Irradiation of Powder Metallurgy Plates (open access)

Irradiation of Powder Metallurgy Plates

From abstract: "Four plates of uranium that were fabricated by powder metallurgy techniques and clad with 1100 aluminum by hot pressing were irradiated in the Materials Testing Reactor. Increases of about one-half per cent in length and one per cent in thickness were observed after exposure of 1600 megawatt days per ton. The surfaces of the plates remained smooth."

Injection Trajectories and Beam Matching for the Cambridge Electron Accelerator (open access)

Injection Trajectories and Beam Matching for the Cambridge Electron Accelerator

"ABS>Injection trajectories were calculated for different injection conditions for the Cambridge Electron Accelerator, considering also the effect of magnetic fringing fields. The general problem of matching the emittance of the linac to the acceptance of the synchrotron in the transversal phase space is considered, and it is shown that this can be done by a set of two quadrupole lenses. In order to eliminate rudial betatron oscillations due to energy deviations of the injected particles, a pulsed electric quadrupole lens in the synchrotron in combination with two deflectors between linac and synchrotron can be used to place particles of different energies on their specific equilibrium orbits. A layout of the whole injection system following the output of the linac is given."
