Two Lectures on the Magnetic Scattering of Neutrons

Description: In these lectures we will discuss some examples of information about magnetic properties of solids which can be obtained by neutron scattering. We consider a scattering process in which a neutron with wave vector k and spin σ is incident upon a solid in state q>. (Here q stands for all of the quantum numbers which describe the state of the solid, such as spin and orbital electronic states, phonon numbers, etc.) After interacting with the solid, the neutron goes off with wave-vector k' and spin … more

Dose-survival Curves for HeLa Cell Cultures Using Thermal Neutrons and the B10 (n,α)Li7 Reaction

Description: The biological evaluation of the thermal neutron capture reaction of boron-10, B10 (n,α)Li7 + 2.786 MeV, has previously been studied, using different particles from the boron-10 thermal neutron capture reaction compared with 250 kvp x-rays has been reported as 1.05 for spleen-thymic weight reduction (1), as 1.5 to 2.0 for skin lesions in pigs (2), and 1.87 for skin lesions of the rabbit's ear (3). The significance of such a calculation is felt to be unreliable for the boron-10 reaction in anima… more

Biological Effects of Thermal Neutrons and the B10 (n,c) Li7 Reaction

Description: Boron-10 has a high thermal neutron capture cross section (3880 barns). Following neutron capture, the subsequent nuclear disintegration produces an alpha particle and a lithium-7 nucleus with the release of an average of 2.34 MeV for the particle irradiation, and in 93% of the reactions there is also the emission of an 0.48 MeV gamma ray: [equation not transcribed]. The kinetic energy is divided between the lithium-7 nucleus and the alpha particle giving the equal and opposite momentums with a… more

The Use of Activated Charcoal Iodine Monitors During and Following a Release of Fission Product Iodines

Description: The present core of the Brookhaven Graphite Reactor consists of some 4900 highly enriched uranium fuel loaded in 615 horizontal fuel channels passing through a 25 foot cube of graphite moderator and reflector. The core is divided into two halves (north and south) by an 8 cm. wide vertical gap in the center of the graphite. The cooling air enters the reactor through inlet filters, at the rate of 270,000 CFM, passes into the central gap and flows bi-directionally through the north and south halve… more

Correlation of Kinetic Isotope Effects with Chemical Bonding in Three Center Reactions

Description: We consider the kinetic isotope effect in three center reactions of the type of A+BC→AB+C. Such model calculations are a good approximation to primary hydrogen isotope effects. For abstraction or transfer reactions, B becomes H, D, or T. The dynamics of the three storm system are calculated for a general quadratic potential, with the assumption that the potential energy is constant along the reaction coordinate (flat top barrier). This model system can be calculated in detail and serves to illu… more

Effects of Irradiation on the Optical Absorption and Photoconductivity of Rutile

Description: Optical absorption and photoconductivity measurements have been made on single crystals of pure synthetic rutile (TiO2). Reactor irradiations at 70°C totaling 4.8 x 10 18 nvt fast and 1.69 x10 19 nvt slow did not produce any discernible optical absorption bands; however, the transmission decreased 5 percent at all wavelengths. Reactor irradiation induced a [illegible] five photoconduction peaks in the wavelength range 4200 to 14,000 A. In addition the photopeak at 4065 A (3.05 eV) was enhanced … more

General Operation and Construction Features of the Undercarriage System for the 80-inch Bubble Chamber

Description: The undercarriage system is required for translating, rotating, and lifting the 450 ton magnet and bubble chamber assemblies so that it can be accurately positioned in the experimental proton beam of the synchrotron. The system must make provision for the two magnet sections to be separated for the purpose of adjustment and maintenance of internal components.

Some Considerations on the Configuration and Stability of the H2 Temperature Control Loops of the 80" Bubble Chamber

Description: There is but little known about the thermal process involving the dynamics and thermodynamics of the cycling liquid H2 in the chamber and those of the H2 fluid flow in the cooling coil as well as the geometrical characteristics of the chamber body. This the physical equations governing this process are involving so many variables that this analysis becomes rather complex even if simplifying assumptions are made. To those difficulties is added the ignorance even of an approximative expression fo… more

Design Consideration for 80" Bubble Chamber

Description: The following general description of the theory and operation of a bubble chamber is presented so that firms who are interested in fabricating components for the Brookhaven 80" chamber will have a better understanding of the design parameters associated with it. This understanding, coupled with the fabricator's knowledge of manufacturing techniques, should enable the fabricators to suggest solutions to manufacturing problems consistent with requirements for chamber operation. In an effort to in… more

80" Bubble Chamber Expansion System Preliminary Operating Procedures

Description: These procedures are intended to be used for the initial operation of the expansion system and serve as a basis for a more complete and revised form to be written once operating experience has been gained. An attempt has been made to offer a logical and systematic presentation to facilitate operation and maintenance of the system by the operating personnel. Thus, the sequence of valve actuations has been presented in matrix and check list form to minimize errors; this also has the advantage of … more

General Description of the 80" Bubble Chamber Refrigeration System

Description: Reliability of individual components and the ability to produce refrigeration even if one or two of these components should be in operable are the prime design parameters of this cycle. Each component was looked at with these two parameters in mind and any item that had obvious objections was either rejected or backed up with another piece of equipment. Along this line, you will notice (refer to line schematic) two hydrogen compressors and two nitrogen compressors; for full capacity all are req… more

Magnet Coils Detailed Conductor Design

Description: On the basis of measurements made upon analogues of the proposed magnet, it was decided that the distribution of ampere-turns between the two exciting coils should be in a ratio of about 1:33:1. This distribution is expected to minimize the variation of the magnetic field intensity over the depth. of the chamber. Simplicity of construction demands that there be an integral number of turns in each layer of conductors. If no water connections are to be made at the inside of the coils, each coil m… more

80" Bubble Chamber Expansion System Summary of Piston Motion Studies

Description: Prior to assembly into the 80" bubble chamber, the expansion system was subjected to a series of tests to check piston dynamics and gain information on the reliability of the various components. Furthermore, the rest provided operating personnel with the opportunity to become familiar with the operation and maintenance of the expansion system. Two separate tests were performed with the apparatus that was located at the north end of the AGS experimental area; one during the week of Oct. 15 and t… more
