A Gauge-Invariant Energy Variational Principle Application to Anisotropic Excitons in High Magnetic Fields

Description: A new method is developed for treating atoms and molecules in a magnetic field in a gauge-invariant way using the Rayleigh-Ritz energy variational principle. The energy operator depends on the vector potential which must be chosen in some gauge. In order to adapt the trial wave function to the gauge of the vector potential, the trial wave function can be multiplied by a phase factor which depends on the spatial coordinates. When the energy expectation value is minimized with respect to the phas… more

Measurement of the Effect of an Axial Magnetic Field on the Reynolds Number of Transition in Mercury Flowing Through a Glass Tube

Description: Note presenting experiments conducted to determine the effect of a strong axial magnetic field on the flow of mercury through a circular channel. The magnetic induction was 15,000 gauss, and the channel was a pyrex tube 17-1/4 inches long and 0.027 inch inside diameter. The results indicated that the stabilizing effect occurred only at Reynolds number above 5,000, so that the region of practical applicability seems to be at fairly high Reynolds numbers and when there are only slight disturbance… more

On flow of electrically conducting fluids over a flat plate in the presence of a transverse magnetic field

Description: The use of a magnetic field to control the motion of electrically conducting fluids is studied. The incompressible boundary-layer solutions are found for flow over a flat plate when the magnetic field is fixed relative to the plate or to the fluid. The equations are integrated numerically for the effect of the transverse magnetic field on the velocity and temperature profiles, and hence, the skin friction and rate of heat transfer. It is concluded that the skin friction and the heat-transfer ra… more

Electrostatic equilibria of non-neutral plasmas confined in a Penning trap with axially varying magnetic field

Description: This article describes a procedure for computing the electrostatic equilibria of non-neutral plasmas in a Penning trap with a nonuniform magnetic field by solving Poisson's equation using an iterative method. Plasma equilibria in a model Penning trap with high and low field regions are computed. The plasma is assumed to follow the Boltzmann density distribution along magnetic field lines.

Space-charge-based electrostatic plasma confinement involving relaxed plasma species

Description: In this article, a numerical study is reported on the equilibrium properties of a surface-emitted or edge-confined non-drifting plasma. A self-consistent finite-differences evaluation of the electrostatic potential is carried out for a non-neutral plasma that follows a Boltzmann density distribution.

Artificially structured boundary plasma trap

Description: This article presents a computer simulation of single-species non-neutral plasma confinement using an artificially structured boundary. The results support the prospect of developing plasma space-charge based confinement, with an unmagnetized plasma of one species of charged particles confined by an electric field produced by an edge-confined plasma of a second species of charged particles.

Dual levitated coils for antihydrogen production

Description: Article on theoretical and experimental efforts to use dual levitated coils to confine relatively large, cold, dense non-drifting recombining antihydrogen plasmas. The theoretical effort includes the development of a classical trajectory Monte Carlo simulation of confinement. The experimental effort includes levitation of a NdFeB permanent ring magnet, which produces a magnetic field that is qualitatively similar to the field that would be produced by the two coaxial superconducting magnetic co… more

Antihydrogen Synthesis Via Magnetobound States of Protonium Within Proton-Positron-Antiproton Plasmas

Description: Article studies the possibility that antihydrogen can be synthesized via three body recombination involving magnetobound protonium through classical trajectory simulation. It has been previously reported that proton antiproton collisions can result in a correlated drift of the particles perpendicular to a magnetic field. While the two particles are in their correlated drift, they are referred to as a magnetobound protonium system. Possible three body recombination resulting in bound state anti… more

Closed-form expressions for the magnetic fields of rectangular and circular finite-length solenoids and current loops

Description: This article discusses closed-form expressions for the magnetic fields produced by rectangular- and circular-shaped finite-length solenoids and current loops. The closed-form expression for the magnetic field of a rectangular-shaped finite-length solenoid is derived using the Biot–Savart law. Closed-form expressions for the magnetic fields of solenoids and current loops can be used to avoid approximations in analytical models and may reduce computation time in computer simulations.

Examination of Magnetic Plasma Expulsion

Description: Magnetic plasma expulsion uses a magnetic field distortion to redirect incident charged particles around a certain area for the purposes of shielding. Computational studies are carried out and for certain values of magnetic field, magnetic plasma expulsion is found to effectively shield a sizable area. There are however many plasma behaviors and interactions that must be considered. Applications to a new cryogenic antimatter trap design are discussed.

Giant increase in cross-magnetic-field transport rate as an electron-positron plasma cools

Description: The article focuses on a study of an electron-positron plasma in thermal equilibrium within a uniform magnetic field using a classical trajectory Monte Carlo simulation. The cross-magnetic-field single-particle diffusion coefficient is evaluated as a function of the magnetic field strength and plasma temperature. The transport rate is found to increase by many orders of magnitude as the plasma temperature is lowered, for a magnetic field strength of 1 T. The sharp dependence on temperature is d… more

Deleterious Synergistic Effects of Concurrent Magnetic Field and Superparamagnetic (Fe3O4) Nanoparticle Exposures on CHO-K1 Cell Line

Description: While many investigations have been performed to establish a better understanding of the effects that magnetic fields and nanoparticles have on cells, the fundamental mechanisms behind the interactions are still yet unknown, and investigations on concurrent exposure are quite limited in scope. This study was therefore established to investigate the biological impact of concurrent exposure to magnetic nanoparticles and extremely-low frequency magnetic fields using an in-vitro CHO-K1 cell line mo… more

Magnetic Measurement of AGS Experimental Magnets

Description: This is a preliminary report on the magnetic measurements taken to date on the AGS experimental magnets.

The Magnetic Road: A New Form of Transport

Description: A study is made of the technical and economic feasibility of a frictionless magnetic suspension generated by superconductors for transportation. Experiments relating to the suspension are described. A conceptual design is presented where vehicles suspended by magnetic interaction with two small insulated superconducting rails carry passengers and freight in vacuum tunnels at 600-1000 mph or in air at 200-300 mph. Other applications are possible, particularly for spacecraft and aircraft launchin… more

Beam Separators for Bev Particles

Description: The problem of separation of beams of particles of different masses but of the same momentum at Bev energies is the subject of a great deal of study at several high energy laboratories. In this note we shall describe the problem and tabulate a few of the cogent parameters. Frequently the student of high energy interactions is faced with a beam of miscellaneous particles coming from an accelerator. By standard techniques this beam can be rendered approximately parallel and an inch or so in diame… more

Acceleration of Deuterons or Alpha Particles in the AGS

Description: The magnetic field of the AGS ring can contain particles of magnetic rigidity about 34 Bv/c. This includes not only protons of kinetic energy 33 Bev, but also 32 Bev deuterons, 64 Bev alpha particles, and conceivably heavier nuclei such as 188 Bev carbon nuclei. It will be shown in this paper that such nuclei can be injected and accelerated in the AGS if some rather small modifications are made in the injection and acceleration systems. What physics could be done with such beams? Several types … more
