Escape peak form, as in gas-flow detectors, when an incoming X-ray produces a characteristic X-ray from the detector material. These X-rays are produced near the surface of the detector crystal and if they are reabsorbed there is no problem. If, however, the X-ray "escapes" the detector, an escape peak is produced. The escape peaks in a Si(Li) detector are 1.74 keV lower in energy that the incident X-rays (Ec for Si-Ka). Escape peaks will be present for all parent peaks above 1.84 keV (the Si absorption edge), and their magnitudes are usually a few percent of the parent peak. 1, record 1, English, - escape%20peak

Le porte-échantillon est connecté à un moteur pas-à-pas commandé par un ordinateur. Il permet ainsi d’analyser plusieurs échantillons sans pour cela casser le vide maintenu dans la chambre. Les rayonnements X ont été mesurés à l'aide d’un dispositif comprenant : un détecteur LEGe(low energy germanium) ;un préamplificateur de charges à faible bruit de fond; un amplificateur qui assure une nouvelle amplification et une mise en forme des impulsions. Le pic de la raie X K caractéristique du phosphore correspond aussi au pic d’échappement du silicium de la raie X K du calcium. Le remplacement du détecteur Si(Li) par un détecteur LEGe permet de réduire cette interférence. 1, record 1, French, - pic%20d%26rsquo%3B%C3%A9chappement

The Sorraia is a rare breed of horse indigenous to a region on the Iberian peninsula known today as Portugal. The Sorraia is known for its primitive features, including a convex profile and dun coloring with primitive markings. 3, record 2, English, - Sorraya%20horse
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT
The Sorraia breed stands between 14.1 and 14.3 hands high (57 to 59 inches (145 to 150 cm)), although some individuals are as small as 12.3 hands high (51 inches (130 cm)). The head tends to be large, the profile convex, and the ears long. The neck is slender and long, the withers high, and the croup slightly sloping. The legs are strong, with long pasterns and well-proportioned hooves. These horses have good endurance and are easy keepers, thriving on relatively little fodder. They have a reputation for being independent of temperament, but tractable. 3, record 2, English, - Sorraya%20horse

La robe très particulière su Sorraia, de couleur généralement grise, est une robe noire diluée par le gène sauvage «Dun» ou «red dun», avec une raie de mulet et des zébrures sur les membres. Cette robe est caractéristique des races primitives. Sa conformation n’ est pas des meilleures. L'animal est cependant très robuste, il survit avec très peu de fourrage et résiste à des températures extrêmes. Les épaules sont droites, l'arrière-main faible et les membres assez longs avec une ossature pauvre, mais les pieds sont durs et sains. Il mesure entre 1, 44 et 1, 48 m; sa robe est isabelle ou souris, avec une raie de mulet et des zébrures sur les membres, et même parfois sur le corps; il a une grosse tête archaïque, profil busqué; les épaules droites; l'arrière-main pauvre et queue attachée bas et de longs membres grêles. 3, record 2, French, - sorra%C3%AFa

Self-reversal is manifested as a decrease in intensity at the wavelength centre of the line. In extreme cases, the intensity at the wavelength centre may become so weak that practically only the wings remain, giving the appearance of two fuzzy lines. 1, record 4, English, - self%2Dreversal

L'autoinversion se manifeste par une diminution de l'intensité à la longueur d’onde du centre de la raie. Dans des cas extrêmes, l'intensité à la longueur d’onde centrale peut devenir si faible que pratiquement seules les parties externes de la raie subsistent, donnant l'apparence de deux raies floues. 1, record 4, French, - autoinversion
