Californium Isotopes From Bombardment of Uranium With Carbonions

Description: The recent production and identification of isotopes of elements with atomic numbers up to six higher than the target element through bombardment with hexapositive 120-Mev carbon ions made it seem worthwhile to apply this technique to the transuranium region. Accordingly, small pieces of natural uranium metal (about 0.5 mil thick and 205 cm by 0.6 cm area) were irradiated in the internal carbon ion beam in the Berkeley 60-inch cyclotron. Following the irradiations, the uranium was dissolved in … more

PHYSICS DIV. QUARTERLY REPORT, MAY, JUNE, JULY, 1950

Description: The X-ray Spectrum Produced by 322 Mev Electrons Striking a Platinum Target. The differential energy spectrum of the photons produced by 322 Mev electrons striking a 20 mil platinum target was measured by observing the energy of 3467 pairs produced in a one mil thick lead foil in a Wilson cloud chamber in a magnetic field of 10,000 gauss. The spectrum is found to agree with that predicted by the Bethe-Heitler bremsstrahlung theory using a Thomas-Fermi model with suitable corrections for the thi… more

Wind-Tunnel Investigation of the Low-Speed Longitudinal and Lateral Control Characteristics of a Triangular-Wing Model of Aspect Ratio 2.31 Having Constant-Chord Control Surfaces

Description: Report presenting a wind-tunnel investigation to determine the low-speed longitudinal and lateral control characteristics of a model with a triangular wing with NACA 65(06)-006.5 airfoil sections, aspect ratio 2.31, and constant-chord control surfaces. The values of the hinge-moment parameters were found to be of somewhat greater magnitude than would be expected on unswept wings with the same aspect ratio.

[Puppet show forest scene]

Description: Photograph of a forest scene from the The Dean Raymond Puppet Show featuring two puppets. The canine puppet with an eyepatch and the longhorn puppet wearing a plaid shirt hold a long "saw" between them and appear to have cut down a tree. A miniature tree log sits in front of them on the puppet stage.
