Abscissas and Weights for Guassian Quadrature For N=2 to 100, and N-125, 150, 175, 200 (open access)

Abscissas and Weights for Guassian Quadrature For N=2 to 100, and N-125, 150, 175, 200

The abscissas and weights for Gaussian Quadrature of order N = 2 to 100,and N = 125, 150, 175, and 200 are given. The abscissas are given to twenty-four places and the error is estimated to be no more than 1 unit in the last place. The weights are given to twenty-three places and the error is estimated to be no more than 1 unit in the last place.

Acceleration of Deuterons or Alpha Particles in the AGS (open access)

Acceleration of Deuterons or Alpha Particles in the AGS

The magnetic field of the AGS ring can contain particles of magnetic rigidity about 34 Bv/c. This includes not only protons of kinetic energy 33 Bev, but also 32 Bev deuterons, 64 Bev alpha particles, and conceivably heavier nuclei such as 188 Bev carbon nuclei. It will be shown in this paper that such nuclei can be injected and accelerated in the AGS if some rather small modifications are made in the injection and acceleration systems. What physics could be done with such beams? Several types of experiments may be suggested. In the first place, since the deuteron is a rather loosely bound combination of a neutron and a proton, it is likely to break up when it hits a target nucleus (stripping reaction). In a considerable fraction of the collisions the neutron will go straight on with essentially unchanged energy (half the deuteron energy). Therefore, with an internal target bombarded by 30 Bev deuterons one should obtain an intense, rather well collimated and monochromatic beam of 15 Bev neutrons in the forward direction.

HAPO IB Fission Product Shipping Cask Design Evaluation Report (open access)

HAPO IB Fission Product Shipping Cask Design Evaluation Report

As a result of the interest in fission products for use as heat sources and/or radiation sources, in early 1960. Hanford was authorized to supply a semi-refined cerium-144 rare earth product to Oak Ridge National Laboratories. Facilities were installed for collecting this product and a cask war designed for shipping this product as a stabilized, dry powder. Since that time, numerous improvements have been made in the design of the HAPO I cask as described in Revision O of this document. In addition, the development of strontium-90 as a major product requires increased flexibility in the utilization of these casks.

The Boundary Layer Between a Plasma and a Magnetic Field - I (open access)

The Boundary Layer Between a Plasma and a Magnetic Field - I

"The problem of a steady boundary layer or sheath between a plasma and a magnetic field is considered. A self-consistent transition layer is found which joins a uniform magnetic field at plus infinity with a collisionless field-free plasma region with arbitrary velocity distribution at minus infinity, i.e., a magnetic field profile is found such that the exact particle orbits in this field produce a current which gives rise to this field. An interesting feature of the solution is that, with any nonsingular velocity distribution at minus infinity, the magnetic field the plasma extends to infinity, exponentially attenuated, into the magnetic field region. The scale of length is the Larmor radius. Electric fields arising from charge separation in the case of particles of different mass are ignored."
