Transient Beam Loading In Linear Electron Accelerators (open access)

Transient Beam Loading In Linear Electron Accelerators

"The subject of beam loading in linear electron accelerators has been discussed. With suitable design it is possible to place the equilibrium electron phase angle well ahead of the crest of the traveling wave in the accelerator. With beam loading the equilibrium position will move toward the crest, but the electron energy will remain constant or nearly so over a considerable range of loading. Some loss in energy will result from moving the equilibrium phase angle off the wave crest but the spread in energies due to beam loading should be reduced.

Theory Of The Constant Gradient Linear Electron Accelerator (open access)

Theory Of The Constant Gradient Linear Electron Accelerator

"The effect of beam loading upon the design and performance of the accelerator is examined. Results are given in dimensionless form so that the various equations and grams can be used at any operating frequency. The constant gradient accelerator is somewhat less subject to beam loading than the uniform accelerator structure. For an accelerator of given filling time and 20% more."

A Report on the Kinematics of High Energy Electron Scattering (open access)

A Report on the Kinematics of High Energy Electron Scattering

"A convenient summary is given of useful formulas on the kinematics of high energy electron scattering together with a derivation of the relevant formulas for transforming from the center of mass to the laboratory system such parameters as scattering cross sections. The formulas derived hold for any two- body collision: the approximation (m = 0) employed for the electron scattering calculations is rigorously true for the elastic scattering of photons."

A Study of Location Times for Positions Arranged on a Panel in a Random and an Ordered Manner (open access)

A Study of Location Times for Positions Arranged on a Panel in a Random and an Ordered Manner

The results of an experimental pilot study on the location time, for a sequence of N specified positions on a panel, are given for 1 <_ N <_ 30. The positions to be located were randomly arranged on one set of panels and arranged according to an ordering scheme on a second set of panels. Th location time for N positions randomly arranged on a panel varies approximately as N(2). In the case of an order arrangement the location time is essentially proportional to N. Even for as few as 30 positions, the location time for an random arrangement was twelve times greater than for an order panel. For 60 positions the ratio would be 19, and for 90 positions the ratio would be 26.

Frequency Components of a Step Function and a Sinusoid (open access)

Frequency Components of a Step Function and a Sinusoid

Fourier analyses are made on two functions. The first is a step function forward from periodic samples of a sinusoid. If the frequency of the sinusoid is less than one-half of the sampling frequency, it is shown that the step function has no frequency components less than one-half of the sampling frequency other than that of phase, and duration with respect to the interval of the analysis. It is shown that the insertion of a blank space in the period of analysis reduces greatly the uncertainty of the amplitude of the initial sinusoid as estimated from the results of the Fourier analysis. The results of the analyses are useful in the design and evaluation of certain analog data-analyzing systems.

The Equation of the Fusion Curve (open access)

The Equation of the Fusion Curve

A generalization of the Lindemann law is used in connection with the Murnaghan equation of state for a solid to derive theoretically the empirical Simon equation for the fusion curve. For the alkali metals it is shown that experimental values of the temperature exponent in the Simon equation are quantitatively compatible with the theoretical evaluation given, and, furthermore, that the theory can predict approximate values of the experiment, in practice.

Equipment and Preliminary Results for the Leaching of UO2 in a Basic Carbonate Circuit (open access)

Equipment and Preliminary Results for the Leaching of UO2 in a Basic Carbonate Circuit

Equipment has been designed and constructed for the purpose of leaching pure uranium minerals in both acidic and basic circuits. This equipment provides a means for removal of a series of samples during any one run, control over speed of agitation, indication of gas over pressure, and automatic temperature control. These units may be operated up to 1500 p.s.i. Solid UO2 samples were prepared by sintering under hydrogen to 1800 degree C. Preliminary results of the leaching of sintered UO2 in a basic Na2CO3-NaHCO3 circuit resulted in the formation of an insoluble yellow precipitate (probably Na2UO4) for low concentrations of Na2-NaHCO3. At higher carbonate concentrations no insoluble precipitate was formed and the rate of leaching was found to increase vary rapidly above 300 p.s.i. oxygen over pressure.

Remark on the Radiative Muon Decay in the Theory With an Intermediate Vector Meson (open access)

Remark on the Radiative Muon Decay in the Theory With an Intermediate Vector Meson

"The problem of explaining the lack of radiative muon decay in an intermediate charged vector meson theory is discussed. A possible way of introducing the charged vector meson to the theory of weak interactions is outlined in which renormalization is retained. However, if this way is used, the anomalous magnetic moment is calculated to be large, which is in contradiction with expectation."

Development of Techniques for Power Production From Mixed Fission Products (open access)

Development of Techniques for Power Production From Mixed Fission Products

"Progress is reported on Phase II of a program for the development of a mixed fission product fueled thermoelectric generator. Materials studies are described in which bonded assemblies of bismuth telluride were life tested up to 3000 hours at 350 to 400 deg F hot junction temperature. Data were too inconsistent to define any satisfactory long-life bonding process. Further work is needed to eliminate the process variables. Insulation studies aimed at determining the thermal conductivity of various insulations with different fill gases under reduced pressures are described. Opacified aerogel powder appears to be very promising as an insulation medium for a diffuse heat source. A full- scale simulated test generator aimed at proving out the concept of a diffuse heat source for power generation is described. Progress on the construction of this electrically heated generator and its thermoelectric power converter is related.

The Influence of Isotopic Composition on the Maximum in the Cosmic Ray Energy Spectra (open access)

The Influence of Isotopic Composition on the Maximum in the Cosmic Ray Energy Spectra

"The previously found maximum in the cosmic radiation energy spectrum is discussed, and the possibility that it arises in part from a misinterpretation of the data due to oversimplifying assumptions about the composition of the beam is examined. The importance that lack of recognition of isotopic composition may have is pointed out, and it is clear that this importance is strongly dependent on the measurements made and on the cut-off rigidity."
