Close Collisions Between Light Nuclei: Orbiting and Fusion (open access)

Close Collisions Between Light Nuclei: Orbiting and Fusion

Our data have demonstrated that in close collisions the two nuclei first form a rotating dinuclear complex (DNC) which can break up into two complex fragments (Orbiting) or evolve into a compound nucleus. The binary fragment yield was found to be significant in contradiction with earlier views which held that whenever nucleus-nucleus capture occurs fusion is a certainty. The time duration of the dinuclear stage and the nature of its evolution into a compound nucleus were studied and a model which describes these processes will be presented. 25 refs., 14 figs.

Switching devices used in the Lethality Test System (open access)

Switching devices used in the Lethality Test System

The Lethality Test System (LTS) is an experiment which will utilize a light gas gun-railgun combination to accelerate projectiles for impact studies. The power supply for the railgun consists of an 80 MJ (kinetic) generator-flywheel array used to charge the primary windings of three cryogenic pulse transformers. The secondary windings of these transformers will supply up to 50 MJ of electrical energy to the railgun. A number of special switching devices will be required to cause energy transfer and compression. This paper describes the design and testing of these switching devices.

Infrared and far-infrared laser development for plasma diagnostics at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (open access)

Infrared and far-infrared laser development for plasma diagnostics at Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Three IR and FIR based diagnostics will be developed ann installed on the Advanced Toroidal Facility (ATF) at ORNL. An interferometer operating at 119 mu m will measure plasma density along 14 vertical chords across the plasma cross-section. A small-angle Thomson scattering experiment using a 10.6-mu m pulsed laser will determine the feasibility of measuring alpha particle distribution in a burning plasma. Plans are being developed for installing an FIR-based scattering experiment on ATF to measure density fluctuations. 4 refs., 4 figs.

1985 Libby Reservoir Angler Census: May 13-October 31, 1987 [i.e. 1985] : Interim Report. (open access)

1985 Libby Reservoir Angler Census: May 13-October 31, 1987 [i.e. 1985] : Interim Report.

An intensive creel and economic survey was conducted on Libby Reservoir from May 13 through October 31, 1985. This research was part of a larger effort to quantify the existing reservoir fishery and the effects of dam operation on this fishery. Census techniques incorporated direct interviews and electronic car counters installed at all established boat ramp access sites. A total of 4243 angling party interviews, 2379 car counter interviews and 719 economic surveys were conducted on Libby Reservoir. Interviewed anglers fished for 52,146 hours. Estimated pressure was 518,916 hours or 93,500 angler days equivalent to 2.10 angler days per acre. Eight percent of the total estimated angler days or 7436 fishing grips occurred on the Canadian portion of the reservoir. Boat anglers expended over 96% of the total effort. Anglers caught an estimated 617,097 fish during the creel period, 97% (597,380 fish) of which were kokanee. The majority (98%) of the kokanee harvested were caught on the US portion of the reservoir. Harvest of Salmo spp. was estimated at 15,334 fish. Whitefish and brook trout harvest was estimated at 1273 and 48 fish, respectively. Nongame fish species were almost nonexistent in the creel and estimated harvest was less than 0.5% …
