Review of free electron laser theory and experiments

Description: A review of the major Free Electron Laser (FEL) experiments will be presented. These experiments are designed to produce radiation at wavelengths from the far infrared to the ultraviolet. Different categories of FELs (Compton, Raman, optical klystron, two stage, etc.), as well as the suitability of various types of electron accelerators to power FELs, will also be discussed. Potential applications of the FEL will be summarized.

Clinch River breeder reactor sodium fire protection system design and development

Description: To assure the protection of the public and plant equipment, improbable accidents were hypothesized to form the basis for the design of safety systems. One such accident is the postulated failure of the Intermediate Heat Transfer System (IHTS) piping within the Steam Generator Building (SGB), resulting in a large-scale sodium fire. This paper discusses the design and development of plant features to reduce the consequences of the accident to acceptable levels. Additional design solutions were ma… more

Forward-backward asymmetries in W and Z decays

Description: The leptons emitted in decays of W and Z bosons produced in pp or anti pp collisions exhibit characteristic asymmetries with respect to the beam direction, as measured in the W or Z center-of-mass. The asymmetries appear in both pp and anti pp collisions. For anti pp collisions they appear to be approximately constant over the whole y range for values of M/..sqrt..s greater than or equal to 0.1. For smaller values of M/..sqrt..s, the asymmetries become more and more washed out in the central re… more

Control of Oxidation Potential for Basalt Repository Simulation Tests

Description: Borosilicate waste glass durability in simulated repository environments can be assessed by use of static tests in leach vessels fabricated of the representative geomedia. Control of the oxidation potential during the test simulates a basalt repository environment. Under very anoxic conditions (i.e., at negative Eh values) the interactions between basalt and SRP waste glass in silica-saturated basaltic groundwaters are the same as those of basalt and groundwater when no waste glass is present. … more
