Gamma Rays from the Interaction of 14-Mev Neutrons with Beryllium

Abstract: "The cross section for the Be-9(n, t')Li-7*-->Li-7 + Y(0.477 Mev) reaction has been measured in the vicinity of 14 Mev by detecting the gamma-rays at scattering angles from 30 to 150 degrees. A time-of-flight technique was used to distinguish the gamma-rays from the high neutron background. The cross section drops from 20 mb at 13.6 Mev to 10 mb at 14.1 Mev and then rises to 30 mb at 14.7 Mev."

The Satellite Code: A Numerical Satellite Integration Program for the IBM 704

From Introduction: "This report is intended as a handbook for the users of the Satellite code which was developed as a general purpose satellite and space probe program. The components of acceleration, in a three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system, are integrated to produce the velocities and coordinates. These may be transformed into elliptical elements at each time step. The output, therefore, may resemble an integration in the coordinates as well as in the parameters."

Shielding Against Magnetic Radiation Loss from a Hot Plasma (open access)

Shielding Against Magnetic Radiation Loss from a Hot Plasma

Abstract: "Classical electromagnetic theory indicates that a conducting metallic shield can reduce the magnetic-radiation loss from a hot plasma (centrally located) undergoing D-D burn to less than 1%, or two orders of magnitude."
