Two Lectures on the Magnetic Scattering of Neutrons (open access)

Two Lectures on the Magnetic Scattering of Neutrons

In these lectures we will discuss some examples of information about magnetic properties of solids which can be obtained by neutron scattering. We consider a scattering process in which a neutron with wave vector k and spin σ is incident upon a solid in state q>. (Here q stands for all of the quantum numbers which describe the state of the solid, such as spin and orbital electronic states, phonon numbers, etc.) After interacting with the solid, the neutron goes off with wave-vector k' and spin σ', leaving the solid in state q'>. In performing an experiment of this sort one does not usually observe the initial and final spin states of the neutron or the initial and final states of the solid. We must then sum over all possible final states and average over all initial states.

Dose-survival Curves for HeLa Cell Cultures Using Thermal Neutrons and the B10 (n,α)Li7 Reaction (open access)

Dose-survival Curves for HeLa Cell Cultures Using Thermal Neutrons and the B10 (n,α)Li7 Reaction

The biological evaluation of the thermal neutron capture reaction of boron-10, B10 (n,α)Li7 + 2.786 MeV, has previously been studied, using different particles from the boron-10 thermal neutron capture reaction compared with 250 kvp x-rays has been reported as 1.05 for spleen-thymic weight reduction (1), as 1.5 to 2.0 for skin lesions in pigs (2), and 1.87 for skin lesions of the rabbit's ear (3). The significance of such a calculation is felt to be unreliable for the boron-10 reaction in animals because of the vagaries of dose determination resulting from irregular boron distribution, and by the presence of an adventitious irradiation from fast neutrons and capture gammas that is inadequately determined at present. Our present experiment attempts to circumvent the difficulties attendent to studies of the boron-10 reaction in animals by comparing the effect of this reaction on the proliferative capacity of HeLa cells with those produced with 250 kvp x-ray.

Biological Effects of Thermal Neutrons and the B10 (n,c) Li7 Reaction (open access)

Biological Effects of Thermal Neutrons and the B10 (n,c) Li7 Reaction

Boron-10 has a high thermal neutron capture cross section (3880 barns). Following neutron capture, the subsequent nuclear disintegration produces an alpha particle and a lithium-7 nucleus with the release of an average of 2.34 MeV for the particle irradiation, and in 93% of the reactions there is also the emission of an 0.48 MeV gamma ray: [equation not transcribed]. The kinetic energy is divided between the lithium-7 nucleus and the alpha particle giving the equal and opposite momentums with a range in tissue of about 8-14μ or approximately 1 cell diameter (1). This fact and the reported favorable partition of boron between tumor and the normal brain suggested a possible therapeutic usefulness which has been investigated clinically. The object of our study is to document the biological effects of the B10 (n,α) Li7 reaction on the brain of dogs injected with boron-10 30 minutes prior to irradiation with thermal neutrons. For this, we felt it desirable to estimate a dose for the boron-10 reaction which if exceeded, produces destruction of normal tissue. This dose could then be a reference dose to be utilized as a maximal limit for the irradiation of normal tissue. We have assured that the largest fluence …

The Use of Activated Charcoal Iodine Monitors During and Following a Release of Fission Product Iodines (open access)

The Use of Activated Charcoal Iodine Monitors During and Following a Release of Fission Product Iodines

The present core of the Brookhaven Graphite Reactor consists of some 4900 highly enriched uranium fuel loaded in 615 horizontal fuel channels passing through a 25 foot cube of graphite moderator and reflector. The core is divided into two halves (north and south) by an 8 cm. wide vertical gap in the center of the graphite. The cooling air enters the reactor through inlet filters, at the rate of 270,000 CFM, passes into the central gap and flows bi-directionally through the north and south halves of the core. It then enters the collecting plenums and flows into the north and south ducts. The air is first monitored by the north and south exit air monitors located within the pile building. These are moving filter tape monitors with beta scintillation detectors. They are essentially operational monitors and are maintained by reactor operations. They are essentially operational monitors and are maintained by a reactor operations. The air then passes through the exit air filters, heat exchanger, venturi and on to the fan house where the north and south ducts join. After the fan house the air is monitored by Argon-41 by a Kanne ion chamber syste.

Correlation of Kinetic Isotope Effects with Chemical Bonding in Three Center Reactions (open access)

Correlation of Kinetic Isotope Effects with Chemical Bonding in Three Center Reactions

We consider the kinetic isotope effect in three center reactions of the type of A+BC→AB+C. Such model calculations are a good approximation to primary hydrogen isotope effects. For abstraction or transfer reactions, B becomes H, D, or T. The dynamics of the three storm system are calculated for a general quadratic potential, with the assumption that the potential energy is constant along the reaction coordinate (flat top barrier). This model system can be calculated in detail and serves to illustrate the relationship between kinetic isotope effect and chemical bonding in the transition state. The statistical mechanical part of the calculation can be carried out exactly within the framework transition state theory or in any one of a number of approximations. The γ bar method gives particularly good insight into the chemistry of the problem with a minimum of arithmetic.

Effects of Irradiation on the Optical Absorption and Photoconductivity of Rutile (open access)

Effects of Irradiation on the Optical Absorption and Photoconductivity of Rutile

Optical absorption and photoconductivity measurements have been made on single crystals of pure synthetic rutile (TiO2). Reactor irradiations at 70°C totaling 4.8 x 10 18 nvt fast and 1.69 x10 19 nvt slow did not produce any discernible optical absorption bands; however, the transmission decreased 5 percent at all wavelengths. Reactor irradiation induced a [illegible] five photoconduction peaks in the wavelength range 4200 to 14,000 A. In addition the photopeak at 4065 A (3.05 eV) was enhanced and there were drastic changes in the dependence of photocurrent with light intensity. Gamma-ray irradiations as large as 10 9 r do not change the conduction properties. The photocurrent is proportional to a power of the light intensity; the power range from 0.65 to 1.24, for the crystals described in this work. The photocurrent vs. voltage dependence is more complex.

Some Considerations on the Configuration and Stability of the H2 Temperature Control Loops of the 80" Bubble Chamber (open access)

Some Considerations on the Configuration and Stability of the H2 Temperature Control Loops of the 80" Bubble Chamber

There is but little known about the thermal process involving the dynamics and thermodynamics of the cycling liquid H2 in the chamber and those of the H2 fluid flow in the cooling coil as well as the geometrical characteristics of the chamber body. This the physical equations governing this process are involving so many variables that this analysis becomes rather complex even if simplifying assumptions are made. To those difficulties is added the ignorance even of an approximative expression for some physical quantities such as film heat transfer coefficients entering as major parameters the process equation.

Design Consideration for 80" Bubble Chamber (open access)

Design Consideration for 80" Bubble Chamber

The following general description of the theory and operation of a bubble chamber is presented so that firms who are interested in fabricating components for the Brookhaven 80" chamber will have a better understanding of the design parameters associated with it. This understanding, coupled with the fabricator's knowledge of manufacturing techniques, should enable the fabricators to suggest solutions to manufacturing problems consistent with requirements for chamber operation. In an effort to increase knowledge of fundamental nuclear particles and their interactions at high energies, various types of detecting equipment have been developed. One of these detectors recently developed is the bubble chamber. While there are variations as to liquids used, expansion techniques, means of illumination, etc. the basic concepts upon which all bubble chambers operate are similar. Therefore, it will be sufficient in this report to consider only one specific type, that is a chamber using liquid hydrogen

80" Bubble Chamber Expansion System Preliminary Operating Procedures (open access)

80" Bubble Chamber Expansion System Preliminary Operating Procedures

These procedures are intended to be used for the initial operation of the expansion system and serve as a basis for a more complete and revised form to be written once operating experience has been gained. An attempt has been made to offer a logical and systematic presentation to facilitate operation and maintenance of the system by the operating personnel. Thus, the sequence of valve actuations has been presented in matrix and check list form to minimize errors; this also has the advantage of making it easier to adapt certain expansion system procedures to programmed control by a process control computer.
