NRL QUARTERLY ON NUCLEAR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY. Progress Report for the Period October-December 1958
An alternative theory of the neutrino is offered. An apparatus using a variable speed motor drive is described for measuring particle track and gap lengths in nuclear emulsions. A semiautomatic device for measuring particle track profiles is also described. Experimental measurements of gamma scattering by the 4.46- and 5.03-Mev states of B/sup 11/ are reported. The form of the scattering state vectors in fixed-source meson theory is considered. assuming knowledge of the ground state. An expansion for these scattering states is presented and related to the variational method and the Chew-Low method. Progress in the study of avalanche activity in self-quenching counter tubes is reported. Reports on dispersion relations for some simplified electron beams, and stability analysis of the electron beam in a Budker-type accelerator are given. Study of the effects of radiation on poly- alpha -methylstyrene continued. A table is presented which facilitates calculation of absorbed dose of electromagnetic radiation from exposure dose. The mechanism of stresscorrosion cracking in mild steel under steam power operation conditions was further investigated. (For preceding period see NP-7070.) (T.R.H.)
