Title: THE DETERMINATION OF THE ISOTOPIC ABUNDANCE OF URANIUM BY MEANS OF HIGH- RESOLUTION SPECTROSCOPY. II. THE USE OF A PHOTO-ELECTRIC 'FIXED SLIT' RECORDING SYSTEM ON AN ECHELLE GRATING SPECTROGRAPH

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4238577

A fixed slit'' photo-electric recording head has been designed and constructed for the direct recording of uranium isotopic ratios on the echelle grating spectrograph described in the first part of this report. This head has perforred very satisfactorily. Accuracies of plus or minus 0.2% have been obtained in the determination of U/sup 235/ over the range 4 to 80%, and little maintenance has been required during six months of routine use. Means of further improving the performance of the instrument are indicated. (auth)
