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

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

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

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

Hydrogen Refrigerator Design Capacity for 80" Chamber

Description: When the design of the refrigerator was begun, one of the important parameters was refrigeration capacity required. In order to estimate the required hydrogen refrigeration load the following had to be considered: 1. Dynamic Load due to pulsing of the chamber. Although this has been determined some two years ago through test work, it has not been published as of this date and will be presented here. 2. Static losses due to conduction, radiation, and convection. This is covered by Eng. Note BC-0… more

Autoradiographic Study on the Origin and Fate of Small Lymphoid Cells in the Dog Bone Marrow: Effect of Femoral Artery Clamping During in Vivo Availability of Thymidine-H

Description: Mammalian bone marrow contains a considerable number of small lymphoid cells (small lymphocytes and small lymphocyte-like cells). The total number of these cells (50,000 to 500,000 per mm3) depends on species, age and other factors. The origin, function and fate of these cells remain obscure in many respects. In particular, it has not been shown beyond doubt, if and to what extent small lymphoid cells enter the bone marrow via the blood stream or if their origin is in part or entirely within th… more
