Plasma measurements with surface barrier detectors

Description: A surface barrier detector system for measuring the loss rate of protons from a hydrogen plasma and their energy spectrum is described. A full width at half maximum (FWHM) resolution of 1.4 keV for 15-keV hydrogen atoms was obtained using a selected detector having a sensitive area of 3 mm/sup 2/ and a depletion depth of 700 microns.

Artificial Heart Pump (Additional Endogenous Heat) Program

Description: Three plutonium-238 radioisotope-powered heat sources were developed and fabricated at Mound Laboratory for use by Thermo Electron Engineering Corporation (TEECO) in the Artificial Heart Pump (Additional Endogenous Heat) Program. These sources contained doubly encapsulated plutonum-238 metal; two had a thermal power of 15(+2-0) W and one had 25(+0-2) W. Details of the design, fabrication, and testing of the heat sources are given in this report. Two of the heat sources (one 15-W and one 25-W) w… more
