The hydrogen gas is igniting (as in combustion) or arcing? If the former, it would seem one has an air (oxygen) leak, or free F through decomposition of teflon. H + F = HF is a fairly energetic reaction. Is the Penning source a negative H- ion supply?

I can't say I have a favorite song or player, but I probably have favorite tunes of many jazz artists. One I just discovered. George Duke Trio "It's On" Live at Java Jazz Festival 2010

La Danse Magique | Claudio Constantini I just heard this today.

I should indicate that it was a music lesson in 4th grade class. As I recall, the lesson was part of a music appreciation in which we listened to 20 pieces of classical music over several weeks, and about mid-year there was a test in which we had to identify each piece. I scored 100%. I...

I had the same thoughts. Without other cubes of different metals, e.g., Mo, Fe, Cu, Al, there a limited uses for a single cube. One could measure mass, volume (geometrically with a caliper and immersively with a fluid in a graduate beaker. The mass of a 1 cm x 1 cm x 1 cm ( = 1 cm3) cube...

I started in physics with nuclear and astro specializations then migrated into nuclear engineering. Many of my fellow physics students left physics and went into other areas like electrical engineering, computer/software engineering or applied physics fields. Some went on to graduate school in...

"Very high energy photons" is an interesting topic. The OP poses an interesting, although awkward, question with respect to PeV or GeV photons. In between there are TeV electrons. I would emphasize from 1 GeV to 1 PeV is 6 orders of magnitude: 109 to 1015. In terrestrial accelerators, we are...

I had to look up the company owning and operating the manufaturing facility. It is a private family owned company, Cafua Management Company. "The 93,500-square-foot factory (in Haverhill, Massachusetts), built just this year, is the largest bakery for Dunkin’ in the U.S. and serves more than...

Achieving 30 GWd/tU within 250 days is impressive. I must read the text files before asking further questions or making comments. It would be interesting to compare with other codes like CASMO, WIMS and OpenMC.
