The magnets in the Fermilab Booster Synchrotron are laminated in order to minimize the eddy current losses and associated field distortions expected at a 15 Hz operating frequency. To further reduce the eddy current losses, the vacuum chamber is outside the magnet, hence allowing the beam induced wall currents to see the laminations directly. This note estimates the coupling impedances and beam energy loss per turn caused by the exposed laminations.

We have conducted parametric economic studies for inertial confinement fusion (ICF) electric power plants using an economic model to estimate the cost of electricity. We found that the economy of scale of the reactor is an important factor in determining the combination of target gain, driver efficiency, and electric conversion efficiency required for an economically competitive system. A strong economy of scale allows a significant reduction in these performance parameters for a given cost of electricity. The degree of reduction is dependent, however, on the maximum achievable chamber pulse rate.

An improved stellar model with a detailed composition structure is used to look at the nonradial behavior of a star near the region in the H-R diagram where the delta Scuti variables are found. Satisfactory solutions are obtained to the linear nonadiabatic equations. The newly calculated evolution models will be used in the future to study the pulsational stability of this class of stars. 4 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.

Results of convective, nonlinear RR Lyrae models are presented. The standard mixing length theory has been used with time dependence being introduced through the convective velocity phase lag technique. Turbulent pressure and turbulent viscosity are also included. Results are compared with those of other time dependent convection theories. 9 refs., 2 figs.

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 Information published in the Texas Register includes proposed, adopted, withdrawn and emergency rule actions, notices of state agency review of agency rules, governor's appointments, attorney general opinions, and miscellaneous documents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.

Radial pulsations in models of R Cor Bor stars and BD + 1/sup 0/4381 have been studied with a nonlinear hydrodynamic pulsation code. Comparisons are made with previous calculations and with observed light and velocity curves. 13 refs., 2 tabs.

Current uncertainty about the most massive observed stars has led to a reexamination of the most massive star that is stable against radial pulsation. The nuclear energy generation equations in the LNA linear, nonadiabatic code have been considerably improved, so that it is now appropriate to redo the study to determine the maximum mass of ZAMS star that will be stable against pulsation. 12 refs., 2 figs., 2 tabs.

In response to a NASA opportunity, a proposal has been made to study the concept of an Asteroseismology Explorer (ASE). The goal of the ASE would be to measure solar-like oscillations on many (perhaps hundreds) of stars during a 1-year mission, including many members of open clusters. We describe this proposal's observational goals, a strawman technical approach, and likely scientific rewards. 5 refs.
