Intensity of Upward Muon Flux Due to Cosmic-Ray Neutrinos Produced in the Atmosphere

Description: Calculations were performed to determine the upward going muon flux leaving the earth's surface after production by cosmic-ray neutrinos in the crust. Only neutrinos produced in the earth's atmosphere are considered. Rates of the order of one per 100 sq m/day might be expected if an intermediate boson exists and has a mass less than 2 Bev. (auth)

TECHNIQUES FOR ANALYZING NONSTATIONARY VIBRATION DATA

Description: Methods are described and discussed, from a general viewpoint, for analyzing data on non-stationary vibrations. The analysis must take into account both frequency and time as variables, so the methods used are complex and voluminous. The case is also considered in which the vibrations are non- stationary but repetitive. The application of the methods discussed in analysis of missile-vibration problems is outlined. (T.F.H.)

The Crosscorrelation Method of Measuring System Dynamic Response

Description: The basic relations of the crosscorrelation method are presented; and variations of the method for dealing with practical cases for which the idealized relations are inaccurate due to finite experiment length, finite bandwidth of the input signal, and uncorrelated noise in the system response signal are discussed and demonstrated. (D.C.W.)

Shield Small Source Experiments. Summary Report

Description: A shielding experiment was performed that provided a proof test of the shield calculation methods used in the MCR shield desing and provides a partial confirmation of cross-section data. Measurements were made with a gamma spectrometer behind a configuration consisting of a layer of gamma shielding material followed by a neutron shield, with the configuration exposed to neutrons from a Po --Be source. The test configuration is illustrated. Secondary gamma rays produced in the assembly were meas… more

An Evaluation of the Substitution of Zircaloy for Stainless Steel in n.s. Savannah Fuel-Element Containers. Summary Report

Description: The possibility of reducing fuel-cycle costs for the N.S. SAVANNAH by replacing the stainless steel fuelelement containers in the permanent reactor core structure by similar containers of a zirconium alloy was investigated. These containers, although not integral parts of the fuel-bearing components, are located within the active core and divide the core into 32 separate channels into which the fuel elements are placed. Areas of investigation included reactor physics, fuel-cycle economics, mate… more

Physical Limitations on the Measurement of Transient Fields in Air and in Dissipative Media Using Electric and Magnetic Probes

Description: The properties of electric and magnetic probes for the measurement of transient electromagnetic fields in air and in dissipative media are discussed briefly, It is shown that the effective height of an electrically small loop is independent of the ambient medium. This is also virtually true for a thin electrically short dipole (or monopole). If the open-circuit voltage of a magnetic probe can be measured accurately, it is possible (in principle) to reconstruct the time history of the incident m… more

Nonlinear Vibration

Description: Nonlinear vibration is discussed and compared with linear vibration. Nonlinear vibration phenomena are described, and methods for testing a nonlinear system, collecting and analyzing the data, and interpreting the results are suggested. (D.L.C.)
