Physics Division Summary Report for December 1960
The operating principle of the tandem Van de Graaff accelerator is discussed. The use and operation of the 4.5Mev Van de Graaff generator are described. An upper limit was set for the observed mean life of the first excited atate of Ca/sup 43/ and a lower limit was set for the partial mean life for decay by E2 transition from the same state. Groups of delayed neutrons from N/sup 17/ precursors were observed at energies of 1.225 and 0.425 Mev, corresponding to BETA decay to 3/2- atates in Oil in agreement with the shell model. An investigation is reported of the fragmentation of benzene and ethylene with high-energy electrons. The plasma research program is described. The major research described is an experimental study of basic propenties of plasmas produced in homogeneous high-frequency electric fields at low pressure. The doublet splittings in He/sup 5/, N/sup 15/, and Oil (closed shells plus or minus one nucleon) are adequately explained in terms of the combination of the second- order effect due to the tensor force and the firat-order effect due to the L-S potential.

Recording Equipment for Internal Friction Measurements
An apparatus was developed for recording internal friction data in such a manner as to circumvent many of the laborious and time-consuming observations and calculations usually associated with these measurements. An optical lever is used and the passage of the beam across the scale is detected by photoconductive cells. The cells are strategically located so that, when their signals are fed through a multichannel switching circuit to the pens of an operation recorder, a plot of the logarithm of the vibrational amplitude versus the number of cycles is recorded on the chart. From the definitmon of the logarithmic decrement, ( delta ), it can be shown that the slope of this curve is - delta . The apparatus is inexpensive and requires a minimum of maintenance. It has been used for accurate determinations of values of delta from below 0.0001 up to 0.3. (auth)

SNAP Programs. Quarterly Progress Report No. 3 for April 1 through June 30, 1960
Design studies were made for the cooling, shielding, and electrical- control support systems required for the testing of the isotope-fueled 125-w generator in a hot-cell facility. A ceric oxide fuel containing 10 wt.% SiC exhibited suitable burn-up characteristics in simulated postorbital re-entry heating conditions. Inconel X was selected as the fuelcontainment material. Negative pitch angle injections were evaluated for the injection-stage flight vehicle. The second electrically heated 125-w generator was assembled and prepared for checkout. A successful reproducible process for bonding the p element was developed in which GeTe was furnace melted into an iron shoe and a spring-loaded element was bonded to the shoe in an induction furnace. The p element contact resistance was 0.1 milliohm. The maximum output on the first generator was measured as 78.2 w. Measurements were stopped when power output deteriorated to 28.8 w. An inspection showed that oxidation due to insufficient reducing atmosphere at the hot junction contacts was the cause. Parametric thermoelectric generator performance tests were conducted in which the internal gas pressure was varied from 0 to 1.5 atm. and the external pressure was either 1 atm. or a vacuum. The fabrication, operation, and penformance of cesium diodes were studied. The effect …

SNAP Programs. Quarterly Progress Report No. 4 for July 1 through September 30, 1960. Subtask 5.3 and Task 6
Generator 2A the design of which was completed last quarter, was fabricated and electrically tested. The generator met all significant design requirements with the exception of the collector work function. During the preparations for environmental tests one of the leadthroughs falled. Metallographic examination revealed that it is necessary to make some design revisions of the leadthrough. Generator 2A was an experimental unit which led to the design of generator 2B. Specifically, the conclusions obtained from 2A confirmed certain processing methods applicable to future units. The latter unit includes provisions for remote control fueling, and its operation should attain anticipated performance characteristics (P/sub o/, w, T/sub e/, T/sub c/ and life). Critical areas of design, construction, and processing of 2B include the facillty for remote control fueling, the attainment of close interelectrode spacing and low collector work function, and the achievement of a rugged genenator. Accordingly, a vigorous theoretical and experimental approach was undertaken. A life test on generator lA was initiated and over 2100 hr of operating time was accumulated. The emitter was not aged prior to incorporation into the generator; as a result, the evaporation of barium from the emitter eventually reduced the diode internal resistance to the point …

SNAP Programs. Quarterly Progress Report No. 5, October 1-December 31, 1960
The procedure for fueling a thermionic generator with Cm/sup 242/ heat source was evaluated. Aspects stressed in development of generator 2B include generator ability to withstand statement of work specified dynamic loads, interelectrode spacing reduction, collector work function reduction, and heat loss reduction. A collector work function of 2.0 volts was achieved at 900 deg K in an activation test unit built to observe heat transfer between heater and emitter. Fuel technology development was centered around Cm/sup 242/ and Pu/sup 238/ >s. (J.R.D.)

SNAP Programs. Thermionic Isotopic Power Systems. Quarterly Progress Report No. 6, January 1 Through March 31, 1961
Progress in thermionic technology necessary for the development of power supplies utilizing radioisotopes as heat sources is reviewed. An investigation was made of the characteristics of cesium-filled thermionic converters operating in the low temperature region. Parametric studies were made of the cesium diode with a tantalum emitter and no back emission and operational characteristics were determined in the collision-free region. Work was continued on the vacuum diode generator, with emphasis on the development of Generator 2B. Several significant design changes were made. The sapphire spacer rods were replaced by a peripheral ring support to provide the desired inter-electrode spacing. Preliminary tests indicated that the use of an oxidized molybdenum collector may be sn effective way of attaining and maintaining a collector work function less than 1.9 volts. Studies were began to design an encapsulated Cm/sup 2//sup 4//sup 2/ heat source suitable for fueling the vacuum diode generator. Materials selected to be evaluated for the fuel container were molybdenum, tungsten, and tantalum alloys. (M.C.G.)

SNAP Radioisotope Space Programs, Task 2, 3 and 7, Quarterly Progress Report No. 5, October 1 Through December 31, 1960
Functional testing was completed on the ground handling equipment for transporting the Ce/sup 144/ heat source container and loading the SNAP 1A generator. Mercury shield fill and drain tests for the generator system and the collar shield were conducted. Heat-transfer tests of the isotope heat source shipping cask were conducted. Simulated rocket-launch environmental tests of vibration, acceleration, and shock were completed on the G-2 generator. Analysis of the environmental test data was initiated. Final dssign studies for the G-3 generator were completed, and a thermoelectric module concept was selected for use in the isotope-fueled generator. Development tests of thermoelectric modules in a module tester were initiated. Voltage breakdown tests were conducted on a porcelain enamel spray coat. The matenial was evaluated for application to the G- 3 generator inner skin as a possible second discrete barrier against hot junction electrical shorts. SNAP 3 generator 3M-1G10 completed 322 days of life test operation, and the power input was terminated after the generator was operated under a full range of external loads to obtain performance characteristics. Electrical power output after 322 days at steady-state heat source and external load conditions was 1.92 watts, for an over-all efficiency of 2.9%. Tear-down inspection of …
