Elastic p-/sup 4/He scattering near 1 GeV

Description: New 1.029 GeV p-/sup 4/He data from an Argonne-UCLA-Minnesota collaboration are in excellent agreement with existing multiple diffraction theory predictions. The theoretical calculation includes spin and isospin dependence of the ..delta.. intermediate state process that fills the first diffraction minimum. The recently normalized Saclay data and the older Brookhaven data disagree with our calculation and the new data.

Directional growth of pearlite in iron--carbon eutectoid alloys. [Rate]

Description: Pearlite was transformed directionally by passing a zone of austenite through high purity Fe--C alloy bars of eutectoid composition. Using a small embedded thermocouple, the temperature gradient at both the austenitizing edge and the pearlite transformation edge of the austenitic zone was recorded. A sharp change in gradient occurred due to the change in thermal conductivity between the phases at each interface. The point of change in gradient enabled the temperature of both interfaces to be de… more

Heavy ion inertial fusion: interface between target gain, accelerator phase space and reactor beam transport revisited

Description: Recently revised estimates of target gain have added additional optimistic inputs to the interface between targets, accelerators and fusion chamber beam transport. But it remains valid that neutralization of the beams in the fusion chamber is useful if ion charge state Z > 1 or if > 1 kA per beamlet is to be propagated. Some engineering and economic considerations favor higher currents.

Experimental searches for magnetic monopoles. [Mass, probability, review]

Description: Analysis of the sensitivity of previous negative searches for magnetic monopoles shows that they constitute prior evidence against the monopole interpretation of the event reported as ''evidence for detection of a moving magnetic monopole''. The strength of the evidence varies with the unknown mass of the monopole. For M less than or equal to 10/sup 5/ GeV, odds are greater than 10/sup 6/ : 1 against. For larger masses, the limits depend strongly on assumptions about the range of monopoles and … more

Some alternatives to the mixed oxide fuel cycle

Description: While on initial examination each of the six fuel cycle concepts (tandem cycle, extended burnup, fuel rejuvenation, coprocessing, partial reprocessing, and thorium) described in the report may have some potential for improving safeguards, none of the six appears to have any other major or compelling advantages over the mixed oxide (MOX) fuel cycle. Compared to the MOX cycle, all but coprocessing appear to have major disadvantages, including severe cost penalties. Three of the concepts-tandem, e… more

Collisional effects on trapped electron instabilities

Description: The effects of collisions on dissipative trapped electron instabilities are evaluated by distinguishing between the perpendicular and parallel electron velocity components when calculating trapped and untrapped electron contributions. The growth rate is obtained for all regimes of collisionality and reduces to previous results in appropriate limits. We show that the dominant effect of finite collisionality is to determine the number of trapped and untrapped electrons and that collisional broade… more

Search for the top quark in electron-muon events with CDF

Description: The CDF detector has collected data for an integrated luminosity of 4.4 pb{sup {minus}1} during the 1988--89 Tevatron Collider run. This sample has been used to search for the top quark. We report here the results of the analysis of the electron-muon topology. We find that a top mass in the 28 to 72 GeV is excluded at the 95% confidence level. The same limits apply to a possible fourth generation, charge {minus}1/3, b{prime} quark decaying via the charged current. 21 refs., 14 figs.

Photo-induced cataphoretic isotope separation. Progress report, June 15, 1976--June 14, 1977. [Monoisotope light sources]

Description: Initial results of studies of the feasibility of radiation-induced cataphoretic segregation of isotopes are summarized. More detailed feasibility calculations show that significant isotope separation efficiencies can be obtained for discharges at low pressure. This may make it desirable to use a buffer gas in the discharge in order to manipulate the electron energy distribution. Requirements for the properties of the buffer gas have been established. The experimental system for studying laser-i… more

Microinstabilities in Complex Magnetic Field Geometries and High- Beta. Sheared Sheath Structure. Progress Report, June 1, 1975--February 27, 1976

Description: A new approach for the solution of the Vlasov equation for complex magnetic field geometries has been developed using operator techniques. The general approach is illustrated by determining the perturbed distribution function and density operator for the problem of shear stabilization of drift waves for transverse and arbitrary directions of propagation. The ensuing corrections to stability criteria of current theories are obtained for certain domains of physical parameters. Preliminary work on… more

Transient response of three-layered rings

Description: Hamilton's principle is used to derive equations of motion for a linear elastic three-layered ring. The theory includes the effects of shear deformation and rotatory inertia in each layer and radial strain effects in the middle layer. A convenient computational technique is developed for transient response evaluation without resorting to finite-difference or finite-element approximations. A companion experimental study was conducted using three different rings. All rings had aluminum inner and … more

Transport in compact tori

Description: The parameter B/sub e//nr/sub p/ (here, B/sub e/ is applied magnetic field strength, nr/sub p/ is the plasma density-radius product) is proposed as a key parameter for spheromak heating studies. If B/sub e//nr/sub p/ is too large, increased magnetic fluctuations limit heating; low B/sub e//nr/sub p/ value results in excessive radiation losses. An optimum range appears to be B/sub e//nr/sub p/ approx. 1 to 5 x 10/sup -20/ Wb.
