Cornell undulator/summary of discussions

Description: Based on an earlier statement made by CESR (during the meeting in March 1986 at Cornell) that the ring energy can be 6-GeV and the minimum gap can be 0.9 cm, we performed design calculations for the Cornell undulator. These are presented and briefly summaried in this report.

Effects of long-term exposure of tuffs to high-level nuclear waste repository conditions. Final report

Description: We have performed exploratory tests to investigate the effects of extended exposure of tuffs from Yucca Mountain, Nevada, to temperatures and pressures similar to those that will be encountered in a high-level nuclear waste repository. In a preliminary report we described statistically significant changes in strength properties and generally minor changes in porosity and grain density. In the present report we describe additional measurements that indicate possible changes in permeability (in o… more

Geochemical modeling (EQ3/6) plan: Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management Program

Description: This plan replaces an earlier plan for the Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations (NNWSI) Project. It includes activities for all repository projects in the Office of Geologic Repositories: NNWSI, the Basalt Waste Isolation Project, the Salt Repository Project, and the Crystalline Project. Each of these projects is part of the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM) Program. The scope of work for fiscal years 1986 to 1992 includes the work required to upgrade the geochemica… more

Characterization of Photosynthetic Efficiency and Growth of Selected Microalgae in Dense Culture

Description: An objective of the Aquatic Species Program is the development of large scale culturing systems for the production of fuels from lipid-rich microalgae. A major constraint to any such culturing system is the provision of sufficient light in the most economical manner possible, which has led to the use of shallow outdoor ponds that are illuminated using natural sunllght.

Recent R&D Model Results on an Improved SSC Dipole Magnet

Description: Models of the 6.6T, 40 mm bore dipole magnet for the SSC have been built in 1-m and 4.5 m lengths; recently, full length 17 m models have been built. These models use a 3-wedge cross section and stainless steel collars. Recent R and D results at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory aimed at improvements in current density and field uniformity are described; a 4-wedge cross section has been tested. Also, progress has been made toward elimination of magnet training and understanding of internal coil stre… more

Dynamic Devices: Pickups and Pickers

Description: A large proportion of the dynamic devices used to interact with the charged-particle beams in accelerators or storage rings can be classified as pickups or kickers. These devices act through time-varying electromagnetic fields either to extract information about the particle's motion or to effect a change in that motion. A given configuration of electrodes may be used either as a pickup or as a kicker; that duality will be addressed in this paper. An example of a simple electrode is the loop an… more

Moisture Transport in Silica Gel Particle Beds: I. Theoretical Study

Description: Diffusion mechanisms of moisture within silica gel particles are investigated. It is found that for microporous silica gel surface diffusion is the dominant mechanism of moisture transport, while for macroporous silica gel both Knudsen and surface diffusion are important.

Conceptual Design of A 1-2 GeV Synchroton Radiation Source

Description: A description is presented of the conceptual design of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory 1-2 GeV Synchrotron Radiation Source, which is designed to produce ultraviolet and soft x-ray radiation. The facility consists of an injection system (linac plus booster synchrotron), a low emittance storage ring optimized at 1.5 GeV, several insertion devices (wigglers and undulators) located in the storage ring straight sections, and beam lines from the insertion devices and bending magnets. Storage ring p… more

Moisture Transport in Silica Gel Packed Beds: II. Experimental Study

Description: Experiments have been performed to obtain the transient response of a thin adiabatic packed bed of silica gel after a step change in inlet air conditions, comparisons are made with predictions using a solid-side resistance model and a pseudo-gas-side controlled model and better agreement obtained with the former model.

Construction and testing of the Mirror Fusion Test Facility magnets

Description: This paper describes the construction and testing of the Mirror Fusion Test Facility superconducting magnet set. Construction of the first Yin Yang magnet was started in 1978. And although this particular magnet was later modified, the final construction of these magnets was not completed until 1985. When completed these 42 magnets weighed over 1200 tonnes and had a maximum stored energy of approximately 1200 MJ at full field. Together with power supplies, controls and liquid nitrogen radiation… more

Physics of antimatter-matter reactions for interstellar propulsion

Description: At the stage of the antiproton-nucleon annihilation chain of events relevant to propulsion the annihilation produces energetic charged pions and gamma rays. If annihilation occurs in a complex nucleus, protons, neutrons, and other nuclear fragments are also produced. The charge, number, and energy of the annihilation products are such that annihilation rocket engine concepts involving relatively low specific impulse (I/sub sp/ approx. = 1000 to 2000 s) and very high I/sub sp/ (3 x 10/sup 7/ s) … more

Calculation of three-dimensional MHD equilibria with islands and stochastic regions

Description: A three-dimensional MHD equilibrium code is described that does not assume the existence of good surfaces. Given an initial guess for the magnetic field, the code proceeds by calculating the pressure-driven current and then by updating the field using Ampere's law. The numerical algorithm to solve the magnetic differential equation for the pressure-driven current is described, and demonstrated for model fields having islands and stochastic regions. The numerical algorithm which solves Ampere's … more

Nuclear alkali metal Rankine power systems for space applications

Description: Nucler power systems utilizing alkali metal Rankine power conversion cycles offer the potential for high efficiency, lightweight space power plants. Conceptual design studies are being carried out for both direct and indirect cycle systems for steady state space power applications. A computational model has been developed for calculating the performance, size, and weight of these systems over a wide range of design parameters. The model is described briefly and results from parametric design st… more

Feasibility of laser pumping with neutron fluxes from present-day large tokamaks

Description: The minimum fusion-neutron flux needed to observe nuclear-pumped lasing with tokamaks can be reduced substantially by optimizing neutron scattering into the laser cell, located between adjacent toroidal-field coils. The laser lines most readily pumped are probably the /sup 3/He-Ne lines at 0.633 ..mu.. and in the infrared, where the /sup 3/He-Ne gas is excited by energetic ions produced in the /sup 3/He(n,p)T reaction. These lines are expected to lase at the levels of D-T neutron flux foreseen … more
