Brookhaven FSD System Status -- First 1000 Events

Description: The performance of the Fast Data Digitizer (FSD) (Hough-Powell flying-spot digitizer) for bubble chamber data analysis system is discussed. A measurement rate of about 70 events/hr was attained, and a two-pass rejection ratio of about 10% appears feasible. Also the possibility has arisen that the 7094 can take over MANUAL FILTER, which is now inhibiting the count rate. An error in range measurements also appeared. Further studies on bubble density measurement and other topics are also discusse… more

A Summary of the Cosmotron Experiments on the Coherent Vertical Instability

Description: Coherent vertical betatron oscillations leading to beam losses were identified in the Cosmotron. The intensity dependence of the oscillation growth rate and the dependence of the oscillation frequency on intensity and radius were investigated. Evidence for a radial instability was also obtained. Recently the vertical instability was successfully damped by electronic circuits.

Characteristics of a Digitized Discharge Hodoscope

Description: Digitized discharge planes have been studied to determine their utility in high energy hodoscope experiments. One plane consists of a 6 x 6 in. frame covered on one side with a conducting sheet and on the other with 64 parallel wires. The thin enclosed volume is filled with a neon-helium-alcohol mixture. Each wire passes through a ferrite memory core to ground. The conducting sheet is pulsed to a high volage, in the manner of spark chambers, after passage of an ionizing particle. three such pl… more

The Radiolysis and Pyrolysis of Several Polyaromatic Compounds

Description: The radiolysis of several polyaromatic compounds which might be used as coolant material in a reactor was investigated using both gamma and reactor radiation. The compounds selected were naphthalene, anthracene, naphthacene, pyrene, phenanthrene, 1, 2 benzanthracene, chrysene, triphenylene, 9, 10 dihydrophenanthrene, phenazine, 7, 8, benzoquinoline and m-phenanthroline, in addition to the uncondensed ring compounds, biphenyl, ortho, meta and para terphenyl and bibenzyl. Gas yields, percentage d… more

Reflections on Pools

Description: A pool of material in steady-state turnover is a collection of identical molecules from which deletions are made at a constant rate, along with simultaneous addition of new identical molecules at the same rate, the total pool size remaining unchanged. It is of interest to consider what may be expected in the way of such pools among the various chemical species which can be isolated from biological systems. It is clear what the model requires, i.e. any molecule belonging to the pool must have as… more

A Time-Shared Computer Data Collection System at the Brookhaven Graphite Research Reactor

Description: The increasing complexity of the data of nuclear physics has led to widespread interest in the possibility of utilizing a digital computer for on-line data collection. Through the combined efforts of the Instrumentation Division and the Neutron Physics group at Brookhaven such a system has been placed into operation. Several features of this system are believed to be unique and of interest to research groups centered about a major facility like a reactor or an accelerator.

Perturbation Techniques for the Deflecting Mode

Description: The descriptive parameters of a waveguide with smooth or periodic structure are most easily measured in a waveguide section of suitable length which is transformed into a resonant cavity by placing short circuits at both ends. Measurements of dispersion diagram, phase velocity, group velocity, voltage attenuation coefficient, shunt impedance, field configuration, etc. all involve some form of perturbation technique. The introduction of a perturbing object in a resonant cavity changes the stored… more

Automatic Bubble Density Measurement with the Hough-Powell System

Description: The Brookhaven Bubble Chamber Group is developing a Hough-Powell fast analysis system (HPD)1 for bubble chamber photographs. High precision measurements are made with a computer controlled flying spot digitizer. We are currently testing the track selection programs for the system. We have just completed a study of a method for automatic bubble density measurements.

The Nature of the Hydrogen Bond in the Bifluoride Ion

Description: We undertook the present diffraction study of the bifluoride ion in sodium acid fluoride and the present refinement of the earlier data on potassium acid fluoride with the hope of obtaining more accurate information not only on the position of the hydrogen atom, but also on the vibrations of the ion. We felt that it would be through the combination of information on the motions of the system from diffraction and spectroscopic studies that the question of the symmetry of the ion could be settled… more

Lens Opacification in Mice Exposed to Monoenergetic Fast Neutrons

Description: Early effects obtained with monoenergetic fast neutrons in mice have been described elsewhere. Emphasis in this report will be placed on the late effects of lens opacification (cataractogenesis), particularly during the period soon after irradiation with low or fractionated doses of neutrons at two energy levels, or X-rays. Considerations will also be given to the influence of age at time of irradiation upon the induction of lens opacities. Both studies are continuing, with periodic slit-lamp m… more
