Analytic Approach for the Pion-Proton Scattering Phase Shifts

Description: A simple method of solving for the phase shifts of the pion-proton scattering is presented. The rapid solution afforded can be utilized, as the Ashkin diagrams have been employed, to give starting values to an electronic computer or alternatively to analyze with more ease the variation of the phase shifts as a function of the input data in terms of the coefficients of the angular distributions. A new plot of a function of the total cross section versus the pion energy is introduced. The nearly … more

Research on Uranium-Base Alloys. Part I, Transformation Kinetics of Uranium-Base Alloys, Final Report, November 15, 1952 - August 31, 1955

Description: Information concerning the transformation kinetics of the gamma solid solution of uranium-base alloys is important. Accordingly, the metastability of the gamma phase was investigated for nine uranium-rich alloys of the U-Mo-Pt, U-Mo-Nb, and U-Nb systems. Samples were encapsulated in Vycor bulbs, solutions treated at 1000 decrees or 1050 degrees C, quenched to and annealed at temperatures between 600 degrees and 300 degrees C. Techniques employed to follow transformation included metallography, … more

A Simple Sweeping-Image Camera (Chronograph) with 10-8 Second Resolution

Description: A sweeping-image camera design of flexible application and easy construction is described. It is equally useful for bread-board, optical bench, or completely engineered construction. The heart of this camera is the optical train which consists of a collimator lens that renders the light from the image points into parallel beams, a rotating mirror to sweep these beams in an arc, and a box camera set at infinity focus to receive the reflected beams. The sweeping light beams form images which move… more

Flotation Characteristics of Florida Phosphate Leached-Zone Material, Progress Report No . 7

Description: Although the results reported herein are rather encouraging and show the possibilities of utilizing flotation to increase recoveries and in some instances grades, they should not not be considered an optimum. As stated previously, time did not permit a detailed investigation of all reagents an conditions to obtain maximum grades and recoveries, but sufficient data, with enough typical samples, have been obtained to indicate a definite trend and encouragement for further studies. A comparison of… more

Datatron digital Computer Program for least-Squares Analysis of Variance

Description: A digital computer program for calculating least-squares solutions and making analyses of variance of sets of overdetermined linear equations is described. The entire code is reproduced with sufficient description of the program to enable anyone familiar with the Electrodata Datatron Computer to use it for similar problems.

A Method for Monochromatizating and Precise Point Focusing of X-Rays and its Application in Low Angle Diffraction Studies

Description: A principle for bending crystals with a minimum of strain so that they will focus x-rays and gamma-rays accurately to a point is explained. Detailed calculations are made of the aberrations in the foci resulting from various applications of the principle. the application of the principle in making a point focusing monochromator for low angle x-ray diffraction studies is discussed, and theoretical and experimental determinations of the reflection coefficient of the crystal are compared. A few ex… more

Studies on the Experimental Pathology and Biochemistry of the Pulmonary Granulomatosis of Beryllium Workers. Section II, Consolidated Progress Report. Supplement: a Review of the Physical Chemistry of Beryllium

Description: The status of research is reviewed in a study of pulmonary granulomatosis in beryllium workers. Equipment for use in dust exposure studies is described. Preliminary results are reported from studies on the tissue distribution and pathological effects of beryllium dust in rats; the physical chemistry of solutions of beryllium salts; the effects of beryllium on enzyme systems, and the effects of ascorbic acid on beryllium excretion.

Angular Distribution of Fragments from the Photofission of U238

Description: Ilford D1 and Eastman NTC nuclear emulsions have been loaded with a solution of uranium acetate and them exposed to the X-ray beam of the Case betatron operated at 18 Mev. The developed plates have been searched wit a Zeiss type microscope. A total number of 1062 fission tracks have been measured and analyzed and the angular distribution of the fission fragments in center of mas system has been obtained.
