Orbital Electron Capture in the Heaviest Elements (open access)

Orbital Electron Capture in the Heaviest Elements

Certain isotopes in the region of the heaviest elements have been produced by cyclotron and pile bombardment techniques, and their nuclear decay properties have been investigated. The orbital electron capture decay of At210, At211, Np234, Np235, Pu234, Pu237, and Am242m has been studied and decay schemes have been proposed. In addition, the alpha spectra of Po211, At210, and At211 have been observed.

Passage of Electrons Through Matter (open access)

Passage of Electrons Through Matter

One of the oldest properties of electrons is their emission of x-rays (discrete and continuous spectra) when impinging on matter. Cloud-chamber tracks show light ionization, and considerable multiple scattering, except for fast electrons. Tracks are long and range indefinite.

Meson-Mass Measurements II - On the Measurement of the Masses of Charged Pions (open access)

Meson-Mass Measurements II - On the Measurement of the Masses of Charged Pions

This paper describes the method developed and the results obtained in an extensive program of measurement of the masses of charged pions. Measurements were made of the total ranges in nuclear track emulsion and the momenta (obtained from the curving of the particle trajectory in the magnetic field of the 184-inch cyclotron) of pions and protons of nearly the same velocity.

Interaction of Heparin Active Factor and Egg-Yolk Lipoprotein (open access)

Interaction of Heparin Active Factor and Egg-Yolk Lipoprotein

There is an active principle in heparinized plasma that may be studied in vitro with a prescribed lipoprotein-containing medium. To this end the interaction of this active principle or factor was studied with lipoprotein species isolated from egg yolk.

The Bevatron 9.9-Mev Proton Linear Accelerator (open access)

The Bevatron 9.9-Mev Proton Linear Accelerator

The Bevatron requires an intense source of high energy protons. The machine should accept monoenergetic protons for a duration of approximately 500 microseconds once every 6 seconds. To satisfy the requirements of small loss due to scattering by the gas in the accelerating chamber, a 9.9-Mev linear accelerator has been built and operated.

Pile Neutron Production Field Curves Calculated Using the UCRL Differential Analyzer (open access)

Pile Neutron Production Field Curves Calculated Using the UCRL Differential Analyzer

A set of 69 pile yield curves for the production of plutonium, americium, and curium isotopes in a neutron flux of 5 x 10<sup>14 cm<sup>-2 sec<sup>-1 is given. The differential analyzer of the University of California Radiation Laboratory was used in obtaining the curves. The curves are given also on log-log plots for comparison.

Convergence and Summability of Orthogonal Series (open access)

Convergence and Summability of Orthogonal Series

Consider an orthogonal series [formula] where [formula] is an arbitrary orthonormal system for the interval (a, b) and [formula] is a sequence of real numbers. This report is a collection of theorems which give sufficient conditions for the convergence almost everywhere in (a, b) and summability a. e. in (a, b) of the above series.

Angular Distribution of 30.6 Mev Protons Elastically Scattered by Be, C, and Al (open access)

Angular Distribution of 30.6 Mev Protons Elastically Scattered by Be, C, and Al

The motivation for the measurement of the angular distribution of elastic scattering of medium energy protons and neutrons has been clearly presented by others. They have also listed the results obtained prior to their experiments at 31.5 Mev. This is a report on some results obtained with 30.6 Mev protons scattered from Be, C, and Al.
