Avant-Garde Techniques in the Organ Works of György Ligeti, a Lecture Recital, Together with Three Recitals of Selected Works of J. Alain, J.S. Bach, W.A. Mozart, M. Reger, and Others

The Two Etudes: "Harmonies," and "Coulée" and the Volumina of Ligeti were performed following a lecture on avant-garde techniques in organ works of György Ligeti. The lecture included a brief discussion of earlier twentieth century antecedents of new sound materials and concepts, a biographical sketch of Ligeti and general style features of his works. The main body of the lecture included notational methods, specific style features, and performing scores of Ligeti's three organ works. In addition to the lecture recitals three other public recitals were performed which consisted of solo compositions for the organ.

Electrode design and performance of the ORNL positive ion sources (open access)

Electrode design and performance of the ORNL positive ion sources

The neutral beam development group at ORNL has designed, constructed, and shipped four 50-kV, 100-A sources to PPPL to be used for neutral beam heating of the confined plasma on the PDX tokamak. These sources have higher current capability than scaled-down sources, and they are required to run for 0.5 s as opposed to the 0.3-s requirement for PLT and ISX-B sources. Due to an innovative electrode design, these higher power sources met these requirements and achieved a higher transmission efficiency - 76% of the total input power on target vs 60% for the original ISX-B and modified PLT sources or 40% for the original PLT sources. As a consequence, a power of 2 MW of neutrals to the torus target was achieved; this is a record for measured neutral power and exceeds that of any other power source expected to be used on such advanced tokamaks as TFTR and D-III. A theoretical consideration of the relevant Poisson-Vlasov equations for ions extracted from a plasma was used to optimize the ion optics. Using the same electrode design with a tetraode accelerating structure and a new, indirectly heated cathode, repeatable long pulse, high energy conditions of 70 kV, 7 A, 8 …

Recent developments in nuclear reaction theories and calculations (open access)

Recent developments in nuclear reaction theories and calculations

A brief review is given of some recent developments in the fields of optical model potentials; level densities; and statistical model, precompound, and direct reaction codes and calculations. Significant developments have occurred in all of these fields since the 1977 Conference on Neutron Cross Sections, which will greatly enhance the ability to calculate high-energy neutron-induced reaction cross sections in the next few years. 11 figures, 3 tables.

Study of gamma-ray strength functions (open access)

Study of gamma-ray strength functions

The use of gamma-ray strength function systematics to calculate neutron capture cross sections and capture gamma-ray spectra is discussed. The ratio of the average capture width, GAMMA/sub ..gamma../-bar, to the average level spacing, D/sub obs/, both at the neutron separation energy, can be derived from such systematics with much less uncertainty than from separate systematics for values of GAMMA/sub ..gamma../-bar and D/sub obs/. In particular, the E1 gamma-ray strength function is defined in terms of the giant dipole resonance (GDR). The GDR line shape is modeled with the usual Lorentzian function and also with a new energy-dependent, Breit-Wigner (EDBW) function. This latter form is further parameterized in terms of two overlapping resonances, even for nuclei where photonuclear measurements do not resolve two peaks. In the mass ranges studied, such modeling is successful for all nuclei away from the N = 50 closed neutron shell. Near the N = 50 shell, a one-peak EDBW appears to be more appropriate. Examples of calculated neutron capture excitation functions and capture gamma-ray spectra using the EDBW form are given for target nuclei in the mass-90 region and also in the Ta-Au mass region. 20 figures.

Results of the fourth Hanna field test (open access)

Results of the fourth Hanna field test

The second phase (Hanna IVB) of a coal gasification experiment near Hanna, Wyoming, was completed in September 1979. The experiment attempted to link and gasify coal between process wells spaced 34.3 meters apart. Intermediate wells were positioned between the process wells so that the link could be relayed over shorter distances. Reverse combustion linking was attempted over a 22.9-meter and a 11.4-meter distance of the total well spacing. Thermal activity was generally noted in the upper 3 meters of the coal seam during the link. Two attempts to gasify over the 34.3-meter distance resulted in the propagation of the burn front at the coal overburden interface. Post-burn evaluation indicates fractures as major influencing factors of the combustion process. The Hanna IVB field test provided much insight into influence that geologic features have on in situ coal combustion. The influence of these faults, permeable zones, and cleats, on the air flow patterns can drastically change the overall results of a gasification experiment and should be studied further. The overall results of Hanna IVB were discouraging because of the rapid decline in the heating values for the production gas and the amount of coal gasified. With more complete geologic characerization prior to …

Improvement of sputtered oxide coating adherence and integrity for turbine airfoil applications. Combustion zone durability program. Task III: dense surface sputtered ceramic coatings. Annual technical progress report, October 1, 1978-September 30, 1979 (open access)

Improvement of sputtered oxide coating adherence and integrity for turbine airfoil applications. Combustion zone durability program. Task III: dense surface sputtered ceramic coatings. Annual technical progress report, October 1, 1978-September 30, 1979

Two aspects of the durability of modified ZrO/sub 2/ ceramic thermal barrier coatings for gas turbine airfoils are being investigated in this program. First, adherence of coatings of these materials has historically been difficult to achieve due to mismatch in thermal expansion coefficients and other properties between ceramic coatings and metallic substrates. Second, if the ceramic coatings are discontinuous, as for many plasma sprayed coatings, then condensate from the combustion environment may permeate the coating and volume changes in this condensate during subsequent service cycles may produce coating spallation. The adherence problem was approached by seeking to sputter deposit ceramic coatings over either sputter-etched, closely spaced, high aspect ratio substrate surface cones or by sputter depositing ceramic coatings over sputtered CoCrAlY coatings containing a very high density of columnar voids (leaders). The objective in both instances was to provide a compliant fibrous metal attachment between metal substrate and ceramic coating to absorb property mismatches. The permeability problem was approached both by coating a segmented (fibrous columnar) ceramic layer with a continuous and impervious metal sealing layer that is not required to provide structural strength or insulation, and by coating the segmented ceramic layer with a continuous layer of the same …

EVOLUTION OF PROJECTILE DOUBLE K VACANCY FRACTIONS WITH TARGET THICKNESS IN ION-ATOM COLLISIONS (open access)

EVOLUTION OF PROJECTILE DOUBLE K VACANCY FRACTIONS WITH TARGET THICKNESS IN ION-ATOM COLLISIONS

The dependence of projectile double K-vacancy (hypersatellite) x-ray yields on target thickness for ions moving in thin solid targets is examined. For 2.3 MeV/amu Cl ions incident on C foils, the double-to-single K vacancy x-ray yield increases by a factor of 3.5 over the range of thicknesses investigated, reaching values as high as 30%. A quantitative explanation of the observed results is obtained using the three-component model of Gardner et al.

SYSTEMATICS OF TARGET AND PROJECTILE K X-RAY PRODUCTION AND REC FOR 20-80 MeV Cl{sup q+} ION INCIDENT ON 25-200{micro}g/cm{sup 2} Cu TARGETS

A systematic investigation of K x-ray production for 20-80 MeV Cl ions in collision with thin self-supporting Cu targets has been conducted. Target and projectile characteristic x rays and radiative electron capture (REC) have been measured as a function of target thickness for incident charge states q < z{sub 1} - 2. At 80 MeV data were also obtained for q = z{sub 1}- 1. Large enhancements in both characteristic x-ray production and REC were observed for q = z{sub 1}- 1. Measured x-ray yields were parametrized vs. target thickness using the model of Betz et al. and least squares fits to the data were performed. Target K x-ray production for q<z{sub 1}-2 is described reasonably well by the CPSSR + ECR theory. For q=z{sub 1} - 1 the enhancement in the x-ray yield is predicted quite well by the method of Gray et al· The mean fluorescence yield for the highly stripped Cl ions is determined and found to increase by a factor of about six over the range 20-80 MeV, having a value (~0.1) nearly equal to the single K-vacancy value at 20 MeV. The radiative lifetime for the projectile ions is found to be ~3 x 10{sup …

HTGR-GT systems optimization studies (open access)

HTGR-GT systems optimization studies

The compatibility of the inherent features of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) and the closed-cycle gas turbine combined into a power conversion system results in a plant with characteristics consistent with projected utility needs and national energy goals. These characteristics are: (1) plant siting flexibility; (2) high resource utilization; (3) low safety risks; (4) proliferation resistance; and (5) low occupational exposure for operating and maintenance personnel. System design and evaluation studies on dry-cooled intercooled and nonintercooled commercial plants in the 800-MW(e) to 1200-MW(e) size range are described, with emphasis on the sensitivity of plant design objectives to variation of component and plant design parameters. The impact of these parameters on fuel cycle, fission product release, total plant economics, sensitivity to escalation rates, and plant capacity factors is examined.

Status of high energy neutron cross sections

Review is presented of the current status of neutron-induced reactions of interest to the fusion community in the 10- to 50-MeV neutron energy range. Although there has been significant activity in this area since the 1977 BNL Symposium on Neutron Cross Sections from 10 to 40 MeV, this review concludes that there are many areas which require more experimentation to obtain the requested accuracy. Examples of various neutron data obtained since 1977 are presented and compared to determine the extent of agreement. An attempt is made to determine what the prospects are for satisfying the fusion data needs defined by the US DOE based upon progress to date.

FPS-vidicon television camras for ultrafast-scan data acquisition

Two ultrafast-scan (<8 ms/field) television (TV) camera prototypes have been developed for closed-circuit data-acquisition applications. The line and field rates are quasi-continuously adjustable. The number of lines, the integration duty cycle, and the scan direction are among the other adjustable parameters. Typical resolution at the fastest scan rate is >500 TV lines per picture height with a corresponding dynamic range (to light input) of more than 100. The cameras use the unique properties of FPS vidicons and specially designed electronics to achieve their performance levels and versatility. The advantages and disadvantages of FPS vidicons and of antimony trisulfide and silicon target materials in such applications are discussed in detail. All of the electronics circuits are discussed. The sweep generator designs are treated at length because they are the key to the cameras' versatility. Emphasis is placed on remotely controllable analog and digital sweep generators. The latter is a complete CAMAC-compatible subsystem containing a 16-function master arithmetic logic unit. Pulsed and cw methods of obtaining transfer characteristics are described and compared. The effects of generation rates, tube types, and target types on the resolution, determined from contrast-transfer-function curves, are discussed. Several applications are described, including neutron TV pinhole, TREAT, and barium-release …
