Heavy mass states

Description: The indirect evidence for the production of a heavy lepton and direct evidence for the product of a new hadronic state or states in proton-proton interactions is considered for the interpretation requiring the existence of two more leptons and two new quarks. It is shown that such a picture is consistent and in good agreement with existing data. The new structure is located at M = 9.54 GeV/c/sup 2/ and is much wider than the experimental resolution. Also it is asymmetric, suggesting the presenc… more

Cryogenic recovery analysis of forced flow supercritical helium cooled superconductors

Description: A coupled heat conduction and fluid flow method of solution was presented for cryogenic stability analysis of cabled composite superconductors of large scale magnetic coils. The coils are cooled by forced flow supercritical helium in parallel flow channels. The coolant flow reduction in one of the channels during the spontaneous recovery transient, after the conductor undergoes a transition from superconducting to resistive, necessitates a parallel channel analysis. A way to simulate the parall… more

Access control system for ISABELLE

Description: An access system based on the one now in operation at the CERN ISR is recommended. Access doors would presumably be located at the entrances to the utility tunnels connecting the support buildings with the ring. Persons requesting access would insert an identity card into a scanner to activate the system. The request would be autologged, the keybank adjacent to the door would be unlocked and ISABELLE operations would be notified. The operator would then select the door, activating a TV-audio li… more

Review of experiments

Description: A study was made to examine the effects which raising the ISA from 200 x 200 GeV to 400 x 400 GeV would have on the ''canonical'' experiments. These were ''canonical'' in the sense that they span the full range of foreseeable physics and have served as topics in previous Summer Studies and Workshops which resulted in quite explicit hardware designs and experimental goals. The study results indicate that all of the ''canonical'' experiments survive. Some are actually improved, some are unaffecte… more

Relativistic heavy ion reactions

Description: The present status of the study of central collisions of relativistic heavy ions is presented. The phenomenology is described, and evidence is presented for a source of nucleons from a central region caused by the overlapping densities of the target and projectile. Some of the current theoretical approaches are described including the nuclear fireball model. It appears that there is a quasi-equilibrated region at high temperature, but the signature for the expected effects of high density is no… more

Diagnostics of inertial confinement fusion experiments

Description: The requirements of plasma temperature and particle energies are effectively the same for inertial confinement fusion, ICF, and magnetic containment fusion, MCF. The n/tau product must also be similar; however, in ICF we increase the density to achieve efficient fuel burn up. Reactor gain pellets are expected to require densities of up to 10/sup 4/ x liquid density of DT. This corresponds to n approximately 10/sup 26/ cm-/sup 3/. The dimensions of the compressed core are of the order of microns… more

Role of statistical linearization in the solution of nonlinear stochastic equations

Description: The solution of a generalized Langevin equation is referred to as a stochastic process. If the external forcing function is Gaussian white noise, the forward Kolmogarov equation yields the transition probability density function. Nonlinear problems must be handled by approximation procedures e.g., perturbation theories, eigenfunction expansions, and nonlinear optimization procedures. After some comments on the first two of these, attention is directed to the third, and the method of statistical… more

Laser fusion implosion and plasma interaction experiments

Description: Results related to the propagation, absorption and scattering of laser light by both spherical and planar targets are described. The absorption measurements indicate that for intensities of interest, inverse bremsstrahlung is not the dominant absorption mechanism. The laser light scattered by the plasma is polarization dependent and provides evidence that Brillouin scattering and resonance absorption are operative. Special diagnostics have been designed and experiments have been performed to el… more

Diffusion model predictions for kinetic energy, mass, angular distributions, and. gamma. -ray multiplicities in heavy ion induced reactions

Description: In the present formalism the diffusion along the mass asymmetry coordinate has been generalized by refining the treatment of the radial and angular motion necessary for an adequate reproduction of the kinetic energy and angular distributions. The radial potential is used to evaluate the radial force. The interaction time and the average penetration for each l-wave are estimated. The diffusion calculation is then carried out for the duration of the interaction time. The angular rotation during d… more
