Control of indoor radon and radon progeny concentrations

Description: There are three general categories of techniques for the control of radon and radon progeny concentrations in indoor air - restriction of radon entry, reduction of indoor radon concentrations by ventilation or air cleaning, and removal of airborne radon progeny. The predominant radon entry process in most residences appears to be pressure driven flow of soil gas through cracks or other openings in the basement, slab, or subfloor. Sealing these openings or ventilation of the subslab or subfloor … more

New rf power system for SuperHILAC

Description: The upgraded rf system for the SuperHILAC is now operational using 9 new tetrode amplifiers. Each amplifier can produce in excess of 1MW of 70 Mhz pulsed rf power. Ferrite is used to decouple the screen grid circuit and to absorb parasitic oscillations. This results in a very stable amplifier with reasonable gain. This system uses a common 8 MW anode power supply and crowbar system. Overall system efficiency has been increased significantly. We project a 3 year payback on the equipment cost, re… more

Lattice and bypass design for a coherent xuv facility

Description: The design of a magnet lattice and bypass for a coherent radiation facility is discussed. The lattice is the missing magnet FODO structure first proposed by Vignola for a 6 GeV light source. This has been adapted for a 750-1300 MeV electron storage ring for use with both conventional insertion devices and a high gain FEL optimized for output at 400 A. The latter device requires that the electron bunch be deflected into a small aperture bypass, then reinjected into the ring where the perturbing … more

Application of a dc SQUID to rf Amplification: NQR

Description: Superconducting QUantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs) have been used for more than a decade for the detection of magnetic resonance. Until recently, these devices had mostly been confined to operation in the audiofrequency range, so that experiments have been restricted to measurements of resonance at low frequencies, or of changes in the static susceptibility of a sample induced by rf irradiation at the resonant frequency. However, the recent extension of the operating range of low noise dc SQ… more

Nu shifts in betatron oscillations from uniform perturbations in the presence of non-linear magnetic guide fields

Description: Uniform magnetic field perturbations cause a closed orbit distortion in a circular accelerator. If the magnetic guide field is non-linear these perturbations can also cause a Nu shift in the betatron oscillations. Such a shift in radial Nu values has been observed in the Bevalac while studying the low energy resonant extraction system. In the Bevalac, the radial perturbation comes from the quadrants being magnetically about 0.8% longer than 90/sup 0/. The normal effect of this type of perturbat… more

Effect of focusing field nonlinearities in MBE-4 on transverse beam dynamics

Description: A particle simulation code was used to study the effect on transverse beam dynamics of nonlinearities of the focusing field in a linear accelerator transporting a multiple beam array. Nonlinear field strengths for various multiple-beam design geometries were calculated by relaxation codes for use in the simulation calculation. Nonlinearities due to asymmetry of the electrode array with respect to a single beam were found to be negligible. Electrode end effect nonlinearities led to emittance gro… more

High temperature experiment for accelerator inertial fusion

Description: The High Temperature Experiment (HTE) is intended to produce temperatures of 50 to 100 eV in solid density targets driven by heavy ion beams from a multiple beam induction linac. The fundamental variables (particle species, energy, number of beamlets, current and pulse length) must be fixed to achieve the temperature at minimum cost, subject to criteria of technical feasibility and relevance to the development of a Fusion Driver. The conceptual design begins with an assumed (radiation-limited) … more

Spin-polarization observables in elastic electron scattering from spin-1/2 nuclei

Description: Using the formalism of nucleon-nucleon scattering as a starting point, electron scattering from spin-1/2 nuclei is examined. It is seen that high-energy electron-nucleon scattering, for example, exhibits a remarkable simplicity when compared with that of nucleon-nucleon scattering. The 6 amplitudes and 36 nucleon-nucleon observables are reduced to 3 and 9, respectively, by the relativistic nature of the electron. The one-photon exchange mechanism finally reduces the number of amplitudes and ind… more

Biological and Physical Inventory of Clear Creek, Orofino Creek, and the Potlatch River, Tributary Streams of the Clearwater River, Idaho, 1984 Technical Report.

Description: Clear Creek, Orofino Creek, and Potlatch Creek, three of the largest tributaries of the lower Clearwater River Basin, were inventoried during 1984. The purpose of the inventory was to identify where anadromous salmonid production occurs and to recommend enhancement alternatives to increase anadromous salmonid habitat in these streams. Anadromous and fluvial salmonids were found in all three drainages. The lower reach of Clear Creek supported a low population of rainbow-steelhead, while the midd… more

Transportable charge in a periodic alternating gradient system

Description: A simple set of formulas is derived which relate emittance, line charge density, matched maximum and average envelope radii, occupancy factors, and the (space charge) depressed and vacuum values of tune. This formulation is an improvement on the smooth limit approximation; deviations from exact (numerically determined) relations are on the order of +-2%, while the smooth limit values are in error by up to +-30%. This transport formalism is used to determine the limits of transportable line char… more

Coherent instability and ion trapping considerations for Aladdin lattices

Description: This paper presents the results of an investigation of the effects of ions and coherent collective instabilities on bunched electron beams circulating in the various Aladdin lattices considered in the Aladdin Upgrade Study. It is aimed particularly at identifying those collective and ion phenomena that may be limiting the performance of the present Aladdin with low energy (100 MeV) injection, at ascertaining which of these phenomena would still remain and limit the performance with a full energ… more

Surface extended x-ray absorption fine structure of low-Z absorbates using fluorescence detection

Description: Comparison of x-ray fluorescence yield (FY) and electron yield surface extended x-ray absorption fine structure spectra above the S K-edge for c(2 x 2) S on Ni(100) reveals an order of magnitude higher sensitivity of the FY technique. Using FY detection, thiophene (C/sub 4/H/sub 4/S) chemisorption on Ni(100) is studied with S coverages down to 0.08 monolayer. The molecule dissociates at temperatures as low as 100K by interaction with fourfold hollow Ni sites. Blocking of these sites by oxygen l… more

Measurements of stability limits for a space-charge-dominated ion beam in a long A. G. transport channel

Description: The Single Beam Transport Experiment at LBL consists of 82 electrostatic quadrupole lenses arranged in a FODO lattice. Five further lenses provide a matched beam from a high-current high-brightness cesium source for injection into the FODO channel. We call the transport conditions stable if both the emittance and current remain unchanged between the beginning and end of the channel, and unstable if either the emittance grows or the current decreases because of collective effects. We have explor… more

High-spin properties of some nuclei around A = 160

Description: Two new types of behavior have been observed in /sup 156/Er. The first is a terminating band ending on a 42+ fully aligned state. The second is a strong cross feeding among four negative parity bands, due most likely to a severe reduction or collapse of the neutron pairing. In /sup 158/Er we have found two sequences feeding the 38+ level; one slow and one fast. This suggests that some feeding goes through regions of oblate (or nearly so) shapes, and some does not. Lifetimes have been determined… more
