Technetium Behavior and Recovery in Soil

Description: Technetium-99 in soils is of great concern because of its long half-life and because it can not be detected readily. This work reviews the behavior of technetium in various types of soils. A method for extracting technetium from soil was developed with the use of technetium-95m and 99m to determine recoveries at each step. Technetium chemistry is very complicated and problem areas in the behavior and recovery have been highlighted. Technetium is widely used in nuclear medicine and a review of i… more

Transverse Resistive Wall Instability in the Two-Beam Accelerator

Description: The transverse resistive wall instability in the Two-Beam Accelerator (TBA) is investigated analytically and numerically. Without any damping mechanism, we find one to four e-folds in 100 m, depending on the design. It is found that Landau damping, due to energy spread within a beam slice, is not effective, due to rapid synchrotron oscillations in the FEL ponderomotive well. Damping due to an energy sweep along the beam is also considered and it is found that a small variation in energy along t… more

Influence of Subslab Aggregate Permeability of SSV Performance

Description: The effectiveness of the technique of subslab ventilation (SSV) for limiting radon entry into basements was investigated through complementary experimentation and numerical modeling. Determination of the impact of subslab aggregate permeability on SSV performance was a primary objective. Subslab pressure fields resulting from SSV were measured in six well-characterized basements, each with a different combination of soil and aggregate permeability. The relationship between air velocity and pres… more

Characteristics of a High Energy {mu sup +}{mu sup -} Collider Based on Electro-Production of Muons

Description: We analyze the design of an high energy {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -} collider based on electro-production of muons. We derive an expression for the luminosity in terms of analytic formulae for the electron-to-muon conversion efficiency and the electron beam power on the production target On the basis of studies of self-consistent sets of collider parameters under 'realistic' ('optimistic') assumptions about available technology with beam cooling, we find the luminosity limited to 10{sup 27} m{sup -2}… more

Final predictions of ambient conditions along the east-west crossdrift using the 3-D UZ site-scale model. Level 4 milestoneSP33ABM4.

Description: In 1998, the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project (YMP) is expected to continue construction of an East-West Cross Drift. The 5-meter diameter drift will extend from the North Ramp of the Exploratory Studies Facility (ESF), near Station 19+92, southwest through the repository block, and over to and through the Solitario Canyon Fault. This drift is part of a program designed to enhance characterization of Yucca Mountain and to complement existing surface-based and ESF testing studies. Th… more

Design Considerations for Simultaneous FEL and Nuclear Physics Operation at CEBAF

Description: As conceived in a recent design study, electron beams of quite distinct character would be provided for nuclear physics experiments and FEL wigglers at CEBAF. When full nuclear physics operation begins, coordination between these two programs becomes critical. FEL operation requires electron bunches carrying charge of 120 pC at repetition rates of 2.5 and 7.5 MHz, whereas the nuclear physics users need a relatively small charge per bunch, ~ 0.13 pC, but at a repetition rate of 1.5 GHz. To allow… more

Lattice calculation of I=2 pion scattering length

Description: We present results for the I=2 pion scattering length calculated using staggered fermions in the quenched approximation. The calculation uses the finite volume dependence of the energy of a two pion state. We find good agreement with current algebra predictions for scattering of Goldstone pions, and reasonable agreement for the non-Goldstine pions.

Confining Potential in Momentum Space

Description: A method is presented for solution in momentum space of the bound state problem with linear potential in r-space. The potential is unbounded at large r leading to a singularity at small q. The singularity is integrable, when regulated by exponentially screening the r-space potential, and is removed by a subtraction technique. The limit of zero screening is taken analytically, and numerical solution of the subtracted integral equation gives eigenvalues and wavefunctions in good agreement with po… more

Nuclear vs. Nucleon Structure Effects on Nuclear Transparency

Description: Nuclear structure effects account for the observed enhancement of the nuclear transparency to moderate energy protons, with respect to the predictions of Glauber theory. This enhancement appears to be comparable to the one associated with the onset of color transparency in the Q^2 range spanned by the available (e, e'p) data (Q^2<7(GeV/c)^2). It is argued that in this kinematical regime a stronger colour transparency signal can be observed in the low energy loss tail of the inclusive electron-n… more

Many-Body Correlation Effects on the Longitudinal Response in the Quasielastic (e, e') Reaction

Description: A study is made of the influence of many-body corrections on the longitudinal response function for the inclusive quasielastic (e, e') reaction. This response function is well known to be suppressed, by about a factor of two, when compared with theoretical predictions based on the concept of single nucleon ejection. This is a characteristic of the data that persists through a wide range of different nuclei and suggests a violation of the Coulomb sum rule. It is here shown how an estimation of t… more

Relativistic Nuclear Many-Body Theory

Description: Nonrelativistic models of nuclear systems have provided important insight into nuclear physics.In future experiments, nuclear systems will be examined under extreme conditions of dmensity and temperature, and their response will be probed at momentum and energy transfers larger than the nucleon mass.It is therefore essential to develop reliable models that go beyond the traditional nonrelativistic many-body framework.General properties of physics; such as quantum mechanics, Lorentz covariance, … more

Relativistic one boson exchange model for the nucleon nucleon interaction

Description: Nucleon-nucleon data below 300-MeV laboratory energy are described by a manifestly covariant wave equation in which one of the intermediate nucleons is restricted to its mass shell. Antisymmetrization of the kernel yields an equation in which the two nucleons are treated in an {ital exactly} symmetric manner, and in which all amplitudes satisfy the Pauli principle {ital exactly}. The kernel is modeled by the sum of one boson exchanges, and four models, all of which fit the data very well ({chi}… more

The Pion Wave Function and QCD Sum Rules with Nonlocal Condensates

Description: The QCD sum rule calculation of the pion wave function by Chernyak and Zhitnitsky is implicitly assuming that the correlation length of vacuum fluctuations is large compared to the typical hadronic scale ~ 1/m(sub)p, so that one can substitute the orginal nonlocal objects like (q-bar(0)q(z)) by constant (q-bar(0)q(0))-type values.We outline a formalism enabling one to work directly with the nonlocal condensates, and construct a modified sum rule for the moments (Xi^N) of the pion wave function.… more

Emittance Growth in TESLA

Description: The results of collective simulation of a typical TeV Energy Superconducting Linear Accelerator (TESLA) are reported. Because of accelerating gradient is low and the accelerator is long compared to other TeV colliders, betatron phase mixing must be suppressed along with the usual sources of emittance growth. Including single bunch effects, alignment tolerances consistent with reasonable emittance growth are given. When such tolerances are achieved, multibunch effects do not cause excessive effe… more
