Ion acoustic parametric decay instability in a plasma with [beta] > 1
(Elsevier, 1976-10-04)
It is found that in a plasma with [beta] > 1 a finite amplitude ion acoustic wave is unstable and decays into two shear Alfven waves propagating in opposite directions. The threshold and growth rate of the instability ...
The long time behavior of a finite amplitude shear Alfven wave in a warm plasma
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 1976-10-01)
The long time behavior of a monochromatic, finite amplitude shear Alfven wave is studied by means of the Krylov-Bogoliubov-Mitropolsky perturbation technique. The plasma model is assumed to be described by the linearly ...
Comparison of high energy neutron-nucleus total cross sections with theory
(Elsevier, 1976-06-07)
A recent paper by Julius purports to show that previous estimates of the effect of inelastic screening on neutron-nucleus total cross sections are much too large. However, we show that most of this discrepancy is due to ...
Collisional effects on the drift-cyclotron instability
(Elsevier, 1976-06)
The drift-cyclotron instability in a weakly collisional plasma is considered including temperature perturbations. Collisions are described by a model Fokker-Planck equations. The growth rate of the instability is obtained ...
Solar energy economics--the a priori decision
(Elsevier, 1976-10)
The initial decision concerning the economic viability of a solar energy heating system is shown to involve technical, physical, meteorological, geographic, design and cost factors as well as the source of funding and type ...
On the bound states of the massless free field in two space-time dimensions
(Elsevier, 1976-12-06)
We point out the peculiar kinematics of zero-mass fields in two space-time dimensions by showing that the n-fold tensor product of one-particle representations of the Poincare group for n [ges] 2 contains a countable ...
High Temperature Electronic Structure of Fe3O4Fe3O4
(The American Institute of Physics, 1976-09-01)
The high temperature electronic structure and conduction mechanism in Fe3O4Fe3O4 have been investigated through correlations of resistivity and magnetoresistance data with 57Fe NGR. Similar to the resistivity, the relative ...
A description of drift chambers used in a Fermilab experiment
(Elsevier, 1976-11-01)
We give a detailed description of the drift chamber system used in a charm search at Fermilab. All important aspects of design and performance are discussed.
On the reconstruction of s-channel helicity amplitudes from a complete set of measurements
(Elsevier, 1976-07-15)
The problem of reconstruction of the pp elastic scattering amplitudes from a complete set of measurements has been studied, taking into account the new experiments, which have become feasible with the advent of a high ...
Gas-liquid mass transfer in a multi-stage perforated-disk type stirring cascade
(Elsevier, 1976)
Experimental study is conducted to determine interphase mass transfer of a solute (carbon dioxide) in gas-liquid systems (air and water) in counter-current flow through a three-stage perforated-disk type stirring cascade. ...
