Darleane C. Hoffman, transuranium element pioneer, dies at age 98
Nuclear chemist Darleane D. Hoffman, who was renowned for her research on transuranium elements that advanced the understanding of nuclear fission, died on September 4 at her home in Menlo Park, Calif. She was 98.
Iowa origins: Hoffman was born on November 8, 1926, in Terril, Ia. She attended Iowa State University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in chemistry in 1948 and a doctorate in physical (or nuclear) chemistry in 1951. She then began working as a chemist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

The RF-field structures are measured by the magnetic probe arrays in the edge region of the central cell of the Hanbit magnetic mirror device. The probe data was obtained during RF discharges produced by a slot antenna with frequency of 3.75 MHz and heating power of up to 150kW. For further reliable measurements, the calibration of the probe was carried out with a network analyzer for the RF frequency range of 1 – 10 MHz. The experimental results from the measurements are presented.
