A Test for Electron Transfer in the Intermetallic Compound, V4Al23

Description: Abstract: "Abnormally short interatomic distances are characteristic of aluminum-transition element compounds which occur at the aluminum-rich ends of the phase diagram." Summary: "The theoretical model assumed in this investigation was that of spherical distribution of electrons centered about atomic sites in the V4Al23 structure, represented by the theoretical scattering factors for the isolated atoms. ...It is evident from the (Fo-Fc)-synthesis maps that too much scattering power has been … more

The Mass Spectrum of Stannane

Description: From abstract: "The mass spectrum of stannane, SnH4, has been studied. Ion fragmentation patterns for both the singly and doubly charged fragments were obtained employing 70-volt electrons. From appearance potential data, an estimation of the bond energies of the tin-hydrogen bond in the ion-species SnH+3-H, SnH+2-H, SnH+-H, Sn+-H has been made along with [delta]Hf for SnH4. The studies were first made with tin of normal isotopic abundance, and then the results were corroborated with SnH4 prepa… more

Intermediate Heat Exchanger Preliminary Design. Vol. 1, IHX Preliminary Design

Description: Preface: The intermediate heat exchanger is designed for operation in a nuclear power plant using liquid sodium as the primary and secondary coolant. Since the primary fluid coming from the reactor is radioactive, the purpose of the IHX is to transfer heat to a nonradioactive fluid which then goes to a steam generator. Because of this activity the until will be enclosed in a concrete pit and will not be accessible during periods of operation. Immediately after shut down it will be necessary … more

Measurement Of Average Neutron Energies For (o, n) Neutron Sources

Description: A method is presented for measuring the average energy of the neutrons from a source. The attenuation of the neutrons by polyethylene is measured by the use of a long counter in good geometry. The attenuation length is a sensitive function of the neutron energy. The average neutron energies from several (o, n) sources have been measured and agree well with values obtained by other techniques.

The Cross Section For Compound-Nucleus Formation In Heavy-Ion-Induced Reactions

Description: With the increasing availability of accelerators capable of producing beams of heavy ions it has become useful to know the cross section for a heavy ion to form a compound nucleus by interaction with a target nucleus. The results of calculations based on two simple models are presented here in order to give some idea of the magnitude of this cross section as a function of the energy of the bombarding particle.

II. K+ Charge Exchange - Production Of Ko Mesone By Charge Exchange Of K+ In Propane

Description: In another paper there was reported an attempt to observe the charge-exchange process in a counter-triggered multiplate cloud chamber at the Bevatron but the interpretation was ambiguous. Shortly after the close of that experiment the 30-in. propane bubble chamber at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory was completed and able to be used for a combined engineering test and experiment. The existence of Reaction (1) has been confirmed in this experiment, and an approximate cross-section value for car… more

A Radiofrequency Separator For High-Energy Particles

Description: This report is an outgrowth of the MURA Users' Conference of June 1959. At that conference the group on beam separators discussed the problem of whether particle separation could be achieved at the machine energies under consideration. A preliminary version of the scheme outlined here was given at the conference. Later, after flaws were discovered, it was modified. The attempt is not to show that this is the way it should be done, but to show with reasonable certainty that there is at least one… more
