[Letter from David E. Golden to Harden H. Widemann, February 12, 1987]

Description: Letter from David E. Golden to Harden H. Wiedemann, on February 12, 1987. He thanks Wiedemann for talking to himself and James Miller about the establishment of a Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science. He discusses the cost of creating a TAMS program, and sends a copy of a bill from Louisiana that established the Louisiana School of Mathematics, Science, and the Arts.

Heterodyne phase shift diagnostic for measuring atomic vapor density

Description: We describe a technique for atomic density measurements. We generate and recombine frequency shifted laser beams producing beat signals on reference and signal detectors. Opacity in the signal detector leg is proportional to the phase difference between detector signals. 4 refs., 2 figs.

Compositeness and QCD at the SSC

Description: Compositeness may be signaled by an increase in the production of high transverse momentum hadronic jet pairs or lepton pairs. The hadronic jet signal competes with the QCD production of jets, a subject of interest in its own right. Tests of perturbative QCD at the SSC will be of special interest because the calculations are expected to be quite reliable. Studies show that compositeness up to a scale of 20 to 35 TeV would be detected in hadronic jets at the SSC. Leptonic evidence would be disco… more

Oxygen-induced reactions at 60 A GeV and 200 A GeV studied by calorimetry

Description: Results based on calorimetric measurements are presented from reactions of 60 A GeV and 200 A GeV /sup 16/O projectiles with C, Cu, Ag, and Au nuclei. Minimum-bias cross sections are discussed. Energy spectra measured at zero degrees and transverse-energy distributions for the pseudorapidity range 2.4 less than or equal to eta less than or equal to 5.5 are shown. An analysis of the average transverse energy in terms of the number of participating nucleons and the number of binary nucleon-nucleo… more

Particle simulation of intense electron cyclotron heating and beat-wave current drive

Description: High-power free-electron lasers make new methods possible for heating plasmas and driving current in toroidal plasmas with electromagnetic waves. We have undertaken particle simulation studies with one and two dimensional, relativistic particle simulation codes of intense pulsed electron cyclotron heating and beat-wave current drive. The particle simulation methods here are conventional: the algorithms are time-centered, second-order-accurate, explicit, leap-frog difference schemes. The use of … more

A neutron portal monitor for vehicles

Description: We have designed and built a portal vehicle monitoring systems for detecting neutron-emitting special nuclear material (SNM) such as plutonium. Monte Carlo calculations were used to optimize the design of the 15-cm-deep x 122-cm-high x 244-cm-long detector chambers, which utilize /sup 3/He proportional counters inside a hollow polyethylene box. Results for a variety of parametric studies, including polyethylene thickness and detector number, are described. Our experimental measurements are in g… more

Effective nonrenormalizable theories at one loop

Description: The paper focuses on a nonrenormalizable theory that is more closely related to those suggested by superstrings, namely a gauged nonlinear delta-model, but one which can also be obtained analytically in a particular limit of a parameter (m/sub H/ ..-->.. infinity) of the standard, renormalizable electroweak theory. This will provide another laboratory for testing the validity of calculations using the effective theory. We find (as for certain superstring inspired models to be discussed later) f… more

Radiation measurements in the North arc: November 1986 through April 1987

Description: This paper is an effort to share preliminary data on radiation measurements. Measurements were made using passive lithium-flouride thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD) placed in the North arc during the start-up period of the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC). Li-7 dosimeters were used for ionizing radiation measurements, and Li-6 dosimeters moderated by polyethylene were used for measuring neutrons. In addition, some measurements were made near alcove N-6 using a Cs-137 gamma-ray source in order to… more

New possibilities for exotic hadrons

Description: New theoretical ideas and experimental evidence for exotic hadrons are presented. A new exciting candidate is an anticharmed baryon; i.e., a bound state of a nucleon and an F (now called D3). New experimental evidence for four-quark exotic mesons presented at this conference is discussed. The confusion in the E-iota region and the pseudoscalar spectrum still await further experimental clarification.

SAFIRE: A systems analysis code for ICF (inertial confinement fusion) reactor economics

Description: The SAFIRE (Systems Analysis for ICF Reactor Economics) code incorporates analytical models for scaling the cost and performance of several inertial confinement fusion reactor concepts for electric power. The code allows us to vary design parameters (e.g., driver energy, chamber pulse rate, net electric power) and evaluate the resulting change in capital cost of power plant and the busbar cost of electricity. The SAFIRE code can be used to identify the most attractive operating space and to ide… more

Signal Feedthrough Box Weld Procedure

Description: The procedure is as follows: (1) Firmly bar clamp the box together in all directions. When all directions have been secured, tack weld each outside seam of the box in 4 or 5 places along it's length. Remove clamps and proceed to weld all outside seams. Care should be taken that the maximum weld cross section does not exceed 1/16-inch x 1/16-inch. (2) To help stabilize the metal as it cools, we will install all slot plugs, (MC-223665), and one side cover plate, (MD-223637). Inside welds for this… more
