Zur Asymmetrie der Reaktion139La(n,α)136Cs mit polarisierten Neutronen

Experimental and theoretical investigations have been performed to determine the thermal conductivity of hydrogen in the temperature range between 2000 and 7000 °K. For this purpose the radial temperature distributions for various currents and theE-I-characteristic of a low current wall-stabilized hydrogen arc have been measured. In the dark region of the arc outside the bright core the temperature and the thermal conductivity between 2000 and 4500 °K were found by means of the schlieren technique. The electron temperature in the core of the arc results from spectroscopic measurements. The gas temperature has been calculated with a formula, derived from the kinetic theory of gases. Assuming a constant collision integralQ _eH ¹¹ the radial distribution of electric conductivity has been calculated according to Langevin's formula. The valueQ _eH ¹¹ =30·10^?16 cm₂ results by comparing the integrated conductance with the measured one. Since now the radial distribution of power input and the temperatures are known, the thermal conductivity between 4500 and 7000 °K can be determined as well. The total course of the heat conductivity shows a strong peak at the temperature of 3740 °K characteristic for the dissociation process.
