Uranium hexafluoride is the working fluid in the gas centrifuge. a need exists for uf6 assay determination in a fully automated system in real-time. this project addresses the conceptual development of a new ion trap time-of-flight method for monitoring the relative proportions of closely spaced ion… More

This project will establish the potential for rapid response, high resolution detection and characterization of infrared (ir) active pollutant molecules, such as s02, n0, and n02. miniature optical heat pipes will be constructed and optimized for the generation of tunable ir laser light by means of… More

The successful operation of the superconducting super collider requires minimizing the effects of photo-stimulated desorption (psd) of h2, co, co2, and other gases from the beam line that is exposed to high fluxes of synchrotron radiation. this project establishes the methodology for a better… More
