It has been shown theoretically that intense microwave radiation is absorbed non-classically by a newly enunciated mechanism when interacting with hydrogen plasma. Fields > 1 Mg, lambda > 1 mm are within this regime. The predicted absorption, approximately P/sub rf/v/sub theta/sup e/, has not yet been experimentally confirmed. The applications of such a coupling are many. If microwave bursts approximately > 5 x 10/sup 14/ watts, 5 ns can be generated, the net generation of power from pellet fusion as well as various military applications becomes feasible. The purpose, then, for considering gas-gun photon compression is to obtain the above experimental capability by converting the gas kinetic energy directly into microwave form. Energies of >10/sup 5/ joules cm/sup -2/ and powers of >10/sup 13/ watts cm/sup -2/ are potentially available for photon interaction experiments using presently available technology. The following topics are discussed: microwave modes in a finite cylinder, injection, compression, switchout operation, and system performance parameter scaling.

The NTIS and Engineering Index files were searched for citations relating to Ceramic and/or Metal Electron Tubes and High Temperature Electronics. A total of 24 citations were found relating directly to ceramic tubes and 24 to high temperature electronics. A search for electron tubes in general was examined for high temperature applications and 39 were obtained. Computer printouts of the abstracts are included in appendices. (MHR)

The results of investigations carried out into the availability and suitability of ceramic vacuum tubes for the development of logging tools for geothermal wells are summarized. Design data acquired in the evaluation of ceramic vacuum tubes for the development of a 500/sup 0/C instrumentation amplifier are presented. The general requirements for ceramic vacuum tubes for application to the development of high temperature well logs are discussed. Commercially available tubes are described and future contract activities that specifically relate to ceramic vacuum tubes are detailed. Supplemental data is presented in the appendix. (MHR)

This report describes GENVAR, an interactive computer program which can perform a least-squares fit to the matrix equation ..beta..X = Y, where X is a matrix of observable inputs and Y is a vector of observable outcomes for the input values. The program is controlled by teletypewriter, and is written in LRLTRAN for compilation by CHAT and execution on a CDC 7600. The report describes the way the program operates as well as ways GENVAR can be used to make statistically considered forecasts. Samples of graphic output and the source code listing (GLMVAR) are provided. 2 figures, 3 tables.

We have written a computer code called LINEAR that both converts evaluated cross sections in the ENDF/B format to linear-linear interpolatable form and thins those sections already in that form. The main advantage of the code is that it eliminates the need for any subsequent code to consider anything but linear-linear data.
