High resolution x-ray crystal spectrographs

Description: Observation of x-ray line emissions are valuable for determining the thermodynamic state of the emitting plasma. For laser produced plasmas, diffraction crystals can be used to isolate x-ray monochromes to obtain high resolution spectral measurements. We will describe a versatile multi-crystal high resolution spectrograph used for photon energies from 0.5 to 6 keV. We will discuss a calculational package that tunes the response and sensitivity of the instrument and estimates the effect of sourc… more

Evaluation of the radionuclide concentrations in soil and plants from the 1975 terrestrial survey of Bikini and Eneu Islands

Description: In June 1975 a radiological survey was conducted of the terrestrial environment of Bikini and Eneu islands (Bikini Atoll) to evaluate the potential radiation dose to the returning Bikini population. In this report, we present measurements of the radionuclide concentration in soil profiles and in dominant species of edible and nonedible, indicator plants. The use of these data to derive relationships to predict the plant uptake of radionuclides from soil is described. Approximately 620 soil and … more

PWR blowdown heat transfer separate-effects program data evaluation report: system response for thermal-hydraulic test facility test series 100

Description: Selected reduced instrument responses and analyses of the indicated phenomena are presented for Thermal-Hydraulic Test Facility (THTF) test series 100, which is part of the PWR Blowdown Heat Transfer Separate-Effects Program. The objective of the program is to investigate the thermal-hydraulic phenomena that govern the energy transfer and transport processes occurring during a postulated loss-of-coolant accident in a pressurized-water reactor system. Comparisons are made between the trends indi… more

2660 A holographic interferometry of laser produced plasmas from tilted disk targets

Description: Using double exposure holographic interferometry, an investigation has been made of the Nd laser produced plasmas surrounding disk targets irradiated at different angles of incidence. Measurements have produced a detailed description of the plasma profile necessary for realistic simulations of resonance absorption. A 2660A 15 psec probe pulse is produced by frequency quadrupling a fraction of the main Nd laser pulse from the Janus laser. F/1 and f/10 lenses were utilized to irradiate the target… more

Fundamental study of crack initiation and propagation. [Computer model of ductile fracture]

Description: Objective is to determine the fracture toughness of A533B-1 steel by computer modeling Charpy V-notch tests. A computer model of ductile fracture was developed that predicts fracture initiation. The model contains a set of material-dependent parameters obtained by computer simulations of small specimen tests. The computer calculations give detailed stress and strain histories up to the time of fracture, which are used to determine the model parameter values. The calibrated fracture model, that … more

Absolute instrumental neutron activation analysis at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory

Description: The Environmental Science Division at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory has in use a system of absolute Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA). Basically, absolute INAA is dependent upon the absolute measurement of the disintegration rates of the nuclides produced by neutron capture. From such disintegration rate data, the amount of the target element present in the irradiated sample is calculated by dividing the observed disintegration rate for each nuclide by the expected value for the d… more

Sub-keV, subnanosecond measurements of x-ray spectra from laser-produced plasmas

Description: As part of the effort to extend our x-ray diagnostic capabilities, we have made x-ray spectral measurements of laser-produced plasmas for photon energies down to 100 eV with a time response of 0.5 nsec. Fast, windowless x-ray diodes were used in conjunction with critical angle reflecting mirrors and thin filters for energy definition for two channels, 300 to 600 eV and 800 to 1300 eV. A third channel, using only an x-ray diode and filter, provided spectral information in the 100 to 300 eV regio… more

Plasma production and flow in negative ion beams

Description: Plasma generated in low-density vapor by a negative ion beam has been studied experimentally and computationally. We show that space charge neutralization of the beam occurs at very low vapor density, and that correspondingly the electron density may be much less than the beam and plasma ion densities. When there is a large local gas density, as in a charge changing cell, the resulting high electron density is also localized to the same region. Therefore, very few electrons will reach a negativ… more

Relaxation of neodymium in a weakly ionized expanding plasma

Description: The laser resonance absorption technique has been used to determine the relaxation rate of electronically excited neodymium vapor during its expansion into vacuum. Significant increases of population into ground and 1128 cm/sup -1/ levels were found. Analysis shows that interaction between excited metastable atoms and electrons are much more important for relaxation than atom-atom collisions. The final population of neodymium appears to be frozen at a temperature lower than the surface temperat… more

Properties of Kel F-800 polymer

Description: Kel F-800 fluorocarbon polymer has been selected as the binder for the TATB explosive in the B77 bomb. Kel F-800 is a 3M copolymer derived from the monomers chlorotrifluorethylene (CTFE) and vinylidine fluoride (VF/sub 2/). To understand and define Kel F-800 in relation to its intended use, as well as to generate guidelines for controlling the WR material, a thorough evaluation of its properties and the expected variations from different production lots was made. The research showed that Kel F-… more

Sixty keV D/sup -/ beams using double charge-exchange system

Description: A D/sup -/ beam with current greater than 100 ma was accelerated to 60 kV. The beam, with pulse length 10 ms, was generated by charge-exchange in cesium vapor. The physics of generation, propagation at low energy, and acceleration is discussed.
