Design and Properties of a Neon Filled Spark Chamber in a Magnetic Field
Introduction: Recently a new type of charged particle detector, the so-called spark chamber, has been developed. The detector has certain advantages in high energy physics over bubble chambers aside from its much lower cost.
Method for the Routine Absolute Intensity and Energy Measurements of Beta Radiation; Application to Naturally Radioactive Potassium, Rubidium, Rhenium and Lutetium
Photocopy of a dissertation discussing natural radioactivities and half life of potassium, Rubidium, Rhenium, and Lutetium.
Proton Beam Current Measurement in the Low K.E.V. Range
Secondary charge effects from a 10 kilovolt proton beam and their effect upon beam current measurement are investigated. A collector is designed for beam current metering of a 60 kilovolt proton beam by means of charge measurement and energy measurement.
Sanitary Engineering Aspects of Long-Range Fallout from Nuclear Detonations
From abstract: Results of a study of the sanitary engineering aspects of fallout from nuclear weapons are reported. Data were obtained from: a. Weekly surface water samples from 22 stations on streams and reservoirs in Eastern Massachusetts, collected from March, 1952 to July, 1953, and assayed for radioactivity. b. Weekly rain samples from March to July, 1953. c. Stream mud and soil samples collected before and after a large fallout. d. Results of fallout activity measurements by others based on samples from Massachusetts and the vicinity of Rochester, New York. Plots are presented showing the relations of the radiological data to the timing of detonations and the daily precipitation and showing daily deposition of activity and concentration in runoff. Runoff coefficients for fallout radioactivity are calculated.
