Karmen reported a hydrogen flame ionization detector sensitive only to compounds containing phosphorus, bromine, chlorine, and iodine. He noted that halogens or phosphorus increased the electrical conductivity of the flame in the presence of a wire, ceramic, or glass probe containing a sodium compound. 1, record 1, English, - probe

A number of devices are available to assay Contact Handled-Transuranic(CH-TRU) for fissile material. One assay technique employs a pulsed fast-neutron source of 108 neutron/second to provide interrogation neutrons that upon thermalization produce fissions in any fissile material. The fission neutrons, counted using3sup>He detector packs, are separated from the interrogation neutrons by their longer die-away time. 1, record 2, English, - interrogation%20neutron

La quantification non destructive de la masse de noyaux lourds au moyen de la mesure neutronique active repose sur la stimulation de la réaction de fission et la mesure des neutrons qui en découlent. Cela suppose une source de particules interrogatrices (source isotopique, générateur de neutrons, accélérateur d’électrons...), une enceinte de thermalisation destinée à ralentir et à maintenir les neutrons interrogateurs à des énergies où les sections efficaces de fission associées aux isotopes recherchés sont optimales et, enfin, un dispositif de détection pour la mesure des neutrons. Le signal neutronique de fission est directement lié à la masse de matière qui a fissionné. Sa connaissance permet, étalonnage à l’appui, de quantifier cette masse. 1, record 2, French, - neutron%20interrogateur

Mesure des neutrons prompts (méthode DDT). […] Après quelques périodes de ralentissement (la période de ralentissement dépend de la géométrie de la cellule, des matériaux la composant et enfin de la matrice du colis à contrôler), environ 700 [microsecondes] après la fin de l’impulsion neutronique, la majorité du flux interrogateur est à l’état thermique (0,025 [électronvolts]). À cet instant, peut débuter l’acquisition du signal prompt des fissions induites par ce flux thermalisé. 1, record 3, French, - flux%20interrogateur

Kaye adapted a Beckman far-ultraviolet DK-2 spectrophotometer as a gas chromatographic effluent detector to record the spectra of eluted, absorbing materials. Using heated flow-through cells... coupled directly to the thermal conductivity cell' s outlet, he found that absorptivities of most organic vapors were sufficiently large to permit quantitative analysis, and in some instances identification, where specific absorption patterns could be attributed directly to a functional group in certain molecular species. Furthermore, the sensitivity of the far-ultraviolet detector for many compounds possessing intense absorption bands exceeds that of the normal thermal conductivity detector and, in some cases, the hydrogen flame ionization detector. 1, record 6, English, - ultraviolet%20spectrophotometer%20detector

Recently, Behrendt noted that the high resolution afforded by open tubular columns is often of no help in analysis since the samples handled are too small to permit further examination of separated components. To circumvent this disadvantage, he developed an infrared microspectrometer using a molecular beam detector to monitor chromatographic open-tube effluents. 1, record 7, English, - molecular%20beam%20detector
