The total neutron cross sections of polycrystalline compounds, such as closed packed hexagonal ZnO, body centered cubic TiBr, and face centered cubic CaO and TiC were determined with the Argonne neutron velocity selector and neutron crystal spectrometer in the energy region of 0.001 to 1.0 electron volt. From the size of the cross section peaks which are due to coherent scattering of neutrons the following scattering amplitudes were determined: Ca, +0.46 x 10-l2 cm; Ti, -0.25 x 10-12 cm; T1, +0.75 x 10-12 cm. The previously reported value of +0.58 x 10-12 cm for Zn was confirmed. The free atom scattering cross section of Ca is 2.5 barns.
The physical research program consists of fundamental theoretical and experimental investigations designed to support the objectives of ERDA. The program is directed toward discovery of natural laws and new knowledge, and to improved understanding of the physical sciences as related to the development, use, and control of energy. The ultimate goal is to develop a scientific underlay for the overall ERDA effort and the fundamental principles of natural phenomena so that these phenomena may be understood and new principles, formulated. The physical research program is organized into four functional subprograms, high-energy physics, nuclear sciences, materials sciences, and molecular sciences. Approximately four-fifths of the total physical research program costs are associated with research conducted in ERDA-owned, contractor-operated federally funded research and development centers. A little less than one-fifth of the costs are associated with the support of research conducted in other laboratories.
Fifty Years of Magnetoencephalography celebrates the discovery and evolution of the newest method for imaging the activity of the human brain--magnetoencephalography, or MEG. This volume reveals the degree to which particular brain areas, revealed through MEG, contribute to different behavioral and psychological functions like sensation, motor behavior, and language. It also details current clinical applications of this technology in epilepsy surgery and indicates what the future applications are most likely to be.
