Nuclear Structure Studies In 90Y, Ronald E. Goans Dec 1969

Nuclear Structure Studies In 90Y, Ronald E. Goans

Masters Theses

Differential cross sections (12.5° to 47.5°) were measured for the 89Y (d,p) reaction with 33.3 Mev deuterons from the Oak Ridge Isochronous Cyclotron. Proton spectra up to 5 Mev excitation in the 90Y were observed in nuclear emulsions exposed in the focal plane of the broad range spectrograph. The resolution was approximately 25 Kev. The excitation energies agreed within experimental error with (d,p) experiments at 12 Mev and 15 Mev. Comparisons were made with DWBA calculations and ℓ-transfers were assigned to 25 levels. The ℓ-transfers and spectroscopic factors are in satisfactory agreement with previous papers for most strong …

A Study Of The Evaporation Rates Of Small Freely Falling Water Droplets, Hugh Alan Duguid Jan 1969

A Study Of The Evaporation Rates Of Small Freely Falling Water Droplets, Hugh Alan Duguid

Masters Theses

"The evaporation rates of small (radium 3-9µ), freely falling water droplets were determined. the droplets, produced in a diffusion cloud chamber, were allowed to fall through air of known relative humidity (95-100%) and at three ambient temperatures (25C, 30C, and 35C) in a vertical drift tube. the rates of evaporation were ascertained by recording the drop positions on film at fixed time intervals. The results are compared with several existing theories, and are found to lie between the formulation of Kinzer and Gunn, and the quasistationary theory based on Maxwell's equation"--Abstract, page ii.


An Experimental Comparison Of Various Nuclei Counters, Joel William Mansell Jan 1969

An Experimental Comparison Of Various Nuclei Counters, Joel William Mansell

Masters Theses

"A series of simultaneous nuclei concentration measurements, with four different nuclei counters, have been made. these counters were a Pollak and a Gardner counter supplied by Mr. Paul Allee of the Environmental Science Services Administration, Boulder, Colorado, and a Pollak and a G.E. counter supplied; by Mr. Norman White of the National Center for Air Pollution Control, Cincinnati, Ohio. In the absence of any knowledge of the absolute concentrations in the samples, the data for each of the individual counters have been compared to the averages computed from all four counters. The results of these comparisons indicate the following: (1) …


A Low Frequency Phase Shift Method, Ronnie Carroll Mcmillan Jan 1969

A Low Frequency Phase Shift Method, Ronnie Carroll Mcmillan

Masters Theses

"The phase shift method of measuring atomic lifetimes is particularly useful because it allows us to make measurements in the steady state mode instead of in the transient mode. High frequency phase shift techniques cause many problems. The equipment, which was designed and built to make low frequency phase shift techniques possible, is shown schematically and discussed. The new experimental techniques employed in our apparatus are a phase multiplier and a unique method of using a photomultiplier as a mixer. In the photomultiplier the final dynode is used as the grid of a triode. The next to the last dynode …


Infrared Cooling Near Atmospheric Temperature Inversions And Absorber Concentration Variations, Joey Keith Tuttle Jan 1969

Infrared Cooling Near Atmospheric Temperature Inversions And Absorber Concentration Variations, Joey Keith Tuttle

Masters Theses

"Cooling due to infrared radiation near temperature inversions is investigated. Temperature inversions tend to hold pollution below the inversion level. The pollution itself may contribute to the stability of the inversion by selectively cooling certain portions of the atmosphere. A method is developed for evaluating infrared cooling rates at discreet points in the atmosphere. Several sample calculations are given to demonstrate the effects of variations of absorber concentration and lapse rate"--Abstract, page i.
