Active Stark Atomic Spectroscopy (ASAS) method can be used to determine the electric field in the diode of an ion or electron accelerator as a function of position and time, including the positions of anode and cathode plasma emission surfaces (in order to obtain the effective accelerating gap). As possible probe beams, we suggest the use of lithium and sodium atoms. The diagnostic provides a m...

Technetium-99 is a long-lived, high-abundance fission product which has been widely distributed in the environment through atmospheric testing, the nuclear fuel cycle, and nuclear medicine. It has a high potential for migration in the environment as the pertechnetate anion. At the Center for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry, methods are being developed for the detection of this radionuclide by acc...

Samples of soil, water, aluminum, copper and iron were irradiated in the stray radiation field generated by the interaction of a 28.5 GeV electron beam in a copper-dump in the Beam Dump East facility at SLAC. The specific activity induced in the samples was measured by gamma spectroscopy and other techniques. In addition, the isotope production in the samples was calculated with detailed Monte ...

several 10-substituted anthralins were readily prepared. their oxidation with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone gave the corresponding novel heteroatomic systems. all derivatives were fully characterized by ir, mass and 1hnmr spectroscopy.

A mass accelerator system using a series of imploded annular plasma pinches to propel projectiles of mass ranging from grams to kilograms up to high velocities is analyzed theoretically. Such a device would have applications ranging from basic materials and impact studies to space probe launching and impact fusion.
