Interview with Lester C. Rasbury, a Texas National Guard WWII veteran and POW from Decatur, Texas. Rasbury discusses his experiences as a captured member of 2nd Battalion, 131st Field Artillery (the "Lost Battalion"), including: joining the service and training; the Louisiana Maneuvers; deployment to East Asia in 1941; diversion from the Philippines to Brisbane after December 7th; assignment to Malang, Java; the Japanese attack and American surrender; internment and labor at Tanjong Priok and Bicycle Camp in Batavia, Changi Camp in Singapore, Thanbyuzayat and several camps on the Burma "Death" Railway, and Tamarkan; liberation.

1/2/Sup +/. -->. 1/2/Sup -/ Beta Decay of /Sup 19/Ne and the Parity Nonconserving Nn Force (open access)

1/2/Sup +/. -->. 1/2/Sup -/ Beta Decay of /Sup 19/Ne and the Parity Nonconserving Nn Force

A branching ratio of (1.20 +- 0.20) x 10/sup -4/ is obtained for the ..beta../sup +/ decay of /sup 19/Ne to the 110 keV 1/2/sup -/ level of /sup 19/F. This transition (presumably dominated by the ..delta..J/sup ..pi../ = 0/sup -/ axial charge operator) provides a crucial test of wavefunctions used in interpreting the parity mixing of the ground and 110 keV levels of /sup 19/F. These wavefunctions, which yield a parity mixing larger than that observed experimentally, also predict too large a ..beta../sup +/ decay rate.

16. 3 eV neutron capture in /sup 107/Ag: nuclear structure of /sup 108/Ag. [Transitions, J correlations,. pi. ] (open access)

16. 3 eV neutron capture in /sup 107/Ag: nuclear structure of /sup 108/Ag. [Transitions, J correlations,. pi. ]

The ..gamma.. rays from neutron capture in the 0- resonance of /sup 107/Ag at 16.3 eV were studied. Thirteen primary transitions populate spin 1 levels in /sup 108/Ag below an energy of 1.5 MeV. Transitions from low lying levels change in intensity by as much as a factor of 2 between thermal neutron capture (largely spin 1) and the 0- resonance, indicating a strong correlation of the population with level spin. 7 references.

30-MJ superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) unit for stabilizing an electric transmission system (open access)

30-MJ superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) unit for stabilizing an electric transmission system

Electric power systems that have major loads and generation centers separated by large distances may experience low-frequency power oscillations. This type of oscillation has occurred on the Pacific ac intertie that connects southern California and the Pacific Northwest. A separate, almost parallel, dc-transmission line also connects these areas. The Bonneville Power Administration, which operates this transmission system, has overcome the instability by controlling the power transmitted on the dc-transmission line. A 30-MJ (8.4-kWh) superconducting magnetic energy storage unit with a 10-MW converter could also provide damping for this instability. The conceptual design of the 30-MJ coil and the cryogenic and electrical components of the system are described. The system is to operate at a maximum current of 5 kA and will modulate the ac Intertie at 0.35 Hz. Discharge will be controlled to retain a minimum stored energy of 20 MJ to limit cyclic strains in the coil and ac losses in the conductor. The conductor will be made of multistrand-copper and copper-matrix, multifilament NbTi superconducting wires on a stainless steel mandrel.

2XIIB plasma confinement experiments (open access)

2XIIB plasma confinement experiments

This paper discusses results of plasma-confinement experiments in the 2XIIB magnetic mirror device. We report experiments attempting to achieve field-reversal using neutral-beam injection in which the central magnetic field is reduced by 90% but field lines are not closed. Experiments with different neutral-beam aiming show that at constant beta both electron temperature and the energy-confinement parameter (n tau) increase at larger radius. Finally, we discuss recent improvements in electron temperature and microinstability measurements.
