Helium-jet coupled mass separator: advances and directions. [UNISOR; for nuclei far from beta stability]

Description: Results from the RAMA-88 system at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory are being used to design a new helium-jet and ion source system for the UNISOR project. This system should complement the existing integrated target-ion source to extend UNISOR's capabilities to include a majority of the chemical elements. This fast transport helium-jet system should permit studies of nuclides with half-lives down to 50 ms.

Optimum collection time for short-lived isotopes

Description: In dealing with an isotope whose half-life is comparable to the processing time, the target-maker wishes to terminate the procedure at a point that will maximize the amount of the desired material on the target. This cut-off time is not always easy to determine; while it is true that fresh material is constantly being deposited, the isotope previously laid down is steadily decaying, and in addition the rate at which fresh material is applied is usually decreasing. The purpose of this paper is t… more

Neutron flux enhancement at LASREF

Description: The accelerator at the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility produces a 1-mA beam of protons at an energy of 800 MeV. Since 1985, the Los Alamos Spallation Radiation Effects Facility (LASREF) has made use of the neutron flux that is generated as the incident protons interact with the nuclei in targets and a copper beam stop. A variety of basic and applied experiments in radiation damage and radiation effects have been completed. Recent studies indicate that the flux at LASREF can be increased by at… more

Calculated thickness of tungsten alloy required for specified attenuation of gamma radiation from sup 137 CS

Description: The traditional method of evaluating and calibrating health physics instruments is to use a calibrator that consists of a single high-activity gamma radiation source with different attenuators to select the radiation level desired for tesing. To have accurate radiation intensities inside the calibrator cavity, the attenuators must be designed from precise absorption calculations. This paper reports calculations made to determine the thickness of tungsten alloy metal required for specific attenu… more
