A NOVEL CLASS OF TIME AND POSITION SENSITIVE (XYT) PARTICLE DETECTOR AND SUPPORTING ELECTRONICS IS PROPOSED WHICH CAN AFFORD A PRACTICAL MEANS OF COMBINING IMAGING AND TIME-OF-FLIGHT (TOF) ANALYSES IN A VARIETY OF ADVANCED INSTRUMENTS. DETECTOR SYSTEMS FOR PHOTONS, ELECTRONS AND IONS ARE TYPICALLY THE FIRST COMPONENTS IN MATERIALS CHARACTERIZATION INSTRUMENTS; FUNDAMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS HERE CAN HAV ...

THE TRAVEL TIMES OF COHERENT EVENTS IN SEISMIC SURVEYS OF THE CRUST PRINCIPALLY GIVE INFORMATION ABOUT THE LOW SPATIALFREQUENCY VELOCITY FIELD; DETAILS OF THE SEISMIC SIGNATURES OF BACKSCATTERED EVENTS PRINCIPALLY GIVE INFORMATION ABOUT THE HIGH SPATIAL FREQUENCY OF THE VELOCITY AND DENSITY FIELDS (WHICH CAN BE REPRESENTED BY PSEUDO WELL LOGS). TRAVEL TIME INVERSION IS BEGINNING TO FIND PRACTICAL ...

REAL-TIME DETECTION OF ATMOSPHERIC COMPOUNDS RELATED TO ACIDRAIN CAN PROBABLY BE PERFORMED BY MEANS OF LIGHT DETECTION AND RANGING (LIDAR) USING CALIBRATED ULTRAVIOLET (UV) LASER-INDUCED FLUORESCENCE (LIF) SIGNATURES. SUCH A SYSTEM WOULD BE USEFUL FOR STAND-OFF DETECTION AND RANGE PROFILING OF DISPERSED SPECIES SUCH AS NOX, SOX, AND OZONE. REALIZATION OF FAST, PORTABLE UV LIDAR EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN ...

180 Ultra-Lightweight Carbon-Carbon Cooling Structure For Pixel and Silicon Strip Detectors-HYTEC, Inc., 110 Eastgate Dr., Suite 100, Los Alamos, NM 87544-3304; (505) 662-0080 Mr. William O. Miller, Principal Investigator Mr. William O. Miller, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG03-97ER82397 Amount: $75,000 Removal of heat from the next generation of particle detection systems used in high ...

A MAJOR PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF ULTRA-HIGH-RESOLUTION GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY FOR EFFLUENT MONITORING IS THE RELATIVELY LOW SPEED OF ANALYSIS. WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP AN ULTRA-HIGH-SPEED CAPILLARY GAS CHROMATOGRAPH WHICH WOULD BE SUITABLE FOR THE ANALYSIS OF EFFLUENT SAMPLES IN JUST A FEW SECONDS. THE HEART OF THE NEW INSTRUMENT WOULD BE A MICROBORE COLUMN WITH AN INTERNAL DIAMETER OF 50 MUM O ...

40640 November 12, 1996 Adherent Technologies, Inc. Scintillators have been used for over 90 years to detect ionizing radiation, but solid organic scintillator, commonly used in physics experimentation, suffer from errors caused by pulse pileup. To minimize this problem, this project will examine a new class of polymeric materials which also offer the po ...

N/A

INSPECTION OF PAINTED OR COATED CARBON STEEL SURFACES OFTEN INVOLVES THE REMOVAL OF THE COATING PRIOR TO INSPECTION, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE USE OF MAGNETIC PARTICLE TESTING (MT) IS REQUIRED. IN THE CASE OF EXAMINATION OF CONTAINMENT VESSEL WALLS IN NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS, THE REMOVAL IS TIME CONSUMING, RESULTING IN INCREASED RADIATION EXPOSURE TO WORKERS. IN ADDITION, THE REMOVAL MUST BE DONE WITHOUT C ...

N/A

THE FASTBUS SYSTEM SPECIFICATION FOR HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS ANDOTHER DATA-SYSTEM APPLICATIONS ANTICIPATES THE USE OF MULTIPLE, HIGH PERFORMANCE PROCESSOR MODULES FOR DATA CONTROL AND EVENT REDUCTION ASSOCIATED WITH EXPERIMENTS IN THE PHYSICAL SCIENCES. EXISTING PROCESSOR DESIGNS WILL BE UNABLE TO COPE WITH THE PROJECTED DATA-REDUCTION AND EVENT-HANDLING REQUIREMENTS OF THE COMPLEX EXPERIMENTS PLANNED ...
