D{O} results on searches for the top quark

Description: We have performed a search for creation of the top quark in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 GeV at Tevatron, Fermilab. t{bar t} production followed by top decay to W + b quark is assumed. We have searched for the decay channels with both W`s decaying leptonically, and with one W decay to an electron and the other to quarks. A preliminary report on the status of one interesting event is presented. By combining the results from the ee and e{mu} channels a lower top mass limit of 99 GeV on… more

Analysis of neon soft x-ray spectra from short-pulse laser-produced plasmas

Description: We report preliminary results from the analysis of streaked soft x-ray neon spectra obtained from the interaction of a picosecond Nd:glass laser with a gas jet target. In these experiments streaked spectra show prompt harmonic emission followed by longer time duration soft x-ray line emission. The majority of the line emission observed was found to originate from Li- and Be-like Ne and the major transitions in the observed spectra have been identified. Li-like emission lines were observed to de… more

Comparison of a constraint directed search to a genetic algorithm in a scheduling application

Description: Scheduling plutonium containers for blending is a time-intensive operation. Several constraints must be taken into account; including the number of containers in a dissolver run, the size of each dissolver run, and the size and target purity of the blended mixture formed from these runs. Two types of algorithms have been used to solve this problem: a constraint directed search and a genetic algorithm. This paper discusses the implementation of these two different approaches to the problem and t… more

Superconducting magnet design for Fixed-Field Alternating-Gradient (FFAG) accelerator

Description: The FFAG accelerator requires static fields that increase with radius along the accelerator midplane according to B = B{sub 0} (R/R{sub 0}){sup 13.4}. The field is generated by equally spaced magnets around the circumference and varies from a maximum of 4.1 T to a minimum of {minus}1.9 T. The general coil design employs cryostable magnets wound with aluminum stabilized superconductor. Each magnet has resistive pole face windings outside of the cryostat to allow for field fine tuning after const… more

Results from the SLD barrel CRID detector

Description: We report on operational experience with and experimental performance of the SLD barrel Cherenkov Ring Imaging Detector from the 1992 and 1993 physics runs. The liquid (C{sub 6}F{sub 14}) and gas (C{sub 5}F{sub 12}) radiator recirculation systems have performed well, and the drift gas supply system has operated successfully with TMAE for three years. Cherenkov rings have been observed from both the liquid and gas radiators. The number and angular resolution of Cherenkov photons have been measur… more

Scintillating glass fiber neutron sensors: 1, Production and optical characterization

Description: The production and optical characterization of cerium-doped lithium silicate scintillating fibers used as thermal neutron detectors are discussed. The bulk glass continuing enriched {sup 6}Li is produced starting from high-purity commercial materials which are further purified at Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL). The fibers are drawn at PNL in a hot down-draw process. The fibers are coated with a silicone polymer that serves as both an optical cladding and a physical buffer coat. Optical char… more

Scintillating glass fiber neutron sensors: 2, Light transmission in scintillating fibers

Description: The capture and transmission of light from an event through a scintillating fiber is somewhat different than in conventional optical waveguide applications. A theoretical all-ray model that depends on surface and bulk loss factors is developed for this transmission. The capture fraction can be significantly greater than that predicted on the basis of meridional rays alone and the gross loss is nonexponential for short distances (less than or of the order of one 1/e distance). The latter phenome… more

Scintillating glass fiber neutron sensors: 3, Photon economy in scintillating fibers

Description: In an optical detector such as those constructed from scintillating glass fibers, the photons represent information. This study of the flow of information in a system of devices using PNL glass fibers was undertaken in order to resolve the conflict between expected and observed peak heights. This work concentrates on the number of photons produced and the fraction of photons trapped. It is found that the number of photons produced in bulk samples of the standard glass is about one-third that ex… more

Development of an electrochemical hydrogen separator

Description: The EHS is an electrochemical hydrogen separator based on the uniquely reversible nature of hydrogen oxidation-reduction reactions in electrochemical systems. The principle and the hardware concept are shown in Figure 1. Hydrogen from the mixed gas stream is oxidized to H{sup +} ions, transported through a cation transport electrolyte membrane (matrix) under an applied electric field and discharged in a pure hydrogen state on the cathode. The cation transfer electrolyte membrane provides a barr… more

Non-local transport in a tokamak plasma divertor with recycling

Description: The plasma transport, particle and energy fluxes, near the diverter plate with high recycling has been modeled by using an electron kinetic code (Fokker-Planck International) in conjunction with a two-fluid ambipolar code. We include the effects of ionization and excitation of the hydrogen atoms. The electron energy distribution calculated from the kinetic code shows a large deviation from Maxwellian especially near the plate. This deviation from Maxwellian is due to the non-local transport of … more

Thermal and flow considerations for the 80 K shield of the SSC magnet cryostats

Description: The nominal temperatures in the SSC cryostat range between 4.2 K in the superconducting magnet and 300 K on the cryostat outer wall. To minimize the 4 K heat load, a thermal shield cooled by liquid and vapor nitrogen flows at 84 K and one a 20 K cooled by helium flow are incorporated in the cryostat. Tubes attached to the shields serve as conduits for cryogens. The liquid nitrogen tube in the cryostat is used for cryostat refrigeration and also for liquid distribution around the SSC rings.

Multidimensional solitons in fiber arrays

Description: We demonstrate that nonlinear optical fiber arrays can support stable soliton-like pulses with finite energy. The bound state that we have found is localized both in time and in a spatial domain in the direction perpendicular to the pulse propagation. We have proved the boundedness of the Hamiltonian function for the array. Finally, numerical studies support our analytical conclusions.

New high-level waste management technology for IFR pyroprocessing wastes

Description: The pyrochemical electrorefining process for recovery of actinides in spent fuel from the Integral Fast Reactor accumulates fission product wastes as chlorides dissolved in molten LiCI-KCI and as metals, some of which are in molten cadmium. Pyrochemical processes are being developed to recover uranium and transuranium elements for return to the reactor, and to separate and immobilize fission products in suitable waste forms. Solvent cadmium is recycled within the process. Electrolyte salt is tr… more

Partition of actinides and fission products between metal and molten salt phases: Theory, measurement, and application to IFR pyroprocess development

Description: The chemical basis of Integral Fast Reactor fuel reprocessing (pyroprocessing) is partition of fuel, cladding, and fission product elements between molten LiCl-KCl and either a solid metal phase or a liquid cadmium phase. The partition reactions are described herein, and the thermodynamic basis for predicting distributions of actinides and fission products in the pyroprocess is discussed. The critical role of metal-phase activity coefficients, especially those of rare earth and the transuranic … more
