Radiative corrections in SU/sub 2/ x U/sub 1/ LEP/SLC

Description: We show the sensitivity of various experimental measurements to one-loop radiative corrections in SU/sub 2/ x U/sub 1/. Models considered are the standard GSW model as well as extensions of it which include extra quarks and leptons, SUSY and certain technicolor models. The observation of longitudinal polarization is a great help in seeing these effects in asymmetries in e/sup +/e/sup -/ ..-->.. ..mu../sup +/..mu../sup -/, tau/sup +/tau/sup -/ on Z/sup 0/ resonance. 25 refs., 22 figs., 10 tabs.

Electrical Conductivity Measurements in Shock Compressed Liquid Nitrogen

Description: The electrical conductivity of shock compressed liquid nitrogen was measured in the pressure range 20 to 50 GPa using a two-stage light-gas gun. The conductivities covered a range 4 x 10/sup -2/ to 1 x 10/sup 2/ ohm/sup -1/ cm/sup -1/. The data are discussed in terms of a liquid semiconductor model below the onset of the dissociative phase transition at 30 GPa. 15 refs., 1 fig.

Comparison of x-ray computed tomography, through-transmission ultrasound, and low-kV x-ray imaging for characterizing green-state ceramics

Description: Green-state MgAl/sub 2/O/sub 4/ compact disk specimens have been studied by x-ray computed tomography (CT), through-transmission pulsed ultrasound, and low-kV x-ray imaging to compare the abilities of these nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods to detect flaws and density variations. X-ray computed tomographic images were obtained from a 125-kV (peak) imaging system with a 512 x 512 matrix and a pixel size of 100 ..mu..m. A 3- to 10- MHz focused-beam ultrasonic transducer was used, together w… more

Control and initial operation of the Fermilab BO low. beta. insertion

Description: The operation of the Fermilab BO low ..beta.. insertion involves the coordinated control of the 4 strings of quadrupoles of the insertion itself along with several magnetic correction elements (20 dipoles for the closed orbit, 2 quad circuits for betatron tunes, 1 skew quad circuit for coupling, and 2 sextupole circuits for chromaticity). When the beam is stored at high energy, these elements must correct the errors induced by the strong superconducting quadrupoles of the insertion as the optic… more

Phonon effect on the temperature dependence of spin susceptibility and magnetization in metals

Description: In many transition metals the paramagnetic spin susceptibility X increases with increasing temperature much beyond ordinary theories could account for. We demonstrate how the effect of the electron-phonon interactions enable us to understand such temperature dependence of X.

Confinement at large-N. [N = number of colors]

Description: Recent numerical results indicate that QCD in the limit of an infinite number (N) of colors also has confinement and moreover that it looks rather similar to normal QCD with N = 3 colors. This imposes severe restrictions on what the mechanism of confinement can be.

Ultrasonic longitudinal wave velocity in carbon-carbon Pitch and Pitch/M2 shape stable nosetip material from 70/sup 0/F to 5400/sup 0/F

Description: A pulse echo method was used in two notched rods of carbon-carbon Pitch material and one rod of Pitch/M2 shape stable nosetip material to measure the temperature dependence of the longitudinal wave velocity from room temperature to 5400/sup 0/F. The velocity was constant to within 2% of the room temperature value for the Pitch parent material throughout the temperature range. For the Pitch/M2 material, the velocity increased to a maximum of 10% at 4000/sup 0/F and then decreased rapidly. Room t… more

Pulsed power supplies for the Fermilab 1 TeV switchyard

Description: An upgraded system of pulseed switching magnets has been implemented in the Fermilab Switchyard to accommodate proton energies up to 1 TeV. These devices are required for switching the ''slow'' and ''fast'' extracted beams into their respective beam lines. ''Slow'' beam passes undeflected through the magnet in the off condition. During a puls ''slow'' is disabled and ''fast'', which is of approx.1 ms duration, is deflected. The requirement then is for a ''flat-top'' current pulse of minimum ris… more

Mossbauer effect and neutron diffraction study of the anomalous lattice behavior of U/sub 6/Fe

Description: Neutron diffraction and /sup 57/Fe Moessbauer effect measurements have been made on the exchange-enhanced superconductor U/sub 6/Fe. The neutron diffraction results indicate a pronounced anisotropy in the thermal expansion of the unit cell and an anomalous temperature dependence for the c-axis component of the total Debye-Waller factor of Fe below 100K. The Moessbauer effect measurements show non-Debye behavior in the mean-squared displacement of Fe, with phonon hardening occurring below 100K. … more

Tevatron global radius and 0s system

Description: It has been found to be practical to extract a turn-average measurement of bunch beam phase relative to cavity gap voltage. This 0s signal shows the bunch position on the rf wave throughout injection, acceleration and extraction, including coherent synchrotron oscillations when present. In turn, the time derivative of 0s is a direct measure of global radial position error. We use the 0s signal, driving a phase shifter in the rf low-level system, to damp coherent synchrotron oscillations. Design… more

Improvement of the high voltage properties of the Fermilab electrostatic septa

Description: In the Fermilab Tevatron Switchyard proton beam splits ae initiated by a wire array electrostatic septum. At 1 TeV energy, and with fields limited to 50 kV/cm, an electrostatic septum more than 20 meters in length is required to produce the required angular separation between the beams for the Proton and Neutrino/Meson lines. New techniques have been investigated that will allow reliable operation at fields above 75 kV/cm with resultant beam line economy. Changes in construction and conditionin… more
