The 4K ANGIE Code

Description: The ANGIE, one of a series of reactor neutronic programs for an IBM 709 or 7090 data processing system, solves the time-dependent, multi-group, neutron diffusion equation for 1 to 26 energy groups applied to a rectangular mesh superimposed on either an x-y or an r-z plane.

Neutron Dosimetry in and Around Human Phantoms By Use of Nuclear Track Emulsion

Description: The validity of the nuclear track emulsion technique for fast-neutron dosimetry is examined in the exposure of a human phantom to PuBe neutrons, Semiautomatic track scanning and high-speed data analysis obviate the major disadvantages of emulsion dosimetry, and allow the absolute differential proton track energy spectrum at various locations in the phantom to be obtained without a serious cost in time. From this are calculated the total absorbed local tissue dose due to proton recoils and the l… more

A Revised Version Of A Review Of Nuclear Fission. Part One - Fission Phenomena At Low Energy

Description: This revised version contains material published in the two years since the original report was issued in January 1960. The report covers the history of the discovery of fission, fission theory, and the probability of fission. It discusses the distribution of mass in fission, the distribution of nuclear charge in fission, kinetic energy of fission fragments, and the role of neutrons and gamma rays in fission.

Influence of Different Y Chromosomes on Secondary Nondisjunction in D. Melanogaster

Description: Females heterozygous for a wildtype X chromosome from a Samarkand stock and an chromosome of the composition [formula] were tested for the frequency of X-chromosomal non-disjunction and segregation of the X's when Y chromosomes of different types were present in the females. The Y chromosomes used were 1) a normal unmarked Y, 2) [formula], 3) [formula] and 4) [formula] (a chromosome which arose in one of our experiments and has not yet been analyzed). Since this was only a preliminary test no a… more

The Tides: A Dynamic Explanation Based Upon Fundamental Physical Concepts

Description: A model is proposed to directly relate observed tidal action with orbital movements of the moon and the earth. The basic model consists of a unit mass acting as a free point on the rotating earth's surface and being carried into a field gradient. The field is such as to cause the free point to "fall" along the surface, gain a velocity with respect to the earth's surface, and thus produce a tidal interaction at coastal barriers. Gyroscopic and resonant oscillatory current effects are not treated. more

An Integral Design Technique for Wideband Multistage Transistor Amplifiers

Description: Presented herein is a philosophy for designing wideband multistage transistor amplifiers. The amplifier is visualized as an integral unit, the interstage networks constituting the elements of the amplifier unit. By designing the amplifier as a unit and adjusting the overall response (gain and bandwidth) with the interstage time constants, an increase in gain-bandwidth product is realized over the iteratively designed amplifiers. The resulting increase in gain-bandwidth product results from abse… more

Alpha Air Monitoring with [alpha]/[beta] Ratio Compensation for Natural Interference

Description: Abstract. Results are presented of a theoretical study to calculate the [alpha]/[beta] ratio of filter-collected natural airborne radioactivity. The detection of airborne plutonium contamination by noting increases in this [alpha]/[beta] ratio is discussed. A modification of this approach which provides a more uniform response to alpha airborne contamination is described.

Crystal Structure Of B 'Cu0.75Al0.25

Description: The problem of crystal structure of the martensitic B1 phase of the eutectic alloy in the Cu-Al system still requires a more accurate clarification (Hun ger and Dienst 1960, Tarora 1949). Martensitic phases in general are formed through small thrust (shear) deformations of the original lattice. On this basis the results of Hunger and Dienst (1960) are doubtful, since the lattice constants found by them have required a considerable reclassification. From the known lattice constants of the B1 pha… more

Color Production From Energetic Ions Impinging On Metals

Description: It has been observed that energetic gaseous ions mark their region of impingement on certain metals in color. Under identical conditions of bombardment, multicharged ions of the same gas mark their impact areas with different colors. The colors are sensitive to the type and energy of the ion as well as to the metal bombarded. These colors may result from reflections from thin films formed by reactions at the target. Because the colors indicate that thicker films are produced with increased ion … more

Nine-Channel Polychromator For Observation Of Time-Dependent Spectral Line Profiles

Description: The instrument (polychromator) described observes time-dependent spectral-line profiles by simultaneous measurement at nine different wavelengths of light intensity as a function of time. A cylindrical lens magnifies the dispersion of a Jarrell-Ash Model S2000 Ebert Monochromator and forms an image on a light-pipe solder. Light pipes transfer light from various sections of the image--i.e., different wavelengths--to photomultiplier tubes, and the responses are displayed on oscilloscopes. The ins… more
