Binary rototranslational hyper-Rayleigh spectra of H(2)-He gas mixture.

The collision-induced rototranslational hyper-Rayleigh spectra of gaseous H(2)-He mixture are computed and discussed in the binary regime. As the input data we use our ab initio computed H(2)-He collision-induced first dipole hyperpolarizability tensor Deltabeta(R). Both the vector and the septor part of the H(2)-He hyper-Rayleigh spectra are evaluated at room temperature (T=295 K). The spectra are calculated assuming the full quantum computations based on the Schrödinger equation of the relative translational motion in the isotropic H(2)-He potential as well as using semiclassical methods.

[The control of radiation protection in the field of radiotherapy by the French Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN)]. / Les actions de contrôle de l'Autorité de sûreté nucléaire (ASN) dans le domaine de la radiothérapie.

During the last months, several incidents at radiotherapy services occurred in France; one of these accidents led to the death of several patients or required further heavy surgical acts. In this context, ASN (Autorité de sûreté nucléaire) issued an experimental guide for the notification of radiation protection events and achieved, in dialogue with professional organisations, a new scale intended to facilitate public information on radiotherapy incidents. ASN is also fully involved in the preparation of the action plan managed by the Health ministry in order to improve the safety of treatment in radiotherapy.
