Half-life of 31Si

Giancarlo D'Agostino, Marco Di Luzio, Giovanni Mana +1

Half-life values are widely used in nuclear chemistry to model the exponential decay of the quantified radionuclides. The analysis of existing data reveals a general lack of inform…

30Si Mole Fraction of a Silicon Material Highly Enriched in 28Si Determined by Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis

Giancarlo D'Agostino, Marco Di Luzio, Giovanni Mana +3

The latest determination of the Avogadro constant, carried out by counting the atoms in a pure silicon crystal highly enriched in 28Si, reached the target 2x10-8 relative uncertain…

Elemental characterization of the Avogadro silicon crystal WASO 04 by neutron activation analysis

Giancarlo D'Agostino, Luigi Bergamaschi, Laura Giordani +3

Analytical measurements of the 28Si crystal used for the determination of the Avogadro constant are essential to prevent biased results or under-estimated uncertainties. A review o…

The detection of signals buried in noise

Luigi Bergamaschi, Giancarlo D'Agostino, Laura Giordani +2

This paper examines signal detection in the presence of noise, with a particular emphasis to the nuclear activation analysis. The problem is to decide what between the signal-plus-…
