14 MeV neutron work at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (open access)

14 MeV neutron work at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

The 14 MeV neutron work at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) covers two main areas of interest to this Symposium: (1) measurements and calculations of differential cross sections; and (2) integral measurements of the neutron and gamma emission spectra. In both areas a large number of materials have been studied, spanning a wide mass range (6 < A < 239), of interest to fusion and hybrid reactors. In this presentation a brief description of the experimental techniques and calculational analysis is given for each of the above areas and the measured and calculated cross sections are discussed. 28 refs., 7 figs., 3 tabs.

Accelerator physics experiments at Aladdin (open access)

Accelerator physics experiments at Aladdin

The Aladdin accelerator is a 1 GeV synchrotron light source located at the University of Wisconsin. The results of experimental studies of the Aladdin accelerator are described. The primary purpose of the experiments reported was to investigate reported anomalies in the behavior of the linear lattice, particularly in the vertical plane. A second goal was to estimate the ring broadband impedance. Experimental observations and interpretation of the linear properties of the Aladdin ring are described, including the beta function and dispersion measurements. Two experiments are described to measure the ring impedance, the first a measurement of the parasitic mode loss, and the second a measurement of the beam transfer function. Measurements of the longitudinal and transverse emittance at 100 and 200 MeV are described and compared with predictions. 10 refs., 24 figs., 2 tabs. (LEW)

Adsorption of energy in photocatalytic reactors (open access)

Adsorption of energy in photocatalytic reactors

The dissociation of water to hydrogen and oxygen requires energy ..delta..G/sub 298/ = 228 kJ/mole. By irradiating a semiconductor with light of energy greater than this amount, one may produce electrons in the excited state and electron vacancies at the surface that can perform the photochemical reduction (2H/sup +/ + 2e/sup -/ ..-->.. 2H ..-->.. H/sub 2/) and oxidation (20H/sup -/ + 2/sup +/ ..-->.. H/sub 2/O/sub 2/ ..-->.. H/sub 2/O + (1/2)O/sub 2/). There are several semiconductors, SrTiO/sub 3/, TiO/sub 2/, CdS, and Fe/sub 2/O/sub 3/ among them, that can photodissociate water. Some possess sites for both reduction and oxidation, while others carry out the two processes at different surfaces. A reversible solid state reaction that involves changes in the transition metal and ion oxidation state must accompany the splitting of water. Platinum, rhodium, and ruthenium oxide, when deposited on the semiconductor, serve as catalysts that accelerate the water photodissociation. These additives accelerate the recombination of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, shift the semiconductor Fermi level to a more favorable position that improves the thermodynamic feasibility for the process, accelerate electron transport, and inhibit side reactions like the photoreduction of oxygen. Many of the elementary reaction steps leading to photoproduction …

Ambient Pressure Effects on the Sputter Particle Distribution of Insulating Materials (open access)

Ambient Pressure Effects on the Sputter Particle Distribution of Insulating Materials

The effect of ion bombardment on several grades of alumina was investigated. Changes in the electrical resistance of the substrate as a function of incoming ion energy were of particular interest. Attention was also paid to the sputter particle distribution as a function of ambient pressure. This distribution was found to be dependent on the ion to substrate mass ratio. In general, the distribution follows a curve of growth; approximating a cosine distribution at the lower pressures and mass ratio, becoming isotropic at higher pressures. Pressures in the range of 10/sup -2/ to 10/sup -4/ Pascals have been used along with mass ratios in the range of 0.40 to 1.3. Samples of up to 80 cm/sup 2/ were subjected to a 10 cm diameter ion beam at energies of up to 6.25 keV. Average ion current densities of 1ma/cm/sup 2/ were used. Substrate temperatures while subjected to the ion beam were also monitored.

Assessment of near-surface dissolution at and near the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP), southeastern New Mexico (open access)

Assessment of near-surface dissolution at and near the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP), southeastern New Mexico

The area at and near the WIPP site was examined for evidence of karst development on the geomorphic surface encompassing the site. Certain surficial depressions of initial concern were identified as blowouts in sand dune fields (shallow features unrelated to karstification). An ancient stream system active more than 500,000 yr ago contained more water than any system since. During that time (Gatuna, Middle Pleistocene), many karst features such as Clayton Basin and Nash Draw began to form in the region. Halite was probably dissolved from parts of the Rustler Formation at that time. Dissolution of halite and gypsum from intervals encountered in Borehole WIPP-33 west of the WIPP site occurred during later Pleistocene time (i.e., <450,000 yr ago). However, there is no evidence of active near-surface dissolution within a belt to the east of WIPP-33 in the vicinity of the WIPP shaft. 26 refs., 11 figs., 1 tab.

Bioenergetics of Juvenile Salmon During the Spring Outmigration, 1983 Annual Report. (open access)

Bioenergetics of Juvenile Salmon During the Spring Outmigration, 1983 Annual Report.

Main stem reservoirs in the Columbia River Basin may have increased the energy demands of smolts during outmigration by prolonging migration and exposing smolts to seasonally rising water temperatures. A bioenergetic model for spring chinook salmon smolts (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) is being developed to test these hypotheses. Results have thus far indicated that the seaward migration can be separated into two distinct phases. Phase I can be described as a period of intense smolt development in which there was a post hatchery release surge in gill Na/sup +/-K/sup +/ ATPase activity, depletion of energy available in body lipids, and a concurrent decline in caloric density. Phase II was characterized by maintenence of smolt status in apparent anticipation of reaching the estuary. Phase II is the period most affected by impoundments and annual changes in water flow; the latter period will therefore be modeled in bioenergetic simulations. Laboratory and field observations provided input parameters for the model and empirical data to verify model simmulations. Total calories, caloric density, proximate body composition, ration, and caloric intake were determined in smolts as seaward migration progressed. The effect of swimming and starvation on energy reserves and seawater survival were determined in the laboratory. Fatty acid …

Biological trace element measurements using synchrotron radiation (open access)

Biological trace element measurements using synchrotron radiation

The feasibility of performing x-ray fluorescence trace element determinations at concentrations substantially below the ppM level for biological materials is demonstrated. Conditions for achieving optimum sensitivity were ascertained. Results achieved for five standard reference materials were, in most cases, in excellent agreement with listed values. Minimum detectable limits of 20 ppM were measured for most elements.

Bounce-averaged Fokker-Planck code for stellarator transport (open access)

Bounce-averaged Fokker-Planck code for stellarator transport

A computer code for solving the bounce-averaged Fokker-Planck equation appropriate to stellarator transport has been developed, and its first applications made. The code is much faster than the bounce-averaged Monte-Carlo codes, which up to now have provided the most efficient numerical means for studying stellarator transport. Moreover, because the connection to analytic kinetic theory of the Fokker-Planck approach is more direct than for the Monte-Carlo approach, a comparison of theory and numerical experiment is now possible at a considerably more detailed level than previously.

Brightness, coherence, and propagation characteristics of synchrotron radiation (open access)

Brightness, coherence, and propagation characteristics of synchrotron radiation

A formalism is presented by means of which the propagation and imaging characteristics of synchrotron radiation can be studied, taking into account the effects of diffraction, electron beam emittance, and the transverse and longitudinal extent of the source. An important quantity in this approach is the Wigner distribution of the electric fields, which can be interpreted as a phase-space distribution of photon flux, and thus can be identified with the brightness. When integrated over the angular variables, the brightness becomes the intensity distribution in the spatial variables and when integrated over the spatial variables, it becomes the intensity distribution in angular variables. The brightness so defined transforms through a general optical medium in exactly the same way as in the case of a collection of geometric rays. Finally, the brightness of different electrons adds in a simple way. Optical characteristics of various synchrotron radiation sources - bending magnets, wigglers and undulators, are analyzed using this formalism.
