Preliminary Studies on Electrical Propulsion Systems for Space Travel

Description: Report discussing low and high acceleration flight mechanics for interplanetary missions, as well as the energy limitation for electric propulsion systems powered by a nuclear energy source. From abstract: "An optimization procedure for low acceleration systems is given which leads to a simple relationship between mission requirements, payload fraction, power plant specific power, and exhaust velocity."

Small-Scale Instabilites of the Pinch and a Suggested Remedy: The Levitron

Description: Report discussing "experimental results on the classical stabilized pinch," "the usefulness of the Levitron in Stellarator-type operation," and "practical details of the levitation process." A configuration is presented which involves a "toroidal pinch tube inside which a rigid toroidal conductor is levitated by means of an induced magnetic field." Additionally, "an alternative scheme is considered, where the toroidal core is suspended from current-carrying wires, but this approach does not app… more

Microwave Interferometer Measurements for the Determination of Plasma Density Profiles in Controlled Fusion Experiments

Description: The following report demonstrates experimental verification of a method described in a previous paper--that involves measuring the dispersive microwave propagation coefficients simultaneously at several frequencies and comparing measured values with the values calculated for various distribution functions--and describes the procedure used to determine the distribution function in a sample laboratory plasma experiment.

Radial distribution of plasma in Astron's E-layer

Description: A report discussing a more general analysis of "the relation between plasma pressure in the Astron [Thermonuclear Reactor] and the magnetic field of the E-layer" which is described in UCRL-5032. The analysis given in this report has "no restriction to the exponential form and [satisfies] the condition that the pressure at the axis shall be zero."

Injection of Electrons into the Astron Reactor

Description: "The injection of the E-layer electrons into the Astron reactor is described by following the electrons as they emerge from the anode of the 1-Mev electron gun through the various steps up to their injection in the reactor volume. Several problems are imposed by this injection process and their solutions are discussed briefly. The detailed mathematical theory and calculations will be presented in a separate paper now in preparation."

Monte Carlo Methods

Description: Abstract: "The paper is concerned with the basic concepts and techniques of Monte Carlo, such as the generation of random numbers, the construction of samples from a given distribution, and techniques for reducing the variances of the estimates. The latter include the expected values method, systematic and stratified sampling, importance sampling, splitting and Russian roulette, conditional Monte Carlo, and correlation and regression. These are discussed with reference to two examples: a system… more
