First results from electron-photon damage equivalence studies on a generic ethylene-propylene rubber (open access)

First results from electron-photon damage equivalence studies on a generic ethylene-propylene rubber

As part of a simulator adequacy assessment program, the relative effectiveness of electrons and photons to produce damage in a generic ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) has been investigated. The investigation was limited in extent in that a single EPR material, in three thickness, was exposed to Cobalt-60 photons and three electron beam energies. Basing material damage on changes in the EPR mechanical properties elongation and tensile strength, we observed that EPR damage was a smoothly varying function of absorbed energy and independent of irradiating particle type. EPR damage tracked equally well as a function of both incident particle energy and material front surface dose. Based on these preliminary data, we tentatively concluded that a correlation between particle, particle energy, and material damage (as measured by changes in material elongation and/or tensile strength) has been demonstrated. 14 figs.

Magnet Current Regulation in the SSC (open access)

Magnet Current Regulation in the SSC

This paper investigates the transient response, the stability and the regulation characteristics of a system designed to power the SSC magnets. Considering the magnet system as a transmission line, the performance of the regulation system was investigated under perturbations on the voltage power supply and changes in the current reference. The influence of the damping resistors on the transient reponse was included. Differential current transductors were included to minimize the tracking errors between the electrically isolated sectors. A comparison was made for the two cases, with and without the differential loops. System performance was investigated during ramping of the magnets and during steady state full field operation.

Effects of Water Levels on Productivity of Canada Geese in the Northern Flathead Valley, 1985 Annual Report. (open access)

Effects of Water Levels on Productivity of Canada Geese in the Northern Flathead Valley, 1985 Annual Report.

Operation of Hungry Horse Dam on the South Fork Flathead River causes sporadic water level fluctuations along the main stem Flathead River. Changes in chronology of seasonal water level fluctuations and substantial habitat losses have occurred as a result of construction and operation of Kerr Dam, which regulates Flathead Lake. These fluctuations may impact goose populations through flooding and erosion of nesting and brood-rearing habitats, and increased susceptibility of nests and young to predation. The number, location, and success of goose nests were determined through pair surveys and nest searches. Our 1985 pair count data indicated that 95 to 143 nests may have been present. Hatching success for 1985 nests (55%) was low compared to long-term averages for the region. Predation was the predominant cause of ground nest failure (25 nests); we documented 2 nest failures due to flooding. The maximum gosling count in the study area for 1985 was 197. Six key brood-rearing areas were identified. Most (80%) sites were located in the herbaceous or pasture cover type and the riparian bench landform. Analysis of aerial photographs taken prior to construction of Kerr Dam documented the loss of 1859 acres of habitat along the north shore of Flathead Lake. …

Time and space resolved spectroscopy of x-ray laser experiments (open access)

Time and space resolved spectroscopy of x-ray laser experiments

We report experimental data from one of the first of this new generation of instruments designed specifically for laboratory x-ray laser diagnosis. Representative TGSS-EM data are presented from three different x-ray laser inversion schemes: collisional excitation of neon-like selenium (lambda approx. = 206, 209A); resonant photoexcitation of hydrogen-like fluorine (lambda = 81A); and recombination of hydrogen-like magnesium (lambda approx. = 130A). The data illustrate the measurement capabilities of the TGSS-EM and provide insight to the dynamics and emission characteristics of this new class of laser produced plasmas.

Progress on laser plasma accelerators (open access)

Progress on laser plasma accelerators

Several laser plasma accelerator schemes are reviewed, with emphasis on the Plasma Beat Wave Accelerator (PBWA). Theory indicates that a very high acceleration gradient, of order 1 GeV/m, can exist in the plasma wave driven by the beating lasers. Experimental results obtained on the PBWA experiment at UCLA confirms this. Parameters related to the PBWA as an accelerator system are derived, among them issues concerning the efficiency and the laser power and energy requirements are discussed.

Instability characteristics of fluidelastic instability of tube rows in crossflow

An experimental study is reported to investigate the jump phenomenon in critical flow velocities for tube rows with different pitch-to-diameter ratios and the excited and intrinsic instabilities for a tube row with a pitch-to-diameter ratio of 1.75. The experimental data provide additional insights into the instability phenomena of tube arrays in crossflow. 9 refs., 10 figs.

NOVA: a nonvariational code for solving MHD stability of axisymmetric toroidal plasmas

A nonvariational approach for determining the ideal MHD stability of axisymmetric toroidal confinement systems is presented. The code (NOVA) employs cubic B-spline finite elements and Fourier expansion in a general flux coordinate (psi, theta, zeta) system. Better accuracy and faster convergence were obtained in comparison with the variational PEST and ERATO codes. The nonvariational approach can be extended to problems having non-Hermitian eigenmode equations where variational energy principles cannot be obtained.

Phase Transformations in Neutron-Irradiated Zircaloys (open access)

Phase Transformations in Neutron-Irradiated Zircaloys

Microstructural evolution in Zircaloy-2 and -4 spent-fuel cladding specimens after approx.3 years of irradiation in commercial power reactors has been investigated by TEM and HVEM. Two kinds of precipitates induced by the fast-neutron irradiation in the reactors have been identified, i.e., Zr/sub 3/O and cubic-ZrO/sub 2/ particles approximately 2 to 10 nm in size. By means of a weak-beam dark-field ''2-1/2D-microscopy'' technique, the bulk nature of the precipitates and the surficial nature of artifact oxide and hydride phases could be discerned. The Zr(Fe/sub x/,Cr/sub 1-x/)/sub 2/ and Zr/sub 2/(Fe/sub x/,Ni/sub 1-x/) intermetallic precipitates normally present in the as-fabricated material virtually dissolved in the spent-fuel cladding specimens after a fast-neutron fluence of approx.4 x 10/sup 21/ ncm/sup -2/ in the power reactors. The observed radiation-induced phase transformations are compared with predictions based on the currently available understanding of the alloy characteristics. 29 refs.

Spectral and parameter estimation problems arising in the metrology of high performance mirror surfaces (open access)

Spectral and parameter estimation problems arising in the metrology of high performance mirror surfaces

The accurate characterization of mirror surfaces requires the estimation of two-dimensional distribution functions and power spectra from trend-contaminated profile measurements. The rationale behind this, and our measurement and processing procedures, are described. The distinction between profile and area spectra is indicated, and since measurements often suggest inverse-power-law forms, a discussion of classical and fractal models of processes leading to these forms is included. 9 refs.
