Neutron Dosimetry in and Around Human Phantoms By Use of Nuclear Track Emulsion

Description: The validity of the nuclear track emulsion technique for fast-neutron dosimetry is examined in the exposure of a human phantom to PuBe neutrons, Semiautomatic track scanning and high-speed data analysis obviate the major disadvantages of emulsion dosimetry, and allow the absolute differential proton track energy spectrum at various locations in the phantom to be obtained without a serious cost in time. From this are calculated the total absorbed local tissue dose due to proton recoils and the l… more

Hyperon Production by 3.25 Bev/c Antiprotons in Hydrogen

Description: Preliminary results are presented on hyperon-anti-hyperon production in proton-anti-proton collisions at 3.25 Bev/c. The exposure consisted of approximately 40,000 pictures taken in the Brookhaven National Laboratory 20" liquid hydrogen bubble chamber. The anti-proton beam was extracted from the A.G.S. and electro-statically separated. An average of approximately 15 anti-protons per picture was obtained at this momentum with an estimated beam contamination of less than 10K. The beam momentum wa… more

The Separated Beam at the AGS - Performance with Antiprotons and π⁺ Mesons

Description: During 1961 and 1962, a separated beam was designed and installed at the AGS for use with the 20 inch hydrogen bubble chamber. The beam utilizes electromagnetic velocity spectrometers in two stages of separation. Since the fall of 1962, the bubble chamber has taken 600,000 pictures containing antiprotons, K± mesons, and π± mesons as beam tracks. This paper concerns the use of the separated beam for antiprotons and π⁺ mesons.

Economic Factors of MFP Thermoelectric Generators

Description: "Mixed Fission Products (MFP) for use as a heat source for thermoelectric generators will become increasingly available in the coming years. The Atomic Energy Commission sponsored program on solidification of nuclear wastes is now entering the hot-bench scale test phase. During this phase approximately 5000 thermal watts of two year old MFP could be produced monthly. Two different types of hot calcination pilot plants are planned for installation at the Hanford National Laboratories in the 1964… more

Time Dependence of Space Charge Beam Losses in the Cosmotron

Description: An investigation was made of Cosmotron intensity versus time through the entire time interval from the beginning of injection to the completion of r-f capture. The induction electrode signal was used for the instantaneous measurement of beam intensity. Oscilloscope displays of the signal were photographed and traced. Base lines were filled in on the tracings and the area of the pulses measured with a polar planimeter. It was found that the relation losses of beam intensity increase with injecti… more

The K"p Interaction at 2.24 Bev/c I: Effective Mass Distributions

Description: The purpose of this note is to discuss results based on the 2 and 3 particle effective mass distributions of selected production channels from K~-p interactions at 2.24 BeV/c. The experimental distributions show clearly that the production of intermediate resonant states is still important at higher energies. We present below preliminary information concerning the resonant states: K*9 Y*9 co, and Y*9 m = 1520. Further, the effective mass distribution of the heretofore unobserved channels, AKK a… more

K⁻ -p Interactions at 2.24 Bev/c II: Production Properties

Description: The purpose of this note is to report various properties of the production modes of K -p interactions at 2.24 Bev/c. Specifically, we present 1) preliminary estimates of the partial cross sections, 2) production angular distributions for those combinations of channels which we believe to be well identified, and 3) for channels of particular interest, we present up-down decay distributions from which hyperon polarization information is obtained. Many of the observed final states which are called… more

Vapor Pressures of Isotopic Molecules

Description: It is apparent that major progress has been made both in the experimental and theoretical study of the vapor pressures of isotopic molecules in the last five years. Vapor pressure measurements are being made in different laboratories by different methods which agree with one another within a few hundredths of one percent. The theory has advanced to the point where a large body o experimental data can be systematized and understood. Quantitative calculations have been carried out which verify th… more

Molecular Geometry and the Vapor Pressure of Isotopic Molecules: C₂H₃D and C¹²H₂=C¹³H₂

Description: The isotopic vapor pressure ratio between monodeuteroethylene and ordinary ethylene has been measured in the temperature range 120°-180°K by differential manometry. The inverse isotope effect with C₂¹²H₃D is less than one‐half the effect observed with the dideuteroethylenes. This deviation from the rule of the geometric mean gives further support to the structural theory of isotopic vapor pressure effects and confirms the importance of quantum corrections of the order of (ℏ/kT)⁴ and higher. Vap… more

Future Program for the Cern PS and the Brookhaven AGS

Description: The alternating-gradient proton synchrotrons at CERN and Brookhaven are very similar in size, design and in their experimental use. For this reason, collaboration between the groups at CERN and Brookhaven has been close throughout the history of these two machines. For the most part this has taken the form of exchanges of visits of individual machine designers and of high-energy physicists. By 1962, however, it appeared that the reciprocal flow of information was not adequate and a more formal … more

Minutes of the Conference of Linear Accelerators for High Energies

Description: During the past year notable progress was made in several laboratories on design for linear accelerators in the energy range up to and above 1 Bev. Interest in linacs for this energy centers on two possible applications: first, as injectors for 300 to 1000 Bev synchrotrons, and second, as sources of intense meson beams. To review this progress, a conference jointly sponsored by the Brookhaven National Laboratory and Yale University was held at Brookhaven during the week of August 20, 1962.

Leakage Neutron Spectrum of U²³³ Critical Assembly

Description: Abstract: "The leakage neutron spectrum of a U²³³ spherical critical assembly (Jezebel) has been measured using nuclear emulsions as radiator and detector. The spectrum obtained is compared with similar measurements on the U-235 and Pu-239 analogues of Jezebel U²³³; it is found to agree closely with that of the Pu-239 assembly and to be harder than that of the U-235 assembly. All three spectra are compared with theoretical spectra obtained from a numerical approximation to the neutron transport… more

A Comparison of OH- Motions in Brucite and Micas

Description: Despite similar atomic arrangement, Brucite (Mg(OH)2) and phlogopite (KMg3(OH)2(Al,Si3)O10) present striking difference in their infrared spectra. A single absorption band is observed in phlogopite whence brucite possesses a total of 15 bands on both sides of the fundamental. A comparison of the hydroxides with micas provides supporting evidence that the complexity of the hydroxide spectra is due to interactions between neighboring hydroxyl groups. Each mineral contains a layer of magnesium ion… more
