Design and Construction of the 3.2 Mev High Voltage Column for Darht II
A 3.2 MeV injector has been designed and built for the Darht II Project at
Los Alamos Lab. The installation of the complete injector system is nearing
completion at this time. The requirements for the injector are to produce a 3.2
MeV, 2000 ampere electron pulse with a flattop width of at least 2-microseconds
and emittance of less than 0.15 p cm-rad normalized. A large high voltage
column has been built and installed. The column is vertically oriented, is 4.4
meters long, 1.2 meters in diameter, and weights 5700 kilograms. A novel method
of construction has been employed which utilizes bonded mycalex insulating
rings. This paper will describe the design, construction, and testing completed
during construction. Mechanical aspects of the design will be emphasized.Comment: 3 pages, 4 figures, Linac 200
Evidence-Based Professional Development of Science Teachers in Two Countries
The focus of this collaborative research project of King?s College London, and the Weizmann Institute, Israel. project is on investigating the ways in which teachers can demonstrate accomplished teaching in a specific domain of science and on the teacher learning that is generated through continuing professional development programs (CPD) that lead towards such practice. The interest lies in what processes and inputs are required to help secondary school science teachers develop expertise in a specific aspect of science teaching. `It focuses on the design of the CPD programmes and examines the importance of an evidence-based approach through portfolioconstruction in which professional dialogue pathes the way for teacher learning. The set of papers highlight the need to set professional challenge while tailoring CPD to teachers? needs to create the environment in which teachers can advance and transform their practice. The cross-culture perspective added to the richness of the development and enabled the researchers to examine which aspects were fundamental to the design by considering similarities and differences between the domains
Anti-Hyperon Enhancement through Baryon Junction Loops
The baryon junction exchange mechanism recently proposed to explain valence
baryon number transport in nuclear collisions is extended to study midrapidity
anti-hyperon production. Baryon junction-anti-junction (J anti-J) loops are
shown to enhance anti-Lambda, anti-Xi, anti-Omega yields as well as lead to
long range rapidity correlations. Results are compared to recent WA97 Pb + Pb
-> Y + anti-Y + X data.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure
