Chloromethyl chlorosulfate (CMCS) is used as a passive film growth inhibitor in electrochemical cells to minimize voltage delay and low-voltage discharge. Film growth on lithium anodes is significantly diminished when CMCS is added to SOCl{sub 2} and SO{sub 2}Cl{sub 2} electrolytes of lithium batteries. The CMCS also has the effect of extending the shelf-life of Li/SOCl{sub 2} and Li/SO{sub 2}Cl{sub 2} batteries.

Without a large number of new trims the best way to fix the closed orbits in the debuncher is to move quads. There are some obvious features in the vertical orbit, Figure 1, that look like they are indeed orbit distortions. The horizontal orbit, Figure 2, also has some systematic features that can be removed by moving a small number of quads. It is likely that removing these orbit distortions will help in improving the aperture. In addition, the second order effects of such large offsets in the closed orbit, like changes in phase advance due to the sextapoles, could improve operations.

We present work in progress on constructing rotations and boosts from bit strings, and a mapping of bit-strings onto integer quaternion coordinates.

This report is one of a series of CRS reports that examines lobbying and pressure group influence by foreign interests on US public policy.

The role of smoothly varying transverse gain and refraction profiles on x-ray laser intensity and coherence is analyzed by modally expanding the electric field within the paraxial approximation. Comparison with a square transverse profile reveals that smooth-edged profiles lead to: (1) a greatly reduced number of guided modes, (2) the continued cancellation of local intensity from a loosely guided mode by resonant free modes, (3) and the absence of extraneous (or anomalous) free mode resonances. These generic spectral properties should enable a considerable simplification in analyzing and optimizing the coherence properties of laboratory soft x-ray lasers. 6 refs., 3 figs.

A weekly publication, the Texas Register serves as the journal of state agency rulemaking for Texas. Information published in the Texas Register includes proposed, adopted, withdrawn and emergency rule actions, notices of state agency review of agency rules, governor's appointments, attorney general opinions, and miscellaneous documents such as requests for proposals. After adoption, these rulemaking actions are codified into the Texas Administrative Code.

The vacuum pumping of the CC Cryostat was anticipated to be dominated by a water vapor load. The Engineering Note 270, extrapolating from earlier experience, predicts the removal of water vapor will be the dominant pumping load and take ca. 45 days to remove at the pumping speed planned. Part of the planned pumping capability was a homemade, liquid nitrogen temperature, water vapor cryopump. This note describes the design, fabrication and performance experiences of the Cryopump described in the D0 assembly drawing 3740.514-ME-294693.
