Cloud-Chamber Effect in Large Explosions

Description: Report discussing the atmospheric conditions under which a cloud of water droplets will form when an atomic bomb or a large amount of TNT is detonated. A theoretical discussion of the conditions is presented followed by a discussion of two experimental verifications of the theory, including the July 16, 1945 nuclear test at the Trinity site in New Mexico.

An Experimental Study Of The Direct And Indirect Effects Produced By X-Ray Irradiation And By Radioactive Isotopes, With Special Reference To The Protective Role Of The Spleen : Final Report, SRI Project No. R-338

Description: Because of unanswered questions involved in half-body radiation, experimental results were inconclusive as to whether the spleen affords any protection to an x-irradiated rat, although there is some suggestion that the rat's spleen does not give the protection found in mice. The series of experiments on other possible protective mechanisms did not reveal results bearing on the effects of x-irradiation.

Development of a Dilatometer for Temperatures 1000° to 2500°

Description: A high temperature dilatometer has been constructed which is designed to measure the thermal expansion of materials in a vacuum between 1000° and 2500°C. These limited may be expanded if necessary. This precision equipment in conjunction with the high temperature X-ray camera should enable use to extend out knowledge of the thermal expansion properties of refractory materials 1000°C.

A 704 Program for Computing Thermal Neutron Spectra in Infinite Homogenous Media

Description: A flexible program has been prepared for solution of the neutron balance equation in an infinite homogeneous medium. This program is specifically designed for studying the effects of varying the energy transfer kernel on the resultant neutron spectrum. A rapidly converging iterative procedure is employed. The equation to be solved and the specific input information required by the program in order to compute spectra are explicitly stated. No discussion of the physics of the problem is given.

Review of the Surface Interaction Theory of Rearrangement and Inelastic Collisions

Description: Deuteron reactions assumed new importance when it was found that the angular distribution of the outgoing particles in d-p and d-n reactions displayed a great deal of structure. Bhatia, Huang, and Butler showed that the structures of the angular distribution of the outgoing particles in d-p and d-n reactions is directly related to the angular momentum of the captured particle. Early studies of deuteron stripping fractions were reviewed and summarized by R. Huby. Additional work was reviewed, an… more

The B11 (alpha,n) N14 Reaction

Description: He/sup +/ ions from the large Los Alamos electrostatic accelerator were used to bombard thin B/sup 11/ targets, and the resulting neutron spectra were measured by a time-of-flight method. The absolute zero-degree differential cross section was obtained for the B/sup 11/( alpha ,n/sub 0/)N/sup 14/ reaction for the alpha-particle energy range from 1.9 to 6.9 Mev, the B/sup 11/( alpha ,n/sub 2/)N/sup 14*/ reaction from 3.5 to 6.9 Mev, and the B/sup 11/( alpha ,n/sub 2/)N/ sup 14*/ reaction from 5.… more

Effect of R.F. System on Betatron Oscillations

Description: The change in betatron frequency due to the focusing action of the radiofrequency cavities is calculated. It is found that at injection the fractional change in radial betatron frequency for particles with small phase oscillations is given by -0.025V, where V is the maximum r-f voltage per turn in Mev. There is an equal and opposite change in the vertical betatron frequency. Also it is proven, in a general manner, that the damping rate of the betatron oscillations is independent of the nature o… more
