An extensive program was undertaken to investigate the effect of several geometric variables on the performance of two-dimensional inlets. This investigation included inlets having single-wedge, double-wedge, and isentropic compression ramps with various side-plate configurations and subsonic diffusers. The tests were conducted over a range of Reynolds number based on inlet height from 0.50 to 2.67(sup x)10(sup 6). Generally, the performance levels of the two-dimensional inlets were somewhat below those obtained previously with comparable axisymmetric models. At Mach number 3.05 the optimum total-pressure recovery was obtained with an isentropic inlet which compressed the external flow to a Mach number of 1.88. Rectangular side plates and a long high-exit-Mach-number subsonic diffuser with filleted corners were used with this inlet. A critical total-pressure recovery of 0.71 was realized with a corresponding mass-flow ratio of 0.965. Subcritical stability to a mass-flow ratio of 0.60 was obtained.

Report presenting the effects of a straightening operation on the life of Inconel 500 buckets in a J33-9 engine. Results regarding engine performance and bucket-failure mechanism are provided.

Report presenting the typical effects of flow distortions on turbojet-engine performance and how flow distortions can be reduced by reducing the distortion entering the inlet diffuser and by improving the amount of mixing that generally occurs in the subsonic diffuser. Sources of distortion in the supersonic inlet are described and steps are suggested that might be taken to reduce their effects.

Report presenting the achievement of supersonic inlet stabilization for Mach numbers up to approximately 2.0 by careful consideration of the possible buzz-triggering conditions. Results regarding the inlet flow-stabilization techniques, variable-geometry techniques for stable flow regulation, and effect of turbojet engine on inlet stability are provided.

An event is described that is interpreted as evidence for the simultaneous production of a {theta}{sup 0} and a {bar {theta}}{sup 0} according to the scheme of Gell-Mann and Pais. This interpretation assumes the production of a normal {theta}{sup 0} and a K{sup 0} with no associated hyperon, where the {theta}{sup 0} is observed and the K{sup 0} is inferred from the rule of associated production of heavy unstable particles. The event was obtained by exposing a high-pressure diffusion cloud chamber to a 4. 5-Bev/c {pi}{sup -} meson beam from the Bevatron.

From introduction: The purpose of an airborne radioactivity survey is to locate ground areas of higher than normal radioactivity which might lead to discovery of uranium mineralization. For this type of survey, gamma-ray detection equipment employing either a geiger counter or a scintillation counter can be mounted in a fixed wing aircraft or a helicopter.

Quarterly report which includes brief summaries of research studies related to technology materials and accelerator testing.

The analysis shows that a symmetrical three-dee cyclotron accelerating ions below relativistic velocities has the property that ions of different e/m rations can be accelerated without changing the frequency of the electrical power supplied to the dees or the value of the magnetic field. The energy gain per revolution of the ions which can be accelerated in the various modes are found, considering three identical dees of arbitrary angular widths. For these calculations it has been assumed that a step-function voltage change occurs at each edge of the dees.
