BEVATRON OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT. PART XIX FOR AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER 1958

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4232327
A new secondary-particle beam facility was completed which will allow negative particle beams in the momentum range 0.77 Bev/c to 6 Bev/c to be brought out of the Quadrant lH curved section. The initial phase involved in the installation of a plunged beam clipper within the magnet aperture in Quadrant I was completed. Continued improvement in ignitron performance was recorded. The investigations of K/sup +/-meson interactions, SIGMA hyperon decay, and strange- particle production by pi /sup -/mesons continued. An experiment was done to measure --n--nucleus and n----p/sup +/ cross sections. Thirteen target bombardments were made for the Laboratory chemistry group, twenty-four bombardments for external groups. ( For preceding period see UCRL-8563.) (auth)
