Elastic Scattering of 190 MEV Deuterons by Protons (open access)

Elastic Scattering of 190 MEV Deuterons by Protons

The elastic differential scattering cross section of 190 MeV deuterons by protons has been measured from 15 degrees to 170 degrees in the center of mass system. The cross sections were obtained by subtracting the carbon counts from those received with a polyethylene target. Part I presents a description of the experiments. Results are shown in Table IV and Fig. 3. Part II compares these results with those expected from theory by making use of a method developed by Chew. A summary of this comparison is given in Table VII.

Investigation of a Ram-Jet-Powered Helicopter Rotor on the Langley Helicopter Test Tower

Report discussing tests on a helicopter rotor powered by ram-jet engines located at the rotor blade tips. Information about the basic hovering characteristics of the rotor and the propulsive characteristics of the ram-jet engine were obtained over a range of speeds and fuel rates. Results were also obtained in the power-off condition and with the engines removed.
