Anodic Precipitation of Tracer Manganese as Dioxide

Quantitative recovery of carrier‐free 10−9 M manganese (II) is possible from weakly acidic solutions. The use of lead dioxide as either a non-isotopic carrier or a chemical displacing agent makes possible high recoveries from more acidic solutions.

An approach to the study of solid state bonding (open access)

An approach to the study of solid state bonding

The program objective has been to investigate the possible similarity between a bond interface and a grain boundary. The criterion for establishing the similarity of a bond interface and a grain boundary was the migration characteristics of the boundary under the influence of controlled orientation, strain level, temperature and time. In addition, the orientation dependency of the "threshold", or minimum deformation, for bonding would have to be determined. The initial bonding studies were to be made by a "cold welding" technique; subsequently, elevated temperatures bonding would have been attempted. Migration of boundaries was to be observed by high temperature metallographic techniques.

The Design and Uses of High Flux Research and Test Reactors (open access)

The Design and Uses of High Flux Research and Test Reactors

The need for thermal and fast neutron fluxes in the range of 1 to 5 x l0/ sup 15/ neutrons/cm/sup 2/(sec) for the production of heavy elements such as Cf/ sup 252/ and other special isotopes and for improving the quality of beam experiments, reactor materials testing work, and solid state research has led to plans for the construction of three ultra high flux research reactors. The designs of these and other high flux research reactors are based on the general technology of enriched tank-type reactors; however, they utilize the principle of separate fuel and moderator regions to achieve flux peaking in these regions. Thus, proposed designs take the form of an annular fuel region with internal and external moderating regions or an under moderated core with an external moderator or reflector. In such arrangements, the thermal flux peaks in the moderating regions and the fast flux peaks in the fuel region, which results in maximum fast and thermal fluxes per unit of power. Since most of the moderation of fast neutrons takes place outside of the fuel region, the thermal flux peaking depends on the number of fast neutrons leaking from the reactor core, which in turn depends on …

A Fast Hyperfragment Produced by a Heavy Primary Cosmic Ray (open access)

A Fast Hyperfragment Produced by a Heavy Primary Cosmic Ray

The order of magnitude of the non-mesonic to mesonic ratio has been measured for several species of hyper- fragments. With this ratio as well as the branching ratio of the mesonic decays and a determination of the lifetime, it is possible to find the partial decay rates of the various modes. This decay rate should throw light on the influence of nucleons on the strangeness violation in the decay. The effect should be greater for heavy hyperfragments. The difficulty in attempts to measure lifetimes in emulsions is that the mean energy of the hyperfragments products by K mesons and Pions is so low that the moderation time is a very small fraction of the lifetime. Although the stopping power of bubble chambers is considerably less, the spatial resolution of these devices is such that the heavier hyperfragments can not be seen or identified. For these reasons, it seems possible to measure lifetimes of heavy hyperfragments only in emulsions. In an attempt to achieve higher nuclear excitation energies in interactions and correspondingly more energetic hyperfragments, a search has made for hyperfragments produced by heavy primaries from the cosmic rays.

Geology and Ore Deposits in the Reid Inlet Area Glacier Bay, Alaska

From abstract: A gold-bearing area of about 7% square miles near the head of Glacier Bay between Reid and Lamplugh Glaciers was first discovered by Mr. Joseph Ibach in 1924. The dominant rock type in the area is granodiorite, which is intruded into bedded rocks that may be of Paleozoic age. The bedded rocks consist of conglomerate, limestone, and black graphitic schist. A light-colored quartz diorite younger than the granodiorite crops out south of the mapped area.
