Modeling a tsunami from the Nicoya, Costa Rica, seismic gap and its potential impact in Puntarenas
(Journal of South American Earth Sciences .Vol.31 No.4 372-382, 2011)
Although subduction zones around the world are known to be the source of earthquakes and/or tsunamis, not all segments of these plate boundaries generate destructive earthquakes and catastrophic tsunamis. Costa Rica, in ...
Factores que influyen en la forma de la cola de un tsunami
(UNICIENCIA Vol. 23 65-69, 2009)
The propagation speed of a tsunami depends on the depth of the ocean in which it propagates. As the tsunami crosses the abyssal plain, it suffers modifications in its form due to change in the depths of the ocean bottom. ...
Sizeable beta-strength in 31Ar (β3p) decay
(Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics, 2014-10-07)
We present for the first time precise spectroscopic information on the recently discovered decay mode β-delayed 3p-emission. The detection of the 3p events gives an increased sensitivity to the high energy part of the ...
Multiparticle emission in the decay of Ar 31
(American Physical Society, 2014-06-25)
A multihit capacity setup was used to study the decay of the dripline nucleus 31Ar, produced at the ISOLDE facility at CERN. A spectroscopic analysis of the β-delayed three-proton decay of 31Ar is presented for the first ...
The rip current hazard in Costa Rica
(2015-01-31)
Deaths from rip currents are a major hazard on global beaches, but few data are available at a national scale to support the development of appropriate intervention programs. Analysis of data from the Judicial Investigation ...
Experimental validation of gallium production and isotope-dependent positron range correction in PET
(Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment vol.814 110-116 2016, 2016-04-01)
Positron range (PR) is one of the important factors that limit the spatial resolution of positron emission tomography (PET) preclinical images. Its blurring effect can be corrected to a large extent if the appropriate ...
Characterization of the VARIAN®PaxScan 2020+ flat panel detector for quantitative X-ray imaging
(X-Ray Spectrometry vol.45 no.3 169-175 2016, 2016-02-19)
In this work, the response of the VARIAN® PaxScan 2020+ flat panel detector was characterized in terms of spatial resolution and uniformity across the detection area along with detection efficiency for photon beams from ...
A Collaborative Effort Between Caribbean States for Tsunami Numerical Modeling: Case Study CaribeWave15
(Pure and Applied Geophysics vol.175 no.2 1405-1428 2017, 2017)
Historical records have shown that tsunami have affected the Caribbean region in the past. However infrequent, recent studies have demonstrated that they pose a latent hazard for countries within this basin. The Hazard ...
Numerical Simulations of the 1991 Limón Tsunami, Costa Rica Caribbean Coast
(Pure and Applied Geophysics vol.174 2945-2959 2017, 2017)
The second largest recorded tsunami along the Caribbean margin of Central America occurred 25 years ago. On April 22nd, 1991, an earthquake with magnitude Mw 7.6 ruptured along the thrust faults that form the North Panama ...
Tsunamis Recorded in Tide Gauges at Costa Rica Pacific Coast and their Numerical Modeling
(2017)
Resumen Aquí realizamos un inventario de tsunamis registrado por mareógrafos en la costa del Pacífico de Costa Rica. Este documento también revela nueve registros de tsunamis que no se habían publicado antes, en el indicador ...
