Large plastic shells from our contract with the Lebedev Institute

Description: We have a contract with the Department of Neutron Physics at the Lebedev Physical Institute in Moscow to develop the technology to produce plastic shells with diameters of about 2 mm that would be potentially suitable for NIF targets. They have recently delivered a selection of plastic shells with diameters of about 1 mm. The quality of these shells is in general quite good. The wall thicknesses range from about 4 to 7 {mu}m. Sphericity looks excellent and wall thickness uniformity may be accep… more

MeVVA source of primary metallic ions for SuperEBIS. Informal report

Description: Generation of high charge state heavy metallic ions including uranium has been successful in a number of EBIS (Electron Beam Ion Source) devices. The best results have been obtained in devices utilizing injection of primary, low charge state, ions from an external ion source into the EBIS trap for further ionization into higher charge states. In one such device, named EBIT (Electron Beam Ion Trap), a MeVVA ion source is used as an injector of primary metallic ions into the EBIT trap. The author… more

APT radionuclide production experiment

Description: Tritium ({sup 3}H, a heavy isotope of hydrogen) is produced by low energy neutron-induced reactions on various elements. One such reaction is n+{sup 3}He {yields}>{sup 3}H+{sup 1}H in which {sup 3}He is transmuted to tritium. Another reaction, which has been used in reactor production of tritium, is the n+{sup 6}Li {yields}> {sup 3}H+{sup 4}He reaction. Accelerator Production of Tritium relies on a high-energy proton beam to produce these neutrons using the spallation reaction, in which high-en… more

A time-of-flight spectrometer for SuperEBIS. Informal report

Description: A time-of-flight (TOF) spectrometer for determining ion species and charge states which are produced by ion sources has been constructed. It will be used to analyze the output of SuperEBIS, an Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) presently being assembled at BNL. Its design closely follows that of Weisgerber, which is based on the original work of Mamyrin. The spectrometer has been tested with an ion beam from a MEVVA ion source using titanium and uranium cathodes.

Magnetic field measurements of the superEBIS superconducting magnet. Informal report

Description: SuperEBIS was designed to have a solenoidal magnetic field of a 5 Tesla strength with a 120 cm long bore. The field was specified to be straight within 1 part in 10000 within the bore, and uniform to within 1 part in 1000 within the central 90 cm. Magnetic field measurements were performed with a computerized magnetic field measuring setup that was borrowed from W. Sampson`s group. A preliminary test was made of a scheme to determine if the magnetic and mechanical axes of the solenoid coincided… more

Review of window and filter requirements for commissioning of the Advanced Photon Source insertion device beamlines

Description: The Advanced Photon Source (APS) is building 16 insertion device (ID) front ends for the first phase of the project. Eleven of these are to be equipped with the APS Undulator A and the other five with a Wiggler-A-type source. The Undulator A front ends are designed to operate in a ``windowless`` mode using an APS-designed differential pump. However, during beamline commissioning and early operations of the storage ring, it is prudent to install windows to ensure storage ring vacuum safety befor… more

Report of clean out and flushing of UO{sub 3} Plant processing equipment: Revision 1

Description: The UO{sub 3} Plant went through a clean out leading to the deactivation of the facility. This clean out consisted of three phases. Phase 1 consisted of the removal of residual process material and the deactivation of most process equipment and instrumentation. Phase 2 consisted of the fixing or removal of contamination so storm water processing would be no longer required. Phase 3 consisted of the remaining activities that had to be completed before the facility was turned over to the Surplus … more

State coal profiles, January 1994

Description: The purpose of State Coal Profiles is to provide basic information about the deposits, production, and use of coal in each of the 27 States with coal production in 1992. Although considerable information on coal has been published on a national level, there is a lack of a uniform overview for the individual States. This report is intended to help fill that gap and also to serve as a framework for more detailed studies. While focusing on coal output, State Coal Profiles shows that the coal-produ… more

An analytical, inelastic, space and time dependent electron distribution for electrically excited gases

Description: An approximate, electron energy distribution function, f({var_epsilon}, x, t), is obtained for the case of a slightly ionized gas with inelastic electron-molecule collisions, and for an external electric field with both spatial and temporal variation. A previous analysis of the Boltzmann equation, for a slightly ionized gas with time-varying electric field and inelastic collisions, has been extended to include the effect of a spatial gradient in the electric field. This paper describes the spat… more
