This subcontract was for Optomec`c support of the Los Alamos National Laboratory`s (LANL`s) Group MEE-12 in the technical specialty area of opto-mechanical design, engineering and fabrication. Two individual tasks were defined by MEE-12 and completed by Optomec personnel. Edward J. Yavornik acted as Principal Investigator on the Wire and Fluorescent Fiber Offset Grid (WAFFOG) for the Neutral Particle Beam (NPB) GTA (Ground Test Accelerator) Experiment, and Thomas Swann acted as Principal Investigator on the ESS-7 Photometers Project. Some hardware was procured/fabricated for the ESS-7 Photometer task, however, most of the work consisted of design and engineering support resulting in drawings and specifications which were prepared by MEE-12 personnel. There were no technical papers or patents generated by Optomec personnel as a result of this work, and all work defined in the contract was completed.

The Compact Torus (Spheromak-type) is a near ideal plasma confinement configuration for acceleration. The fields are mostly generated by internal plasma currents, plasma confinement is toroidal, and the compact torus exhibits resiliency and stability in virtue of the ``rugged`` helicity invariant. Based on these considerations we are developing a coaxial rail-gun type Compact Torus Accelerator (CTA). In the CTA, the CT ring is formed between coaxial electrodes using a magnetized Marshall gun, it is quasistatically ``precompressed`` in a conical electrode section for inductive energy storage, it is accelerated in a straight-coaxial electrode section as in a conventional rail-gun, and it is focused to small size and high energy and power density in a final ``focus`` cone section. The dynamics of slow precompression and acceleration have been demonstrated experimentally in the RACE device with results in good agreement with 2-D MHD code calculations. CT plasma rings with 100 {micro}gms mass have been accelerated to 40 Kj kinetic energy at 20% efficiency with final velocity = 1 X 10{sup 8} cm/s (= 5 KeV/H{sup +}). Preliminary focus tests exhibi dynamics of radius compression, deceleration, and bouncing. Compression ratios of 2-3 have been achieved. A scaled-up 10-100 MJ CTA is predicted to achieve …

The fixture used to hold the IH module while the EC Calorimeter is pul led over it consists of two tripod frames with a double wide flange between them. The two tripods have legs made of 6-inch Schedule 40 pipe, these legs are tied together with 2-inch Schedule 40 pipe. One of the legs sits on and is attached to a box made of 3/4-inch plates. The fixture was analyzed using ANSYS. The element used was a 3-D beam (STIF4). Equivalent properties were figured for the double wide flange. The legs of the tripods were constrained in the Y direction (vertical). The box at the bottom of the tripod leg was not used in this analysis, the leg was constrained at the point of attachment to the box. The cross beam was loaded at two points representing the IH load. The reaction force at the point where the tripod leg attaches to the box was then used in an analysis of the box itself. The box was modeled using plate elements (STIF63). The bottom of the box was constrained in the Y (vertical) direction. The top of the box was loaded in roughly a circular area to represent the pipe …

In this Project Status Report for 7/9/89--10/8/89, results of a comparative study of coal sample deterioration in several container types were presented. In April 1990, one year after the initial analyses, the set of analyses was repeated on the most important container types. The new results are included in Table 2. During the current reporting period a total of 42 data printouts were distributed. In addition, 7 special data requests were fulfilled by either search/sort and printout or creation of a data disk, resulting in distribution of limited information on 2083 samples. Several preliminary requests for Sample Bank and Data Base information and price quotations have also been handled.

Palladium deposited on kieselguhr (Pd/K) will be used for several applications in the Replacement Tritium Facility (RTF). The Pd/K procured for the RTF consists of three batches. All three batches meet the specified particle size distribution that 80 weight percent be between 30 and 50 mesh. One batch contains 53.6% palladium which is less than the specified minimum of 55%. Another batch has a chlorine content of 311 ppm which is slightly in excess of the specified maximum of 250 ppm. These nonconformances are not considered significant since batches will be blended to yield Pd/K for the RTF that meets the chlorine specification and has acceptable palladium content. Some of the Pd/K procured for the RTF will be heat treated to strengthen the particles against breakdown during use. Heat treating parameters must be determined that will preserve the desired absorption/desorption behavior of the Pd/K. 8 refs., 7 figs., 2 tabs.

Sediment microbial community biomass and activity in Santa Monica Basin, a nearshore basin in the California Continental Borderland, were examined in October 1985, 1986 and 1987, May 1986, April 1987 and January 1990. Millimeter-scale ATP profiles and incubation of intact cores with {sup 3}H-adenine indicated a high-biomass interface microbial population in the low-oxygen central basin, which was absent in samples from the basin slope sediments. A majority of microbial activity and organic matter mineralization occurred in the top cm of sediment. Comparison of measured ATP and total organic carbon profiles suggest that the C:ATP ratio (wt:wt) ranges between 47:1 and 77:1 in central basin interfacial populations, substantially lower than reported for other aquatic environments. Carbon production estimated from DNA synthesis measurements via {sup 3}H-adenine incorporation was compared with TCO{sub 2} fluxes measured by in situ benthic chamber experiments. Within the uncertainty of the C:ATP ratio, an overall microbial carbon assimilation efficiency of 75--90% was indicated. The low C:ATP ratios and high carbon assimilation efficiencies significantly affect estimates of microbial growth and respiration and are substantially different than those often assumed in the literature. These results suggest that without independent knowledge of these ratios, the uncertainty in tracer-derived microbial growth and …

The gauge hierarchy problem is reviewed and a class of effective field theories obtained from superstrings is described. These are characterized by a classical symmetry, related to the space-time duality of string theory, that is responsible for the suppression of observable supersymmetry breaking effects. At the quantum level, the symmetry is broken by anomalies that provide the seed of observable supersymmetry breaking, and an acceptably large gauge hierarchy may be generated. 39 refs.

This paper describes electron emission following the autoionization of doubly excited states in Be-like ions. The Be-like Auger states are produced by two electron capture in slow C{sup 4+}, O{sup 6+} and Ne{sup 8+} ions. These measurements were performed by means of high resolution Auger electron spectroscopy on different target gases and at different projectile energies. Line assignments and relative cross sections are given for the investigated doubly excited states and the excitation mechanism is discussed. 15 refs., 16 figs., 4 tabs.
