Guidelines for the Calculation of the Accumulator Magnet Bus Ramps for Fermilab Experiment E835

Description: This report lists the steps that are required to calculate deceleration ramps for all relevant Accumulator devices. The ramps used for the 1996-97 fixed target run (experiment E835) are saved in files associated with ACNET console application PA1627 (PAUX RAMP DEVELOP). These ramps cannot be re-used because the Accumulator {gamma}{sub t} upgrade has significantly changed the lattice since the last time the ramps were used.

Real-Time Monitoring of Low-Level Mixed-Waste Loading during Polyethylene Microencapsulation using Transient Infrared Spectroscopy

Description: In polyethylene microencapsulation, low-level mixed waste (LLMW) is homogenized with molten polyethylene and extruded into containers, resulting in a lighter, lower-volume waste form than cementation and grout methods produce. Additionally, the polyethylene-based waste form solidifies by cooling, with no risk of the waste interfering with cure, as may occur with cementation and grout processes. We have demonstrated real-time monitoring of the polyethylene encapsulation process stream using a no… more

Exploring the Weak Phase Gamma in B+- -> pi K Decays

Description: Measurements of the rates for the hadronic decays B{sup {+-}} {r_arrow} {pi}K along with the CP-averaged B{sup {+-}} {r_arrow} {pi}{sup {+-}} {pi}{sup 0} branching ratio can be used to bound and extract the weak phase {gamma} = arg(V{sub ub}*). Using preliminary CLEO data, we obtain the bounds {vert_bar}{gamma}{vert_bar} > 93{degree} at 1 {sigma}, and {vert_bar}{gamma}{vert_bar} > 71{degree} at 90% confidence level.
