Preferential Pumping and Its Application to the P⁴ Experiment

Description: Report analyzing the "preferential removal of neutral gas from an incompletely ionized plasma in which the ionized particles are allowed to drift along magnetic field lines through a differentially pumped channel" and its relation to the P⁴ experiment. The report also analyzes the regenerative and non-regenerative losses of plasma by radial diffusion, as well as "considerations relating to the ultimate disposal of overflow plasma."

Solutions of the Reactor Kinetics Equations for Time-Dependent Reactivities

Description: Abstract: The reactor kinetics equations are combined into a single integral equation whose kernel describes the time-dependent characteristics of the reactor including six delayed groups of neutrons. Numerical solutions of the integral equation are given for constant, linear, and ∫sin²kx dx reactivities. An approximate solution of the integral equation is obtained which provides a basis for the formulation and solution of the reactor system control problem using the methods of servomechanisms … more

Electronics Counting Rooms for Nuclear Research

Description: Abstract: "This report describes six electronics areas at the Radiation Laboratory (Berkeley and Livermore) that are being successfully used with various particle acceleration for nuclear research. The electronics equipment, consisting of pulse amplifiers, scalers, coincidence circuits, pulse-height analyzers, automatic recording equipment, high-voltage supplies, etc., is arranged in such a manner that most experiments can be quickly set up, and a number of people can run experiments simultaneo… more

The Safety Program of the University of California Radiation Laboratory at Livermore, California

Description: From abstract: "The Safety Program of the University of California Radiation Laboratory at Livermore, California, is discussed in terms of the functions of the six independent safety groups that comprise the laboratory's primary safety organization, namely, Industrial Safety, Medical Safety, Fire Prevention and First Aid, Health Chemistry, Health Physics, and High-Explosive Safety Groups."

The Masses of the Heavy Isotopes

Description: Radioactive decay data are used to calculate the atomic masses of the heavy isotopes, A> 203. The four radioactive families are then connected by means of neutron binding energies known from reactions on various isotopes. Finally all the masses are collectively adjusted for the best fit with mass spectrographic information available in this region. The masses so calculated are presented. Differences between masses of isotopes are estimated to have an of (plus/minus) 0.00020 mas units or abo… more

The Distribution of the Positive-Negative Ratio for Mesons

Description: Positive and negative mesons produced in a common target in the cyclotron are received in two photographic plates. In the magnetic field of the cyclotron, negatives are deflected to one plate, positives to the other. The mesons must pass through an absorber before entering the plates in order to be observable.

Considerations on the Effect of Beam-Dee Coupling in a Cyclotron RF System

Description: Analysis of the problem of accelerating ions in a Thomas cyclotron has been confined almost entirely to the integration of various equations of motion (for single particles) for which a complete field description is necessary. In contrast, the problem of principal interest to rf system engineers concerns the gross transfer of electrical energy from an rf generator into an accelerated beam.

Equipment And Methods For Automatic Track Analysis

Description: The writer has initiated a comprehensive program of equipment development designed to give the maximum practical aid to the physicists and technicians who are carrying out track measurements. Some attention has also been given to developing systems of data handling using International Business Machine (IBM) equipment and Keysort cards. In addition, some of the steps to insure the accuracy of the emulsion data are taken long before the emulsion is studied under the microscope.

Cratering Experience With Chemical And Nuclear Explosives

Description: Over the past 13 years a considerable body of data on explosive cratering has been developed for application to nuclear excavation projects. These data were obtained from some ten cratering programs using chemical explosives (TNT or nitromethane) and seven nuclear cratering detonations. The types of media studied have ranged from marine muck to hard, dry basalt, although most effort has been devoted to craters in NTS desert alluvium and basalt. Considerable effort has also been devoted to the s… more

Hydromagnetic Ionizing Fronts

Description: One of the techniques by which highly ionized plasmas can be generated in the laboratory makes use of strong, electromagnetically driven shock waves propagating into a cold gas. In this paper the phenomenon is analyzed as a one-dimensional single-fluid hydromagnetic problem, neglecting dissipation behind the wave. We hypothesize that the rarefaction wave remains attached to the front. In the limit of essentially complete ionization behind the front the problem can be solved analytically as long… more
