Caribbean Basin Initiative

Description: On August 5, 1983, President Reagan signed Public Law 98-67, which provides duty-free entry into the United States for certain Caribbean exports and allows U.S. business people to take tax deductions for the expense of attending conventions in the Caribbean region.

Charged-hadron production in e/sup +/e/sup -/ collisions at PEP with the TPC

Description: We have studied hadron production in e/sup +/e/sup -/ annihilation at 29 GeV center of mass energy. We have measured the particle fractions and particle separated differential cross sections using the PEP-4 (Time Projection Chamber) detector. The particles were identified by measuring their ionization energy loss (dE/dx). The pion fraction decreases from above 90% at 400 MeV/c to 55% at 6 GeV/c. Our results for kaon production require that a large number of kaons are produced by strange quarks … more

Detonation E. O. S. patterns for several explosives

Description: The available overdriven shockwave data for a number of explosives have been analyzed and compared. The data follow neither a constant gamma pattern nor the JWL EOS that fits expansion data to high accuracy. Modifications of the JWL function are proposed to correct for discrepancies and also to allow for the appropriate volume dependence of the Grueneisen constant indicated by previous and more recent work. The deviations from the JWL form of the equation of state appear directly above the CJ p… more

Impact analyses after pipe rupture. [PWR; BWR]

Description: Two of the French pipe whip experiments are reproduced with the computer code WIPS. The WIPS results are in good agreement with the experimental data and the French computer code TEDEL. This justifies the use of its pipe element in conjunction with its U-bar element in a simplified method of impact analyses.

MFTF: a computer program for calculating the MARS mode operating parameters for the axicell MFTF-B

Description: We describe the models used to calculate the equilibrium operating point for the MARS mode of the axicell MFTF-B, and present the model equations necessary to calculate the plasma and potential parameters in the central-cell, axicell, and anchor regions. In addition, we calculate the neutral beam, rf power, and gas inputs required to sustain the plasma and maintain the ion and electron-particle energy balance. After a brief description of the MFTF code, we present the results of a sample calcul… more

Neutral beam injector for 475 keV MARS sloshing ions

Description: A neutral beam injector system which produces 5 MW of 475 keV D/sup 0/ neutrals continuously on target has been designed. The beamline is intended to produce the sloshing ion distribution required in the end plug region of the conceptual MARS tandem mirror commercial reactor. The injector design utilizes the LBL self-extraction negative ion source and Transverse Field Focusing (TFF) accelerator to generate a long, ribbon ion beam. A laser photodetachment neutralizer strips over 90% of the negat… more

Quark search at the CBA

Description: An experiment to search for quarks at the CBA is described. The cross sections for the production of massive quark-antiquark pairs in nucleon-nucleon interactions is estimated, and the experimental design and procedures are described. (WHK)

Sensitivity and uncertainty investigations for Hiroshima dose estimates and the applicability of the Little Boy mockup measurements

Description: This paper describes sources of uncertainty in the data used for calculating dose estimates for the Hiroshima explosion and details a methodology for systematically obtaining best estimates and reduced uncertainties for the radiation doses received. (ACR)

Women in the United States Congress

Description: This report identifies women who have served as Senators or as Members of the House of Representatives. It notes their party affiliation, the States they have represented, the dates of their appointment or election, the length of their service, their committee assignments, and their service in committee chairmanships.
