This report is an outgrowth of the MURA Users' Conference of June 1959. At that conference the group on beam separators discussed the problem of whether particle separation could be achieved at the machine energies under consideration. A preliminary version of the scheme outlined here was given at the conference. Later, after flaws were discovered, it was modified. The attempt is not to show that this is the way it should be done, but to show with reasonable certainty that there is at least one way it can be done.

Abstract: "A simple solution to Saha's equation has been obtained. The method of solution involves iteration with respect to the electron pressure or concentration and can be applied to the simultaneous calculations of any number of ions. Sample results are given for lithium and aluminum."

Abstract: A study has been made of the source, acceleration, and neutralization of ions for application to space propulsion. A summary is made in this paper of some of the most important problems in this area and their solutions.

"In this paper the single particle motion in the magnetic field created by a circular array of circular current loops is investigated." (p. 3)

The following document was done under the auspices of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission with the intention of analyzing air core cryogenic magnet coils and its usage in fusion research and high energy nuclear physics applications.

Abstract: "Preliminary design and experimental work aimed toward fabrication of large magnet coils with encapsulated sodium conductors is outlined. Aspects of cooling cycles are discussed along with heat transfer, thermal stability, and the mechanical reinforcement of such coils."
