Acceleration of polarized protons at the AGS

Description: Spin physics in the past has provided an acid test of many models and theories and over the last decade has revealed new and unexpected phenomena to confront present day theories. This work received great impetus from the experiments at the ZGS, where for the first time multi-GeV polarized beams became available. This, in conjunction with polarized targets, allowed the complete specification of the initial quantum states in high energy proton-proton interactions and led to many startling new re… more

Advanced direct coal liquefaction. Quarterly technical progress report No. 2, December 1983-February 1984

Description: Five Bench-Scale coal liquefaction runs were completed with Wyoming subbituminous coal in a two-stage process scheme. In this process scheme, LDAR, the lighter fraction of ash-free resid, was fed to the catalytic stage prior to its recycle to the thermal stage, whereas DAR, the heavy fraction of the deashed resid, was directly recycled to the thermal stage without any intermediate processing step. The results indicate that increasing coal space rate in the dissolver resulted in lower coal conve… more

Consecutive quenches and the safety leads

Description: The safety leads of the Energy Saver were designed to handle occasional quenches. In order to save capital investment in another system of plumbing they involve no gas cooling. In their design optimization was sought on the ratio of load capability (for a single quench) to steady state heat leak into the liquid helium environment. Reference 1 describes the design considerations and tests on a prototype made out of constanta. The actual production models are made out of 304 Stainless Steel rods … more

Geothermal Evaluation of The Hosston Formation Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas Phase II Report

Description: This report summarizes the results of a phased program to test the geothermal characteristics of the Hosston Formation at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas. The geothermal resource evaluation was made possible through drilling and preliminary testing of a large diameter well, Lackland AFB No.1, at the south portion of the base. Phase I of the program had 3 major components: (1) compilation and interpretation of surface and subsurface geologic data to site the well; (2) design of the w… more

Hadron physics

Description: Is all hadronic physics ultimately describable by QCD. Certainly, many disparate phenomena can be understood within the QCD framework. Also certainly, there are important questions which are open, both theoretically (little guidance, as yet) and experimentally, regarding confinement. Are there dibaryons, baryonium, glueballs. In addition, there are experimental results which at present do not have an explanation. This talk, after a short section on QCD successes and difficulties, will emphasize… more

Hazardous materials information hotline using System 2000

Description: The Center for Assessment of Chemical and Physical Hazards (CACPH) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) has developed a computer hotline service for the Department of Energy (DOE) and its contractors. This service provides access to health and safety information for over 800 chemicals and hazardous materials. The data base uses System 2000 on a CDC 6600 and provides information on the chemical name and its synonyms, 17 categories of health and safety information, composition of chemical mixt… more

High current electron linacs (advanced test accelerator/experimental test accelerator)

Description: The high current induction accelerator development at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is described. The ATA facility is designed for 10 kA peak currents, 50 nsec pulse lengths and 50 MeV energies. At this time, half of the design current has been accelerated through the entire machine to particle energies of about 45 MeV. Current problem areas and operational experience to date will be discussed. Several key technical areas required development for the ATA machine; this report will s… more

High-power RF compressor

Description: We discuss here the possibility of rapidly compressing resonant RF fields in a coaxial cavity with a moving, magnetically confined plasma ring. The possibility of accelerating a plasma ring and various acceleration configurations was discussed earlier. Since the ring velocity can be high, compression to high energy density and high power can be achieved before significant resistive loss or vaporization of the cavity walls occurs. An example is given of compressing 10/sup 5/ J of lambda = 15 cm … more

Hydrothermal interaction of Topopah Spring tuff with J-13 water as a function of temperature

Description: In support of the Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations Project experiments were conducted to study the hydrothermal interaction of rock and water representative of a potential repository in tuff. These experiments provided data relevant to near-field repository conditions that can be used to: assess the ability to use accelerated tests based on the SA/V (surface area/volume) parameter and temperature; allow the measurement of chemical changes in phases present in the tuff before reaction… more

Measurements of satellite refrigerator compressor power consumption and efficiency

Description: Each of the thirty compressors installed around the ring and at switchyard is an oil-injected, two-stage, Mycom screw compressor, driven by either a 350 hp or 400 hp motor. The reader is referred to TM1198 by John Satti for a detailed description of these compressors and the associated equipment. Since the power consumed by these compressors is a major operating expense for our accelerator, we were interested in measuring the power consumption and efficiency of our compressors. Two compressors … more

Photodetachment neutralizer development: Laser window design study: Volume 1, Summary: Final report

Description: Photodetachment neutralization (PDN) has been proposed as a major improvement to the gas cell neutralization utilized on current neutral beam heating systems for magnetic containment fusion devices. This PDN system will use a Chemical Oxygen Iodine Laser (COIL) to produce a light beam with photons of a near optimal wavelength which can be reflected back and forth across the path of the ion beam to create the necessary high density light ''cloud'' required for the photodetachment process. In a f… more
