Annual Report Of The University, 1958-1959, University Of New Mexico

UNM Annual Reports

TO THE GOVERNOR OF NEW MEXICO: AS PRESIDEN T OF THE UNIVERSITY, I have the honor to submit to you, trough the Regents, the report of the University of New Mexico for the academic year, 1958-59. Although basically this report covers the period from July I, 1958, to June 30, 1959, it also includes a number of significant developments of the last few months-current enrollment statistics, interesting new programs, and other events of importance-in order that it may present a more complete and timely picture of the University's activities. During a year of continued self-examination, of heightened efforts to secure …

A Numerical Solution For Weak Disturbances In A Large Scale Hydromagnetic Field, Patrick J. Blewett

Physics & Astronomy ETDs

Our concern here will be to investigate the form of certain solutions of equation (7); we will be content with a two-dimensional analysis.

Conversion Of Electromagnetic Waves Into Magnetohydrodynamic Waves At The Interface Of A Dielectric And Incomprehensible Fluid, Ralph L. Marsten

Physics & Astronomy ETDs

Consider space to be separated into two semi-infinite regions by a rigid boundary. On one side lies medium A--a perfect, rigid, dielectric, with electric permittivity € and magnetic permeability µ. On the other side is medium B; a perfect, fluid, perfectly conducting, also with magnet permeability µ. Throughout all spaces exist a uniform static magnetic field H.

Now such a fluid as medium B is capable of supporting a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) wave; and of course a perfect dielectric will support an electromagnetic (EM) wave. Suppose then, that a uniform plane EM wave in medium A is incident at arbitrary angle …

A Study Of The Radioactive Decay Of The Two Isomers Of Pd109 And Of The Associated Low-Lying Levels Of Ag109, John W. Starner

Physics & Astronomy ETDs

The radiations of Pd¹⁰⁹ (13.45 ± 0.01 hr) and Pd^109m(4.69 ± 0.01 min) have been investigated with a coincidence scintillation spectrometer and a solenoidal beta-ray spectrometer. Pd^109m was observed to have only one mode of decay: a 188-kev (E3) isomeric transition to Pd¹⁰⁹. The principal beta-ray group (>99.9%) of Pd¹⁰⁹ was found to have an end-point energy of 1.025 ± 0.005 Mev. Gamma rays of the following energies (kev) and approximate intensities (photons/10⁵ disintegrations) were observed to acccmpany the decay of Pd¹⁰⁹: 773 (4), 707 (2), 643 (10), 602 …

Method For Interpreting Extensive Air Shower Data, Darrell C. Kent

Physics & Astronomy ETDs

Three major topics are discussed in this thesis. The first of these has immediate application to analysis of air shower data which is presently being gathered by two large scintillation tanks located immediately behind the University of New Mexico physics building. The data with which the other two topics are concerned cannot be gathered with present equipment, but these preliminary calculations have been performed in anticipation of the installation of the appropriate apparatus.

Mineral Deposits Of The Granite Gap Area, Hidalgo County, New Mexico, David N. Cargo

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The Granite Gap area lies in the central part of the Peloncillo Mountains about 28 miles southwest of Lordsburg, New Mexico. Ores of lead, zinc, silver, and tungsten from four separate deposits have been mined there during the past seventy years.

An Experimental Method Of Determining The Shape Of Millimicrosecond Radiation Pulses, Robert Braslau

Physics & Astronomy ETDs

The problem with which this investigation is concerned was to construct suitable apparatus to measure accurately the shape and the duration of a pulse of δ-radiation of approximately 10 Mev energy and 20 mμ sec duration. In particular, the shape of the tail of the pulse had to be determined as accurately as possible, so that millimicrosecond half lives can be measured accurately with the betatron.

Recording Of Geomagnetic Field Variations In An Orthogonal System, Chistian Schroeder

Physics & Astronomy ETDs

Magnetic field variations in both magnitude and direction are known to occur due to such phenomena as atmospheric tides and solar activity. Magnetic storms caused by solar activity may bring about variations in excess of one percent of the magnitude of the earth's normal magnetic field; but in general the changes are slight and require sensitive instruments for their measurement.

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.

Liquid Scintillators. Some Aryl Substituted Phenanthrenes And Dihydrophenanthrenes, And Related P-Terphenyls And P-Quaterphenyls, Stephen Paul Birkeland

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

With the advent of good commercially available photomultiplier tubes, scintillation counters have become increasingly popular for laboratory use. Although there are a number of materials such as ionic crystals, covalent crystals, plastics, and liquid organic solutions, which are used in scintillation counters, liquid organic solutions offer distinct advantages. Because the organic solutes used in liquid scintillation systems have decay times of the order of 10^-8 second, systems with resolving times of the order of 5x10^-10 second may be obtained. This represents an improvement by a factor of 10⁴ over gas counters and 10² over scintillation systems …

Petrology Of The Tijeras Greenstone, Bernallio County, New Mexico, John J. Bruns

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The Precambrian metamorphosis rocks of the Tijeras Canyon area crop out along a five-mile, northeast-trending belt, which lies approximately five miles east of the Sandia Mountains front, in north-central New Mexico. The sequence, to the east, is overlain uncomfortably by Pennsylvanian Madera limestone, while the trace of the Tijeras fault marks the western side.

The Geology Of South Fork Thrust And Subsurface Geology Of The Belknap Ranch, Park County, Wyoming, James L. Deurmyer

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The segment of the South Fork thrust in the Belknap ranch area contains rocks representative of the Upper Jurassic, Lower Cretaceous and Upper Cretaceous. The thrust plate occupies 75 percent of the mapped area. Approximately 3,500 feet of predominantly marine rocks comprise the detachment thrust and about 15 percent of the exposed rocks of the thrust plate is sandstone and conglomerate. All the rock units present in the thrust plate crop out beyond the edge of the over-riding mass except the Sundance and Morrison formations. Approximately 4,600 feet of geologic section is exposed of drilled in the mapped area. The …

Lithogenesis Of The Pennsylvanian Madera Formation Of Palomas Peak, Sandia Mountains, New Mexico., Ronald D. Perkins

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The Pennsylvanian Madera formation of Palomas Peak in the Sandia Mountains of central New Mexico is a sequence of marine limestone and minor sandstone that ranges in age from Desmoinesian to Virgilian. The limestone is predominantly clastic or bioclastic and the sandstone is arkosic. Lithologic and paleontologic evidence suggests an epineritic to infraneritic environment on a gently subsiding shelf during deposition of the Madera Sediments.

Rhythmic deposition at Palomas Peak is evidenced by alternating clastic and bioclastic limestones which may have resulted from: (1) eustatic changes in sea level, (2) tectonic fluctuations in the downwarping of the shelf, or (3) …

The Absolute Excitation Functions For The I 127 (N,Y) I 128 And Na 23 (N,Y) And Na 24 Reactions, Richard L. Cubitt

Physics & Astronomy ETDs

Radiative capture (n,y) cross sections, in addition to their theoretical interest, are of great practical importance to the technology of reactor design. A knowledge of the absolute excitation functions of the various materials employed in reactors permits calculation of the effect of these materials on the reactivity of a reactor, and also enables shielding calculations to be made.
