This is one of the primary classes of radiation, along with beta and gamma radiation, and of these the only hadronic form of radiation. An alpha particle is emitted during alpha decay of a nucleus, when the nucleus gives off 2 protons and 2 neutrons. The isotope loses 2 from its atomic number, decaying into an isotope of a new element. The spectrum measured from the radium sample exemplifies this, as the radium decays into daughter elements further down the periodic table. Alpha particles created in this process often have kinetic energy near 5 MeV and are highly ionizing, but with a small penetration depth. They are therefore not considered a dangerous form of radiation unless ingested. -\section{Alpha Detector} +\section{Alpha Detector and Energy Scale} \label{sec:reverbmap} -A totally depleted silicon barrier +A totally depleted silicon surface barrier (ORTEC model B) is used to count alpha particles emitted by samples used in this study. This detector absorbs alpha particles, transducing their kinetic energy into electronic activity. The potential difference output from the detector is proportional to the kinetic energy of the absorbed alpha particle, and these variable voltage signals were collected to generate each energy spectrum. \subsection{Continuum Reverberation} \label{sec:cont_reverb} \section{Analysis} \label{sec:analysis} -The energy scale is calibrated by setting the mean +The energy scale is calibrated by setting the mean of the peak of unimpeded alpha particles emitted by the Americium source to the experimentally-determined value $\frac{\Delta E}{\Delta X}$ @@ -88,16 +88,31 @@ The energy scale is calibrated by setting the mean \section{Discussion} -\begin{thebibliography}{9} +%\begin{thebibliography}{9} +% +%\bibitem{lamport94} +% Leslie Lamport, +% \emph{\LaTeX: a document preparation system}, +% Addison Wesley, Massachusetts, +% 2nd edition, +% 1994. +% +%\end{thebibliography} -\bibitem{lamport94} - Leslie Lamport, - \emph{\LaTeX: a document preparation system}, - Addison Wesley, Massachusetts, - 2nd edition, - 1994. +\documentclass{article} + +\usepackage{biblatex} +\bibliography{/home/caes/wmu/phy-4660/adv_lab.bib} + +\title{BibTeX Website citatations with the \textsf{biblatex}~package} +\date{} + +\begin{document} + +\maketitle +\nocite{Doe:2009:Online} +\printbibliography -\end{thebibliography} %\bsp @@ -111,7 +126,6 @@ The energy scale is calibrated by setting the mean %\newcommand{\ssr}{SSRv} % %\bibliographystyle{mnras} -%\bibliography{report}{}
