Mass Spectrometer Studies of Ion Sources for One Shot AcceleratorTube (open access)

Mass Spectrometer Studies of Ion Sources for One Shot AcceleratorTube

A simple mass spectrometer using 60 degree focusing was set up to study the (illegible) of the ions produced by various types of sources. A schematic diagram of the apparatus is shown in Fig. 1, which is to a large extent self-explanatory. The isolation transformer was simply a piece of RG (illegible) cable about three feet long and was used in order to operate the source at high accelerating voltage allowing the collector to be at essentially ground potential. The collimating slits were 0.05 (illegible) wide and were space 4 (illegible-cm?) apart. The coarse slit immediately preceding the collector cup was 0.3 (illegible) wide. The electrometer was the integrating type which indicated the potential due to the charge collected on known capacitance. The vacuum tube voltmeter indicated the potential of the 0.5 (illegible) capacitor due to the total charge reaching the slit system. It thus served as a monitor of the source output for each firing. The neon lamp was a protection for the condenser against breakdown discharges of the tube.

Calculated and observed P-10 production in H-10 (open access)

Calculated and observed P-10 production in H-10

Recently three H-10 tubes (2,772, 2,176, 3,673) have been removed and the tritium and other gases have been extracted from the Z slugs. It is of interest to compare the calculated volumes of gases with the amounts obtained in these extractions. The comparison is given in this paper. The reasons for the large disagreement are not known at present. As pointed out below, the weakest part of the calculation is the knowledge of the exposure which these Z slugs have received. It is possible that some losses, particularly of tritium, occur during exposure and extraction. In view of these uncertainties, it does not appear likely that more 25 has been burnt up per unit of tritium than has been previously estimated.
