Synchrotron topographic project. Final report, September 1, 1980-May 31, 1984

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5696259
The basic design phase of the Synchrotron Topographic Project has been completed. Construction of several major components of the Synchrotron Topography Station has already been completed and installed at the facility. The experimental hutch, control room, and portable darkroom chamber have been completed. Assembly of the computer hardware components, including a PDP 11/23, printer, mag-tape down loader/backup system and motor controller assembly has been completed. Work is continuing on hardware for interfacing, and on software development for interactively controlling, the 13 motors which will automate the experimental facility. The White Beam Camera, film-plate dispenser, Real-time TV alignment camera, and motorized lift table assembly are completed. Finally a number of other major pieces of apparatus are finished, but await completion of services. Research has focused on x-ray optics and application of topography to materials science problems.
