The Anatomy of Plasmons

Description: From abstract: "Plamons (plasma-magnetic entities) are toroidal "packages" of plasma wrapped up in their own magnetic field. Experimental evidence for the existence of plasmons is adduced and theoretical considerations concerning their various types and their stability are discussed."

Ionization in Crossed Electric and Magnetic Fields

Description: Both in magnetohydrodynamic shocks and in accelerated partially ionized gas flow across a magnetic field, space charge separation occurs that establishes very large electric fields in the direction of motion. The width of the current layers associated with the acceleration is never less than the electron Larmor radius with no collisions and is broadened by electron collisions to a width solely determined by the effective resistivity. The electrons gain an energy regardless of collisions equal t… more

An Enhanced Magnetic Mirror Machine

Description: Abstract: "A dc magnetic mirror machine has been built and tested by the ARC Research Group. Radiofrequency enhancement has been included in the design through the use of rf plates in the vacuum chamber of the machine. For the proton beams of the order of 1[mu]a, the mirror action has been observed as a function of both the rf voltage and the magnitude of the mirror field relative to the main magnetic field. Current measurements were performed with the aid of a Faraday cup with suitable bias gr… more

The Time-Dependent Neutron Flux for a Pulsed Subcritical Assembly

Description: Report discussing a study regarding the time-dependent neutron flux for a pulsed subcritical assembly. From abstract: "A two-group analysis has been applied to the transient behavior of the thermal flux in a subcritical assembly which has been given a short burst of fast neutrons."

Project Cowboy : Physical Properties of Salt Samples

Description: The purpose of Project Cowboy was to investigate the seismic signals generated by chemical explosions in underground cavities, with particular emphasis on the possibility of decoupling of these signals from the surrounding media. The project site was the Carey Salt Company salt mine, located approximately five miles west of Winnfield, Louisiana. The tests were run during fiscal year 1960. This report presents the results of tests performed on specimens from the samples of salt taken in the area. more

The control of beryllium hazards

Description: From abstract: "The toxicological properties of beryllium and compounds of beryllium are briefly reviewed, together with the historical development of the recommendations for maximum permissible beryllium air concentrations. The application of the enclosure technique presently in use at this laboratory for the control of beryllium hazards is described... Monitoring procedures used to evaluate the performance of enclosures are discussed."

Creep and Relaxation in Metals and Ceramics : A Bibliography, 1950-March 1959

Description: "This is a selected bibliography of books, journal articles and reports published on creep and relaxation in metals and ceramics from 1950 to March 1959. Particular attention has been paid to studies on or applicable to the consideration of creep and relaxation in beryllium oxide. Emphasis has alro been placed on studies of phenomenological materials behavior and high temperature studies."

Possible Applications of Nuclear Energy to the Mining Industry

Description: American Mining Congress 9/24/58. Summary. Results of a recent underground test by the Atomic Energy Commission indicate possible applications of nuclear energy in mining and allied industries. The safety, feasibility and economy of nuclear detonations have been demonstrated and further considerations reveal a number of interesting situations which might lend themselves to the use of this new type of explosive. Possible applications include stripping, crushing, quarrying, and the exploitation … more

Test and Evaluation of Large Magnetic Tape-Wound Cores Used in the Astron Accelerator

Description: Project Sherwood is a nation-wide attempt to produce a controlled thermo-nuclear fusion reaction. The Astron experiment, conceived by Nicholas Christofilos, will utilize the effects of a cylindrical layer of relativistic electrons to contain and heat the plasma. A high quality, 200-ampere, 5-Me V electron beam is required to form the electron layer. The electron beam is produced by a linear induction electron accelerator. Three hundred and thirty-three toroidal cores of magnetic material surrou… more
