14'' x 17'' film recorder for computer-enhanced scans

Description: Physician acceptance of computer-enhanced radionuclide scan results, presented in the form of small Polaroid pictures, has been very limited for a number of subjective reasons. A new recorder was designed and constructed that presents the results of computer augmented scans through a medium that is quite familiar to doctors, the standard 14 in. x 17 in. x-ray film. (auth)

100,000 quads of natural gas

Description: Of the various possible unconventional natural gas resources that have been examined, the most recent, and by far the largest, is that which is dissolved in the hot salt water within the geopressurized zones of the Gulf Coast. Recent assessments have estimated that the amount of gas contained in these waters, underlying about 150,000 sq. mi. of Texas and Louisiana--both onshore and offshore--is between 60,000 and 100,000 quads. In addition to the natural gas, there is a huge potential for produ… more

120-keV beam direct conversion system for TFTR injectors

Description: Several practical motivations exist for the development of beam direct conversion systems that are compatible with the injection systems of large experiments such as the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR). We present a preliminary design in which we analyze the most acute problems involved in scaling up existing designs and apparatus to fulfill TFTR requirements. Some of the questions addressed are the requirements for electron suppression, gas pumping, compactness, and power densities. A new i… more

120-keV Neutral-Beam Injection System Development

Description: The neutral-beam injection systems for the next generation of U. S. fusion experiments (TFTR, MX, Doublet III) have requirements that considerably exceed the present state of development. TFTR, for example, desires 20 MW of 120-keV deuterium atoms in pulses of 0.5-sec duration. The neutral-beam systems needed to meet these demands will be large and complex and will require much development effort. In order to develop components for these new systems, a new, large test facility was constructed. … more

2D radiative transfer schemes

Description: In a study of three 2D radiative transfer methods, equilibrium diffusion, nonequilibrium diffusion, and S/sub n/, as applied to the interaction of the reflected shock with a fireball near the surface, the following results were obtained. The equilibrium diffusion method requires modifications to transfer energy through optically thin zones. The present S/sub n/ method, as included in YAQUI-SN, i.e., the TWOTRAN code, has troubles in the treatment of a thick/thin interface. Improvements are poss… more

2XIIB plasma confinement experiments

Description: This paper reports results of 2XIIB neutral-beam injection experiments with plasma-stream stabilization. The plasma stream is provided either by a pulsed plasma generator located on the field lines outside the plasma region or by ionization of neutral gas introduced at the mirror throat. In the latter case, the gas is ionized by the normal particle flux through the magnetic mirror. A method of plasma startup and sustenance in a steady-state magnetic field is reported in which the plasma stream … more

Ab initio effective potentials for atoms of the first three rows of the periodic table. [Tables, coreless Hartree--Fock effective potential]

Description: The coreless Hartree--Fock effective potential (CHFEP) method is used to replace the core orbitals for atoms of the first three rows of the periodic table. Self-consistent field (SCF) calculations indicate that these effective potentials give Hartree--Fock quality orbitals and orbital energies. Optimized small basis sets for use with these effective potentials are presented along with some tests of these basis sets. It is seen that the effective potential allows one to use such small basis sets… more

Ab initio potential surface calculations for the H + Hâ‚‚O and H + HF hydrogen atom exchange reactions

Description: The calculations reveal that the H + H/sub 2/O and H + HF exchange reactions are both characterized by a large energy barrier (on the order of 20 to 30 kcal/mole) and a transition state possessing significant Rydberg 3s character on the central atom. The presence of high energy barriers means that both exchange reactions will be extremely slow except at very high temperatures.

Absolute differential cross sections over the entire angular range for the reaction /sup 3/H(d,n)/sup 4/He at 7. 0 and 10. 0 MeV

Description: Differential cross sections for the reaction /sup 3/H(d,n)/sup 4/He have been measured at 7.00 and 10.00 MeV using the time-of-flight technique. By measuring both /sup 3/H(d,n)/sup 4/He and /sup 2/H(t,n)/sup 4/He at the same center of mass, energy-complete distributions between 0/sup 0/ and 180/sup 0/ have been obtained. The absolute scales have been established within +- 1.5 percent by using the accurate /sup 2/H(t,/sup 4/He)n cross sections at 20.0 MeV as a standard.

Absolute two plasmon parametric decay of obliquely incident electromagnetic waves in an inhomogeneous plasma

Description: The parametric decay of an electromagnetic wave into two electron plasma waves is considered. The electromagnetic wave is obliquely incident on the density gradient. The resulting analysis shows that the threshold for absolute instability decreases as the angle of incidence of the electromagnetic wave relative to the density gradient approaches 90/sup 0/. The importance of this result to laser fusion is discussed.
