184 Diamond Fast Opening Breaking Switches--Alameda Applied Sciences Corporation, 2235 Polvorosa Avenue, Suite 230, San Leandro, CA 94577-2249; (510) 483-4156 Dr. Rahul R. Prasad, Principal Investigator Dr. Mahadevan Krishnan, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG03-97ER82320 Amount: $74,989 Alameda Applied Sciences Corporation will develop a fast-opening breaking switch to improve the heati ...

40268 November 6, 1996 Alameda Applied Sciences Corporation Induction linear accelerators that produce energetic heavy ion beams are a prime candidate for power-producing fusion reactors. This project will develop and demonstrate a high vacuum arc ion source that can reliably deliver high current, low emittance beams of heavy (A=100-238) ions with charg ...

WE PLAN TO INVESTIGATE THE USE OF RESONANCE TRANSITION RADIATION TO IDENTIFY ULTRA-RELATIVISTIC CHARGED PARTICLES. WE WILL LOOK INTO METHODS FOR SINGLE AND MULTIPLE PARTICLE IDENTIFICATION. BY SELECTING FOIL THICKNESS AND SPACING, IT IS POSSIBLE TO DESIGN RADIATORS WHOSE ANGLE OF EMISSION INCREASES WITH THE ENERGY OF THE INCIDENT CHARGED PARTICLE. BY NOTING THE STRONG ANALOGOUS RELATIONSHIP BETWEE ...

40458 Adelphi Technology, Inc. This project will design two inexpensive, compact betatron-based electron sources: one at 5-MeV and one at 35-MeV. The primary design object of these two sources will be low emittance (¿n

THE NEW GENERATION OF SYNCHROTRON RADIATION (SR) SOURCES PROMISES TO EXTEND SIGNIFICANTLY THE REGIMES OF PHOTON ENERGY AND INTENSITY AVAILABLE TO MATERIALS SCIENTISTS AND OTHER RESEARCHERS. A KEY CHALLENGE TO DEVELOPING THESE NEW SR SOURCES IS THE CONSTRUCTION OF PREMONOCHROMATOR X-RAY BEAMLINE OPTICS THAT SURVIVE AND FUNCTION UNDER THE INTENSE HEAT LOADING PRODUCED BY THESE MACHINES. AN EFFICIENT ...

129 Integrated 2-D Silicon Detector for High-Count-Rate, Low-Noise X-Ray Applications--ARACOR, 425 Lakeside Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94086-4704; (408) 733-7780 Dr. Yuzhong June Wang, Principal Investigator Mr. Ed LeBaker, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG03-97ER82330 Amount: $75,000 Detectors used for nuclear physics research, synchrotron applications, and analytical x-ray instruments are cur ...

THE USE OF ADVANCED MATERIALS SUCH AS CERAMICS, CERAMIC COMPOSITES, AND HIGH TEMPERATURE COATINGS HAS LED TO IMPROVED PERFORMANCE OF CRITICAL HEAT ENGINE AND ENERGY-RELATED COMPONENTS AND SYSTEMS. HOWEVER, THE REQUIREMENTS FOR NONDESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION (NDE) OF CERAMIC MATERIALS RESULTING FROM COMPLEX GEOMETRY, INHOMOGENEITY, REDUCED FLAW SIZE, AND ADVERSE PROCESSING ENVIRONMENTS HAVE PRODUCED LON ...
