Search for anti-neutrino induced muon+ e- events

Description: The authors have examined 1200 interactions with visible energies greater than 7.5 GeV produced by an anti-neutrino beam in the Fermilab 15-foot bubble chamber filled with a light neon hydrogen mixture. They have found one event with a {mu}{sup +}e{sup -} and hadrons in the final state, but with no evidence of strange particle production. This event may be an example of dilepton production by an anti-neutrino interaction, but other interpretations are possible. With 90% confidence, they conclud… more

Study of practical cycles for geothermal power plants. Interim report, June 15, 1975-March 31, 1976

Description: The preliminary analysis is described in a study of practical cycles for geothermal power plants. The analysis is based on three different brines whose temperatures and composition span the range that is of practical interest for power generation. Only two kinds of cycles were considered in the analysis - the steam turbine cycle and the binary cycle, in which energy from the geothermal fluid is transferred to a secondary working fluid in a closed Rankine cycle. The performance of several condid… more

In-reactor corrosion behavior of stainless steel cladding in high temperature sodium

Description: Sodium-cladding chemical interaction has been studied on fuel pins clad with 20% cold worked type 316 stainless steel and irradiated in the EBR-II at temperatures up to 705/sup 0/C and for exposures to 5300 hours. The measured corrosion rate of the cladding surface immediately above the top of the fuel column was 12.5 ..mu..m per year at 690/sup 0/C. The loss of Ni at 700/sup 0/C resulted in the formation of a ferrite layer approximately 5 ..mu..m thick. A zone depleted in Ni and Cr extends int… more

Fuel Coolant Thermal Interaction Project. Quarterly progress report No. 3, January 31, 1976--March 31, 1976

Description: The objective of the continued work on this project is to experimentally and analytically study the dominant mechanisms in fuel coolant thermal interactions which could lead to vapor explosions. The exploration of mechanisms is focused in two areas: (1) Mechanisms responsible for fragmentation in molten metal droplet experiments (here we will include assessment of the validity of the proposed Spontaneous Nucleation Mechanism); and (2) Thermal Stress Initiated Fracture as a fragmentation mechani… more

Transport modeling in the environment using the discrete-parcel-random-walk approach

Description: When formulating a mathematical model for simulating transport processes in the environment, the system of interest can be viewed as a continuum of matter and energy or as a large set of small discrete parcels of mass and energy. The latter approach is used in the formulation of the Discrete-Parcel-Random-Walk (DPRW) Transport Model. Each parcel has associated with it a set of spatial coordinates as well as a set of discrete quantities of mass and energy. A parcel's movement is assumed to be in… more

Impact parameter study of elastic hadron--proton scattering at 50 and 175 GeV/c. Interim report No. 137. [Differential cross sections, optical model, partial waves]

Description: In hadron-proton collisions at high energies, the impact profile function measures the range and strength of the strong interaction. It determines the effective size and shape of the hadrons involved, for purposes of both elastic scattering and particle production, but depends solely upon the behavior in t of the elastic differential cross-section. Such an analysis of the reactions ..pi.. +- p, K +- p, and p +- p at incident momenta from 50 to 175 GeV/c is presented using the elastic scattering… more

Some effects of magnetic walls on the transverse motion of an intense beam of charged particles

Description: The focusing properties of a magnetic medium surrounding a beam of relativistic particles were examined. The magnitude of the magnetic forces generated by the wall is proportional to the beam current. For a current of the order of 10 kA, significant magnetic field gradients are obtained. It was concluded that the series of structures studied is not satisfactory for providing focusing of an intense beam of particles. However, the characteristics of the transverse forces suggest a method of const… more

Effects of substrate temperature on silicon nitride cracking of beam lead devices during thermocompression wobble bonding

Description: Recent failures in several completed Sandia Laboratories' electronic systems have traced to specific format 25 beam lead transistors and diodes. More extensive failure analysis on the devices showed them to exceed their respective specifications in electrical leakage. All of the failed devices were observed to have one thing in common: cracked silicon nitride over the beams. These observations triggered several investigations to determine if cracked silicon nitride causes electrical failures, w… more
