Radioactive zinc ( sup 65 Zn), zinc, cadmium, and mercury in the Pacific Hake, Merluccius productus (Ayres), off the West Coast of the United States

Description: The Pacific Hake, Merluccius productus (Ayers) was used to monitor the waters off Puget Sound and the West Coast of the US for zinc(Zn), cadmium(Cd), mercury(Hg) and {sup 65}Zn. The Columbia River is not the source of Zn, Cd or Hg contamination, but is the source of {sup 65}Zn, with the concentration in the Hake reflecting the position of the Columbia River plume. Zn and Cd accumulation in the Hake were fit to the equation Y=B{sub 1}+B{sub 2}e{sup B}{sub 3}X where Y is the concentration of the … more

Rain scavenging studies. Progress report No. 10

Description: Studies conducted over the last few years on the observations and measurements made in the field on 1 June 1970 are assembled and interpreted in terms of the modelling of convective shower systems and their scavenging patterns. The modelling of cloud microphysics in relation to precipitation generation and scavenging as well as convective system dynamics is also discussed. It is suggested that parameterizations of the microphysical processes and the fine-scale dynamics will probably have to be … more

Patterns of Geothermal Lease Acquisition in the Imperial Valley: 1958--1974

Description: Patterns for the development of geothermal resources in the Imperial Valley are analyzed, with particular consideration of corporate behavior in geothermal development. Actions of the companies were examined over a period of time to discover patterns of involvement, investment, and likelihood of further development. Discussion is presented under the following section headings: research organization; legal aspects; characteristics of development; location of geothermal leases; analysis of major … more

A search for direct muon production in the forward direction

Description: We propose to search for direct muon production in the forward direction from 300 GeV protons incident on a heavy nuclear target. By using the first stage of the Ml beam as a source of a diffracted proton beam and the second and third stages of Ml as a spectrometer, one can make a measurement of the direct muon to pion ratio at values of x between 0.3 and 0.75. If this ratio is on the order of 10{sup -4}, the event rates are on the order of 800 direct muons/hr. at an x of .5. The modifications … more

TEST OF A LIQUID ARGON CHAMBER WITH 20-u m RMS RESOLUTION

Description: A measurement of the spatial resolution of a liquid-argon filled chamber was performed with minimum ionizing particles. Two multi-strip chambers with 20-{micro}m strip spacing operating in the ionization mode were used in the experiment. They perform in accordance with a simple model based on electron diffusion. An estimate of the amount of electron diffusion in liquid argon is given and the time jitter distribution has a FWHM of 200 ns. Under best conditions, the spatial resolution is better t… more

LIQUID XENON MULTIWIRE PROPORTIONAL CHAMBERS FOR NUCLEAR MEDICINEAPPLICATIONS

Description: The need for improved spatial resolution in nuclear medicine has long been recognized. Notable attempts to achieve this goal are the gas-filled wire chambers and solid-state detectors. (1) However, at energies above 100 keV, gas-filled chambers suffer from poor detection efficiency and a long recoil electron range in the gas. While it is advantageous to pressurize these chambers to 10 or more atmospheres, structural design of the thin window presents a formidable task. High-resolution optimal c… more
