Video footage from the KXAS-TV/NBC station in Fort Worth, Texas, covering a news story by reporter Linda Frederick about the 1985 School Reform Bill and its influence on Dallas and Fort Worth teachers who are putting more emphasis on grades and objective testing than creativity and classroom discussion. This story includes footage of students in classrooms, an interview with an unidentified woman, and an interview with an unidentified man who relates this focus on objectivity to the No Pass No Play rule and recent incidents at Carter High School. This story aired at 6:00 P.M.

The principal detector for AGS Experiment 810 is a Time Projection Chamber (TPC) in which it is intended to measure momenta and angles of a major fraction of the charged particles from each light ion collision. This report describes the results of a test of a prototype of the TPC in a beam of (14.6 /times/ 16 = 233.6 GeV/c) oxygen ions run in June of this year.

The status of Transverse Energy (E/sub T/) in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions at the Brookhaven AGS and the CERN SPS is reviewed. The definition of E/sub T/ and its physical significance are discussed. The basic techniques and limitations of the experimental measurements are presented. The acceptances of the major experiments to be discussed are shown, along with remarks about their idiosyncrasies. The data demonstrate that the nuclear geometry of colliding spheres primarily determines the shapes of the observed spectra. Careful account of the acceptances is crucial to comparing and interpreting results. It is concluded that nuclear stopping power is high, and that the amount of energy deposited into the interaction volume is increasing with beam energy even at SPS energies. The energy densities believed to be obtained at the SPS are close to the critical values predicted for the onset of a quark-gluon plasma. 25 refs., 8 figs.

We introduce the concept of using frost as the first wall of the ICF Laboratory Microfusion Facility being designed to produce 200--1000 MJ of thermonuclear yield. We present one design incorporating 2 cm of frost deposited at 0.1 g/cm/sup 3/ on an LN-cooled fiber-reinforced polymer substrate. We calculate that such a frost layer will protect the substrate from ablation by target x rays and debris, and from shock-induced spallation. Postshot washdown with water should permit low-activation operation, and should preserve the original wall properties. We expect the impact of the frost on laser optics to be minimal, and expect the preshot lifetime of thermally unprotected cryogenic targets to be extended by operating the wall at 100-150 K. Moreover, we believe that such a frost first wall will involve little technical risk, and will be inexpensive to construct and operate. 4 refs., 1 fig.

This report discusses progress made during the current contract period on the authors research program to study collisions between spin-polarized electrons and optically prepared atoms. The objective of this work is to stimulate a deeper theoretical understanding of the electron-atom interaction by providing more complete experimental measurements on colliding systems. By preparing the internal states of the collision partners before scattering, they are able to extract substantially more information about the scattering process than is available from more conventional measurements of differential cross sections. The authors are principally interested in observing the role played by spin in low energy electron-atom collisions. The additional information provided by these spin-dependent measurements can greatly enhance understanding of both exchange and the spin-orbit interaction in the scattering process. They have made substantial progress in the past three years in their measurements both of elastic and superelastic scattering of spin-polarized electrons from optically pumped sodium.

A weekly publication, the Texas Register serves as the journal of state agency rulemaking for Texas. Information published in the Texas Register includes proposed, adopted, withdrawn and emergency rule actions, notices of state agency review of agency rules, governor's appointments, attorney general opinions, and miscellaneous documents such as requests for proposals. After adoption, these rulemaking actions are codified into the Texas Administrative Code.
