Development of thin foils for use in generating neutral particle beams

Description: The Isotope Research Materials Laboratory (IRML) was requested to prepare large-area, ultrathin aluminum and carbon foils for use in beam neutralization experiments. There were two major parts to this request. The first was to immediately provide a number of 5-cm-dia foils 5 to 20 ..mu..g/cm/sup 2/ thick for use in experiments at the Fusion Materials Irradiation Test (FMIT) facility and at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). The second, longer-term request was to develop methods to prepare 25-cm… more

Preparation of thin films for use in generating neutral particle beams

Description: Large-area, thin aluminum foils were prepared for use in beam neutralization experiments. The foils were made using either electron beams of resistance heating. Foil thickness and uniformity were determined using alpha particles. The foils perform very well when bombarded by energetic H/sup -/ ions. (DLC)

Limit on tau neutrino mass

Description: Using the complete data sample of 300 pb/sup -1/ collected by the HRS spectrometer in e/sup +/e/sup -/ collisions at 29 GeV, mass limit for the tau neutrino is set. The end point of the hadronic mass spectrum is determined in the decays tau ..-->.. 5..pi../sup + -/nu/sub tau/ and tau ..-->.. 5..pi../sup + -/..pi../sup 0/nu/sub tau/.

Measurement of the electroweak asymmetry in the reaction e/sup +/e/sup -/. -->. tau/sup +/tau/sup -/ at 29 GeV

Description: This paper reports the electroweak asymmetry in the reaction e/sup +/e/sup -/ ..-->.. tau/sup +/tau/sup -/ at 29 GeV. The results came from data taken with the High Resolution Spectrometer at PEP corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 256 pb/sup -1/. The 7372 observed events give A/sub tau tau/ = -(4.4 +- 1.4 +- 0.5)%. Events selected in the central region of the detector measure a total cross section of R/sub tau tau/ = 1.06 +- 0.02 +- 0.04. 5 refs., 1 fig.

Multiplicity distributions in e/sup +/e/sup -/ annihilation at 29 GeV: a comparison with hadronic data

Description: The charged particle multiplicity distributions for single jets in e/sup +/e/sup -/ annihilation at 29 GeV have been measured using the High Resolution Spectrometer at PEP. The shape of the distribution agrees well with a Poisson distribution. No correlation is observed between the multiplicities in the two jets of an event. For fixed values of the prong number of the total event, the multiplicity sharing between the two jets is in good agreement with a binomial distribution. These observations… more

Search for spin-dependent effects in c-quark fragmentation

Description: Events of the reaction e/sup +/e/sup -/ ..-->.. c anti c at 29 GeV were isolated by observing D* mesons through D*/sup +/ ..-->.. D/sup 0/..pi../sup +/ decay. The D/sup 0/ decay modes used are D/sup 0/ ..-->.. K..pi.., K3..pi.., and K..pi..(..pi../sup 0/). The data, which correspond to an integrated luminosity of 300 pb/sup -1/, were collected by the High Resolution Spectrometer at PEP.

Upper limit on the D*(2010) decay width

Description: We report a measurement of the upper limit of the decay width for the D*/sup +/(2010) meson using the High Resolution Spectrometer at PEP. We observed the charged D* production in the decay mode of D*/sup +/ ..-->.. D/sup 0/..pi../sup +/ with the D/sup 0/ decaying into the K/sup -/..pi../sup +/ mode. The peak in the mass difference distribution M(K/sup -/..pi../sup +/..pi../sup +/)-M(K/sup -/..pi../sup +/) was used to directly measure the decay width. The width is dominated by the detector reso… more

Asymmetry in the angular distribution of inclusive A baryons from e/sup +/e/sup -/ annihilations at. sqrt. s = 29 GeV

Description: The forward-backward asymmetry A expected from the ..gamma.. - Z/sup 0/ interference term in the process e/sup +/e/sup -/ ..-->.. q anti q is observed in the lab production angular distribution of high momentum A baryons. The data were collected with the High Resolution Spectrometer at PEP and an integrated luminosity of 256 pb/sup -1/ at ..sqrt..s = 29 GeV was used in the analysis. The asymmetry is seen to increase with the fractional energy z = 2E/..sqrt..s of the A due to the decreasing pres… more

Physical inventory verification exercise for a highly enriched uranium fabrication facility

Description: The International Atomic Energy Agency, in collaboration with the US Support Program (POTAS), has developed and conducted a training exercise simulating a physical inventory verification (PIV) at a highly enriched uranium (HEU) fabrication facility. This exercise is part of a series sponsored by the POTAS program, including PIVs at light-water reactors and plutonium fabrication facilities. The first HEU exercise took place in September 1985 at Los Alamos National Laboratory and a second is sche… more

Consolidation and shear failure leading to subsidence and settlement. Final report

Description: Subsidence and settlement are phenomena that are much more destructive than generally thought. In shallow land burials they may lead to cracking of the overburden and eventual exposure and escape of waste material. The primary causes are consolidation and cave-ins. Laboratory studies performed at Los Alamos permit us to predict settlement caused by consolidation or natural compaction of the crushed tuff overburden. We have also investigated the shear failure characteristics of crushed tuff that… more

Low-level integrated system test

Description: An unusually wet season permitted us to test the integrity of our biobarrier installed in the improved or modified plots in our integrated system. Although the modified plots had a reduced water-holding capacity, they delivered leachate only at the drain installed above the biobarrier, demonstrating once more that the biobarrier is behaving successfully as a capillary barrier in rerouting the subsurface flow around the tuff beneath the biobarrier. As a result of vertical water flow impedance, m… more

NMR investigations of aging effects in palladium tritide

Description: Using pulsed NMR techniques, relaxation times for triton, proton, and /sup 3/He nuclei in recently synthesized PdH/sub x/ and PdT/sub x/ samples were measured as a function of temperature in the range 100 less than or equal to T less than or equal to 300/sup 0/K. Rigid lattice second moments (T approx. = 100/sup 0/K) were also determined. These results provide baseline information for an extended study of aging effects of PdT/sub x/. 6 refs., 7 figs., 2 tabs.

Stress corrosion cracking tests on high-level-waste container materials in simulated tuff repository environments

Description: Types 304L, 316L, and 321 austenitic stainless steel and Incoloy 825 are being considered as candidate container materials for emplacing high-level waste in a tuff repository. The stress corrosion cracking susceptibility of these materials under simulated tuff repository conditions was evaluated by using the notched C-ring method. The tests were conducted in boiling synthetic groundwater as well as in the steam/air phase above the boiling solutions. All specimens were in contact with crushed To… more
