1-2 GeV synchrotron radiation facility at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (open access)

1-2 GeV synchrotron radiation facility at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory

The Advanced Light Source (ALS), a dedicated synchrotron radiation facility optimized to generate soft x-ray and vacuum ultraviole (XUV) light using magnetic insertion devices, was proposed by the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory in 1982. It consists of a 1.3-GeV injection system, an electron storage ring optimized at 1.3 GeV (with the capability of 1.9-GeV operation), and a number of photon beamlines emanating from twelve 6-meter-long straight sections, as shown in Fig. 1. In addition, 24 bending-magnet ports will be avialable for development. The ALS was conceived as a research tool whose range and power would stimulate fundamentally new research in fields from biology to materials science (1-4). The conceptual design and associated cost estimate for the ALS have been completed and reviewed by the US Department of Energy (DOE), but preliminary design activities have not yet begun. The focus in this paper is on the history of the ALS as an example of how a technical construction project was conceived, designed, proposed, and validated within the framwork of a national laboratory funded largely by the DOE.

300-Element Silicon-Lithium Position-Sensitive Imaging Detector for Angiography (open access)

300-Element Silicon-Lithium Position-Sensitive Imaging Detector for Angiography

Silicon lithium-drifted (Si(Li)) detectors 150 mm long, 10 mm wide and 5 mm thick with 300 individual elements have been fabricated as imaging detectors for noninvasive studies of human coronary arteries using 33 keV x-rays from a synchrotron radiation beamline. This detector is an extension of earlier work on 30 mm long devices with initially 30 and later 60 elements. The detector fabrication details are discussed highlighting problems in uniform lithium-ion compensation. The device structure is examined and measurements on the interelement impedances presented. Finally an angiograph of the coronary arteries in an excised pig's heart obtained with this 300-element detector is presented. 14 refs., 6 figs.

18t Resistive Magnet Development. Conceptual Design Second Annual Report (open access)

18t Resistive Magnet Development. Conceptual Design Second Annual Report

This report documents the work performed on a normal conducting magnet during fiscal year 1985. Emphasis, during the study, was on refinement of the structural design and optimization of the coil current density distribution for either maximum field generation or minimum power consumption. The results have shown that one can generate a 4.4 tesla field using 6.14 megawatts or 3.1 tesla at 1.43 megawatts. The structural design has been modified to stiffen the outer turn of the conductor. The modification was confirmed to be structurally adequate by both analysis and test. 37 figs., 21 tabs.

3Q120 Low Gradient Behaviour (open access)

3Q120 Low Gradient Behaviour

Three 3Q120 magnets--representative of those in the AP 1 line--have been measured with a harmonics probe at MDTF at both low (0-48 A) and high (to >= 400 A). The intent of the measurements was to learn their behavior at the low gradients necessary to transport 8 Gev antiprotons back through the AP 1 line for injection into the Main Ring (and subsequently the superconducting ring--see Ref. 1). Many of the measurements have been preceded by remnant field biasing ramps to 148, 270, 295, or 405 amps to set the remnant field to a standard value. The measurement sequence is then 0,4,8,... 48 amperes (in 4 A steps). The amplitude vs current graph for 0-48 A is visually a straight line and can be fitted via linear regression to a straight line--obtaining a slope and intercept. The residual differences from a straight line can again be plotted vs current and can be reasonably well fit to a second degree polynomial. The smallest set of information that is necessary to tabulate for the operation of AP 1 quadrupoles is the set of currents that correspond to the desired focusing strengths as stipulated by the beam design. Given the parametrization described above, …

The intent of the measurements was to learn their behavior at the low gradients necessary to transport 8 Gev antiprotons back through the AP 1 line for injection into the Main Ring. This paper describes some aspects of the measurements that were not included in the main paper, in order to keep the size of the main report reasonably small. It includes as Appendix I a chronology of the measurements made and significant changes made to the measurement apparatus and analysis programs.

5f-band narrowing in UX/sub 3/B compounds: evidence from resonant photoemission. [X = Ru or Rh] (open access)

5f-band narrowing in UX/sub 3/B compounds: evidence from resonant photoemission. [X = Ru or Rh]

Resonant photoemission at the uranium 5d disorption edge has been used to determine the 5f emission in URu/sub 3/, URh/sub 3/, URu/sub 3/B, and URh/sub 3/B polycrystalline samples. The observed 5f band narrowing (from 2.0 to 1.5 eV as one goes from URu/sub 3/ to URu/sub 3/B, and from 2.8 to 1.1 eV for URh/sub 3/ and URh/sub 3/B respectively) is explained as due to a decrease in the f-d hybridization between uranium and rhodium (ruthenium) atoms.

Accelerators for heavy ion fusion (open access)

Accelerators for heavy ion fusion

Large fusion devices will almost certainly produce net energy. However, a successful commercial fusion energy system must also satisfy important engineering and economic constraints. Inertial confinement fusion power plants driven by multi-stage, heavy-ion accelerators appear capable of meeting these constraints. The reasons behind this promising outlook for heavy-ion fusion are given in this report. This report is based on the transcript of a talk presented at the Symposium on Lasers and Particle Beams for Fusion and Strategic Defense at the University of Rochester on April 17-19, 1985.

Aging degradation of cast stainless steel (open access)

Aging degradation of cast stainless steel

A program is being conducted to investigate the significance of in-service embrittlement of cast-duplex stainless steels under light-water reactor operating conditions. Data from room-temperature Charpy-impact tests for several heats of cast stainless steel aged up to 10,000 h at 350, 400, and 450/sup 0/C are presented and compared with results from other studies. Microstructures of cast-duplex stainless steels subjected to long-term aging either in the laboratory or in reactor service have been characterized. The results indicate that at least two processes contribute to the low-temperature embrittleent of duplex stainless steels, viz., weakening of the ferrite/austenite phase boundary by carbide precipitation and embrittlement of ferrite matrix by the formation of additional phases such as G-phase, Type X, or the ..cap alpha..' phase. Carbide precipitation has a significant effect on the onset of embrittlement of CF-8 and -8M grades of stainless steels aged at 400 or 450/sup 0/C. The existing correlations do not accurately represent the embrittlement behavior over the temperature range 300 to 450/sup 0/C. 18 refs., 13 figs.

Analysis of /sup 81/Kr in groundwater using laser resonance ionization spectroscopy (open access)

Analysis of /sup 81/Kr in groundwater using laser resonance ionization spectroscopy

A new analytical technique based on resonant ionization of krypton with a vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) laser source was used to determine low-level /sup 81/Kr concentrations in groundwater. The long half-life (210,000 years) and low concentration (1.3 x 10/sup 3/ /sup 81/Kr atoms per liter of modern water at 10/sup 0/C) make the detection of /sup 81/Kr by radioactive counting techniques extremely difficult. In this method, krypton gas was removed from water taken from an underground Swiss aquifer using standard cryogenic and chromatographic techniques. Stable krypton isotopes were then reduced by a factor of 10/sup 7/ by a two-stage isotopic enrichment cycle using a commercially available mass spectrometer. The enriched gas containing about 10/sup 8/ stable krypton atoms and about 10/sup 3/ atoms of /sup 81/Kr was implanted into a silicon disc. This disc was then placed in the high vacuum final counting chamber and the krypton was released by laser annealing. This chamber contained a quadrupole mass spectrometer which used a pulsed VUV laser source as the ionizer. The measured signal indicated that the sample contained 1200 (+-300) atoms of /sup 81/Kr.

Application of Hardy's multiquadric interpolation to hydrodynamics (open access)

Application of Hardy's multiquadric interpolation to hydrodynamics

Hardy's multiquadric interpolation (MQI) scheme is a global, continuously differentiable interpolation method for solving scattered data interpolation problems. It is capable of producing monotonic, extremely accurate interpolating functions, integrals, and derivatives. Derivative estimates for a variety of one and two-dimensional surfaces were obtained. MQI was then applied to the spherical blast wave problem of von Neumann. The numerical solution agreed extremely well with the exact solution. 17 refs., 3 figs., 2 tabs.

Assessment of the important radionuclides in nuclear waste (open access)

Assessment of the important radionuclides in nuclear waste

The relative importance of the various radionuclides contained in nuclear waste has been assessed by consideration of (1) the quantity of each radionuclide present, (2) the Environmental Protection Agency`s release limits for radionuclides, (3) how retardation processes such as solubility and sorption affect radionuclie transport, and (4) the physical and chemical forms of radionuclides in the waste. Three types of waste were reviewed: spent fuel, high-level waste, and defense high-level waste. Conditions specific to the Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations project potential site at Yucca Mountain were used to describe radionuclide transport. The actinides Am, Pu, Np, and U were identified as the waste elements for which solubility and sorption data were most urgently needed. Other important waste elements were identified as Sr, Cs, C, Ni, Zr, Tc, Th, Ra, and Sn. Under some conditions, radionuclides of three elements (C, Tc, and I) may have high solubility and negligible sorption. The potential for transport of some waste elements (C and I) in the gas phase must also be evaluated for the Yucca Mountain Site. 12 refs., 17 tabs.

Band structure of UO/sub 2/: an angle resolved and resonant photoemission study

A detailed study of angle resolved photoemission of UO/sub 2/ <100> in the normal emission configuration is presented. The results are compared to a semirelativistic LAPW band calculation with the actual calculated empty bands used in the data reduction. Excellent agreement is found with calculations both for filled states as well as critical points in the empty states with no adjustment of bands. f-p hybridization is found at the leading edge of the valence band and not at the bottom of the valence band. p-d hybridization is found throughout the valence bands.
