Sentences with phrase «ionization effects»

The experiment monitors germanium detectors, cooled to a fraction of a degree above absolute zero, for subtle vibration and ionization effects that would be produced by WIMPs colliding with germanium nuclei.

This ionization effect is strengthened by the radiation from the fission products....

Not exact matches

It would have to be a process that magnified the tiny effect of the atomic particle itself, as the condensation of droplets in supersaturated vapor magnifies the ionization produced by a particle in a cloud chamber.

«Ionization mechanisms of captive atoms struck by light matter: Physicists elucidate the effects of light rays falling onto hydrogen atoms trapped in a carbon atom cage.»

During solar flares, variation in the solar flux in the spectral range extending from the UV to the X-ray wavelengths can have a direct effect on the ionization of the atmospheres of planetary bodies as well as on their heating and dimensions (for details see Schunk & Nagy 2009).

The research team then focused a beam of vacuum ultraviolet light from the synchrotron on the heated gas mixture that knocked away electrons (an effect known as ionization).

I mean since there is no clear trend (upward or downward) in cosmic ray flux over the period we've been able to measure them directly; and since we do not see a significant difference in climate over the 11 year solar cycle between Solar Max and Solar Min (and this modulation is much larger than the one Svensmark is talking about); and since it is not clear how important the ionization from GCR is in cloud formation; and since the anthropogenic ghg mechanism does just fine reproducing the data, exactly how do you foresee implementing this «effect»?

This in itself is likely a wrong assumption, because it ignores ionization rates and the effects on the atmosphere.

Wouldn't that spell for a non-optimist more massive updrafts, change the ionization progression of O2 and other upper atmosphere components, distort the terrestrial solar tide and create shearing effects that contribute to turbulence and Bernoulli effects?

He thought that this connection might occur via the effect of cosmic ray induced ionization on aerosol and cloud condensation nuclei and thus on the radiative properties of clouds.

They found that changes in atmospheric ionization during the 11 - year solar cycle, and the resulting variations in aerosol formation, produced a globally asymmetric radiative forcing with a net cloud albedo effect of − 0.05 W m − 2.

As GCR is the primary source of atmospheric ionization, it has been suggested that GCR may act to amplify relative small variations in solar activity into climatologically significant effects (Ney, 1959), via a hypothesised relationship between ionization and cloudiness (e.g., Dickinson, 1975; Kirkby, 2007).
