- The 6-Foot-4-Inch Wind Tunnel at the Washington Navy Yard
- Report discussing the 6-foot-4-inch wind tunnel and its auxiliary equipment has proven itself capable of continuous and reliable output of data. The real value of the tunnel will increase as experience is gained in checking the observed tunnel performance against full-scale performance. Such has been the case of the 8- by 8-foot tunnel, and for that reason the comparison in the calibration tests have been presented.

- 709 Program for Reduction of Exponential Pile Data
- A multi-purpose program for processing exponential data has been prepared for the 709 computer. The main purposes of the program is to compute the material buckling from raw data (given counts, time, and counter information) or from previously calculated Athermal's. It is also possible to compute only CeCh (end and harmonic corrections) for a given B11 or series if B11's no counting data being entered. In every case, pile measurements must be submitted as input for corrections.

- Acoustic radiation from two-dimensional rectangular cutouts in aerodynamic surfaces
- From Introduction: "The experiments in high-speed flow showed that an intense, high-frequency acoustic radiation is an essential feature of the problem. Consequently, a study of the acoustic field (involving schlieren observations and frequency and intensity measurements) was undertaken. This report presents the salient features of the study, which was mainly exploratory."
- Activation Energy for Fission
- Abstract: The experimentally determined exponential dependence of spontaneous fission rate on Z^2/A has been used to derive an expression for the dependence of the fission activation energy on Z^2/A. This expression has been used to calculate the activation energy for slow neutron induced fission and photofission. The correlation with the experimental data on these types of fission seems to be quite good.
- Additional Experiments on Stored Energy in BNL Reactor Graphite
- In the memorandum entitled "Stored Energy in BNL Reactor Graphite", dated February 25, 1953, there is described an experiment conducted by Gurinsky's group to determine the energy per gram of irradiated graphite released in a 200°C anneal. Similar experiments were subsequently conducted by W. Kosiba, differing from the original in two particulars: a) Instead of two graphite samples, one normal, and one irradiated, Kosiba used only an irradiated sample which he heated first to release the stored energy, and then again after the energy was released. In this way, he obtained time against temperature curves for both normal and irradiated graphite from the same sample. (These curves are graphed for each run in Figs. 1 thru 5.) b) The vycor tubing used in the original experiment was not used by Kosiba. Five runs of this experiment were selected, Runs 4P, 13, 36, and 40 at furnace temperatures of 200°C, and Run 45 at a furnace temperature of 400°C.

- Analysis of Nucleon-Nucleon Scattering Experiments
- Presented at session S-1 of the Tenth Annual International Conference on High-Energy Physics, Rochester, New York, August 25- September 1, 1960. The analysis of the latest experiments on p-p scattering at 210 Mev makes it probable that there is a unique set of phase shifts at this energy. Under reasonable assumptions about continuity of the phase shifts and the behavior of the higher partial waves, it is possible to pick a unique solution also at 310 and 95 Mev. This opens a new era in the analysis of nucleon-nucleon scattering, which should lead to a unique model for the scattering matrix up to 400 Mev. Theoretical attempts to calculate a "meson potential" from field theory have not been successful, and the semi-phenomenological potential models, although now in good qualitative agreement with experiment, are not quantitatively reliable. Instead of using these models as a basis for an energy-dependent parameterization of the scattering matrix, as was done by Breit and his collaborators, it is here argued that the Mandelstam representation offers a more reliable starting point. A formalism is developed which allows the one and two pion exchange interaction to be included exactly and gives a Lorentz-invariant description of the rest of the interaction. Coulomb effects are included in single pion exchange, and it is shown that the /sup 1/S/sub O/ n-p and p-p states are charge independent within the region of the remaining theoretical uncertainties. A new analysis is presented of n-p total cross sections between 1 and 14 Mev which obtains a value of 2.67 approximately 0.03 for the singlet effective range, in good agreement with the theoretical prediction. Results of an energy-dependent analysis of 387 pieces of p-p data reported elsewhere are examined from the point of view of the Mandelstam representation. The parameters which fit the /sup 1/S/sub …
