[en] A novel physics analysis technique is developed to extend the search for the top quark in proton-antiproton collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron. The method identifies the top quark via its decay into a weak boson (W → l ν) and a bottom quark. The bottom quark is partially reconstructed by using the decay mode: B → D^* X, D^* → D π. In contrast to all previous top searches, this approach clearly reconstructs the top quark mass peak, and provides excellent suppresssion of conventional back grounds. Recent studies of the decay mode B → D^* l v will be discussed in detail

[en] There has been significant tube degradation in operating PWR steam generators (SG), the extent of the degradation being dependent upon SG design, plant operating chemistry and tube material condition. Extensive research has identified the material properties that affect degradation in both past (Inconel 600) and future (Inconel 690) tube materials. This paper reviews the factors believed to control the corrosion performance of Inconel 690, the resultant properties specified for the first British PWR at Sizewell 'B' and the actual properties achieved. Pertinent material properties are chemical composition (i.e. carbon), processing history (mill anneal temperature), microstructure, mechanical properties and residual stress level

[en] The Grand Unified Theory (GUT) prediction of superheavy magnetic monopoles has stimulated an intense activity to search for them. The recent observation of a candidate event by Cabrera suggests a very large flux. Energy-loss processes are discussed, including several that are unique to monopoles. A large scintillation-counter telescope is being constructed to search for slow monopoles

[en] The CDF forward spectrometer is described. It is designed to extend analysis of secondaries in anti pp collisions down to an angle of 2⁰. New particle production is expected to concentrate in the forward direction for radical √ s = 2 TeV collisions. Several novel aspects of the CDF forward spectrometer are described

[en] The possibility of using stochastic cooling to augment or replace electron cooling in an ultimate anti proton source at Fermilab has been considered. Unfortunately there is a mismatch between the natural anti proton production cycle time and the cooling time using stochastic cooling. The extent of the mismatch is calculated and a possible way of resolving it is suggested

[en] Dorfan et al. demonstrated experimentally that one can extend the mass range of an accelerator by using the Fermi motion of nucleons inside heavy nuclear targets. The development of antiproton sources and intense pion beams at Fermilab and CERN makes possible a dramatic enhancement of this mechanism. We show that the increase in threshold production using antiprotons or pions rather than protons far exceeds the loss in luminosity. Furthermore, by using antiprotons in an internal-target experiment, the modest instantaneous rates and large signal/background ratio permit detailed study of the final state

[en] This paper discusses how, as part of an overall site program, the Savannah River Laboratory (SRL) is pursuing methods to reduce volumes of hazardous waste. A part of this program is directed at identifying non-hazardous materials which can be substituted for hazardous ones. Examples of successful hazardous waste reduction are discussed including the source, the regulatory standards, and the site impact of eliminating or reducing the waste. The current inventory of hazardous waste at the Savannah River Plant (SRP) is approximately 2,000 55-gallon drums. The annual generation rate is about 500 drums and the cost for storing is ∼ $1000.00 per drum

[en] A technique is described for producing an intense beam of antiprotons to be used for very high energy anti p-p colliding beams. The Fermilab Booster is to be used as a collector for antiprotons produced on an external target. The antiprotons are decelerated and transferred to a 200 MeV storage ring (Freezer Ring) and then collapsed in phase space by electron cooling. Repetitive accumulation over 10⁴ to 10⁵ Booster pulses, acceleration to 8 GeV and injection into the main ring lead to the possibility of anti p-p collisions at several hundred GeV with luminosity in excess of 10²⁹ cm^-2sec^-1
