[en] Results are given of measurements made on a sodium vapor charge exchange cell in the recirculation mode for almost 100 h of cumulative full temperature operation. The design utilizes a down jet of sodium from a planar de Laval nozzle impinging upon a liquid sodium pool contained in a condensing reservoir. The apparatus includes provision for return of the sodium to the vaporizing region for replenishing the supply to the jet. The minimum design requirements for vapor thickness of 1 to 2 x 10¹⁵ atoms/cm² were met

[en] Potential advantages of the free electron laser (FEL) as a fusion driver are noted and proposed high power FEL systems are described. Advantages for fusion of a pulsed multipass FEL system, in which the optical pulses are built up inside a long (approx. 400 m) resonator cavity and a storage ring provides the electron beam, are described. In one possible configuration, the laser beam is multipassed through the reactor chamber; a high velocity pellet intercepts the optical beam after the desired power level has been achieved. In another proposed configuration, adaptive optic mirrors would be used to eject the optical pulse from the resonant cavity. Computer simulations indicate electron energy spread could be minimized using a long (approx. 100 m) tapered wiggler designed to trap essentially all of the electrons in growing ponderomotive potential wells. Superconducting rf cavities are proposed to store energy between pulses as a means of reducing the size and cost of the power supplies for the accelerator cavities

[en] Nuclear structure data available through December 1975 are compiled, and adopted level properties are given. The bulk of the data is presented pictorially for easy comparison. Experimental details, references, and additional comments, where required, are given in the text. All drawings, tables, and comments are reproduced from the computerized Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File (ENSDF). Any additions or corrections desired by the users should be addressed to the compilers for maintenance and updating of the computer file

[en] An operational sequential charge-exchange ion source yielding a 50 MeV H^- current of approximately 8 mA is planned for use with the Argonne 500 MeV booster synchrotron. Progress is reported on the development of a sodium vapor charge-exchange cell as part of that planned effort. Design, fabrication, and operating results to date are presented and discussed
