The following is a summary of a preliminary tracking study done on the Medium Energy Booster. The tracking code used was one written by the author specifically for this study. What was needed was an investigation of how the specifically for this study. What was needed was an investigation of how the sextupole errors found in the main dipole magnets affected particle motion in the MEB. The dipoles are the same magnets proposed for the Main Injector ring at Fermilab, so it was known that these magnets had a particularly strong sextupole component at high magnet excitation currents.

Most of the progress made since September 1, 1989 is one of two types: programming or orgamzmg. In general Xpresslink has gained in a programming sense (more I/O blocks, new and revised operation screens, new key macros, broader historical trending), and the ladder has improved in an organizational sense. A database called '.CNTRL RM INFO' has been installed on the control room Mac hard disk in the Control Room folder in the Word Processors folder. This file should be updated regularly.

A Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (RTG) with an unsymmetrically obstructed heat rejection path can have significant axial and circumferential variations in the temperatures, currents, and voltages of its thermoelectric couple network. The present paper describes a methodology for analyzing the thermal and electrical performance of such an RTG, and the development of a computer code for implementing that emthodology. The code derives coupled solutions of the RTG's thermal, thermoelectric, and electrical equations. It accounts for the Peltier effect, Ohmic heating, and the Thomson effect, and treats the electrical power produced in each couple as an effective heat sink. It satisfies the condition that all parallel couples produce the same voltage, and that all series-connected couple groups produce the same current. Finally, the paper illustrates the use of the code by applying it to the detailed analysis of the RTGs for the CRAF and Cassini missions. In each of these, there are two adjacent RTGs which are obstructed by each other and by the nearby spacecraft. The results of the analysis will be used by the spacecraft designers in selecting the location, orientation, and spacing of the two RTGs. There are two copies in the file.

This frame pipe analysis addresses the D0 LAr dewar Condenser tube (coil) feed pipe thermal contraction stresses and moments. The configuration is shown in PEI drawing C-32545, Rev 0, and the parameters detailed in the letter of November 20, 1989, located in appendix A. Note that all other thermal considerations for these condensing coils have been made in D0 EN 3740.512-234. The conclusion of this report is the feed lines, previously deemed appropriate without detailed analysis, have been demonstrated to be adequately designed for the intended service and require no further investigation.

A preliminary design for a B-factory has been made using asymmetric collisions between positrons in the PEP storage ring and electrons in a new, low-energy ring. The design utilizes small-aperture, permanent-magnet quadrupoles close to the interaction point (IP). Optimization of optical and beam parameters at the IP will be discussed, as well as the lattice design of the interaction region and of the rings.

The cooldown will be immediately preceded by two trial pump downs; the insulating vacuum and the detector volume. The insulating vacuum must be established to a level below 10{sup -4} MM Hg to minimize the conduction heat load. The detector, aka cryostat, vacuum pump down must be able to reproduce the ultimate and rate-of-rise (ROR) values demonstrated in the clean room. It is anticipated, barring newly generated problems, it will take a few days to accomplish both of these tasks once the construction is complete, even though there has been incidental scavenger vacuum pumping. When the leak detectors are put away, the real Pump and Purge (P&P) begins.

In order to help answer questions about the magnitude of heat flux to the liquid argon in a liquid argon calorimeter which could cause boiling (bubbles), calculations estimating the heat flux which can be removed by free convection were made in February, 1988. These calculations are intended to be an estimate of the heat flux above which boiling would occur. No formal writeup was made of these calculations, although the graph dated 3 Feb 88 and revised (adding low-velocity forced convection lines) 19 Feb 88 was presented in several meetings and widely distributed. With this description of the calculations, copies of the original graph and calculations are being added to the D0 Engineering Note files. The liquid argon surface is in equilibrium with argon vapor at a pressure of 1.3 bar, so the surface is at 89.70 K. The liquid is entirely at this surface temperature throughout the bulk of the volume, except locally where it is warmed by a solid surface at a higher temperature than the bulk liquid. This surface temperature is taken to be the boiling temperature of argon at the pressure corresponding to 1.3 bar plus the liquid head; hence it is a function of depth …

We develop a picture of periodic systems which does not rely on the Hamiltonian of the system but on maps between a finite number of time locations. Moser or Deprit-like normalizations are done directly on the maps thereby avoiding the complex time-dependent theory. We redefine linear and nonlinear Floquet variables entirely in terms of maps. This approach relies heavily on the Lie representation of maps introduced by Dragt and Finn. One might say that although we do not use the Hamiltonian in the normalization transformation, we are using Lie operators which are themselves, in some sense, pseudo-Hamiltonians for the maps they represent. Our techniques find application in accelerator dynamics or in any field where the Hamiltonian is periodic but hopelessly complex, such as magnetic field design in stellarators.

This report covers the ODH concerns of the south side of the D0 Assembly Building. from the bottom (el. 700-feet) to the top (774-feet 6-inches). volume by volume. Each volume is covered in its own section. with each section broken down into three parts. The first is a description of the volume. including its function. dimensions. and all relative ODH concerns; cryogenic piping and ventilation. Second. the actual ODH analysis of the volume is shown. Third. the provisions for the ODH condition of the volume are detailed. including securing the area and the posting of signs. The liquid argon dewar room is at an elevation of 701-feet 6-inch (38-feet underground), with the dewar surrounded by 7700 cubic feet of air. The area is accessible only through a single door. which has a small window and a lock (lock out only). There is small metal scaffolding in front of the dewar to facilitate maintenance and U-tube pulling and installation. The room is directly on top of the Pipe Chase Well and the Cryo Sump, and the bottom of the Stairway is just outside the door. The dewar is designed to be completely operated by remote computer control and the area will …

Presented at the Seventh Symposium on Space Nuclear Power Systems in Albuquerque, NM, January 7-11, 1990. It will be shown that end-on impacts, which are more likely to occur with Ulysses than with Galileo, will produce greater average fueled clad distortion than was typical of Galileo. Fortunately, the predicted distortions remain well within the Galileo database. It will also be shown that the 2-dimensional calculations which were performed for the Galileo configuration were indeed valid in that application and are also valid for the Ulysses configuration. There are three copies in the file.

The charge form factors of 3H, 3He, and 4He are calculated using the Monte Carlo method and variational ground-state wave functions obtained for the Argonne two-nucleon and Urbana-VII three-nucleon interactions. The model for the charge density operator contains the two-body exchange contributions of longest range. With some spread due to the uncertainty in the electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon the calculated charge form factors are in good agreement with the empirical values over the whole experimentally covered range of momentum transfer.

The large and small-scale geothermal features of the North American continent and surrounding ocean areas illustrated on the new 1:5,000,000 DNAG Geothermal Map of North America are summarized. Sources for the data included on the map are given. The types of data included are heat flow sites coded by value, contours of heat flow with a color fill, areas of major groundwater effects on regional heat flow, the top-of-geopressure in the Gulf Coast region, temperature on the Dakota aquifer in the midcontinent, location of major hot springs and geothermal systems, and major center of Quaternary and Holocene volcanism. The large scale heat flow pattern that is well known for the conterminous United States and Canada of normal heat flow east of the Cordillera and generally high heat flow west of the front of the Cordillera dominates the continental portion of the map. However, details of the heat flow variations are also seen and are discussed briefly in this and the accompanying papers.

This report is an introduction to the behavior of radon 222 and its decay products in indoor air. This includes review of basic characteristics of radon and its decay products and of features of the indoor environment itself, all of which factors affect behavior in indoor air. The experimental and theoretical evidence on behavior of radon and its decay products is examined, providing a basis for understanding the influence of geological, structural, and meteorological factors on indoor concentrations, as well as the effectiveness of control techniques. We go on to examine three important issues concerning indoor radon. We thus include (1) an appraisal of the concentration distribution in homes, (2) an examination of the utility and limitations of popular monitoring techniques and protocols, and (3) an assessment of the key elements of strategies for controlling radon levels in homes.
