Scattering of K<sup>+</sup> Mesons Off Protons

Description: The total K/sup +/-p cross section was measured at the three K/sup +/- meson energies 175 er inch per 25, 225 er inch per 25, and 275 er inch per 25 Mev and the differential scattering cross section was measured at 225 Mev. The K/sup +/-p nuclear force was shown to be repulsive from the observed constructive interference with Coulomb scattering. The differential c=oss section was otherwise isotropic and could arise from either pure S-wave or pure P- wave scattering. Subtracted dispersion relati… more

Manipulator Cable With Constant Stress

Description: A manipulator or mechanical arm involves an upper and a lower arm, with a variable angle between them. Cables used to transmit motion and force from the upper to the lower arms pass over a pulley at the joint or elbow. A pulley, axiaily fixed with respect to the joint, imposes a change in length of the cable as the angle between the arms varies. Manipulation design requires a cable of constant length during this variation; this constant length may be achieved by guiding the center of the pulley… more

A Proposal for Determining the Electro-Magnetic Form Factor of the Pion

Description: The possibility of measuring the electromagnetic form factor of the pion by extrapolation of the cross section for e/sup -/ + p 1100 deg C are n + The effects of /sup +/ + e/sup -/ was investigated. The method is based on the existence of a pole in the electropionproduction scattering amplitude as a function of the invariant momentum-transfer of the nucleon. The residue of this pole is the pion form factor multiplied by a known coefficient. Since the pole lies slightly outside the physical regi… more

Independent Yields of Isomeric Pairs in Nuclear Reactions

Description: The Cd/sup 115m/ and Cd/sup 115/ isomers produced in 12- to 340Mev proton bombardments of U/sup 238/ were isolated by radiochemical methods. The cumulative yield ratios of Cd/sup 115/Cd/sup 115m/Cd/ were determined. In the 45- Mev heliumion flssion of uranium, an estimation of the independentyield ratio of Pm/sup 148/ (5.3-day) to Pm/sup 148/ (43-day) was made. In the deuteron fission of uranium at about 20 Mevs an estimate of the independent-yield ratio of Nb/sup 95m/ to the total niobium of m… more

Charged-Particle-Induced Fission: A Mass Spectrometric Yield Study

Description: The products from the flssion of U induced by charged particles were studied in a mass spectrometer. Both U/sup 238/ and U/sup 235/ were bombarded with 45.7- and 24-Mev helium ions, and U/sup 238/ was also bombarded with 730-Mev protons and 100-Mev carbon ions. Tbe total chain-yields in the region of the rare-earth elemerts (mass 140 to mass 155) for most of the above bombardments and a thermal-neutron bombardment of U/sup 235/ were studied by using the isotopicdilution technique.

Control Aspects of Very High Flux Research Reactors

Description: Submitted to Rensselaer Polytechnic Inst. The computation of reactor characteristics over a fuel cycle in a way suitable to the investigation of the control aspects of the reactor problem is considered. The dynamic problem including as independent variables the neutron energy, the spaces and time was studied. An additional condttion of versatility in the method used to obtain the solutions is necessary to explore the control aspects of the problem. The normal possibilities of the analog compute… more

Complete Determination of Polarization for a High-Energy Deuteron Beam

Description: please delete the no. 17076<><DSN>13:017077<ABS>The P/sub 1/ multigroup code was written for the IBM-704 in order to determine the accuracy of the few- group diffusion scheme with various imposed conditions and also to provide an alternate computational method when this scheme fails to be sufficiently accurate. The code solves for the spatially dependent multigroup flux, taking into account such nuclear phenomena is slowing down of neutrons resulting from elastic and inelastic scattering, the r… more

Research in Photosynthesis

Description: The determination of the specific radioactivities of the chlorophylls and carotenoids of algae after photosynthesis with C/sup 14/O/sub 2/ is a formidable task, due to the extreme lability of these compounds. The whole success of the method depends on adequate chromatographic separations of the pigments from the colorless contaminants which are closely associated with them, and yet the time involved for such separations is sufficient for marked decomposition of the pigments to occur. It is sugg… more

The Kinetics and Stability of Fast Reactors With Special Considerations of Nonlinearities

Description: The dynamic behavior of a fast reactor, when the neutron flux is considered as a function of time, is considered. The kinetics of a fast reactor can be grouped into three distinct areas of interest; the first being the normal operating conditions where all the changes are brought about in a slow manner. and the resulting flux changes being small in comparison with the steady stuff flux. Since the available reactivity and the power density of most large thermal reactors is so small, and the heat… more

Hydrodynamic Aspects of Boiling Heat Transfer

Description: A study concerned with the determination of the limiting hydrodynamic conditions which characterize nucleate and transitional boiling was conducted. The critical heat flux and the minimum heat flux are derived from these hydrodynamic limits. Results of investigations of nucleate boilin g are discussed and the theory of bubble growth is extended to include the effect of non-uniform temperature fields. An equation is derived for the product bubble diameter times frequency of bubble emission, and … more

Stravinsky's use of the Trumpet and Cornet

Description: This thesis examines the history of the use of trumpet and cornet, and analyzes their use in several Stravinsky pieces: Petroushka, The Rite of Spring, L'Histoire du soldat, and Ragtime. The study concludes that Stravinsky, at the time of the composition of the analyzed pieces, was instrumental in elevating the cornets and trumpets to a more important position in the orchestra.
