ORIC R-F MODEL III PROGRESS REPORT
A model was made of the resonator of the Oak Ridge Relativistic Isochronous Cyclotron to check the calculations for the frequency range and excitation power of the resonator. A description is given of the r-f system with a tabulation of its general specifications. Calculations of the properties of the model are given, followed by data from measurements of the model characteristics. The power loss in the model was found to be approximately 50% greater than the calculated loss of 230 kw. Corrections were suggested which would make it possible to approach the predicted power loss.

Design, Construction, and Field Mapping of the Histrap Prototype Dipole
HISTRAP is a proposed 2.67 T-m synchrotron-cooler-storage ring having eight 45/degree/, C-design dipole magnets. A prototype dipole has been designed, fabricated, and mapped. The magnet design utilizes curved and angled coil ends to compensate for end effects in the field. Construction of the prototype dipole has been completed by the FNAL magnet factory. The magnetic field has been mapped using a Hall-effect probe afixed to a newly constructed, PC-based, horizontal positioning system. Results of the field mapping are presented. 6 refs., 7 figs., 1 tabs
Phonon mediated drag in double layer two dimensional electron systems
Experiments studying phonon mediated drag in the double layer two dimensional
electron gas system are reported. Detailed measurements of the dependence of
drag on temperature, layer spacing, density ratio, and matched density are
discussed. Comparisons are made to theoretical results [M. C. Bonsager et al.,
Phys. Rev. B 57, 7085 (1998)] which propose the existence of a new coupled
electron-phonon collective mode. The layer spacing and density dependence at
matched densities for samples with layer spacings below 2600 A do not support
the existence of this mode, showing behavior expected for independent electron
and phonon systems. The magnitude of the drag, however, suggests the alternate
limit; one in which electrons and phonons are strongly coupled. The results for
still larger layer spacing show significant discrepancies with the behavior
expected for either limit.Comment: 9 pages, 9 figures, Late

Coupled operation experience at the Holifield Heavy-Ion research Facility
The 25URC Pelletron tandem electrostatic accelerator and the Oak Ridge Isochronous Cyclotron (ORIC) comprise the accelerators of the Holifield Heavy-Ion Research Facility (HHIRF). The two machines may be operated individually or coupled, with ORIC serving as an energy booster for the tandem. In the coupled dode, the ion beam enters the cyclotron through the dee stem and is directed by the inflection magnet so that it is tangent to an orbit suitable for acceleration at a higher charge state. A thin carbon foil, placed at the point of tangency, strips the ions so that a substantial fraction are in the desired higher charge state. This fraction of the beam is then accelerated and extracted in the normal fashion. Full energy performance (25 MeV/A oxygen) was demonstrated during first coupled operation in January 1981. Routine coupled operation for experiments commenced in July 1982
Hierarchically coupled ultradian oscillators generating robust circadian rhythms
Ensembles of mutually coupled ultradian cellular oscillators have been proposed by a number of authors to explain the generation of circadian rhythms in mammals. Most mathematical models using many coupled oscillators predict that the output period should vary as the square root of the number of participating units, thus being inconsistent with the well-established experimental result that ablation of substantial parts of the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN), the main circadian pacemaker in mammals, does not eliminate the overt circadian functions, which show no changes in the phases or periods of the rhythms. From these observations, we have developed a theoretical model that exhibits the robustness of the circadian clock to changes in the number of cells in the SCN, and that is readily adaptable to include the successful features of other known models of circadian regulation, such as the phase response curves and light resetting of the phase
Symbiotic modeling: Linguistic Anthropology and the promise of chiasmus
Reflexive observations and observations of reflexivity: such agendas are by now standard practice in anthropology. Dynamic feedback loops between self and other, cause and effect, represented and representamen may no longer seem surprising; but, in spite of our enhanced awareness, little deliberate attention is devoted to modeling or grounding such phenomena. Attending to both linguistic and extra-linguistic modalities of chiasmus (the X figure), a group of anthropologists has recently embraced this challenge. Applied to contemporary problems in linguistic anthropology, chiasmus functions to highlight and enhance relationships of interdependence or symbiosis between contraries, including anthropologyâs four fields, the nature of human being and facets of being human

Ultrafast relaxation of photoexcited carriers in semiconductor quantum wires: A Monte Carlo approach
A detailed analysis of the cooling and thermalization process for photogenerated carriers in semiconductor quantum wires is presented. The energy relaxation of the nonequilibrium carrier distribution is investigated for the âârealistic'' case of a rectangular multisubband quantum-wire structure. By means of a direct ensemble Monte Carlo simulation of both the carrier and the phonon dynamics, all the nonlinear phenomena relevant for the relaxation process, such as carrier-carrier interaction, hot-phonon effects, and degeneracy, are investigated. The results of these simulated experiments show a significant reduction of the carrier-relaxation process compared to the bulk case, which is mainly due to the reduced efficiency of carrier-carrier scattering; on the contrary, the role of hot-phonon effects and degeneracy seems to be not so different from that played in bulk semiconductors

Radioactive Beams With the HHIRF Accelerators
There is an increasing interest in radioactive ion beams for astrophysics and nuclear physics research and applied programs. This interest has led to an International Conference on Radioactive Nuclear Beams and a Workshop on the Science of Intense Radioactive Ion Beams. In addition, a steering committee has been formed to consider the development of a very large and intense RIB facility in North America to produce both proton- and neutron-rich beams. This report discusses development of these beams
