High-field dipoles for future accelerators

Description: This report presents the concept for building superconducting accelerator dipoles with record high fields. Economic considerations favor the highest possible current density in the windings. Further discussion indicates that there is an optimal range of pinning strength for a superconducting material and that it is not likely for multifilamentary conductors to ever equal the potential performance of tape conductors. A dipole design with a tape-wound, inner high-field winding is suggested. Metho… more

Investigations of molecular orbitals with accel-decel beams

Description: Quasimolecular transition energies can be found directly from the impact-parameter dependence of interference structure observed in measured K x-ray spectra. As these experiments require a K-vacancy bearing projectile at collision velocities small compared to the equivalent K-shell electron velocity, the accel-decel technique has to be used. Such an experiment was performed at the BNL Tandem Accel-Decel Facility for collisions of Cl/sup 16 +/ with Ar at energies ranging from 2.5 to 20 MeV. A ne… more
