This well-illustrated resource provides vital cross-section information for the atomic and molecular collision processes taking place in the boundary region of magnetically confined fusion plasmas and in other laboratory and astrophysical low-temperature plasmas. The expertly assessed information in this noteworthy volume includes the most recent experimental and theoretical results presented in a convenient format. Coverage includes the processes of electron-impact excitation and ionization of plasma edge atoms, electron-ion recombination, dissociative collision processes involving electrons and much more.
The aerodynamic capabilities and physical characteristics of the Naval Ordnance Laboratory's Mach number 18 Hypervelocity Research Tunnel are described. This tunnel is a high-pressure, blowdown-type facility that uses nitrogen as the working gas. The facility provides a maximum test section Reynolds number of 0.2 million per meter (0.7 million per foot) at the maximum stagnation pressure of 700 atmospheres and a supply temperature of 2100 Kelvin. A forced-convection electric heater with a graphite heater element is used to achieve the required flow temperatures. The axisymmetric, contoured nozzle is 3.96 meters long with an exit diameter of 0.61 meters. Flow times are from one to four minutes.
Comprises a comprehensive reference source that unifies the entire fields of atomic molecular and optical (AMO) physics, assembling the principal ideas, techniques and results of the field. 92 chapters written by about 120 authors present the principal ideas, techniques and results of the field, together with a guide to the primary research literature (carefully edited to ensure a uniform coverage and style, with extensive cross-references). Along with a summary of key ideas, techniques, and results, many chapters offer diagrams of apparatus, graphs, and tables of data. From atomic spectroscopy to applications in comets, one finds contributions from over 100 authors, all leaders in their respective disciplines. Substantially updated and expanded since the original 1996 edition, it now contains several entirely new chapters covering current areas of great research interest that barely existed in 1996, such as Bose-Einstein condensation, quantum information, and cosmological variations of the fundamental constants. A fully-searchable CD- ROM version of the contents accompanies the handbook.
Four years after a first meeting in BADDECK, Canada, on the Physics of Ion-Ion and Electron-Ion collisions, a second Nato Advanced Study Institute, in HAl~/Lesse, Belgium, reexamined the subject which had become almost a new one, in consideration of the many important developments that had occured in the mean time. The developments have been particularly impressive in two areas : the di-electronic recombination of electrons with ions and the collisional processes of mUltiply charged ions. For dielectronic recombination, a major event was the obtainment, in 1983, of the first experimental data. This provided, at last, a non speculative basis for the study of that intricate and subtle process ...
The Izod-impact strengths and flexural properties of several types of plastic laminates, which are either in use or have potential application in aircraft structures and parts, were determined at different temperatures in the range of -70 degrees to 200 degrees F.
