TABLE OF CONTENTS Page PREFACE iii BIBLIOGRAPHY 1 AUTHOR INDEX 109 SUBJECT INDEX 125 ii PREFACE This publication list is a bibliography of scientific and technical accounts originated at Argonne and published during the fiscal year 1964 (July 1, 1963 through June 30, 1964). It includes items published as journal articles, technical reports, books, etc., all of which have been made available to the public. The list is divided into three parts. The first is a bibliographic list of publications sorted according to organizational Division of the Laboratory. The Divisional affiliation of each author is indicated by letters in parentheses, the abbreviated designations being as follows: AM Applied Mathematics Division BM Biological and Medical Research Division CE Chemical Engineering Division CM Chemistry Division CS Central Shops Department EL Electronics Division FD Fire Protection Department HD Health Division HP High Energy Physics Division ID Idaho Division IH Industrial Hygiene and Safety Division II Institute of Nuclear Science and Engineering LD Laboratory Director's Office LS Library Services MT Metallurgy Division PA Particle Accelerator Division PE Plant Engineering Division PH Physics Division RC Remote Control Engineering Division RE Reactor Engineering Division RF Reactor Physics Division RO Reactor Operations Division RP Radiological Physics Division SM Special Materials and Services Division SS Solid State Science Division TP Technical Publications Department The second part is an alphabetical author index. A code number given in the right hand column guides the reader to the bibliographic entry in the first part. Thus code nunnber AM 1120 refers to item 1120 under the Applied Mathematics Division. Since the bibliography is arranged alpha­ betically according to Division name, item 1120 AM appears before item 1080 BM. Ill The third part consists of a KWIC (key word in context) subject index. Thus indexing is by title only. To improve indexing some compound words have been divided into two or more words, and formulas and symbols have been spelled out. Occasionally when the title did not seem to portray the subject of the paper adequately for this type of indexing, descriptive words have been added. All such added words are separated from the title by asterisks. Also, all foreign language titles have been translated into English Each key word is listed alphabetically on the left. The full title from which it was selected is columnated in the center. Here again the bibliographic code number is given in the right hand column, referring the reader to the entry in the first section. The data for this list were collected by the Technical Publications Department; the system coding and machine operations were performed by the Applied Mathematics Division. Similar lists of articles published during fiscal years 1962 and 1963 were issued as reports ANL-6624 and ANL-6761. Reprints of journal articles are distributed by authors to requestors as long as copies are available. Requests should be addressed directly to the authors. iv BIBLIOGRAPHY (AM) APPLIED MATHEMATICS DIVISION AM 1784 SANATHANAN. C.K. (RE) AND KOERNER.

  • Neutron Activation Analyses and Half-Life Measurements at the Usgs Triga Reactor
    NEUTRON ACTIVATION ANALYSES AND HALF-LIFE MEASUREMENTS AT THE USGS TRIGA REACTOR by Robert E. Larson A thesis submitted to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Applied Physics). Golden, Colorado Date Signed: Robert E. Larson Signed: Dr. Uwe Greife Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date Signed: Dr. Thomas E. Furtak Professor and Head Department of Physics ii ABSTRACT Neutron activation of materials followed by gamma spectroscopy using high-purity ger- manium detectors is an e↵ective method for making measurements of nuclear beta decay half-lives and for detecting trace amounts of elements present in materials. This research explores applications of neutron activation analysis (NAA) in two parts. Part 1. High Precision Methods for Measuring Decay Half-Lives, Chapters 1 through 8 Part one develops research methods and data analysis techniques for making high pre- cision measurements of nuclear beta decay half-lives. The change in the electron capture half-life of 51Cr in pure chromium versus chromium mixed in a gold lattice structure is ex- plored, and the 97Ru electron capture decay half-life are compared for ruthenium in a pure crystal versus ruthenium in a rutile oxide state, RuO2.Inaddition,thebeta-minusdecay half-life of 71mZn is measured and compared with new high precision findings. Density Func- tional Theory is used to explain the measured magnitude of changes in electron capture half-life from changes in the surrounding lattice electron configuration. Part 2. Debris Collection Nuclear Diagnostic at the National Ignition Facility, Chapters 9 through 11 Part two explores the design and development of a solid debris collector for use as a diagnostic tool at the National Ignition Facility (NIF).

  • I. Fast Neutron Cross Sections of Elemental Titanium Microscopic Measurement and Interpretation
    I. Fast Neutron Cross Sections of Elemental Titanium Microscopic Measurement and Interpretation Physical Studies by: B. Barnard, J.A.M. de Villiers and D. Reitmann South African Atomic Energy Board Pelindaba Transvaal, Republic of South Africa and A. B. Smith, E. M. Pennington and J. F. Whalen Argonne National Laboratory Argonne, Illinois . ABSTRACT Neutron total, and elastic- and inelastic-scattering croes sections of natural titanium «ere measured. Total cross sections were determined over the interval 0.1 to 1.5 MeV with resolutions of & 1.5 keV. Differen­ tial elastic and inelastic neutron scattering angular distributions were measured from 0 .3 to 1.5 MeV with resolutions of £ 5 keV. The cross sec­ tions for the inelastic neutron excitation of states in ^6Ti (889.2 keV), **®Т1 (983.5 keV) and **7Т1 (159.6 keV) were determined. The energy-averaged behavior of the measured results was described in terms of optical- and statistical-models. A. Introduction It was the objective of this work to; a) provide a detailed and internally consistent set of experimental fast neutron cross sections of titanim specifically meeting requests for basic data"*" and providing a foundation for thorough evaluation, and b) test the validity of nuclear description of a number of facets of the neutron-nucleus interaction. The isotopes of titanium lie near the 3S peak of the i ■ 0 strength 2 function distribution. The measured strength functions in this region 3 have been well described by selected optical-potentials but the descrip­ tion of measured partial neutron cross sections at higher incident energies is uncertain due, in part, to a lack of detailed experimental information.

To gain new insights into the processes that control Ti isotopic variations in planetary materials, 25 komatiites, 15 chondrites, 11 HED-clan meteorites, 5 angrites, 6 aubrites, a martian shergottite, and a KREEP-rich impact melt breccia have been analyzed for their mass-dependent Ti isotopic compositions, presented using the d49Ti notation (devi- ation in permil of the 49Ti/47Ti ratio relative to the OL-Ti standard). No significant variation in d49Ti is found among ordi- nary, enstatite, and carbonaceous chondrites, and the average chondritic d49Ti value of +0.004 ± 0.010‰ is in excellent agreement with the published estimate for the bulk silicate Earth, the Moon, Mars, and the HED and angrite parent- bodies.

    Honors UNIT 2: Atomic Theory Section 1: Atom Basics Section 2: Isotopes Section 3: Electron Configuration Section 4: History of Atomic Theory UNIT 2 Synapsis In our second unit we will take a in depth look at atoms. We will start in parts 1 and 2 with some basic things that you may already know, and a few other basic things you may not know. Then we will explore how atoms of the same element can be different because of how many neutrons they have. In part 3 we will look at how the “behavior” of the electrons in an atom can be described by brushing the surface of quantum mechanics. Finally we will wrap up the unit by learning about some of the major discoveries and people that brought us to our current understanding of atoms. Section 1: Atom Basics … Section 1: Atom Basics / Objectives After this lesson I can… • …define an atom & its three parts. • …Identify an element when give a number of protons and a Periodic Table • …recall the charge, mass, symbol and location of all three sub atomic particles. • …give an analogy for the size of the nucleus compared to the rest of the atom. • …recall that the strong nuclear force and the neutrons are what overcome the repulsive force between the protons and holds the nucleus together in stable atoms. Protons • Atoms are the fundamental building block of matter and we learned previously that matter is basically everything. • All atoms are 1 of 118 elements. • An element is the type or identity of an atom and is determined by the number of protons the atom has.

  • Chemical and Mechanical Properties of Titanium and Its Alloys
    Chemical and Mechanical Properties of Titanium and Its Alloys Abstract: Titanium, like other elements, is a composite of several isotopes, which range in atomic weight from 46 to 50. The proportions of these isotopes have been computed from spectrographic analysis. Mathematical calculations employing the proportions and mass numbers have assigned titanium a mean atomic weight of 47.88. Unalloyed titanium may have tensile strengths ranging from 250 MPa for high purity metal produced by the iodide reduction process to 700 MPa for metal produced with sponge titanium of high hardness. The arc-melted unalloyed titanium products are reasonably ductile. Chemical Properties Titanium, like other elements, is a composite of several isotopes, which range in atomic weight from 46 to 50. The proportions of these isotopes have been computed from spectrographic analysis. Mathematical calculations employing the proportions and mass numbers have assigned titanium a mean atomic weight of 47.88. Titanium has a large capture cross-section, and five other isotopes of titanium have been identified. Titanium 43 has a half-life of 0.58 second and is a beta positive emitter. Titanium 45 has two forms, one a beta positive and gamma emitter with a half-life of 3.08 hours and a second form with a half-life of 21 days. Titanium 51 has a half-life of 72 days and is a beta negative and gamma emitter. There is also a meta stable form of titanium 51, which has a half-life of 6 minutes and is also a gamma and beta negative emitter. Valence. As is characteristic of transition elements, titanium has a variable valence and occurs commonly in the bi-, tri-, and tetra-valent states.

    September 20, 2002 LETTER REPORT ON RADIATION PROTECTION ADVICE FOR PULSED FAST NEUTRON ANALYSIS SYSTEM USED IN SECURITY SURVEILLANCE To: Thomas W. Cassidy, President Sensor Concepts & Applications, Inc. 14101 A Blenheim Road Phoenix, Maryland 21131 From: Thomas S. Tenforde President National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements Preface This letter report has been prepared at the request of Sensor Concepts and Applications, Inc., (SCA) of Phoenix, Maryland. SCA working with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and other federal agencies, with the responsibility for control of Commerce between the United States, Mexico, and Canada, asked the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) for advice regarding a Pulsed Fast Neutron Analysis (PFNA) System. The PFNA system is being evaluated as a security surveillance device. Specific questions on which NCRP’s advice was requested are the following. a) What is the appropriate dose limit for persons inadvertently irradiated by the PFNA system? b) What are the proper methods to determine the dose received? c) In the opinion of NCRP, can the use of the PFNA system could result in levels of activation products in pharmaceuticals and medical devices that might be of concern to public health. This letter report addresses these three questions. Serving on the NCRP Scientific Committee (SC 1-11) that prepared this report were: Leslie A. Braby, Chairman Texas A&M University College Station, Texas 1 Lawrence R. Greenwood Susan D. Wiltshire Pacific Northwest Laboratory J. K.
