NUCLEAR DEALIGNMENT IN GASES

NUCLEAR DEALIGNMENT IN GASES 1 corresp first-author China Institute of Atomic Energy, Beijing 102413 China Institute of Atomic Energy, Beijing 102413 1 1 1 1 State University of New York, Stony Brook, New York 11794, USA State University of New York, Stony Brook, New York 11794, USA The nuclear dealignment is studied during the slowing down process and after thermolization in different gases by the time differential perturbed angular distribution method. A large fraction of the initial nuclear alignment following the nuclear reaction can be preserved in gases with large moments of inertia, but only a small fraction in monoatomic gases such as the noble gases. The plunger experiment shows that the nuclear dealignment occurs during the slowing down process and not after thermolization.
