X-ray emission from laser-produced plasmas (open access)

X-ray emission from laser-produced plasmas

The intensity and spectral characteristics of x-ray emitted from laser-produced plasmas have been investigated computatinoally and experimentally. a two-dimensional implosi code was used successfully to calculate laser-plasma radiation characteristics and to aid in the design of laser targets for high-yield x-ray production. Other computer codes, in use or under development predict lime strengths and energies for laser-plasma x-ray emission. An experimental effort is aimed at reliable measurements of x-ray yields and spectra. a wide variety of x-ray detection methods have been evaluated, and x-ray yields have been measured from plasmas produced with two dissimilar laser systems. The high energy x-ray spectrum, from about 10 to 140 keV, has been studied using high-gain scintillatino detectors and thick K-edge filters. Various supplementary measurements have provided information concerning characteristics of the target-reflected laser light, the ion energies, and the laser intensity patterns.

Environmental {sup 129}I Measurements

Environmental levels of {sup 129}I and natural {sup 127}I have been measured by neutron activation analysis .on samples from throughout the United States at locations near and remote from release points . Highest {sup 129}I concentrations were observed near nuclear fuel reprocessing facilities. Levels of {sup 129}I above natural iodine background were observed at all locations studied. The sample data establishes baseline levels of environmental {sup 129}I for the expanding nuclear industry.

Pulsed Energy Storage System Design (open access)

Pulsed Energy Storage System Design

A superconductive energy storage magnet which is connected to the three phase power system could be designed, constructed, and placed in operation at Fermilab which would essentially eliminate the large repetitive power pulses now required from the power system. In addition to the power pulses, voltage flicker is also caused due to the reactive power pulsation. Specifically, a one megawatt hour superconductive energy storage magnet and a 2.00 megawatt thyristorized converter can achieve nullification of these power pulses up to 400 GEV synchrotron operation. Above 400 GEV, operation should be possible up to 500 GEV with appreciable less power pulsing requirements from the system than are now considered permissible. Carried to successful completion, this project would serve to advance applied superconductivity to a highly significant degree. The effect would be of world wide importance to both high energy physics and to the electric power industry. The preliminary magnet design is a 1 MWh dipole composed of cryogenically stable composite conductors connected in parallel with aluminum shield windings. The shield windings carry impressed pulsed currents while eliminating pulsed currents from the dc superconductive windings. Without pulsed currents or pulsed magnetic fields there are no ac losses in standard helium. The major …

The transport line between the main ring and the energy doubler (open access)

The transport line between the main ring and the energy doubler

In this paper we describe the transport line between the main ring (MR) and the energy doubler (ED). The transport line is designed on the basis of the following three assumptions: (1) The ED is located at the apex of the same tunnel which encloses the MR. The relative locations of the two rings are shown in Fig. 1. The ED line is 3 feet to the inside and 4 feet above with respect to the MR line. Watching Fig. 1 the beam moves toward the page and the center of the rings is to the right. The continuous outer curve is the cross section of the tunnel in a typical long-straight section, the dashed inner curve is the cross section of the tunnel in the bent section. (2) The beam has to be extracted from one long-straight section of the MR (BO) and injected in the next medium-straight section of the ED (B17). The two rings are assumed to have the same identical lattice structure. (3) To keep the aisle-way in the tunnel as clear as we can it is advisable to extract the beam horizontally but displaced first vertically upward and second horizontally inward. The beam is then …

Pion-pion scattering analysis of 205 GeV/c pi- p interactions in the NAL 30-inch hydrogen bubble chamber (open access)

Pion-pion scattering analysis of 205 GeV/c pi- p interactions in the NAL 30-inch hydrogen bubble chamber

A number of experiments at beam momenta below {approx} 25 GeV/c have yielded results on {pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +} and {pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup -} scattering cross sections, obtained by modified Chew-Low extrapolation techniques applied to the reactions {pi}{sup -}p {yields} {Delta}{sup 0}{pi}{sup +}{sup -}. They have applied these same techniques to a small sample (169 events) of the reaction {pi}{sup -}p {yields} p{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup -} obtained from a 48,000-photo exposure of the NAL 30-inch hydrogen bubble chamber to a 205 GeV {pi}{sup -} beam. The statistics are insufficient to test the validity of the analysis at these high energies but they find {pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +} and {pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup -} elastic scattering cross sections in the M{sub {pi}{sup {+-}}{pi}{sup -}} {approx} 3 GeV. Results will be presented of an attempt to obtain inelastic and total {pi}{pi} scattering cross-section estimates under similar assumptions.

Production of K0(S) lambda and gamma in 100-GeV/c pion proton interactions

Results are presented on the production of K{sub s}{sup 0}, {Lambda} and {gamma} and {gamma} in 100 GeV/c {pi}{sup -}p interactions in the 30-inch hydrogen bubble chamber at NAL. The cross sections for the production of {pi}{sup 0}, K{sub s}{sup 0}, {Lambda} and {bar {Lambda}} are derived and compared with those produced in other reactions as functions of the energy. The average number of {pi}{sup 0} produced per collision is the same as in 100 GeV/c pp reactions.

TEST OF A LIQUID ARGON CHAMBER WITH 20-u m RMS RESOLUTION (open access)

TEST OF A LIQUID ARGON CHAMBER WITH 20-u m RMS RESOLUTION

A measurement of the spatial resolution of a liquid-argon filled chamber was performed with minimum ionizing particles. Two multi-strip chambers with 20-{micro}m strip spacing operating in the ionization mode were used in the experiment. They perform in accordance with a simple model based on electron diffusion. An estimate of the amount of electron diffusion in liquid argon is given and the time jitter distribution has a FWHM of 200 ns. Under best conditions, the spatial resolution is better than 20 {micro}m rms with an efficiency of nearly 100%.

The Quality of Surface Waters in Texas (open access)

The Quality of Surface Waters in Texas

Abstract: The discharge-weighted average concentrations of dissolved solids, chloride, and sulfate for many of the principal streams in Texas are less than 500 mg/1 (milligrams per liter), 250 mg/1, and·250 mg/1, respectively. At 65 of 131 sites on streams that were sampled at least 10 times, the biochemical oxygen demand of at· least half the samples exceeded 3,0 mg/1. At 20 of the sites, the dissolved-oxygen content of at least !half the samples was less than 5.0_ mg/1. The higher concentrations of minor elements usually were detected in waters from urban areas, indicating a relation to man's activities. Small amounts of some pesticides are widely distributed in low concentrations. The higher concentrations usually were detected in waters from urban areas. Small amounts of some of the pesticides studied are widely distributed in surface waters in Texas. Some of the more widely distributed pesticides were 2,4,5-T at 96 sites, diazinon at 80 sites, 2,4-D at 78 sites, dieldrin at 77 sites, Silvex at 47 sites, DDT at 67 sites, lindane at 59 sites, DDD at 51 sites, DDE at SO sites, and chlordane at 38 sites.
