High Energy Proton Spallation--Fission of Uranium (open access)

High Energy Proton Spallation--Fission of Uranium

The fission and spallation reactions caused in uranium by bombardment with high energy protons (340 to 350 Mev) were investigated. The reaction products were separated from the target by chemical processes and identified by their radioactive properties. The relative yields of the observed fission products were measured, and the results plotted as a function of mass number. Several of the spallation products were identified and their yields estimated.

Reflection of Electrons by a Model Magnetic Mirror Machine (open access)

Reflection of Electrons by a Model Magnetic Mirror Machine

Abstract: A visualized electron beam has been reflected by a conventional magnetic mirror. Visualization of the beam path from the electron gun to and including the region of reflection was achieved by the "thread ray" technique of Wehnelt. The total current passing through a magnetic mirror has been measured as a function of the beam energy and angular momentum for Hâ‚‚ over a range of pressures from 0.5 to 5 microns.

Production of Neutral Photopions as a Function of Atomic Weight (open access)

Production of Neutral Photopions as a Function of Atomic Weight

Thesis discussing the relative yield of neutral pions from elements in a reaction "as a function of the quantum-limit energy (the maximum energy of the quanta in the bremsstrahlung beam) of the Berkeley synchrotron." Interpretation of the results leads to values for the mean free path for absorption of the neutral pions in nuclear matter.

Toy Top Plasma Injector (open access)

Toy Top Plasma Injector

Introduction: "It is the purpose of this note to describe the construction and operation of the plasma injectors used in the magnetic high compression experiments in progress at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory at Livermore. As the investigations of these injections is still in progress, remarks concerning their operation or the characteristics of the injected plasma are of a tentative nature."
