This paper describes electron emission following the autoionization of doubly excited states in Be-like ions. The Be-like Auger states are produced by two electron capture in slow C{sup 4+}, O{sup 6+} and Ne{sup 8+} ions. These measurements were performed by means of high resolution Auger electron spectroscopy on different target gases and at different projectile energies. Line assignments and relative cross sections are given for the investigated doubly excited states and the excitation mechanism is discussed. 15 refs., 16 figs., 4 tabs.

Three lines of work have been completed since our previously submitted proposal. These are: spectroscopy of Ce{sup 3+} {minus} Na{sup +} pairs in CaF{sub 2} and SrF{sub 2}, photoionization studies of Sm{sup 2+}, Eu{sup 2+} and Yb{sup 2+} in CaF{sub 2} and SrF{sub 2}; and infrared-detected two-photon spectroscopy of MgO:Ni{sup 2+}, and other two-photon spectroscopy studies. These are discussed in this report.

Residual stresses in delta plutonium can be measured by the x-ray diffractometer method. This was accomplished with the aid of an experimental tantalum x-ray target. Preliminary experiments are encouraging and indicate that stresses may be determined precisely and rapidly. Future work will involve determination of x-ray elastic constants, instrument calibration with stress-free standards, higher x-ray power and more sophisticated monochromatization methods. 4 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.

Accurate branch-prediction is necessary to utilize deeply pipelined and Very Long Instruction-Word (VLIW) architectures. For a set of program traces we show the upper limits on branch predictability, and hence machine utilization, for important classes of branch-predictors using static (compiletime) and dynamic (runtime) program information. A set of optimal superpredictors'' is derived from these program traces. These optimal predictors compare favorably with other proposed methods of branch-prediction. 3 refs., 5 figs., 12 tabs.

A mathematical model is presented to describe the part voltage and weld current that occur in a single-phase resistance welder. Developing an accurate model of part voltage and current is the first step toward understanding instrumentation, testing, calibration, and measurement requirements. Measurement requirements for dynamic part resistance, calculated from these basic process variables, can ultimately be determined using this analysis. This model utilizes electrical characteristics of the welder, power system, and parts, as well as geometric parameters of voltage-sensing wires to describe the resultant time functions. The complete equivalent circuit involves many resistive and inductive components in the welder primary and secondary circuits. These components are reduced to a simple equivalent circuit to obtain a closed-form solution for part voltage and weld current time functions. Actual measurements were acquired from a welder using a constant resistance load to verify accuracy of the model. Accuracy of the model is estimated to be within the measurement uncertainty and is, in general, approximately {plus minus}3% for current and {plus minus}5% for part voltage. Pertinent limitations of the model's accuracy and range of applications are also discussed briefly. 28 refs., 10 figs.
