Construction techniques for short iron-free dipole magnets (open access)

Construction techniques for short iron-free dipole magnets

A method was developed for economically fabricating short, wire-wound, steering magnets with maximum length, cosine-distributed, axial elements. This method utilizes multifunctional tooling to precisely flat-wind two-layer dipole halves that are subsequently reformed and encapsulated into semicylindrical form with confinement of the end turns into thin, half discs normal to the magnet axis. This paper addresses the magnet fabrication in detail, highlighting the inherent quality control features of the tooling, overall construction costs, and contemplated manufacturing enhancements.

Mirror Advanced Reactor Study (MARS) final report summary (open access)

Mirror Advanced Reactor Study (MARS) final report summary

The Mirror Advanced Reactor Study (MARS) has resulted in an overview of a first-generation tandem mirror reactor. The central cell fusion plasma is self-sustained by alpha heating (ignition), while electron-cyclotron resonance heating and negative ion beams maintain the electrostatic confining potentials in the end plugs. Plug injection power is reduced by the use of high-field choke coils and thermal barriers, concepts to be tested in the Tandem Mirror Experiment-Upgrade (TMX-U) and Mirror Fusion Test Facility (MFTF-B) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

Novel neutralized-beam intense neutron source for fusion technology development (open access)

Novel neutralized-beam intense neutron source for fusion technology development

We describe a neutralized-beam intense neutron source (NBINS) as a relevant application of fusion technology for the type of high-current ion sources and neutral beamlines now being developed for heating and fueling of magnetic-fusion-energy confinement systems. This near-term application would support parallel development of highly reliable steady-state higher-voltage neutral D/sup 0/ and T/sup 0/ beams and provide a relatively inexpensive source of fusion neutrons for materials testing at up to reactor-like wall conditions. Beam-target examples described incude a 50-A mixed D-T total (ions plus neutrals) space-charge-neutralized beam at 120 keV incident on a liquid Li drive-in target, or a 50-A T/sup 0/ + T/sup +/ space-charge-neutralized beam incident on either a LiD or gas D/sub 2/ target with calculated 14-MeV neutron yields of 2 x 10/sup 15//s, 7 x 10/sup 15//s, or 1.6 x 10/sup 16//s, respectively. The severe local heat loading on the target surface is expected to limit the allowed beam focus and minimum target size to greater than or equal to 25 cm/sup 2/.

RYLLA. [X-ray transport code] (open access)

RYLLA. [X-ray transport code]

This paper describes a computer code, RYLLA, which models the deposition of x-rays into thin metal slabs, and transports the resulting photoelectrons, finding the distribution of electrons leaving the slab from both the front and back surfaces. The slab must be homogeneous, but can contain a mixture of up to 5 different elements. Due to the short electron mean free path at low electron energies, RYLLA should be used only for studying thin slabs, roughly < 100 mg/cm/sup 2/ for low Z metals, and < 10 mg/cm/sup 2/ for high Z metals. X-ray energies should be in the range of 1 to 150 keV, as they are deposited only via photoionization and Compton scattering processes. Following photoionization, a hole exists in the electron cloud of the absorbing atom. This fills either by Auger or fluoresence, resulting in lower energy holes which are also filled. Fluoresence photons are transported and absorbed in the same manner as the primary photons, except that they are isotropically produced. Once all photons have been transported and absorbed, and all holes have been filled, a space- and energy-dependent electron source spectrum has been obtained. This is used in a discrete ordinate expansion solution of the 1-D …

Advanced high-field coil designs: 20 TESLA

This study of the technology required for producing large high-field coils has shown that, with some extensions to our present technological base, feasible designs are achievable. The resulting magnets could well make a paramount contribution to the national mirror-fusion endeavor.

Monte Carlo study of inclusive W/sup +/ production at CBA (open access)

Monte Carlo study of inclusive W/sup +/ production at CBA

The UA1 and UA2 experiments at the CERN SPS anti pp collider observed several events which they have interpreted to be the leptonic decay of the charged intermediate vector boson, W/sup +-/ + e/sup +-/nu. All of these events have an electron with large transverse momentum and large mission transverse energy. The experiments had remarkably little background in the region of large transverse momentum of the electron (P/sub Te/). In this report we examine the possibility of doing a high statistics experiment producing several million W's per year. Large statistics are necessary to obtain a precise measurement of the W/sup +/ mass and of the Z/sup 0/-W mass difference. We use the Jacobian peak in the electron P/sub T/ distribution to obtain the W/sup +/mass. We examine in detail the P/sub T/ distribution of the electron produced by the leptonic decay of the W/sup +/ ..-->.. e/sup +/nu. We investigate backgrounds to this reaction from the pileup of minimum bias events, from leading ..pi../sup 0/s in light quark jets simulating electrons and from the decay of heavy quark jets producing electrons.
