The Diffusion Of Muonic Hydrogen Atoms In Hydrogen Gas, Guo Fu Chen Jan 1990

The Diffusion Of Muonic Hydrogen Atoms In Hydrogen Gas, Guo Fu Chen

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

This experiment measured the time distribution of muonic hydrogen atoms which were formed when negative muons were brought to rest in H{dollar}\sb2{dollar} gas, containing Au target foils, at five pressures (750 mbar, 375 mbar, 188 mbar, 94 mbar and 47 mbar at 4.6 mm foil spacing). A Monte Carlo method is applied for deducing the initial velocity distribution, and preliminary results are obtained. The initial velocity distribution of {dollar}\mu{dollar}H atoms is reasonably well described as a 'Maxwellian' velocity distribution with a mean energy E = 3.4 eV. The corresponding muon mean capture energy is obtained: E{dollar}\sb{lcub}\rm c{rcub}{dollar} {dollar}\approx{dollar} 34 eV …


Injection Efficiency Of Bound Modes, Claudio Oliveira Egalon Jan 1990

Injection Efficiency Of Bound Modes, Claudio Oliveira Egalon

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

Previous work on efficiency of light injection into the core of a fiber from a thin film and a bulk distribution of sources in the cladding, have made use of the fields of a weakly guiding fiber. This approximation simplifies the analysis of the power efficiency by introducing universal values for the eigenvalues of different fibers with same {dollar}V{dollar}-number, but can not predict accurately the behavior of the injected light into a fiber with arbitrary differences in indices of refraction. We have used the exact field solution in the expressions of the power efficiency, {dollar}P\sb{lcub}\rm eff{rcub}{dollar}, and analyzed its behavior …
