Effects of Gamma-ray Irradiation on the Mechanical Properties of NaCl Single Crystals

Description: The plastic behavior of both unirradiated and gamma-ray irradiated NaCl single crystals has been studied with a variety of techniques. These include the determination of stress-strain curves, and photoelastic, surface, topography, and F-center absorption band, measurements, The different stages of deformation in unirradiated crystals are compared with the corresponding stages of irradiated ones. One effect is that irradiation greatly extends the easy glide region. Some insight into this behavio… more

Radiation Damage to Water

Description: Water may decompose under radiation to give hydrogen and oxygen gases and small amounts of hydrogen peroxide. The amount of decomposition depends critically on the nature of the radiation, the kind and amount of dissolved materials present, and the temperature. Destruction of dissolved material may proceed to a greater extent than that of the water itself. The basic theory of these effects is briefly outlined. Engineering problems resulting from radiation chemical effects in water are discussed… more

Remarks by R. Christian Anderson of the Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, L.I., New York, at the conclusion of Professor Scott's talk on "The Light Metal Carbonyls".

Description: Our interest in the light metal carbonyls is twofold. One phase concerns the general chemistry and structure of these compounds inasmuch as they provide interesting and important organic materials and may be considered to be organometallic substances. Secondly and secondarily, these materials afford a convenient synthetic route to isotopically labeled compounds since the labeled precursor, carbon monoxide, is readily available.

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.

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

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 Pressures of Isotopic Ethylenes: Chemical and Structural Isomers

Description: The theory of isotope effects on vapor pressures for systems with large quantum effects, as manifested by the cross-over phenomenon and deviation from the rule of the mean, is illustrated by the large body of experimental data on the isotopic ethylenes which has recently become available. An effect of molecular geometry was found, viz. a difference in vapor pressures of cis-, trans- . and gemdideuteroethylenes. This was shown to be related to the hindered rotation about the C=C axis in the liqu… 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

Instrumentation and Control of the Brookhaven Nuclear Reactor

Description: Safe startup and operation of the nuclear reactor requires neutron sensing instruments to cover a range of about 10^9. This coverage is obtained by a counting rate meter, a period meter, and a high level power indicator. At normal operating levels, the reactor is regulated by the high level power controller and protected by the high level trips. Emergency shutdown of the reactor can be initiated by any one of the 54 different conditions. Since these safety circuits are almost 100% "fail safe",… more

Design and Performance of Bending and Quadrupole Magnets for the AGS Experimental Program

Description: During the early planning for experiments to be carried out at the Brookhaven AGS, it was decided that the beam-transport equipment should be kept to a minimum number of types, yet with sufficient flexibility that a wide variety of beams could be made up from the modules selected. This policy has been followed during the intervening years, with additions being made only in the total numbers of these modules and, as yet, no further types being fabricated. The types and their performance will be … more
