A Needle in a Haystack

Abstract: "Production of [rho]'s and [omega]'s in [pi]- + p and p + [letter p with a bar over it] interactions is discussed. The [rho] is presumably a J = 1-, 1 = 1 state and thus can decay into 2[pi]'s via a strong coupling. The [omega] is probably J = 1-, 1 = 0 which can also decay into 2[pi]'s via electromagnetic coupling. A theoretical description of this situation is presented in terms of coupled time-dependent Schroedinger equations which mix [rho] and [omega] states that are assumed to be isotopically pure at the time of production. The interference between the two resonances was found to have the effect of extending the 2[pi] spectrum toward the [omega] mass."

Summary Hazards Report on Enriched Fuel Element Loading for the BNL Research Reactor (open access)

Summary Hazards Report on Enriched Fuel Element Loading for the BNL Research Reactor

Report issued by the Brookhaven National Laboratory discussing a hazards report on replacing the research center's current fuel elements with new highly enriched elements. As stated in the introduction, "this report is a summary of the studies, both theoretical and experimental, which have been made so far of the nuclear properties of the "new" pile, of the stability of the new fuel elements, and of the safety and practicability of operation of the "new" pile" (p. 2). This report includes tables, and illustrations.

Studies of the Binding of Insulin to a Muscle Cell Membrane Preparation (open access)

Studies of the Binding of Insulin to a Muscle Cell Membrane Preparation

Recent studies suggest that the primary action of insulin is on the permeability of cell membranes. This idea may account for the effects of the hormone in broken cell preparations as well as in tissue preparations with intact cells if the concept of the cell membrane is broadened to include endoplasmic reticular extensions and the membranes of subcellular organelles. Following on the initial demonstration that insulin was bound to muscle and the elucidation of the structure of insulin, evidence was presented that this binding involves a sulfur-sulfur linkage between hormone and target tissue. In the present work, skeletal muscle cell ghosts were prepared for use in studying the chemical nature of the attachment of insulin to a relatively pure cell membrane preparation.

Synchrotron Oscillations (open access)

Synchrotron Oscillations

Some numerical calculations have been done which permit the deduction of many properties of the synchrotron oscillation problem. For the presentation of the numerical results, it is useful to review the formulation framework to which the results are to be fitted. These are worked out for an arbitrary circular accelerator. The algebra woud have to be modified slightly to include straight sections but the numerical results are still useful.
