  2. Gamow factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamow_factor

    Gamow [3] first solved the one-dimensional case of quantum tunneling using the WKB approximation.Considering a wave function of a particle of mass m, we take area 1 to be where a wave is emitted, area 2 the potential barrier which has height V and width l (at < <), and area 3 its other side, where the wave is arriving, partly transmitted and partly reflected.

  3. Pycnonuclear fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pycnonuclear_fusion

    Pycnonuclear fusion (Ancient Greek: πυκνός, romanized: pyknós, lit. 'dense, compact, thick') is a type of nuclear fusion reaction which occurs due to zero-point oscillations of nuclei around their equilibrium point bound in their crystal lattice.

  4. George Gamow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Gamow

    [18] [19] [20] This work, in turn, evolved from his fundamental discovery of quantum tunneling as the mechanism of nuclear alpha decay, and his application of this theory to the inverse process to calculate rates of thermonuclear reaction. At first, Gamow believed that all the elements might be produced in the very high temperature and density ...

    The reaction rate density between species A and B, having number densities n A,B, is given by: = where k is the reaction rate constant of each single elementary binary reaction composing the nuclear fusion process: = here, σ(v) is the cross-section at relative velocity v, and averaging is performed over all velocities.

  6. Wastewater quality indicators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastewater_quality_indicators

    Tests will determine the quality of this wastewater. Wastewater quality indicators are laboratory test methodologies to assess suitability of wastewater for disposal, treatment or reuse. The main parameters in sewage that are measured to assess the sewage strength or quality as well as treatment options include: solids, indicators of organic ...

  7. Analysis of water chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_of_water_chemistry

    Water chemistry analysis is often the groundwork of studies of water quality, pollution, hydrology and geothermal waters. Analytical methods routinely used can detect and measure all the natural elements and their inorganic compounds and a very wide range of organic chemical species using methods such as gas chromatography and mass spectrometry .

  8. Soak testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soak_testing

    Soak testing involves testing a system with a typical production load, over a continuous availability period, to validate system behavior under production use. [ 1 ] It may be required to extrapolate the results, if not possible to conduct such an extended test.

  9. Beta decay transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_decay_transition

    The Gamow–Teller transition is a pseudovector transition, that is, the selection rules for beta decay caused by such a transition involve no parity change of the nuclear state. [2] The spin of the parent nucleus can either remain unchanged or change by ±1.
