Report describing the circulation and formation of electrons in a uniform magnetic field as part of a thermonuclear machine proposed at the Second Geneva International Conference.

Report discussing the steps to solve for the analytical solution of an equation that was mentioned in The Self-Consistent Field of Single-Type Electrons in a Uniform Magnetic Field.

Report discussing low and high acceleration flight mechanics for interplanetary missions, as well as the energy limitation for electric propulsion systems powered by a nuclear energy source. From abstract: "An optimization procedure for low acceleration systems is given which leads to a simple relationship between mission requirements, payload fraction, power plant specific power, and exhaust velocity."

Report discussing the status of the five main thermonuclear research groups at University of California Radiation Laboratory. The Mirror Machine program is given a more detailed description.

Report discussing "experimental results on the classical stabilized pinch," "the usefulness of the Levitron in Stellarator-type operation," and "practical details of the levitation process." A configuration is presented which involves a "toroidal pinch tube inside which a rigid toroidal conductor is levitated by means of an induced magnetic field." Additionally, "an alternative scheme is considered, where the toroidal core is suspended from current-carrying wires, but this approach does not appear promising."

The following report demonstrates experimental verification of a method described in a previous paper--that involves measuring the dispersive microwave propagation coefficients simultaneously at several frequencies and comparing measured values with the values calculated for various distribution functions--and describes the procedure used to determine the distribution function in a sample laboratory plasma experiment.

The following report examines the trapping of charged particles, fast electrons especially, within the geomagnetic field.

The following report is a bibliography containing reports, books and journals on the production of high temperatures (2000-3000 F). The literature provided only covers to the end of 1957.

A report discussing a more general analysis of "the relation between plasma pressure in the Astron [Thermonuclear Reactor] and the magnetic field of the E-layer" which is described in UCRL-5032. The analysis given in this report has "no restriction to the exponential form and [satisfies] the condition that the pressure at the axis shall be zero."

"The object of this note is to outline an Omnitron source scheme where the sheath voltage of the Omnitron is not carried over into the reactor region."

Report detailing various Bremsstrahlung theories since 1945. Citations for different theories are included.

The following report records the use of the double-precision THEMIS code to integrate the motion of Mars and Venus in order to obtain a complete set of rectangular equatorial coordinates over the interval 1600-2000 A.D.

The following document is a bibliography containing a collection of documents discussing natural steam and geothermal power generation.

Report presenting six lectures on theories for angular distributions in low energy nuclear reactions. The topics of the lectures are "survey of reaction mechanisms", "born approximation for direct interaction theory", "semiclassical approximation for direct interaction", "distorted wave analysis and direct surface interactions", "angular correlation - general theory", and "interpretation of inelastic proton scattering by means of angular correlation theory".

From preface: The following bibliography on high pressure-high temperature, and high pressure, is the result of an investigation into the equipment and experimental technique needed to increase the density of powdered compounds, especially those compounds which possess a high vapor pressure of hydrogen at moderate temperature and pressure.

The following report describes the Astron Thermonuclear Program initiated at Livermore, California in 1957.

"The injection of the E-layer electrons into the Astron reactor is described by following the electrons as they emerge from the anode of the 1-Mev electron gun through the various steps up to their injection in the reactor volume. Several problems are imposed by this injection process and their solutions are discussed briefly. The detailed mathematical theory and calculations will be presented in a separate paper now in preparation."

This report focuses on the study of the stabilized pinch program made to increase the plasma temperature and improve the plasma conductivity and containment. One method proposed is the usage of a large toroidal stabilized pinch, which is described here.

This report discusses the problem of obtaining thermonuclear temperatures as part of reaching a controlled fusion reaction for fusion power. Tables covering radiation losses and thermonuclear reaction rates are included. Talk before JCAEC in Washington, D. C.

This is parta bibliography containing documents on gaseous thermal diffusion. The open literature provided are dated between the years 1940 to 1957.

Abstract: "The paper is concerned with the basic concepts and techniques of Monte Carlo, such as the generation of random numbers, the construction of samples from a given distribution, and techniques for reducing the variances of the estimates. The latter include the expected values method, systematic and stratified sampling, importance sampling, splitting and Russian roulette, conditional Monte Carlo, and correlation and regression. These are discussed with reference to two examples: a system comprising a roulette wheel and three urns, and a simplified neutron shielding problem. For the two-stage sampling in the first example, the inequalities among the variances of ten of the estimates obtained by various methods are investigated."
