The reactions of diluted aqueous solutions of SO2 resp. HSO3-ions with MnO4-or Ce4+ ions in the pH range 1-4 produce chemiluminescence in the spectral region of 450-600 nm. Measurements of the time course of the light emission and their simulation on an analog computer led to a reaction scheme in which a recombination product of primarily formed HSO3 radicals -of a lifetime of about 1 second -appears as precursor of electronically excited SO2 molecules. The participation of singlet oxygen can be excluded because at least the reaction with Ce4+ ions proceeds also in the absence of oxygen.
Two equations for the macroscopic part W of the statistical operator are considered:
1. the master equation W = — MW, t
2. the exact equation W = — J K(t — r) W (r) dr.
It follows from the physical equivalence of the solutions together with a stability assumption and the assumption that there is a time τ* after which also the derivatives of the solutions are equivalent, that τ* is the life-time of the kernel K and that Conversely, the equivalence of the solutions follows from assumptions on the life-time of the kernel K together with a stability assumption and a smoothness assumption on the initial statistical operator W(0).
For experiments on fission-fragment induced desorption the detection of significant correlations between desorbed ions has been reported [1]. In this paper the method for the detection and quantitative description of these correlations will be described. The statistics of the desorption-process leads to equations for mass-line intensities of ion spectra. Using a time-to-amplitude-converter for flight-time measurements these intensities depend on interdependences of different ions desorbed by the same fission-fragment. The equations allow the computation of correlationcoefficients whose interdependence with desorption probabilities of the respective ions can be shown in Venn-diagrams. Results are given and an interpretation is suggested for fission-fragment desorbed thiamine molecular and fragment ions.
The temporal development of macroobservables is described within a correlation-functionformalism. The results are exact for a certain class of initial ensembles. The same problem is discussed with the help of the linear-response-formalism. The results agree under certain conditions which should be fulfilled for macroobservables.
The master operators B which cause the entropy production dH/dt = - k-1 dS/dt to become extremal for fixed statistical operators W are constructed and discussed. There are boundaries of the set B of master operators, B = {B | Σ B2vu = b} for which the problem is solvable yielding minimal entropy production, while no solution exists in the set B without any constraints. Operators with maximal entropy production must be extremal points of B.
We show that information about quasimolecular electronic binding energies in transient atomic systems of Z=Z1+Z2 up to 184 can be obtained from three sources: (1) the impact-parameter dependence of the ionization probability; (2) the ionization probability in head-on collisions as a function of total nuclear charge Z; (3) the delta-electron spectrum in coincidence with K-vacancy formation in asymmetric collisions. Experiments are proposed and discussed.
On the basis of the two-center shell model a theory is developed for the excitation of loosely bound nucleons in heavy ion collisions. These nucleons move in the two-center shell model potential generated by all the nucleons and are described by molecular wave functions. The model is applied to calculate the cross sections for the elastic and inelastic 13C-13C scattering. The cross sections show intermediate structures caused by the excitation of quasibound resonances in the molecular nucleus-nucleus potential.

Inner-shell ionization induced by nuclear Coulomb excitation in collisions of very heavy ions
(1978)
K- and L-shell ionization of 238U with Xe and U projectiles is investigated. Internal conversion following nuclear Coulomb excitation which is particularly important for deformed heavy nuclei is compared with direct ionization of inner-shell electrons in superheavy quasimolecules. Both processes exhibit different impact-parameter dependences. As a result of internal conversion, about 0.1-0.3 K holes per central collision are created.
