Recently a T = 1 resonance in the {Lambda}{pi} system called Y*{sub 1} has been observed with a mass of 1385 Mev. Two types of resonances have been predicted that might relate this observation to other elementary-particle interactions: (1) P 3/2 resonances in the {Lambda}{pi} and {Sigma}{pi} systems predicted by global symmetry corresponding to the (3/2, 3/2) resonance of the {pi}N system; (2) a spin-1/2 Y-{pi} resonance resulting from a bound state in the KN system. The position and width of the observed Y*{sub 1} resonance agree with both theories, but since the spin and parity have not yet been determined, it is impossible at present to distinguish between the two theoretical interpretations.

Irradiation of a third thermocouple train with a thermocouple element of the same design as used on the previous two trains, but with different train design and heater elements, is authorized to an exposure no greater than 1000 MWD/T. A third decontamination of KER-1 is also authorized.

Tables are given for revised constants in the optimization model for charge-discharge rates, tube replacement rate, non-power-exposure- associated loss (EMISC), hours lost per rupture, and ruptured slug removal time in the reactors B, C, D, DR, F, H, KE, and KW.

Incremental couples at 10% intervals across the U-Nb binary system were prepared and diffused. Irradiation damage of nickel single crystals bombarded with 3-Mev electrons from a Van de Graaff generator were studied by Kossel line techniques. It was concluded that most defects anneal out below room temperature and all anneal out below 400 deg C. The cold-rolled texture of tantaium is described by (200) and (110) pole figures. This texture may be approximated by the ideal orientations, {112} <011>, {100{ <011>, and {111} <112>. The directionality of Young's modulus, yield strength, and tensile strengih of tantalum is also presented. The effects of thermal gradients on the transformation kinetics and diffusion in U--10 wt.% Mo were investigated. The alloy U(Fe,Mn) was found to be paramagnetic from 480 to 10 deg K. The remanent magnetization of hematite along particular directions in the (111) plane and along the STA111! direction of a rectangular prism was measured during a complete cycle of temperature chsnge between 488 and 77 deg K. The remanent-temperature relationship snd the thermal hysteresis effect were also measured. The concept of space filling was developed for presenting geometrical relationships of different crystal structures. The structure of the pseudo-binary system ReTi/sub 2/--TiSi/sub …

Recently a T=1 resonance in the [Alpha w] system called [Y*1] has been observed with a mass of 1385 Mev. Two types of resonances have been predicted that might relate this observation to other elementary-particle interactions: (1) P 3/2 resonances in the Alpha w and Sigma w systems predicted by global symmetry corresponding to the (3/2, 3/2) resonance of the wN system, (2) a spin-1/2 Y-w resonance resulting from a bound state in the KN system. The position and width of the observed [Y*1] resonance agree with both theories but since the spin and parity have not yet been determined, it is impossible at present to distinguish between the two theoretical interpretations.
