(Im-)possible ISOL beams

Refractory elements, i.e. elements with very high melting point and low vapor pressure, cannot be released in atomic form from an ISOL target. Therefore most of these elements are presently not available as ISOL beams. However, when reactive gases are introduced into the target, they may form volatile compounds with the refractory elements, allowing for an easier transport to the ion source. Particularly useful are high-temperature stable fluorides and oxides. By these chemical evaporation methods so far ISOL beams of the refractory elements C, Zr, Hf and Ta have been produced. We discuss how ISOL beams of B, Ti, Nb, Mo, Tc, Ru, W, Re, Os and Ir could be produced in a similar way.

Transmutation of 129I, 237Np, 238Pu, 239Pu, and 241Am using neutrons produced in target-blanket system ‘Energy plus Transmutation’ by relativistic protons

Target-blanket facility ‘Energy + Transmutation’ was irradiated by proton beam extracted from the Nuclotron Accelerator in Laboratory of High Energies of Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia. Neutrons generated by the spallation reactions of 0.7, 1.0, 1.5 and 2 GeV protons and lead target interact with subcritical uranium blanket. In the neutron field outside the blanket, radioactive iodine, neptunium, plutonium and americium samples were irradiated and transmutation reaction yields (residual nuclei production yields) have been determined using γ-spectroscopy. Neutron field's energy distribution has also been studied using a set of threshold detectors. Results of transmutation studies of ¹²⁹I, ²³⁷Np, ²³⁸Pu, ²³⁹Pu and ²⁴¹Am are presented.      

On-line production of neutron rich isotopes from uranium carbide targets

Experiments done using on-line mass separation of neutron-rich nuclei produced by 1 GeV proton beam on natural U by spallation reactions are performed to study the characteristics of different UCx targets. Special attention is devoted to reliably extract isotopic yields in case of complex decay schemes and to the valuation of release efficiency of some isotopic chains. New gamma-branching measuremet for ⁹²Rb are obtained. In addition, a formalism is developed to disantangle the contribution of β-decay in the target from direct production by fission and to provide more consistent data for the interpretation of release curves. Some results are shown for the Cs and Rb isotopic chains.     

Frequency‐dependent NMR relaxation of liquids confined inside porous media containing an increased amount of magnetic impurities

Frequency‐dependent NMR relaxation studies have been carried out on water (polar) and cyclohexane (nonpolar) molecules confined inside porous ceramics containing variable amounts of iron oxide (III). The porous ceramics were prepared by compression of powders mixed with iron oxide followed by thermal treatment. The pore size distribution was estimated using a technique based on diffusion in internal fields that exposed a narrow distribution of macropore sizes with an average pore dimension independent of iron oxide content. The relaxation dispersion curves were obtained at room temperature using a fast field cycling NMR instrument. They display an increase of the relaxation rate proportional to the iron oxide concentration. This behavior is more prominent at low Larmor frequencies and is independent of the polar character of the confined molecules. The results reported here can be fitted well with a relaxation model considering exchange between molecules in the close vicinity of the paramagnetic centers located in the surface and bulk‐like molecules inside the pores. This model allows the extraction of the transverse diffusional correlation time that can be related to the polar character of the confined molecules. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Recent radioactive ion beam program at RIKEN and related topics

Recent experimental programs at RIKEN concerning RI beams are reviewed. RIKEN has the ring cyclotron (RRC) with high intense heavy-ion beams and large acceptance fragment separator, RIPS. The complex can provide high intense RI-beams. By using the high intense RI-beams, a variety of experiments have been done. Recently, nuclear structure for unstable nuclei has been paid much attention. In special, disappearance and appearance of magic numbers are discussed experimentally and theoretically. Thus, in this review, related experiments concerning disappearance and appearance of magic numbers are described. Finally, future project in RIKEN, RI-beam factory. is introduced briefly.     

Synthesis and characterization of Rosuvastatin calcium impurity A; a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor

During the process development for multistep synthesis of Rosuvastatin calcium several impurities were obtained along with the final Rosuvastatin calcium. Out of this; synthesis of impurity A (acetone adduct) a minor impurity of Rosuvastatin calcium (3R,5S,6E)-7-[4-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-[[(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl)sulfonyl(methyl)amino]-6-(1-methylethyl)-pyrimidin-5-yl]-3,5-dihydroxyheptenoicacid hemicalcium salt, is described. The synthesis of impurity A has been accomplished in 6 steps; starting from formation of β-hydroxy sulfonamide as the key intermediate and followed by using convenient routes with overall yield of 13.5%. The target compound can be used as the reference substance of impurity of the Rosuvastatin calcium.
