UCRL Lectures on Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics: Lecture IX

Description: The field of mathematics which deals with the construction of charts representing mathematical laws is known as Nomography. Often it is necessary to repeatedly solve mathematical formulae, but with different values for the symbols involved. The manipulation of the formulae, or repeated constructions of graphs, may require considerable work, as well as carry with it the possibility of errors invalidating the results. In such a situation, the construction of a single chart which would serve for a… more

Electron Loading and High Voltage Sparking of Metals in Vacuum

Description: Statistical methods were employed to measure relative values of electron loading and spark-over voltage for a large number of unoutgassed electrode materials. Test voltages up to 110 KV were employed in vacuum of the order of 10<sup>-7 mm Hg. All metals showed a square root dependence between spark-over voltage and spacing.

Full Scale 48 MC Cavity For Sparking Tests of Gaps Corresponding to 0.45 To 4.5 Mev Beam Energy

Description: It is proposed to test gaps corresponding to deuteron energies in the range of 0.45 to 4.5 Mev. The accelerator to be modeled is a 48 mc/sec cylindrical cavity in the TM010 mode with [formula] repeat length, [formula] gap, 0.25 megavolt per cavity foot peak r.f. gradient and strong focusing magnets alternating polarity at each drift tube.

On Neutron Evaporation From Excited Nuclei

Description: At high excitation energies, competition of proton and c-particle emission with neutron emission becomes important. For low excitation, the competition between Y-emission, neutron emission, and fission should be taken into account. To aid in the evaluation of this competition an experiment has been performed to measure the number and energy spectrum of the protons and c-particles emitted in the high energy bombardment of uranium with protons, deuterons, and c-particles.

An Alternate Interpretation of the Results on then p-Meson Decay Electron Spectrum

Description: We have preliminarily reported the interpretation of our experimental results that the intensity of the spectrum at the maximum energy was zero. But, as reported in the second paper UCRL-1261 we found that the results may also be fitted to a different spectrum with finite intensity at the maximum energy. Quite recently, however, the most probable value for the mass of the p-meson has been revised by two independent groups based on two different experiments.

Energy Spectrum of 320 Mev Deuterons From He3

Description: The previous calculation of the energy spectrum of the high energy deuteron beam from the stripping of He3 (UCRL-2150) was thought to be in error, especially as regards the low energy tail, on the basis of some experiments with the neutron time-of-flight detector, which indicated a considerably narrower spectrum than that calculated in UCRL-2150. Since the value used for the attenuation cross section of deuterons in uranium is considerably lower than that presently considered correct a new calc… more

Stopping Power and Ion Density

Description: A "particle" of charge Ze moves with velocity v, mass M, energy [formula], through a "substance" of atomic number Zo, density N atoms/cm3. We have to consider the process of slowing down, and the nature of the trail of ions produced. Very slow particles are of little interest, as their range is very short. If Z is large, or if the particle is an electron, there are complications which we postpone. Thus, our considerations will apply particularly to protons, deuterons, o< -particles, and mesons.

Dynamics of Stagewise Extraction Columns

Description: A calculation method has been developed in order to correlate continuous-flow extraction results in mixer-settlers with rate data for batch experiments. This correlation utilizes dynamic extraction coefficients (E's) that are calculated from the rate data and the equilibrium extraction coefficients. The dynamic coefficients may then be used in stage-by-stage calculations, or their average values used in equations derived herein from the overall performance of center-fed columns.

Separation of Iron and Cobalt on Synthetic Resin

Description: Recent studies on the separation of cobalt and nickel and on the behavior of iron in hydrochloric acid on Dowex-1 resin in relation to the selective adsorption of chloride complexes of these elements have suggested the use of resin for the separation of iron and cobalt.

Bond Energies, Valence State Energies And Resonance¹,²

Description: Previous attempts to interpret chemical structure in terms of x-electron resonance have been recently criticized. A reinterpretation of the lengths of the C-C bonds in terms of orbital radii has not revealed any effects of x-electron resonance in the ground states of classical molecules such as 1, 3-butadiene, methyl acetylene, etc. Even in a non-classical molecule such as benzene, resonance shortening of the CC bond is only in terms of the strengths of the hybrid orbitals. If the lengths and f… more

Vibrational States Of The HD⁺ And HT⁺ Ions

Description: The vibrational eigenvalues belonging to the ground electronic state of the HD<sup>+ and HT<sup>+ ions have been calculated. These calculations have been done for the J = 0 rotational state and neglecting the dynamic corrections to the potential. For the HD<sup>+ ion we find twenty-two bound states, and for the HT<sup>+ ion twenty three bound states.

Semiempirical Correlation Of BU⁺ Annihilation Rates In Metals

Description: It is shown that the annihilation rates of positrons in metals can be correlated to a good degree by a simple model of the annihilation process based on an assumption that the fractional number of electrons available for annihilation varies as the inverse of the atomic volume of the metal.
