EPROM-based LSI-11 for distributed instrumentation control (open access)

EPROM-based LSI-11 for distributed instrumentation control

The LLNL Nuclear Chemistry Counting Facility (NCCF) is being converted to a modern production facility. A computer network has been designed and built to implement this conversion. The outermost node of the computer network is a dedicated EPROM-based controller. The controller handles the details of driving the attached nuclear instrumentation, providing a standard interface to the remainder of the network. This paper addresses the design and the implementation of the dedicated instrumentation controller.

Stability and disturbance of large dc superconducting magnets (open access)

Stability and disturbance of large dc superconducting magnets

This paper addresses the stability aspects of several successful dc superconducting magnets such as large bubble chamber magnets, and magnets for the Mirror Fusion Test Facility and MHD Research Facility. Specifically, it will cover Argonne National Laboratory 12-Foot Bubble Chamber magnets, the 15-foot Bubble Chamber magnets at Fermi National Laboratory, the MFTF-B Magnet System at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the U-25B Bypass MHD Magnet, and the CFFF Superconducting MHD magnet built by Argonne National Laboratory. All of these magnets are cooled in pool-boiling mode. Magnet design is briefly reviewed. Discussed in detail are the adopted stability critera, analyses of stability and disturbance, stability simulation, and the final results of magnet performance and the observed coil disturbances.

Energy-beam processing studies on Ta/U and Ir/Ta systems. [Laser-and electron-beam melting] (open access)

Energy-beam processing studies on Ta/U and Ir/Ta systems. [Laser-and electron-beam melting]

Films of Ta metal on uranium and of Ir metal on tantalum have been irradiated and melted by pulses from Q-switched Ruby and frequency-doubled Nd:YAG lasers to investigate the nature of the resulting mixtures in light of the very different binary-phase diagrams of the two systems. In addition, a two-phase Ir-Ta alloy has been surface-processed with CW CO/sub 2/-laser radiation and with an electron beam in order to study microstructure refinement and test the advantage of using alloys as opposed to film-on-substrate combinations for the development of claddings.

Electrical configuration for magnetic drift pumping on the tandem mirror experiment-upgrade (TMX-U) (open access)

Electrical configuration for magnetic drift pumping on the tandem mirror experiment-upgrade (TMX-U)

Magnetic drift pumping on TMX-U involves driving four antennae through high Q-resonant circuits. One of the key elements in the resonant circuit is a variable inductor able to carry the 3500 amperes through the circuit and maintain its shape and inductance. The eight resonant circuits can be combined to feed the four antennae with one or two frequencies on each antenna, or frequency shift keying between two frequencies. Each resonant circuit is fed by two 10 to 30 kHz exciters capable of delivering 80 kW each to the circuit. Each exciter receives its power from its own adjustable 0 to 400 volt power supply. The entire system is controlled by a CAMAC control system over a fiber-optic link. The control system checks interlock status, controls ''On'' and ''Off'' status, calculates and adjusts phasing of the exciters for addition or deletion of the proper beat frequencies, and monitors operation. 3 refs., 5 figs.

E parallel B end-loss-ion analyzer for the Tandem Mirror Experiment-Upgrade (TMX-U). Revision 1 (open access)

E parallel B end-loss-ion analyzer for the Tandem Mirror Experiment-Upgrade (TMX-U). Revision 1

We have installed a new diagnostic instrument to investigate ions emanating along magnetic-field lines of the TMX-U tandem-mirror experiment. This analyzer contains parallel electric and magnetic fields, which yield ion mass and energy spatial separation. A dual array of 128 copper collector plates detects particles in the ion flux that is first collimated and then focused through the 180-degree bending magnetic field. An electric field applied transverse to the bending particle path then separates the ion masses in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic-pole faces while the magnetic field spreads out the different energies of each mass in a plane parallel to the magnetic-pole tips. The CAMAC-based data recorders are fiber-optically coupled to the system controller for data acquisition, analysis, and display. A commercial CAMAC data recorder was modified for current input. We expect to measure higher particle energies than the present gridded end-loss analyzers as well as to more accurately determine the energy spectra.

Concepts and development of drift pumping for the Tandem Mirror Experiment-Upgrade (TMX-U) (open access)

Concepts and development of drift pumping for the Tandem Mirror Experiment-Upgrade (TMX-U)

Low-energy ions trapped in the thermal barrier region of the TMX-U plasma cause a potential reduction which results in increased scattering and less thermal isolation between regions of the plasma. A method of removing these ions using magnetic field perturbations at the ion drift frequency has been developed. The concepts of ''drift pumping'' and hardware development are described in this paper. 5 refs., 7 figs.

Assessment of the application of the sputtering process to beryllium for hardening optical coatings (open access)

Assessment of the application of the sputtering process to beryllium for hardening optical coatings

Two principal deposition processes are compared for the case of depositing 1 to 2 ..mu..m beryllium on fused-silica substrates. While the evaporation-deposition process offers advantages such as higher deposition rate, purification of the evaporant and efficient use of masks, the sputter-deposition is more versatile, and therefore more effective, in varying and controlling the microstructure of the deposits. The versatility comes about because the latter process has five major operational parameters to be selected or adjusted. Consequently, sputter-deposited beryllium films are expected to display more desirable microstructures and better surface finish than evaporation-deposited films.

Tables and graphs of photon-interaction cross sections from 0. 1 keV to 100 MeV derived from the LLL evaluated-nuclear-data library

Energy-dependent evaluated photon interaction cross sections and related parameters are presented for elements H through Cf(Z = 1 to 98). Data are given over the energy range from 0.1 keV to 100 MeV. The related parameters include form factors and average energy deposits per collision (with and without fluorescence). Fluorescence information is given for all atomic shells that can emit a photon with a kinetic energy of 0.1 keV or more. In addition, the following macroscopic properties are given: total mean free path and energy deposit per centimeter. This information is derived from the Livermore Evaluated-Nuclear-Data Library (ENDL) as of October 1978.
