Based on the semiclassical theory of chaotic scattering, Tanner et al. [J. Phys. B 40, F157 (2007)] proposed the fluctuation in the partial photoionization cross section of helium below the double-ionization threshold would show the same characteristics as in the total cross section, predicting that the Fourier spectrum of the fluctuation reveals peaks at the classical actions of closed triple collision orbits and the amplitude of the fluctuation decreases algebraically as the energy approaches the double-ionization threshold. In that paper, however, the predictions were not clearly confirmed due to the lack of experimental data with sufficient accuracy. So instead, we calculate the partial photoionization cross sections of collinear eZe helium for the energy range from the single-ionization threshold $I_{20}$ to $I_{32}$ in order to numerically confirm the predictions. Analysis of the fluctuation in the partial cross section shows that the predictions are indeed valid. Our findings mean that the fluctuation in the partial photoionization cross section can be described by classical triple collision orbits in the semiclassical limit. Thus it explains in a natural way the mirroring and mimicking structures observed in cross section signals for different ionization channels.

This paper reports results on the physical properties of a powder type of $Al_2O_3:C$ commonly used as a luminescence dosimeter using the LM-OSL technique. On the analysis with the general order kinetics model, the LM-OSL signal measured appeared to be composed of three components (fast, medium, slow) showing the largest area in the medium component. The photoionization cross sections of three components were distributed between $10^{-19}{\sim}10^{-21}cm^2$. The values of the thermal assistance energy were evaluated the largest in slow component and the smallest in fast component, which indicates the electrons trapped in defects attributed to slow component should be the most sensitive to thermal vibration among three components. In illumination to blue light, the fast component showed a rapid linear decay and completely disappeared after light exposure time of about 5 s. The medium component decayed with two exponential elements but the slow component did not observed any noticeable change until light exposure time of 40 s. In a dose response study, all components exhibited a linear behaviour up to approximately 10 Gy.

이 연구에서는 소골 유적 29호 및 29-1호 주거지 내부에 사용 시기를 달리하여 존재하는 3개의 화덕자리에 대한 광자극발광(OSL) 연대측정을 수행하였다. 연대측정에 앞서 석영 시료의 자연 OSL 신호 관찰 및 절대영년도 평가를 수행한 결과, OSL 신호는 광이온화 단면적이 커 열과 빛에 매우 민감한 fast 성분만으로 이루어졌으며 청동기인들의 일반적인 난방 및 취사 온도인 $300^{\circ}C$ 이하에서도 완벽히 절대영년 됨을 알 수 있었다. 각 시료의 고고선량은 단일시료재현법을 적용한 재현성 평가와 플래토우 평가로부터 산출되었고, 이를 연간선량율로 나누어 OSL 연대를 결정하였다. 이후 산출된 OSL 연대의 정밀도를 높이기 위하여 발굴조사를 통해 파악된 화덕자리의 사용 시기와 각 화덕자리의 OSL 연대를 베이지안 통계에 적용한 결과, 개별 화덕자리의 사용 및 폐기 시점에 대한 높은 정밀도를 갖는 OSL 연대가 최종적으로 확정되었다.

In this paper, the EPICS2017 photoatomic database was used to evaluate the photon mass attenuation coefficients and buildup factors of soils collected at different depths in the Philippine islands. The extraction and interpolation of the library was accomplished at the recommended linear-linear scales to obtain the incoherent and total cross section and mass attenuation coefficient. The buildup factors were evaluated using the G-P fitting method in ANSI/ANS-6.4.3. An agreement was achieved between XCOM, MCNP5, and EPICS2017 for the calculated mass attenuation coefficient values. The buildup factors were reported at several penetration depths within the standard energy grid. The highest values of both buildup factor classifications were found in the energy range between 100 and 400 keV where incoherent scattering interaction probabilities are predominant, and least at the region of predominant photoionization events. The buildup factors were examined as a function of different soil silica contents. The soil samples with larger silica concentrations were found to have higher buildup factor values and hence lower shielding characteristics, while conversely, those with the least silica contents have increased shielding characteristics brought by the increased proportions of the abundant heavier oxides.
