Sun at a level of 10^2 m^{-2} yr^{-1}. Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures. Talk given at Dark2000, Heidelberg, Germany, 10-15 July, 2000

An Investigation Of The Effect Of Methods Of Recording Accounting Principle Changes On The Decisions...

January 2006 · International Business & Economics Research Journal (IBER)

Linda M. Nichols

Formerly in the United States, most accounting principle changes were traditionally recorded using the cumulative effect method, wherein the net effect of the principle change flows through the income statement as a special item. International accounting standards, in comparison, have recorded accounting principle changes retrospectively by adjusting beginning stockholders' equity in the year of ... [Show full abstract] the change. In 2002, the FASB began a convergence project with the IASB, in which they have and are attempting to agree on standard accounting treatments in areas in which the U.S. standards and IAS differ. The project initially looked at seventeen areas of difference in which it was believed that convergence could be reached. One of those areas was in accounting for principle changes. Resulting from the convergence project, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154 in 2005, which changes U.S. GAAP to require that accounting principle changes be recorded retrospectively, as is required by international standards. This study examines the decisions of statement users in the U.S., Germany, and Austria to determine if the method of accounting used for principle changes affects their decisions. The findings reveal that the method used in interaction with the home country of the user has a significant effect on the decisions of statement users.

Another final battle on the stage of history

Taking its point of departure in remarks made by Ulrike Meinhof during the 1972 trial in West Germany of Horst Mahler, this paper goes on to examine some of the ideas and assumptions of the members of the terrorist group to which he belonged. Meinhof's as well as Mahler's views of the Jews in Germany and their fate, including their charge of a conspiracy on the part of the malevolent powers, are ...

This millenarian tradition has had a long history in Germany, comprising anarchic, egalitarian, and communistic elements. Examples are the followers of John Hus and Thomas Müntzer. The need for group identification is also strong in the millenarians of the present day who believe in and act unquestioningly upon tenets such as those of terrorist groups like the Red Army Faction which, fortunately, has not gained the following of such predecessors as Hitler's Third Reich.

The challenges of using radar for pedestrian detection

July 2011

K. Mansion

The potential for using radar for all the pedestrian detection requirements of Puffin crossings has been a possibility for several years, but delivering a solution that performs reliably has proved illusive. The new versions of the Heimdall detector family from Siemens now seem to have the answer, but their development has been a significant challenge for the technical teams in the UK and Germany ...

Research teams based in Germany and the UK have demonstrated laser-based nuclear transmutation for the first time. The teams showed that iodine-129, which has a half-life of 15.7 million years, can be converted into short-lived iodine-128 using a laser-based source of gamma rays. The lighter isotope has a half-life of just 25 minutes. The work could have applications in the production of medical ...
