A Determination of the Bothe Depression Factor for Discs in Water (open access)

A Determination of the Bothe Depression Factor for Discs in Water

The purpose of this work is to determine experimentally the depression of the neutron density by a detecting foil. The depression factor is known as the "self-shading" of the foil.

Variational Wave Function for Sodium (open access)

Variational Wave Function for Sodium

The practical method of applying the variation principle to the calculation of the energy of an atom demands a trial function which contains variable parameters. The previous work done using this approach was based on the use of some combination of hydrogenic wave functions containing parameters inserted in appropriate places. The present calculation of the energy of the eleven-electron atom has been brought about using this method.

Gamma Ray Response of a CsI(T1) Crystal to 14 Mev Neutrons (open access)

Gamma Ray Response of a CsI(T1) Crystal to 14 Mev Neutrons

The purpose of this paper is to study the possible excited states in the nucleus of Cs133. At North Texas State College a 100-Kev Cockcroft-Walton accelerator has been constructed for use as a neutron source for exciting various nuclei and for studying the gamma spectra obtained to determine their energy levels.

Quaternion Representation of Crystal Point Groups (open access)

Quaternion Representation of Crystal Point Groups

The physical behavior of crystalline solids is very closely related to the internal symmetry of the crystal structure. For this reason it is desirable to represent mathematically this symmetry in such a way that the actual physical problems can be handled as they arise. In the case of this thesis the research has been guided by a list of desired properties for such a representation. No claim is made that the list is complete.
