The Sideband Technique In A Variable Frequency NMR Spectrometer

The purpose of this Note is to point out the advantages of the sideband technique over the derivative method in wideline NMR spectroscopy. In the sideband technique the absorption spectrum is recorded directly and the modulation amplitude is no longer a determining factor in the resolution.

Project Cowboy : Final Report : Seismic Decoupling for Explosions in Spherical Cavities (open access)

Project Cowboy : Final Report : Seismic Decoupling for Explosions in Spherical Cavities

A series paired explosions in a salt mine near Winnfield, Louisiana, has been conducted to test a theory by A.L. Latter concerning seismic decoupling by underground cavities. The theory predicted a decoupling of 132 Free-field and surface measurements from an explosion in either a 6-ft- or a 15-ft-radius spherical cavity were compared with similar measurements from a completely tamped explosion of equal size. Shot sizes were from 20 pounds up to a ton. Surface measurements were made out to 100 km and covered the frequency range from 0.05 to 100 cps. The experiments confirmed that decoupling does occur. For explosions that produce an average cavity pressure up to one-fifth and possible more of the lithostatic overburden pressure, seismic waves were decoupled by the 100, i.e., two order of magnitude. Even for explosions producing an average cavity pressure of six times the lithostatic overburden pressure, the seismic waves were decoupled by 20 -- more than a full order of magnitude. Minimum decoupling factors as a function of frequency are presented.
