FASTBUS for the particle accelerator laboratories

Description: The FASTBUS modular high speed data acquisition and control system for high energy physics and other applications was described by Costrell and Dawson at the 1983 Particle Accelerator Conference. Both the specification and the implementation of this interlaboratory development have progressed considerably since that time. Because of its many attractive features, FASTBUS is currently in use in several major nuclear and high energy physics laboratories and is also finding application in other are… more

Measurement trends for future safeguards systems

Description: Safeguards for future commercial-scale nuclear facilities may employ three materials control and accounting concepts: classical accounting, dynamic materials balancing, and independent verification of inventories and materials balances. Typical measurement needs associated with the implementation of these concepts at high-throughput facilities are discussed. Promising measurement methods for meeting these needs are described and recent experience is cited. General directions and considerations … more

Neutron cross section standards evaluations for ENDF/B-VI

Description: The neutron cross section standards are now being evaluated as the initial phase in the development of the new ENDF/B-VI file. These standards evaluations are following a somewhat different process compared with that used for earlier versions of ENDF. The primary effort is concentrated on a simultaneous evaluation using a generalized least squares program, R-matrix evaluations, and a procedure for combining the results of these evaluations. The ENDF/B-VI standards evaluation procedure is outlin… more

Performance of an rf beam monitor on the NBS-Los Alamos racetrack microtron

Description: A prototype rf beam-position, current, and phase monitor has been used on the 100-keV injector beamline of the racetrack microtron (RTM) where performance was measured with the chopped and bunched beam. This monitor works with both a pulsed beam and a cw beam. The pulsed beam consists of beam pulses with a FWHM of 40 ns. The rf beam monitor was tested with beam currents from approx. 50 to 600 ..mu..A. The rf beam monitor will be described and its performance will be reported. 6 refs., 5 figs.

A study of vibronic coupling in the tilde C state of CO/sub 2//sup +/

Description: We have studied vibronic coupling in vibrationally resolved photoionization to the fourth electronic state of CO/sub 2//sup +/, C(/sup 2/..sigma../sub g//sup +/), in the photon-energy range h nu = 20 to 28.5 eV. The measurements utilize high-resolution hemispherical electron analyzers, equipped with area detectors, and the SURF-II synchrotron radiation source at the National Bureau of Standards. The angular distribution asymmetry-parameters (..beta..) for the allowed C(0,0,0) and forbidden C(1,… more

Sub-threshold excited Cl K. beta. (K-V) x-ray fluorescence from CF/sub 3/Cl molecule

Description: With the availability of tunable synchrotron radiation sources, unoccupied molecular orbits (below vacuum level) can be selectively populated producing highly excited neutral molecules. X-ray fluorescence spectra from molecules were obtained with excitation below the ionization threshold and were observed to have significant intensity changes, absolute and relative energy position shifts and line width changes as compared to fluorescence spectra excited above the threshold. As an example, the C… more
