Flexible cubic spline interpolation

Description: This report describes a simple, efficient, and flexible program for cubic spline interpolation in one dimension, suitable for inclusion in the ANL Subroutine Library and in an interactive timesharing system. Most of the cubic spline programs already available either restrict the boundary conditions to knowledge of the first derivative at both end points, or require the second derivatives to vanish at these points. The program described here removes these restrictions and enables the user to ado… more

Test of fixed-pipe distribution system for met-L-X dry powder fire extinguishers at EBR-II

Description: The Met-L-X storage unit and fixed-pipe system performed adequately, but the distribution provided by the nozzles as located is not satisfactory. Relocation of the nozzles does not appear to offer much promise for improvement because the number of nozzles required would necessitate a piping array nearly impossible to design or install around existing equipment. It would leave little room for equipment to be protected in a new installation. The tests reported did not address the question of whet… more

LMFBR (LIQUID METAL FAST BREEDER REACTOR) READTION RATE AND DOSIMETRY 3RD QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT DECEMBER 1971 JANUARY FEBRUARY 1972

Description: This report was compiled at the Hanford Engineering Development Laboratory operated by Westinghouse Hanford Company, a subsidiary of Westinghouse Electric Corporation, for the United States Atomic Energy Commission, Division of Reactor Development and Technology, under Contract No. AT (45-1) 2170. It describes technical progress made in the Interlaboratory LMFBR Reaction Rate Program during the reporting period. The Interlaboratory LMFBR Reaction Rate (ILRR) program has been established by USAE… more

Measurement of the sigma^o Lifetime

Description: The Coulomb production of {Sigma}{sup 0} hyperons on uranium and nickel nuclei has been measured in a beam of {Lambda} hyperons at the CERN Proton Synchrotron. The results for the {Sigma}{sup 0} lifetime, {tau}{Sigma}{sup 0} = (0.58 {+-} 0.13) x 10{sup -19} sec, and for the {Sigma}{sup 0}-{Lambda} magnetic transition moment, |{mu}{Sigma}{sub {Lambda}}| = (1.82{sub -0.18}{sup +0.25}) nuclear magnetons, are in agreement with SU(3) predictions.

Proposal for (p,p) and (p,n) Collision Experiments at Batavia by Use of Nuclear Emulsions and Electronic Detectors

Description: In this project we propose to measure: (1) the elastic differential cross-sections of 100-500 GeV protons in (p,p) collisions by use of nuclear emulsions, and (2) the energy spectrum and d{sigma}/dEd{Omega} of the light fragments {sub 1}H{sup 2}, {sub 1}H{sup 3}, {sub 2}He{sup 3}, {sub 2}He{sup 4} in (p,N) collisions at the same energy range using the electronic E-{Delta}E detectors.

Biomedical engineering support. Quarterly progress report

Description: During the quarter covered by this progress report (December 15, 1971 to March 15, 1972), the effects of variations in arterial pressure and heart rate on cardiac ouiput, efficiency as measured at the heart diaphragm, maximum air chamber pressure, average input power to the heart diaphragm, maximum blood chamber pressure and volumetric efficiency have been determined at various atrial pressures for a 7 cm base Kwan-Gett artificial heart made of smooth Silastic and equipped with Silastic flap in… more

CP violation, neutral currents, and weak equivalence

Description: Within the past few months two excellent summaries sup{(1,2)} of the state of our knowledge of the weak interactions have been presented. Correspondingly, we will not attempt a comprehensive review but instead concentrate this discussion on the status of CP violation; the question of the neutral currents, and the weak equivalence principle.

Review of high-temperature graphite irradiation behavior

Description: The irradiation behavior of reactor graphites at high temperatures (500/sup 0/ to 1400/sup 0/C) to high fluences (up to 4 x 10/sup 22/ n/cm/sup 2/) is reviewed. Recent data generated during the period 1965 through 1971 are emphasized. The review covers graphite manufacture, irradiation damage, dimensional and structural changes, thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, Young's modulus, strength, and irradiation-induced creep.
