Negative-ion based NBI system for JT-60U  

Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB)

A 500 keV negative-ion based NBI system is under construction for NB current drive and plasma core heating in high density plasma in JT-60U. Part of the beamline and the high voltage power supply required for a verification test of an ion source was completed in March 1995. After having done a high potential test of the power supply, the negative-ion generation and acceleration tests started in June 1995 aiming at deuterium beams of 500 keV, 22A. In initial experiment, deuterium negative-ion beams of 410 keV, 6.1A (2.5 MW) for 0.2 sec, so far, have been achieved. This is the world highest D{sup {minus}} current and negative ion beam power. The construction of the total system will be completed by the beginning of 1996, and the beam injection will start in March 1996.

Isoscalar giant dipole resonance in {sup 90}Zr, {sup 116}Sn, {sup 144}Sm and {sup 208}Pb excited by 240 MeV {alpha} particle scattering  

Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB)

The giant resonance regions of {sup 90}Zr, {sup 116}Sn, {sup 144}Sm and {sup 208}Pb were investigated using 240 MeV {alpha} particle scattering at small angles including 0 deg. E1 strengths corresponding to 91{+-}11%, 89{+-}10%, 105{+-}12% and 95{+-}13% of the isoscalar E1 energy-weighted sum rule were identified between 18{<=}E{sub x}{<=}31 MeV, 16{<=}E{sub x}{<=}30 MeV, 15{<=}E{sub x}{<=}27 MeV and 15{<=}E{sub x}{<=}25 MeV with centroid energies of 24.8{+-}0.4 MeV, 22.5{+-}0.3 MeV, 21.6{+-}0.3 MeV and 19.3{+-}0.3 MeV and rms widths of 3.2{+-}0.2 MeV, 3.5{+-}0.2 MeV, 3.2{+-}0.2 MeV and 2.5{+-}0.2 MeV for {sup 90}Zr, {sup 116}Sn, {sup 144}Sm and {sup 208}Pb, respectively. Parameters obtained for the isoscalar giant monopole resonance, isoscalar giant quadrupole resonance and high energy octupole resonance are in agreement with accepted values.

International Nuclear Information System (INIS)

The giant resonance regions of "9"0Zr, "1"1"6Sn, "1"4"4Sm and "2"0"8Pb were investigated using 240 MeV #alpha# particle scattering at small angles including 0 deg. E1 strengths corresponding to 91#+-#11%, 89#+-#10%, 105#+-#12% and 95#+-#13% of the isoscalar E1 energy-weighted sum rule were identified between 18#<=#E_x#<=#31 MeV, 16#<=#E_x#<=#30 MeV, 15#<=#E_x#<=#27 MeV and 15#<=#E_x#<=#25 MeV with centroid energies of 24.8#+-#0.4 MeV, 22.5#+-#0.3 MeV, 21.6#+-#0.3 MeV and 19.3#+-#0.3 MeV and rms widths of 3.2#+-#0.2 MeV, 3.5#+-#0.2 MeV, 3.2#+-#0.2 MeV and 2.5#+-#0.2 MeV for "9"0Zr, "1"1"6Sn, "1"4"4Sm and "2"0"8Pb, respectively. Parameters obtained for the isoscalar giant monopole resonance, isoscalar giant quadrupole resonance and high energy octupole resonance are in agreement with accepted values.

Rare earth metal rich magnesium compounds RE4NiMg (RE=Y, Pr-Nd, Sm, Gd-Tm, Lu)-Synthesis, structure, and hydrogenation behavior  

International Nuclear Information System (INIS)

The rare earth metal rich compounds RE4NiMg (RE=Y, Pr-Nd, Sm, Gd-Tm, Lu) were synthesized from the elements in sealed tantalum tubes in an induction furnace. All compounds were investigated by X-ray diffraction on powders and single crystals: Gd4RhIn type, space group F4-bar 3m, Z=16, a=1367.6(2) pm for Y4NiMg, a=1403.7(3) pm for Pr4NiMg, a=1400.7(1) pm for Nd4NiMg, a=1386.5(2) pm for Sm4NiMg, a=1376.1(2) pm for Gd4NiMg, a=1362.1(1) pm for Tb4NiMg, a=1355.1(2) pm for Dy4NiMg, a=1355.2(1) pm for Ho4NiMg, a=1354.3(2) pm for Er4NiMg, a=1342.9(3) pm for Tm4NiMg, and a=1336.7(3) pm for Lu4NiMg. The nickel atoms have trigonal prismatic rare earth coordination. These NiRE6 prisms are condensed via common edges to a three-dimensional network which leaves voids for Mg4 tetrahedra and the RE1 atoms which show only weak coordination to the nickel atoms. The single crystal data indicate two kinds of solid solutions. The RE1 positions reveal small RE1/Mg mixing and some compounds also show Ni/Mg ...
