  2. Krypton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krypton

    In experimental particle physics, liquid krypton is used to construct quasi-homogeneous electromagnetic calorimeters. A notable example is the calorimeter of the NA48 experiment at CERN containing about 27 tonnes of liquid krypton. This usage is rare, since liquid argon is less expensive.

  3. NA62 experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NA62_experiment

    The T10 target (located 15m from the beginning of TCC8) is used to produce the final secondary hadron beam (K12). This K12 beam-line has a length of 102m, ending at the exit of the final collimator which marks the beginning of the decay fiducial region and points to the NA62 detectors (notably the liquid krypton electro-magnetic calorimeter, LKr).

  4. NA48 experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NA48_experiment

    Part of the NA48 setup: a liquid krypton electromagnetic calorimeter. The NA48 experiment was a series of particle physics experiments in the field of kaon physics being carried out at the North Area of the Super Proton Synchrotron at CERN. The collaboration involved over 100 physicists mostly from Western Europe and Russia.

  5. Fission products (by element) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fission_products_(by_element)

    Krypton-85, with a half-life 10.76 years, is formed by the fission process with a fission yield of about 0.3%. Only 20% of the fission products of mass 85 become 85 Kr itself; the rest passes through a short-lived nuclear isomer and then to stable 85 Rb. If irradiated reactor fuel is reprocessed, this radioactive krypton may be released into ...

  6. Noble gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_gas

    For instance, argon, krypton, and xenon form clathrates with hydroquinone, but helium and neon do not because they are too small or insufficiently polarizable to be retained. [61] Neon, argon, krypton, and xenon also form clathrate hydrates, where the noble gas is trapped in ice. [62] An endohedral fullerene compound containing a noble gas atom

  7. Cryogenic gas plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryogenic_gas_plant

    A cryogenic gas plant is an industrial facility that creates molecular oxygen, molecular nitrogen, argon, krypton, helium, and xenon at relatively high purity. [1] As air is made up of nitrogen, the most common gas in the atmosphere, at 78%, with oxygen at 19%, and argon at 1%, with trace gasses making up the rest, cryogenic gas plants separate air inside a distillation column at cryogenic ...

  8. Nuclear fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fuel

    The liquid fuel for the molten salt reactor was a mixture of lithium, beryllium, thorium and uranium fluorides: LiF-BeF 2-ThF 4-UF 4 (72-16-12-0.4 mol%). It had a peak operating temperature of 705 °C in the experiment, but could have operated at much higher temperatures since the boiling point of the molten salt was in excess of 1400 °C.
