A Proposal For Reducing Impurities in a Stabilized Pinched Discharge

It is proposed to reduce the initial wall hangup and consequent plasma contamination of a stabilized pinched discharge by reducing the Bz pressure difference across the current sheath to nearly zero at early times. Two methods for accomplishing this are proposed, both involving multistage programming of the Bz system.

Time Dependence of the Slowing Down of Neutrons with Constant Scattering Mean Free Path (open access)

Time Dependence of the Slowing Down of Neutrons with Constant Scattering Mean Free Path

Simple expression are derived for the time dependence of slowing down of neutrons in a simple media. In Section I, a method suggested by age theory is used, while in section II, a two parameter scattering function is employed. Results are compared with exact calculations.
