A New Technique for Age Assessment of Ancient Bones by Using Cr-39 Track Detector
A new highly sensitive technique is proposed to estimate the age of ancient bones by the specific activity of 226Ra, which is determined by the registration of 222Rn α–particles using a CR-39 track detector in an isolated chamber.

228Ra/226Ra activity ratio in groundwater around Mount Fuji, Japan
We estimated the groundwater age from 228Ra/226Ra ratios in young groundwater and relevant rocks in the volcanic area of the Kakitagawa River around Mount Fuji, Japan, and compared our results with those from 3H/3He age determination.

Abstract Viscosity of silicate melts governs magma transport and influences mantle dynamics, yet effects of pressure and water on melt viscosity remain poorly understood. Here, we report in situ falling‐sphere viscosity measurements on diopside (Di) melts with 0–3 wt.% H2O along the liquidus up to 7 GPa and 2103 K using synchrotron X‐ray radiography ...

Possibilities to search for double beta decay of alpha/beta unstable nuclei, many of which have higher energy release than "conventional" (beta stable) double beta decay candidates, are discussed.

Dark Matter Spin-Dependent Limits for WIMP Interactions on 19-F by PICASSO [PDF]
The PICASSO experiment at SNOLAB reports new results for spin-dependent WIMP interactions on $^{19}$F using the superheated droplet technique. A new generation of detectors and new features which enable background discrimination via the rejection of non ...

Abstract A significant quantity of soil organic carbon (SOC) is buried in mangrove ecosystems. However, recent research has revealed that substantial amounts of carbon are exported to the atmosphere as CO2 or to the ocean as dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and particulate organic carbon (POC).

A total of 30 surface water samples were collected at 2 sites on the east side of the East China Sea (ECS) during 2008–20f0, and 226Ra, 228Ra, and 228Th activities were measured using low-background γ-spectrometry.

ABSTRACT We combine previous studies, fieldwork, lidar data, and trenching to examine late Quaternary activity of the SE‐dipping ≥23 km long Settlement Fault in the southeastern South Island. Trenching of a scarp crossing a small alluvial fan exposed a > 3 m thick sequence of folded sandy to silty fan alluvium.

ABSTRACT Despite high convergence velocity, the southern Ryukyu subduction has relatively low and sparse instrumental seismicity, in contrast with the Yaeyama Islands, hit by huge tsunamis over the last few thousand years. This study explores the potential of deep marine sediments to record past large earthquakes and tsunamis.
