THIS RESEARCH AIMS TO DEVELOP AN IMPROVED SOURCE OF MULTIPLY-CHARGED IONS FOR HEAVY-ION INERTIAL FUSION AND OTHER APPLICATIONS THAT REQUIRE VERY HIGH BRIGHTNESS. A CONVENTIONAL GAS-DISCHARGE SOURCE IS PLANNED THAT DEPENDS ON THE COMBINATION OF TWO ADDITIONAL NOVEL FEATURES. FIRST, THE INITIAL DENSE HOT PLASMA GAS GENERATED FROM A HIGH PRESSURE MICROCAPILLARY DISCHARGE IS FURTHER HEATED BY A LASER ...

41299 November 19, 1996 FM Technologies, Inc. In the Relativistic Klystron Two-Beam Accelerator, which is currently under development, power from a low-energy, high-current, bunched beam is converted to micro-waves via the klystron mechanism and used to provide power for a high-energy linac, specifically a future Next Linear Collider upgrade to l.0 TeV. ...

160 Accelerator Pulse Power Modulators--Diversified Technologies, Inc., 35 Wiggins Avenue, Bedford, MA 01730-2314; (617) 275-9444 Dr. Marcel P.J. Gardeau, Principal Investigator Mr. Michael A. Kempkes, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG02-97ER82358 Amount: $74,938 Linear colliders and accelerators used in high energy physics research require both high peak-power pulse modulators and fast op ...

THE PRESENT NEED TO TEST IR SUPPERSSORS ON APPLICATION ENGINES INCURS SIGNIFICIANT COSTS DUE TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF A FULL-SCALE ENGINE INCLUDING: ITS FUEL UE, SAFE EXHAUST DISPOSAL, AND THE NECESSITY OF UTILIZING FULL-SCALE, HEAT-RATED SUPPRESSOR PROTOTYPES. THESE COSTS CAN BE REDUCED USING A CORRECTLY SCALED AMBIENT TEMPERATURE TEST FACILITY. RELIABLE ESTIMATES OF GAS TURBINE ENGINE EXHAUST SYST ...

40870 November 13, 1996 Science Research Laboratory, Inc. Several verification technologies for nuclear nonproliferation treaties use techniques that are based upon Prompt Neutron Activation (PNA) and neutron inelastic scattering. However, the use of neutrons is severely limited by the lack of an adequate electronic source. This project will develop a c ...

41161 Supercon, Inc. This project will investigate the possibility of developing a superconducting composite wire in a cost-effective way. It is expected that use of composite filaments instead of alloy filaments will greatly improve the fabricability of the superconducting wire and cut the production cost. In addition, substitution of regular bronze with high tin bronze can enhance the overall e ...

N/A

DEVELOPMENT OF AN IMPROVED MODEL FOR ACOUSTIC SCATTERING FROM A TURBULENT MEDIUM IS PROPOSED, WHICH WILL USE THE SELF-CONSISTENT FIELD APPROACH TO MULTIPLE SCATTERING. RESULTS WIL BE USED TO PREDICT ACOUSTIC SCATTERING SIGNATURES AS A FUNCTION OF THE ACOUSTIC AND TURBULENCE PROPERTIES OF THE SCATTERING SYSTEM. PROJECT OBJECTIVES INCLUDE A DETERMINATION OF THE COHERENT FIELD (MEAN FIELD) AS WELL AS ...
