Neuron-Proton Scattering At 23.6 Mev, Jerome G. Beery
Neuron-Proton Scattering At 23.6 Mev, Jerome G. Beery
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
The angular distribution for neutron-proton scattering was measured at a neutron energy of m3.6 MeV. The measurement was made using the Los Alamos Variable Energy Cyclotron and a liquid hydrogen bubble chamber. The angular distribution was normalized to a total n-p cross section of 408 mb.
The Diffraction Of Polarized Light From A Laser By A Straight Edge, Robert Lawrence Berger
The Diffraction Of Polarized Light From A Laser By A Straight Edge, Robert Lawrence Berger
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effect of the polarized light from a highly coherent light source on the diffraction pattern of a metallic straight edge.
Fast Neutron Induced Fission Of U238, Michael J. Bennett
Fast Neutron Induced Fission Of U238, Michael J. Bennett
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
This work describes an experimental study of the energetics of the fission of U238 performed with solid state detectors. The fissions were produced by fission-spectrum neutrons from a reactor. The procedure used for calibrating the detector response is described and the effects of some experimental uncertainties, such as pulse height defect and neutron emission, are discussed.
Absorbance Of The Oh Radical In A Specific Wavelength Interval Near 309a, Paul F. Bird
Absorbance Of The Oh Radical In A Specific Wavelength Interval Near 309a, Paul F. Bird
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
The absorbance of the OH radical as a function of optical density was studied by computing the absorbance for an incident radiation in the wavelength interval 3089A-3097A. The absorbance was studied for 3 different temperatures and various values of the parameters specifying the line shapes and magnitude of the spectral absorption coefficient.
Characteristics And Calibration Of A Large Liquid Scintillator, James R. Barcus
Characteristics And Calibration Of A Large Liquid Scintillator, James R. Barcus
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
It is the purpose of this thesis to present in some detail the method and results of the calibration -- in particular, the determination of the single particle pulse height which is crucial to any meaningful interpretation of the observational data.
On The Relation Between The Cosmic Ray Air Shower Spectrum And The Pulse Height Spectrum Of A Large Scintillator, Robert T. Barton
On The Relation Between The Cosmic Ray Air Shower Spectrum And The Pulse Height Spectrum Of A Large Scintillator, Robert T. Barton
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
The purpose of this paper is to study other lateral distribution functions proposed by various authors, to select an alternative to the one used previously, to repeat the calculations of the required quantities using the alternative function, and to comment on the relative merits of the different choices. Since an empirical formula was used in the original work it seemed desirable to use a theoretical relation for comparison if a suitable one were available.
The Motion Of A Charged Particle In Homogenous Time-Varying Magnetic Field, Thomas R. Bates
The Motion Of A Charged Particle In Homogenous Time-Varying Magnetic Field, Thomas R. Bates
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
This paper will discuss the motion of a non-relativistic, non-radiating charged particle in an infinite homogeneous magnetic field which varies linearly with time. We shall assume the motion to be confined to a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field.
Diffuse Reflection Of Light, Francis L. Bentsen
Diffuse Reflection Of Light, Francis L. Bentsen
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
This thesis describes an attempt to determine the feasibility of measuring the ozone content in the air by absorption of light over a long path.
The Intensity Of Zodiacal Light, Allan F. Beck
The Intensity Of Zodiacal Light, Allan F. Beck
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
The study of the intensities measured in the region of the zodiacal light, the second most important contributor to this light of the night sky after starlight has been subtracted, is the purpose of this paper.
