A summary is presented of theoretical expectations for the total cross sections for bottom quark production, for longitudinal and transverse momentum distributions, and for b, /bar b/ momentum correlations at Fermilab fixed target and collider energies.

The Fermilab antiprotron Accumulator has been modified for use in a medium energy experiment. The experiment is conducted with circulating antiproton beam of momentum between 6.7 GeV/c and 3.7 GeV/c colliding with protons from an internal gas jet. Antiprotons are accumulated at the normal momentum of 8.9 GeV/c and then decelerated to the appropriate energy. It is necessary to cool the beam continually during the time it is colliding with the gas jet. The experiment requires new provisions for the control of magnet power supplies and low level rf system and modifications of the cooling system and high level energy systems to permit variable energy operation. Transition must be crossed to decelerate the beam below 5 GeV/c; because the deceleration is very slow, transition can not be crossed in a conventional manner. This paper will describe the required changes to the Accumulator and operating experience with protons. 8 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.

The tokamak nonlinear optimization systems code TETRA has been expanded to contain the option of examining machine designs capable of ''multi-modal'' operations. The conceptual International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) is an example of a ''bi-modal'' operating machine design in that it must be capable of both pulse-ignited and steady-state operations. This new version of TETRA allows for the optimization of a ''figure-of-merit'' which may involve several operating scenarios. We obtain for ITER minimum cost designs which are capable of igniting when operated in the pulsed mode as well as have reasonable Q > 5 when operated in steady-state. 3 refs., 3 tabs.

Before I go into detailed MPS experiments, I will give a summary of the status of lattice gauge calculations of glueball masses plus glueball and hybrid masses from the bag model, and the flux tube model. For the following discussion, I am going to assume that multi-quark states or molecules are best described in terms of the MIT bag model of Jaffe with its spectrum best defined by work done by R.L. Jaffe and F.E. Low using a method called The P-Matrix. Using this method one sees that all 4-quark states will appear as very broad continuum like effects that one would not associate with meson resonances, except for the S* and the delta which forms a very special threshold K/bar K/ bound systems. There is a possibility that the E(1420) may also be related to the J/sup PC/ = 1/sup + +/, qq/bar q//bar q/ spectrum having its width narrowed by a final state interaction.

We consider the contribution of e/sup /plus//e/sup /minus// machines to the measurement of CP violation in the B systems. Energy regions from the GAMMA(4S) to the Z/degree/ are considered, problems and prospects at each energy are reviewed.

A number of recent developments in research on blood cell labeling techniques are presented. The discussion relates to three specific areas: (1) a new in vitro method for red blood cell labeling with /sup 99m/Tc; (2) a method for labeling leukocytes and platelets with /sup 99m/Tc; and (3) the use of monoclonal antibody technique for platelet labeling. The advantages and the pitfalls of these techniques are examined in the light of available mechanistic information. Problems that remain to be resolved are reviewed. An assessment is made of the progress as well as prospects in blood cell labeling methodology including that using the monoclonal antibody approach. 37 refs., 4 figs.

A beam dynamics experiment, performed in the Fermilab Tevatron, that was mainly motivated by planning for the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) is described. Nonlinearities are introduced in the Tevatron by special sextupoles in order to stimulate the SSC environment. ''Smear'' is one of the parameters used to characterize the deviation from linear behavior. Smear is extracted from experimental data and compared with calculation over a wide range of conditions. The agreement is excellent. The closed orbit at injection trajectory reveal no deterioration even at the highest sextupole excitations. Measurements of the dynamic aperture are in general agreement with prediction. Particles captured on nonlinear resonance islands are directly observed and measurements are performed for the first time. The stability of the islands under tune modulation is investigated. 4 refs., 8 figs.

The goal of the US ICF Program is to obtain a high-yield (100 to 1000 MJ) and high-gain (about 100) thermonuclear fusion capability in the laboratory. It has long been recognized that before such a laboratory facility is constructed, it must be demonstrated that laboratory conditions can be created that will, with high probability, lead to high gain if a driver of sufficient energy is built and that such a facility can be built at reasonable cost. Thus, the two major aspects of the US program address target physics and driver development. Four main driver candidates are actively being pursued: solid state lasers (principally Nd:glass), KrF gas lasers, light ion beams (Li ions accelerated by ion diodes), and heavy ion beams )A /approximately/200, accelerated by linear induction accelerator). The target physics aspect of the program is further divided into indirect and direct drive targets. In indirect drive targets the driver beams are aimed at a material near the capsule to generate x-rays, which then are absorbed in the fusion capsule ablator to produce the implosion. In direct-drive targets, the driver beams are aimed at the surface of the capsule. However, even in this case it should be recognized that the …

A flow instability has been observed in a rectangular thin conducting wall duct in MHD experiments at ANL's ALEX facility. It developed in a side layer jet attached to a side wall parallel to the applied B-field. The nature of the instability resembles very strongly that of a classic laminar instability in ordinary fluid mechanics. The phenomenon is distinguished from ordinary turbulence by its strong periodicity and its lack of small scale structure. A preliminary identification of the factors which may influence the instability has been made. For the conditions and test section geometry reported here, the instability appears at an approximately constant critical Reynolds number 2650 < Re/sub cr/ < 5100, independent of Hartmann number in the range 2700 < M < 5400. 6 refs., 18 figs.
