    Voyager measurements of the isotopic composition of cosmic-ray aluminum and implications for the propagation of cosmic rays (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: We report a new measurement of the cosmic-ray isotopic composition of aluminum in the low-energy range form 75 to 206 MeV per nucleon.This measurement was made using the high-energy telescope of the CRS experiment on the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft during the time period from 1977 to 1993 with an average solar modulation level about 497 MV, roughly the same as at Earth near sunspot minimum. We obtain approximately 430 Al events of which approximately 35 are Al-26 and 395 are Al-27. The Al isotopes were separated with an average mass resolution sigma of 0.35 amu. Our interpretation of the isotopic composition of cosmic-ray aluminum is based on a standard Leaky-Box model for the interstellar propagation of cosmic-ray nuclei using the latest cross sections of the New Mexico-Saclay collaboration as well as a disk-halo diffusion model. From our observed ratio Al-26/Al-27 of 8.3 +/- 2.4 % we deduce an average interstellar density of about 0.52 (+0.26, -0.2) atoms per cu cm. This density is larger than the value of 0.28 (+0.14, -0.11) atoms per cu cm we found from an analysis of the observed abundance of the longer lived Be-10 made using data from the Voyager detectors over almost the same time interval and using essentially the same propagation program.

    SOFIP-A SHORT ORBITAL FLUX INTEGRATION PROGRAM (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: The Short Orbital Flux Integration Program, SOFIP, was developed to provide a fast and accurate evaluation of the space radiation environment expected to be encountered by geocentric satellites. SOFIP uses Vette's standardized models of the terrestrial trapped particle environment in performing the evaluation. For a given trajectory, the basic analysis involves the calculation of the composite integral orbit spectrum of either protons or electrons. Additional calculations which may be performed include exposure index, peaks per orbit, percent time in electron trapping zones, differential spectrum, and solor proton fluences. The results of the SOFIP calculations should provide the analyst with a detailed picture of the radiation environment in which the vehicle will operate. This program is written in FORTRAN IV for batch execution and has been implemented on an IBM 360 computer with a central memory requirement of approximately 60K of 8 bit bytes. The SOFIP program was developed in 1979.

    Galactic cosmic ray modulation and interplanetary medium perturbations due to a long-living active region during October 1989 (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: During October 1989, three very energetic flares were ejected by the same active region at longitudes 9 deg E, 32 deg W, and 57 deg W, respectively. The shape of the galactic cosmic ray variations suggests the presence of large magnetic cloud structures (Nagashima et al., 1990) following the shock-associated perturbations. In spite of long data gaps the interplanetary observations at Interplanetary Monitoring Platform (IMP) 8 (near the Earth) and International Cometary Explorer (ICE)(approximately 1 AU, approximately 65 deg W) confirm this possibility for the event related to the 9 deg E flare; the principal axes analysis shows that the interplanetary magnetic field variations at both spacecraft locations are mainly confined on a meridian plane. This result suggests that the western longitudinal extension of this cloud is indeed very large (greater than or equal to 5 deg). The nonnegligible depression in the cosmic ray intensity observed inside the possible cloud related to the 57 deg W flare indicates that also the eastern extension could be very wide. The analysis of neutron monitor data shows clearly the cosmic ray trapping effect of magnetic clouds; this mechanism seems to be responsible for the enhanced diurnal effect often observed during the recovery phase of Forbush decreases. We give an interpretation for the anisotropic cosmic ray peak occurring in the third event, and, related to that, we suggest that the Forbush decrease modulated region at the Earth's orbit could be somewhat wider than the magnetic cloud, as already anticipated by Nagashima et al. (1990). By this analysis, based mainly on cosmic ray data, we show that it is possible to do reasonable inferences on the large-scale structure of flare-related interplanetary perturbations when interplanetary medium data are not completely present.

    The blazar gamma-ray luminosity function and the diffuse extragalactic gamma-ray background (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: We have used the data from the new EGRET catalog on 'grazars' (blazers which are observed to be high-energy gamma-ray sources), together with radio data, to construct a new relation between radio and gamma-ray luminosity for these sources. Using this relation to construct a grazar gamma-ray luminosity function, we then calculate the contribution of unresolved grazars to the cosmic gamma-ray background radiation. We derive the energy spectrum of this background component above 100 MeV and the angular fluctuations in this background implied by our model.

    Compton scattering in jets: A mechanism for approximately 0.4 and less than or approximately 0.2 MeV line production (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: We show that gamma-ray line emission at approximately 0.4 and less than or approximately 0.2 MeV can be produced by Compton scattering of beamed radiation in the jets of Galactic black hole candidates. This mechanism has the novel feature of not invoking the presence of e(exp +)-e(exp -) pairs. To produce the two lines, we employ a symmetric double-sided jet with bulk flow velocity of about 0.5c and incident beam radiation with a hard energy spectrum. We show that the two lines can be seen at viewing-angle cosines relative to the jet ranging from 0.2 to 0.6. This comprises 40% of the total solid angle. In addition, the line radiation is approximately 10% polarized. Depending on the bulk flow and viewing angle, the model can produce lines at other energies as well. In particular, a broad feature near 1 MeV can be seen by viewing the jet close to its axis. Our model can also accommodate single-line spectra if the beamed gamma-ray emission or the jets themselves are asymmetric.

    The isotopic composition of cosmic-ray beryllium and its implication for the cosmic ray's age (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: We report a new measurement of the cosmic-ray isotopic composition of beryllium in the low-energy range from 35 to 113 MeV per nucleon. This measurement was made using the High Energy Telescope of the CRS experiment on the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft during the time period from 1977 to 1991. In this overall time period of 14 years the average solar modulation level was about 500 MV. The cosmic-ray beryllium isotopes were completely separated with an average mass resolution sigma of 0.185 amu. The isotope fractions of Be-7, Be-9, and Be-10 obtained are 52.4 +/- 2.9%, 43.3 +/- 3.7%, and 4.3 +/- 1.5%, respectively. The measured cosmic-ray abundances of Be-7 and Be-9 are found to be in agreement with calculations based on standard Leaky-Box model for the interstellar propagation of cosmic-ray nuclei using the recent cross sections of the New Mexico-Saclay collaboration. From our observed ratio Be-10/Be = 4.3 +/- 1.5% we deduce an average interstellar density of about 0.28 (+0.14, -0.11) atoms/cu cm, and acosmic-ray lifetime for escape of 27 (+19, -9) x 10(exp 6) years. The surviving fraction of Be-10 is found to be 0.19 +/- 0.07. Modifications to the conclusions of the Leaky-Box model when a diffusion + convection halo model for propagation is used are also considered.

    Can a variable alpha induce limit cycle behavior and exponential luminosity decay in transient soft x ray sources? (1994)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-08-31
    Description: There has been, recently, a revival of the stability problem of accretion disks. Much of this renewed interest is due to recent observational data on transient soft X-ray novae, which are low-mass X-ray binaries. It is widely believed that nonsteady mass transfer from the secondary onto the compact primary, through an accretion disk, is the reason for the observed spectacular events in the form of often repetitive outbursts, with recurrence times ranging from 1 to 60 yr and duration time on the scale of months. Though not having reached yet a consensus about the nature of the mechanism that regulates the mass transfer, the disk thermal instability model seems to be favored by the fact that the rise in the hard X-ray luminosity is prior to the rise in the soft X-ray luminosity, while the mass transfer instability model seems to be hindered by the fact that the luminosity during quiescence is unable to trigger the thermal instability. However, it should be stressed that, remarkably, the X-ray light curves of these X-ray novae all show overall exponential decays, a feature quite difficult to reproduce in the framework of the viscous disk model, which yields powerlike luminosity decay. Taking into account this observational constraint, we have studied the temporal evolution of perturbations in the accretion rate, under the assumption that alpha is radial and parameter dependent. The chosen dependence is such that the model can reproduce limit cycle behavior (the system is locally unstable but globally stable). However, the kind of dependence we are looking for in alpha does not allow us to use the usual Shakura and Sunyaev procedure in the sense that we no longer can obtain a linearized continuity equation without explicit dependence on the accretion rate. This is so because now we cannot eliminate the accretion rate by using the angular momentum conservation equation.

    Long-term modulation of galactic cosmic radiation and its model for space exploration (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-04-02
    Description: As the human exploration of space has received new attention in the United States, studies find that exposure to space radiation could adversely impact the mission design. Galactic Cosmic Radiation (GCR), with its very wide range of charges and energies, is particularly important for a mission to Mars, because it imposes a stiff mass penalty for spacecraft shielding. Dose equivalent versus shielding thickness calculations, show a rapid initial drop on exposure with thickness, but an asymptotic behavior at a higher shielding thickness. Uncertainties in the radiobiology are largely unknown. For a fixed radiation risk, this leads to large uncertainties in shielding thickness for small uncertainties in estimated dose. In this paper we investigate the application of steady-state, spherically-symmetric diffusion-convection theory of solar modulation to individual measurements of differential energy spectra from 1954 to 1989 in order to estimate the diffusion coefficient, kappa(r,t), as a function of time. We have correlated the diffusion coefficient to the Climax neutron monitor rates and show that, if the diffusion coefficient can be separated into independent functions of space and time: kappa(r,t)=K(t) k(sub 0) beta Pk(sub 1) (r), where beta is the particle velocity and P the rigidity, then (i) The time dependent quantity 1/K(t), which is proportional to the deceleration potential, phi(r,t), is linearly related to the Climax neutron monitor counting rate. (ii) The coefficients obtained from hydrogen or helium intensity measurements are the same. (iii) There are different correlation functions for odd and even solar cycles. (iv) The correlation function for the Climax neutron monitor counting rate for given time, t, can be used to estimate mean deceleration parameter phi(t) to within +/- 15% with 90% confidence. We have shown that k(r,t) determined from hydrogen and/or helium data, can be used to fit the oxygen and iron differential energy spectra with a root mean square error of about +/- 10%, and essentially independent of the particle charge or energy. We have also examined the ion chamber and C-14 measurements which allow the analysis to be extended from the year 1906 to 1990. Using this model we have defined reference GCR spectra at solar minimum and solar maximum. These can be used for space exploration studies and provide a quantitative estimate of the error in dose due to changes in GCR intensities.

    Proton flare and magnetic storm effect in the vicinity of the Earth (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-04-02
    Description: We have developed a model and associated computational procedure for estimating energetic proton exposures during a major solar proton event that occur in combination with a large magnetic storm. Transmission functions for solar protons are computed using geomagnetic vertical cutoff data for quiescent amd disturbed conditions. Predicted exposures in low altitude polar orbit are found to be orders of magnitude greater for severe magnetic storm conditions than are corresponding exposures in the absence of major disturbances. We examine the response scenario for the events of November 1960 as an example.

    Results of time-resolved radiation exposure measurements made during U.S. shuttle missions with a tissue equivalent proportional counter (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-04-02
    Description: Time resolved exposure measurements inside the crew compartment have been made during recent shuttle missions with the USAF Radiation Monitoring Equipment-III (RME-III), a portable four-channel tissue equivalent proportional counter. Results from the first six missions are presented and discussed. The missions had orbital inclinations ranging from 28 degrees to 57 degrees, and altitudes from 200-600km. Dose equivalent rates ranged from 40-5300 micro Sv/dy. The RME-III measurements are in good agreement with other dosimetry measurements made aboard the vehicle. Measurements indicate that medium- and high- Linear Energy Transfer (LET) particles contribute less than 2% of the particle fluence for all missions, but up to 50% of the dose equivalent, depending on the spacecraft's altitude and orbital inclination. Isa-dose rate contours have been developed from measurements made during the ST-28 mission. The drift rate of the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) is estimated to be 0.49 degrees W/yr and 0.12 degrees N/yr. The calculated trapped proton and Galactic Cosmic Radiation (GCR) dose for the STS-28 mission were significantly lower than the measured values.

    Solar modulation and nuclear fragmentation effects in galactic cosmic ray transport through shielding (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-04-02
    Description: Crews of manned interplanetary missions may accumulate significant radiation exposures from the Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) environment in space. Estimates of how these dose levels are affected by the assumed temporal and spatial variations in the composition of the GCR environment, and by the effects of the spacecraft and body self-shielding on the transported fields are presented. In this work, the physical processes through which shielding alters the transported radiation fields are described. We then present estimates of the effects on model calculations of (1) nuclear fragmentation model uncertainties, (2) solar modulation, (3) variations between solar cycles, and (4) proposed changes to the quality factors which relate dose equivalent to absorbed dose.

    Description: Continuum 16 channel spectra obtained from in flight data are used to identify and correct for nonlinearities in the channel-to-energy conversion algorithm for the BATSE large area detectors. The Crab Nebula spectra obtained by the BATSE earth occultation technique are used to characterize any nonlinearities inherent in the low energy channel bin widths on a detector by detector basis. The bin widths are optimized to remove distortions from observed gamma ray spectra. The recalibrated bin edges are used in an analysis of Crab Pulsar data to verify the improvements in the calibration.

    Balloon-borne measurements of the SN1987A hard x ray continuum (1994)

    Publication Date: 2019-01-25
    Description: SN1987A hard x ray continuum spectra obtained on 29 Oct. 1987, 9-10 Apr. 1988, and 11 Nov. 1988, from balloon flight measurements are presented. The spectra, spanning the energy range from 25 keV to 300 keV, were analyzed using a detector response matrix inversion technique that converts the spectra from counts/sec-sq cm-kev to photons/sec-sq cm-kev allowing direct comparison with theoretical models. The results indicate that the bulk of the Co-56 is mixed moderately through the inner regions of the SN envelope but they do not preclude the mixing of a small amount of the Co-56 further out into the envelope necessary to account for the observed Co-56 line fluxes. The effect of the ratio of Co-57 to Co-56 on the 11 Nov. 1988, continuum spectrum is discussed.

    A study of gamma ray burst continuum properties presnting evidence for two spectral states in bursts (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-01-25
    Description: Evidence is presented for the existence of two spectral states contributing simultaneously to the total spectrum observed in many gamma-ray bursts (GRB's). An ensemble of 120 GRB's measured by BATSE were studied, using 4 channel spectral data, to determine in which bursts the spectral states can be most effectively resolved. The technique of summing the low intensity spectra together to get an average spectrum allows for precise characterization of the average low intensity spectral behavior. The 4 and 16 channel spectra obtained by the BATSE Large Area Detectors (LAD's) are analyzed using a model-independent spectral inversion technique. The results of these analyses applied to an individual burst are discussed in detail.

    Publication Date: 2019-01-25
    Description: The continuum spectra of bursts are studied with particular emphasis placed on the search for spectral subcomponents. The spectra observed in individual bursts show significant evolution throughout their durations. The degree to which hard and soft spectra are combined in bursts and the effect this has on the complexity of the observed spectra are addressed. In particular the presence of broad cusps in spectra in the 50-100 keV range are studied to determine both the degree to which these features are present in the LAD data and whether superposition of hard and soft spectra simultaneously can account for them. Also the time histories of the power output (ergs/sec) from bursts are studied to investigate the dynamic coupling between hard and soft spectra in bursts as a probe of the autonomy of the hard and soft emission mechanisms.

    The continuum spectral characteristics of gamma ray bursts observed by BATSE (1994)

    Publication Date: 2019-01-25
    Description: Distributions of the continuum spectral characteristics of 260 bursts in the first Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) catalog are presented. The data are derived from flux ratios calculated from the BATSE Large Area Detector (LAD) four channel discriminator data. The data are converted from counts to photons using a direct spectral inversion technique to remove the effects of atmospheric scattering and the energy dependence of the detector angular response. Although there are intriguing clusterings of bursts in the spectral hardness ratio distributions, no evidence for the presence of distinct burst classes based on spectral hardness ratios alone is found. All subsets of bursts selected for their spectral characteristics in this analysis exhibit spatial distributions consistent with isotropy. The spectral diversity of the burst population appears to be caused largely by the highly variable nature of the burst production mechanisms themselves.

    Why galactic gamma-ray bursts might depend on environment: Blast waves around neutron stars (1994)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Although galactic models for gamma-ray bursts are hard to reconcile with the isotropy data, the issue is still sufficiently open that both options should be explored. The most likely 'triggers' for bursts in our Galaxy would be violent disturbances in the magnetospheres of neutron stars. Any event of this kind is likely to expel magnetic flux and plasma at relativistic speed. Such ejecta would be braked by the interstellar medium (ISM), and a gamma-ray flash may result from this interaction. The radiative efficiency, of this mechanism would depend on the density of the circumstellar ISM. Therefore, even if neutron stars were uniformly distributed in space (at least within 1-2 kpc of the Sun), the observed locations of bursts would correlate with regions of above-average ISM density.

    Do gamma-ray burst sources repeat? (1994)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The demonstration of repeated gamma-ray bursts from an individual source would severely constrain burst source models. Recent reports of evidence for repetition in the first BATSE burst catalog have generated renewed interest in this issue. Here, we analyze the angular distribution of 585 bursts of the second BATSE catalog (Meegan et al. 1994). We search for evidence of burst recurrence using the nearest and farthest neighbor statistic ad the two-point angular correlation function. We find the data to be consistent with the hypothesis that burst sources do not repeat; however, a repeater fraction of up to about 20% of the bursts cannot be excluded.

    Description: The X-ray properties of classical and weak-lined T Tauri stars are briefly reviewed, emphasizing recent results from the ROSAT satellite and prospects for ASCA. The interpretation of the high level of T Tauri X-rays as enhanced solar-type magnetic activity is discussed and criticized. The census of X-ray emitters is significantly increasing estimates of galactic star formation efficiency, and X-ray emission may be important for self-regulation of star formation. ASCA images will detect star formation regions out to several kiloparsecs and will study the magnetically heated plasma around T Tauri stars. However, images will often suffer from crowding effects.

    Discovery of intense gamma-ray flashes of atmospheric origin (1994)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Observations have been made of a new terrestrial phenomenon: brief (approx. millisecond), intense flashes of gamma rays, observed with space-borne detectors. These flashes must originate at altitudes in the atmosphere above at least 30 km in order to be observable by orbiting detectors aboard the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO). At least a dozen events have been detected over the past 2 years. The photon spectra from the events are very hard and are consistent with bremsstrahlung emission from energetic (MeV) electrons. The most likely origin of these high energy electrons, while speculative at this time, is a rare type of high altitude electrical discharge above thunderstorm regions.

    Theoretical and experimental studies relevant to interpretation of auroral emissions (1994)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: This report describes the accomplishments of a program designed to develop the tools necessary to interpret auroral emissions measured from a space-based platform. The research was divided into two major areas. The first area was a laboratory study designed to improve our understanding of the space vehicle external environment and how it will affect the space-based measurement of auroral emissions. Facilities have been setup and measurements taken to simulate the gas phase environment around a space vehicle; the radiation environment encountered by an orbiting vehicle that passes through the Earth's radiation belts; and the thermal environment of a vehicle in Earth orbit. The second major area of study was a modeling program to develop the capability of using auroral images at various wavelengths to infer the total energy influx and characteristic energy of the incident auroral particles. An ab initio auroral calculation has been added to the extant ionospheric/thermospheric global modeling capabilities within our group. Once the addition of the code was complete, the combined model was used to compare the relative intensities and behavior of various emission sources (dayglow, aurora, etc.). Attached papers included are: 'Laboratory Facility for Simulation of Vehicle-Environment Interactions'; 'Workshop on the Induced Environment of Space Station Freedom'; 'Radiation Damage Effects in Far Ultraviolet Filters and Substrates'; 'Radiation Damage Effects in Far Ultraviolet Filters, Thin Films, and Substrates'; 'Use of FUV Auroral Emissions as Diagnostic Indicators'; and 'Determination of Ionospheric Conductivities from FUV Auroral Emissions'.

    Effects of isotope selection on solution convergence in HZE transport (1994)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: A fragmenting iron ion produces hundreds of isotopes during nuclear reactions. These isotopes are represented in the solution of the transport problem. A reduced set of isotopes is selected to minimize the computational burden but introduces error in the final result. A minimum list of 122 isotopes is required for adequate representation of the mass and charge distributions of the secondary radiation fields. A reduced set of 80 isotopes is sufficient to represent the charge distribution alone and represents reasonably well the linear energy transfer properties of the iron beam. Because iron fragmentation produces nearly every isotope lighter than iron, the resulting 122-isotope list should be adequate for ion beams with charges equal to or less than 26.

    Convection and electrodynamic signatures in the vicinity of a Sun-aligned arc: Results from the Polar Acceleration Regions and Convection Study (Polar ARCS) (1994)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: An experimental campaign designed to study high-latitude auroral arcs was conducted in Sondre Stromfjord, Greenland, on February 26, 1987. The Polar Acceleration Regions and Convection Study (Polar ARCS) consisted of a coordinated set of ground-based, airborne, and sounding rocket measurements of a weak, sun-aligned arc system within the duskside polar cap. A rocket-borne barium release experiment, two DMSP satellite overflights, all-sky photography, and incoherent scatter radar measurements provided information on the large-scale plasma convection over the polar cap region while a second rocket instrumented with a DC magnetometer, Langmuir and electric field probes, and an electron spectrometer provided measurements of small-scale electrodynamics. The large-scale data indicate that small, sun-aligned precipitation events formed within a region of antisunward convection between the duskside auroral oval and a large sun-aligned arc further poleward. This convection signature, used to assess the relationship of the sun-aligned arc to the large-scale magnetospheric configuration, is found to be consistent with either a model in which the arc formed on open field lines on the dusk side of a bifurcated polar cap or on closed field lines threading an expanded low-latitude boundary layer, but not a model in which the polar cap arc field lines map to an expanded plasma sheet. The antisunward convection signature may also be explained by a model in which the polar cap arc formed on long field lines recently reconnected through a highly skewed plasma sheet. The small-scale measurements indicate the rocket passed through three narrow (less than 20 km) regions of low-energy (less than 100 eV) electron precipitation in which the electric and magnetic field perturbations were well correlated. These precipitation events are shown to be associated with regions of downward Poynting flux and small-scale upward and downward field-aligned currents of 1-2 micro-A/sq m. The paired field-aligned currents are associated with velocity shears (higher and lower speed streams) embedded in the region of antisunward flow.

    Stochastic solution to quantum dynamics (1994)

    Description: The quantum Liouville equation in the Wigner representation is solved numerically by using Monte Carlo methods. For incremental time steps, the propagation is implemented as a classical evolution in phase space modified by a quantum correction. The correction, which is a momentum jump function, is simulated in the quasi-classical approximation via a stochastic process. The technique, which is developed and validated in two- and three- dimensional momentum space, extends an earlier one-dimensional work. Also, by developing a new algorithm, the application to bound state motion in an anharmonic quartic potential shows better agreement with exact solutions in two-dimensional phase space.

    Recent space shuttle observations of the South Atlantic anomaly and the radiation belt models (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-04-02
    Description: Active ingredients consisting of Tissue Equivalent Proportional Counter (TEPC) and a Proton and Heavy Ion Detector (PHIDE) have been carried on a number of Space Shuttle flights. These instruments have allowed us to map out parts of the South Atlantic Particle Anomaly (SAA) and to compare some of it's features with predictions of the AP-8 energetic proton flux models. We have observed that consistent with the generally observed westward drift of the surface features of the terrestial magnetic field of the SAA has moved west by about 6.9 degrees longitude between the epoch year 1970 of the AP-8 solar maximum model and the Space Shuttle observations made twenty years later. However, calculations indicate that except for relatively brief periods following very large magnetic storms the SAA seems to occupy the same position in L-space as in 1970. After the great storm of 24 March 1991 reconfiguration of the inner radiation belt and/or proton injection into the inner belt, a second energetic proton belt was observed to form at approximately equal to 2. As confirmed by a subsequent flight observations, this belt was shown to persist at least for six months. Our measurements also indicate an upward shift in the L location of the primary belt from L = 1.4 to L = 1.5. In addition we confirm through direct real time observations the existence and the approximate magnitude of the East-West effect. If the need exists for improved and updated radiation belt models in the Space Station era, these observations point out the specific features that should be considered and incorporated when this task is undertaken.

    Publication Date: 2019-04-02
    Description: The Solar Particle Events (SPE) will contain a primary alpha particle component, representing a possible increase in the potential risk to astronauts during an SPE over the often studied proton component. We discuss the physical interactions of alpha particles important in describing the transport of these particles through spacecraft and body shielding. Models of light ion reactions are presented and their effects on energy and Linear Energy Transfer (LET) spectra in shielding are discussed. We present predictions of particle spectra, dose, and dose equivalent in organs of interest for SPE spectra typical of those occurring in recent solar cycles. The large events of solar cycle 19 are found to have substantial increase in biological risk from alpha particles, including a large increase in secondary neutron production from alpha particle breakup.

    Search for gamma-ray events in the BATSE data base (1994)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: We find large location errors and error radii in the locations of channel 1 Cygnus X-1 events. These errors and their associated uncertainties are a result of low signal-to-noise ratios (a few sigma) in the two brightest detectors for each event. The untriggered events suffer from similarly low signal-to-noise ratios, and their location errors are expected to be at least as large as those found for Cygnus X-1 with a given signal-to-noise ratio. The statistical error radii are consistent with those found for Cygnus X-1 and with the published estimates. We therefore expect approximately 20 - 30 deg location errors for the untriggered events. Hence, many of the untriggered events occurring within a few months of the triggered activity from SGR 1900 plus 14 are indeed consistent with the SGR source location, although Cygnus X-1 is also a good candidate.

    Performance study of galactic cosmic ray shield materials (1994)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The space program is faced with two difficult radiation protection issues for future long-term operations. First, retrofit of shield material or conservatism in shield design is prohibitively expensive and often impossible. Second, shielding from the cosmic heavy ions is faced with limited knowledge on the physical properties and biological responses of these radiations. The current status of space shielding technology and its impact on radiation health is discussed herein in terms of conventional protection practice and a test biological response model. The impact of biological response on the selection of optimum materials for cosmic ray shielding is presented in terms of the transmission characteristics of the shield material. Although the systematics of nuclear cross sections are able to demonstrate the relation of exposure risk to shield-material composition, the current uncertainty in-nuclear cross sections will not allow an accurate evaluation of risk reduction. This paper presents a theoretical study of risk-related factors and a pilot experiment to study the effectiveness of choice of shield materials to reduce the risk in space operations.

    Gamma-ray burst constraints on the galactic frequency of extra-solar Oort clouds (1994)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: With the strong CGRO/BATSE evidence that most gamma-ray bursts do not come from galactic neutron stars, models involving the accretion of a comet onto a neutron star (NS) no longer appear to be strong contenders for explaining the majority of bursts. If this is the case, then it is worth asking whether the lack of an observed galactic gamma-ray burst population provides a useful constraint on the number of comets and comet clouds in the galaxy. Owing to the previously unrecognized structural weakness of cometary nuclei, we find the capture cross sections for comet-NS events to be much higher than previously published estimates, with tidal breakup at distances R(sub b) approximately equals to 4 x 10(exp 10) cm from the NS. As a result, impacts of comets onto field NS's penetrating the Oort Clouds of other stars are found to dominate all other galactic NS-comet capture rates by a factor of 100. This in turn predicts that if comet clouds are common, there should be a significant population of repeater sources with (1) a galactic distribution, (2) space-correlated repetition, and (3) a wide range of peak luminosities and luminosity time histories. If all main sequences stars have Oort Clouds like our own, we predict approximately 4000 such repeater sources in the Milky Way at any time, each repeating on timescales of months to years. Based on estimates of the sensitivity of the CGRO/BATSE instrument and assuming isotropic gamma-ray beaming from such events, we estimate that a population of approximately 20-200 of these galactic NS-Oort Cloud gamma-ray repeater sources should be detectable by CGRO. In addition, if giant planet formation is common in the galaxy, we estimate that the accretion of isolated comets injected to the interstellar medium by giant planet formation should produce an additional source of galactic, nonrepeating events. Comparing these estimates to the three to four soft gamma-ray repeater sources detected by BATSE, one is forced to conclude that (1) comet impacts on NS's are inefficient at producing gamma-rays; or (2) the gamma-rays from such events are highly beamed; or (3) the fraction of stars in the galaxy with Oort Cloud like our own is not higher than a few percent.

    Preliminary estimates of nucleon fluxes in a water target exposed to solar-flare protons: BRYNTRN versus Monte Carlo code (1994)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: A baryon transport code (BRYNTRN) has previously been verified using available Monte Carlo results for a solar-flare spectrum as the reference. Excellent results were obtained, but the comparisons were limited to the available data on dose and dose equivalent for moderate penetration studies that involve minor contributions from secondary neutrons. To further verify the code, the secondary energy spectra of protons and neutrons are calculated using BRYNTRN and LAHET (Los Alamos High-Energy Transport code, which is a Monte Carlo code). These calculations are compared for three locations within a water slab exposed to the February 1956 solar-proton spectrum. Reasonable agreement was obtained when various considerations related to the calculational techniques and their limitations were taken into account. Although the Monte Carlo results are preliminary, it appears that the neutron albedo, which is not currently treated in BRYNTRN, might be a cause for the large discrepancy seen at small penetration depths. It also appears that the nonelastic neutron production cross sections in BRYNTRN may underestimate the number of neutrons produced in proton collisions with energies below 200 MeV. The notion that the poor energy resolution in BRYNTRN may cause a large truncation error in neutron elastic scattering requires further study.

    X-ray remote sensing and in-situ spectroscopy for planetary exploration missions and gamma-ray remote sensing and in-situ spectroscopy for planetary exploration missions (1994)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Detectors that will be used for planetary missions must have their responses calibrated in a reproducible manner. A calibration facility is being constructed at Schlumberger-Doll Research for gamma and x ray detectors. With this facility the detector response can be determined in an invariant and reproducible fashion. Initial use of the facility is expected for the MARS94 detectors. Work is continuing to better understand the rare earth oxyorthosilicates and to define their characteristics. This will allow a better use of these scintillators for planetary missions. In a survey of scintillating materials two scintillators were identified as promising candidates besides GSO, LSO, and YSO. These are CdWO4 and CsI(Tl). It will be investigated if a detector with a better overall performance can be assembled with various photon converters. Considerable progress was achieved in photomultiplier design. The length of an 1 inch diameter PMT could be reduced from 4.2 to 2.5 inches without performance degradation. This technology is being employed in the gamma ray detector for the NEAR project. A further weight and size reduction of the detector package can be achieved with miniaturized integrated power supplies.

    Description: A monoenergetic version of the BRYNTRN transport code is extended to beam transport of light ions (H-2, H-3, He-3, and He-4) in shielding materials (thick targets). The redistribution of energy in nuclear reactions is included in transport solutions that use nuclear fragmentation models. We also consider an equilibrium target-fragment spectrum for nuclei with mass number greater than four to include target fragmentation effects in the linear energy transfer (LET) spectrum. Illustrative results for water and aluminum shielding, including energy and LET spectra, are discussed for high-energy beams of H-2 and He-4.

    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Two related studies of radio galaxies are covered in this report. The first is a search for inverse Compton x-rays from the lobes of Fornax A. In this study, a ROSAT position sensitive proportional counter image of Fornax A (NGC 1316) is presented, and after image processing, it was observed that the x-ray emission closely mimicked the radio emission. A second study involved x-rays from radio galaxies straddling the Fanaroff-Riley transition which divides radio galaxies into two broad morphological groups based on whether the lobe radio power is greater or less than a critical value. ROSAT HRI observations were obtained from four bright radio galaxies around the transition to search for x-ray indications of either nuclear engine or ambient medium differences.

    Relativistic shock spectra: A prediction (1994)

    Description: I argue that particles heated by relativistic shocks should assume an equilibrium energy distribution. This leads to a synchrotron spectrum F(sub nu) varies as nu(sup 1/3) up to approximately the critical frequency nu(sub 0) of an electron with the mean electron energy. Application to gamma ray bursts (GRB's) implies that a burst with 10(exp -5) erg/(sq cm s) of soft gamma-rays and h(nu(sub 0)) = 300 KeV should be about 18th magnitude in visible light and a few micro-Jy at 1 GHz (less if self-absorbed).

    Radio and optical emission: Spectral shapes and breaks in GRB (1994)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Relativistic blast wave models of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB) predict the spectrum of the emitted synchrotron radiation. The electrons in the shocked region are heated to a Wien distribution whose 'temperature' is 1/3 of the mean electron energy. This energy determines a characteristic (break) frequency of synchrotron radiation. At much lower frequencies, a spectrum F(sub nu) varies as nu(sup 1/3) is predicted independently of the details of the emitting region. This is consistent with the observed soft x ray emission of GRB. It implies low visible and radio intensities, unless there are collective emission processes.

    A search for pre- and post-burst emission from well-localized gamma-ray burst locations (1994)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-20
    Description: We present the results from the first long-term search for nonburst gamma-ray emission from the positions of 70 intense, well-localized bursts. Using the BATSE occultation technique, designed for monitoring of discrete sources, these burst positions were measured in the energy range of approximately 15 keV to 1.8 MeV over a 112 day interval during 1991. None of these 70 locations exhibited detectable emission at or above the level of approximately 5 x 10(exp -9) ergs cm(exp -2) s(exp -1) during the 112 day interval. This level is approximately 1000 times less than the typical intensity of the burst associated with the given location. In addition, 35 intense gamma-ray bursts detected by BATSE were examined in a five day interval centered on the time of detection. We find no compelling evidence that these bursts emit preburst emission or display prompt postburst emission at a level of approximately 5 x 10(exp -9) ergs cm(exp 2) s(exp -1) on timescales of approximately 1 hr or longer. The lack of detectable long-term emission or preburst and postburst emission from the positions of gamma-ray bursts has important consequences for a variety of burst production models.

The main results presented in this paper are appropriate analytic expressions of the transfer function relating temperature fluctuations to matter density perturbations at recombination for all possible recombination histories. Furthermore, we particularize our calculation to the standard cold dark matter model, where we study the erasure of primordial temperature fluctuations and calculate the magnitude and angular scale of the damping induced by a late recombination.

    Weak soft X-ray excesses need not result from the high-frequency tail of the optical/ultraviolet bump in active galactic nuclei (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: The broad-band ROSAT/EXOSAT X-ray spectra of six Seyfert 1 galaxies are fitted by a model consisting of a direct power law and a component due to reflection/reprocessing from a partially ionized, optically thick medium. The reflected spectrum contains emission features from various elements in the soft X-ray range. In all objects but one (Mrk 335), the fit is satisfactory, and no additional soft X-ray excess is required by the data. This means that in most sources there is no need for the thermal 'big blue bumps' to extend into soft X-rays, and the soft X-ray excesses reported previously can be explained by reflection/reprocessing. Satisfactory fits are obtained for a medium ionized by a source radiating at less than or approximately 15% of the Eddington rate. The fits require that the reflection is enhanced relative to an isotropically emitting source above a flat disk. The necessary high effectiveness of reflection in the soft X-ray band requires strong soft thermal flux dominating over hard X-rays.

    Network synthesis localization of two soft gamma repeaters (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: We introduce the method of 'network synthesis,' which allows the detection of very weak gamma-ray transient signals in the data of the Ulysses gamma-ray burst (GRB) experiment from repeating sources. It consists of defining a grid of alpha, delta values, and for each BATSE detection of a burst from a soft gamma repeater, predicting the arrival time of the burst at Ulysses and co-adding the Ulysses data rephased so that the burst signals are aligned in time and produce a detectable pulse. We demonstrate that this method identifies the position of the soft repeater SGR 1806-20, and apply it to the repeater B1900+14. We show that the counterpart to this burst source is probably in or in the vicinity of the Galactic supernova remnant G42.8+0.6.

    An instrument to measure the charge, and energy spectrum (20-1000 GeV/a) of the cosmic ray species oxygen to iron (1994)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: BUGS-4 (Bristol University Gas Scintillator-4) made its maiden engineering flight from Fort Summer (NM) on the 29th of September 1993. The instrument was consumed by fire after striking a power line during landing following 24 hours at float. The analysis of the telemetered data from this sophisticated instrument is a demanding task. Early analysis was compromised by electronic artifacts. Unravelling these problems has been difficult and time consuming, especially as the flight hardware was burned beyond salvage, but is is an essential preliminary to analysis. During this report period we have concentrated on a small sub-set of data (the first 30,000 events; 90 minutes at float), and developed software algorithms to correct systematic errors. Using these corrected events we have begun to develop the analysis algorithms. Although the analysis is preliminary, and restricted to the first 30,000 events, the results are encouraging, and suggest the design concepts are well matched to this application. Further work will refine the analysis, and allow quantitative evaluation of the concepts employed in BUGS-4 for applicability to future instruments. We believe this work will justify fabrication of a new instrument employing techniques deployed on BUGS-4.

    An iron absorption model of gamma-ray burst spectra (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: Most gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) exhibit deficits of X-rays below approximately 200 keV. Here we consider a spectral model in which the burst source is shielded by an optically thick layer of circumburster material (CBM) rich in iron-group elements whose photoelectric absorption opacity exceeds the Thomson opacity below approximately 120 keV. For power-law distributions of absorption depths along the lines of sight the absorbed spectrum can indeed mimic the typial GRB spectrum. This model predicts that (a) the spectrum should evolve monotonically from hard to soft during each energy release, which is observed in most bursts, especially in fast rise exponential decay bursts; (b) Fe spectral features near 7 keV may be present in some bursts; and (c) the ratio of burst distances to the CBM and to Earth should be approximately 10(exp -11) if the spectral evolution is purely due to Fe stripping by the photons.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) has conducted an all-sky survey to locate and identify point sources of emission in four extreme ultraviolet wavelength bands centered at approximately 100, 200, 400, and 600 A. A companion deep survey of a strip along half the ecliptic plane was simultaneously conducted. In this catalog we report the sources found in these surveys using rigorously defined criteria uniformly applied to the data set. These are the first surveys to be made in the three longer wavelength bands, and a substantial number of sources were detected in these bands. We present a number of statistical diagnostics of the surveys, including their source counts, their sensitivites, and their positional error distributions. We provide a separate list of those sources reported in the EUVE Bright Source List which did not meet our criteria for inclusion in our primary list. We also provide improved count rate and position estimates for a majority of these sources based on the improved methodology used in this paper. In total, this catalog lists a total of 410 point sources, of which 372 have plausible optical ultraviolet, or X-ray identifications, which are also listed.

    Gamma ray emission from radio pulsars (1994)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: While the proposed research received partial funding under this grant, during the term of support substantial progress was made on the development of a new model for the emission of gamma-rays from isolated rotation-powered pulsars. In phase one of the work, we showed how a modified version of the 'outer gap' model of pulsar emission could reproduce the double peaked profiles seen in CGRO pulsar observations. This work also demonstrated the spectrum of gap radiation varies significantly with position in the magnetosphere, and produced approximate computations of the emission from outer magnetosphere gap zones, including primary curvature radiation, gamma - gamma pair production and synchrotron radiation and inverse Compton scattering by the resulting secondary particles. This work was followed in phase two by a more complete treatment of the geometry of the radiation zone, and improved connections with observations at other wavelengths.

    Galactic cosmic ray composition and energy spectra (1994)
    In:  Other Sources

    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: Galactic cosmic ray nuclei represent a significant risk to long-duration spaceflight outside the magnetosphere. We review briefly existing measurements of the composition and energy spectra of heavy cosmic ray nuclei, pointing out which species and energy ranges are most critical to assessing cosmic ray risks for spaceflight. Key data sets are identified and a table of cosmic ray abundances is presented for elements from H to Ni (Z = 1 to 28). Because of the 22-year nature of the solar modulation cycle, data from the approaching 1998 solar minimum is especially important to reducing uncertainties in the cosmic ray radiation hazard. It is recommended that efforts to model this hazard take advantage of approaches that have been developed to model the astrophysical aspects of cosmic rays.

    Compton Gamma Ray Observatory/BATSE observations of energetic electrons scattered by cyclotron resonance with waves from powerful VLF transmitters (1994)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: To obtain a better understanding of the wave-particle mechanisms responsible for the loss of electrons from the radiation belts, energetic electron data from the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) on the NASA's Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (GRO) was studied. Powerful ground-based VLF transmitters resonantly scatter electrons from the inner radiation belt onto trajectories from which they precipitate into the atmosphere as they drift eastward. 563 instances in which the satellite traversed a cloud of energetic electrons which had been scattered into quasi-trapped trajectories were identified. From the longitude distribution, it was concluded that waves from the VLF transmitter NWC at 114 deg E are the origin of 257 of the events, and waves from UMSat 44 deg E related to 45 more. In another 177 cases the electrons had drifted from the longitude of these transmitters to a location in the western hemisphere. The previously reported seasonal variation in the frequency of occurrence of cyclotron resonance interaction is confirmed with the continuous coverage provided by GRO. The frequency of occurrence of the cyclotron resonance interactions is largest before sunrise, which we attribute to the diurnal variations in the transmission VLF waves through the ionosphere. For the first time, unique very narrow sheets of electrons occurring in the aftermath of a large geomagnetic storm are reported.

    MACHOs and the diffuse X-ray background (1994)

    Publication Date: 2019-08-27
    Description: The possible contribution of X-ray emission from massive compact objects in the Galactic halo (MACHOs) to the diffuse X-ray background is explored. We show that such emission cannot be responsible for the shadowing seen in soft X-ray observations by ROSAT but that these objects may indeed contribute significantly (at levels greater than 10%) to the diffuse background at higher (greater than or approximately 0.5 keV) energies. Thus, X-ray observations may well be able to significantly constrain the spatial distribution of MACHOs.

    On the energetics and number of gamma-ray pulsars (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-27
    Description: We examine a nearly aligned pulsar model with polar cap acceleration in order to explain the energetics and number of the known gamma-ray pulsars. In this model, the efficiency of converting spin-down luminosity to gamma-ray luminosity increases with decreasing spin-down luminosity, a trend recently emphasized by Ulmer. The predicted gamma-ray flux is proportional to dot P(exp 3/4)/P(exp 5/4) d(exp 2), where P is the period, dot P is the period derivative, and d is the distance to the pulsar. For initial spin periods between approximately equals 10 and 30 ms and neutron star polar magnetic fields between approximately equals 1 and 4 TG, this model accounts for the number and age distribution of the five pulsars which have been observed to emit gamma rays at energies greater than 100 MeV. Implications for pulsar studies are considered.

    Duration versus brightness of gamma-ray bursts: Comparisons between SIGNE and BATSE (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: We analyze duration and brightness distributions of both the SIGNE Venera 13 and 14 and Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) gamma-ray burst databases. Choosing T(sub 50) as a measure of the burst duration and using both 64 and 1024 ms peak count rates, we search for correlations between duration, peak brightness, and the ratio V identically equals C(sub 64)/C(sub 1024), proposed as a measure of variability by Lamb, Graziani, & Smith. The duration histogram for SIGNE shows a long-duration peak that is consistent with BATSE, but does not exhibit the short population, instead appearing flat below 0.6 s; the difference is presumably caused by the failure of SIGNE to detect the short, faint bursts that were observed by BATSE. Estimating the instantaneous brightness by C(sub 64), we find that SIGNE confirms the BATSE result that the long and short bursts have similar maximum instantaneous brightnesses. Scatterplots between duration, brightness, and V are consistent for both databases; we show that SIGNE confirms the BATSE observation that there is a lack of bursts that are both bright over 1024 ms and contain a short, bright spike.

    Hard X-rays from SN 1993J (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: The Oriented Scintillation Spectrometer Experiment (OSSE) on the Compton Observatory observed SN 1993J during three intervals centered approximately 12, 30, and 108 days after its outburst. Hard X-ray emission was detected in the first two of these intervals. No emission was seen in the third observation or in two earlier observations in 1991 and 1992. The coincidence of the observed excess with the outburst of SN 1993J and the consistency of the spectra and time evolution with those seen at lower energies by ROSAT and ASCA (Astro-D) argue that the observed emission is indeed from SN 1993J. It is probably due to the interaction of the fast supernova ejecta with circumstellar material. The luminosity, 5 x 10(exp 40) ergs/sec (50-150 keV) in the first interval, is significantly larger than predicted. Extrapolating the spectrum to a few keV accounts for most or all of the observed emission at low energy. The observed high temperature, 10(exp 9) K, is easily obtained in the shocked circumstellar matter, but a surprisingly high density is required there to give the observed luminosity, and little or no additional X-ray emission from denser shocked supernova ejecta is allowed. The hard emission might also be explained in terms of the shocked supernova ejecta itself with unexpectedly high temperature.

    Observations of enhanced sub-iron (Sc-Cr) to Iron abundance ratios in the low energy galactic cosmic rays in Spacelab-3 and their implications (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: The Anuradha cosmic ray experiment in Spacelab-3, flown in the orbit at 350 km with an inclination of 57 deg for about six days, was used to measure the low energy galactic cosmic ray (GCR) heavy ions using a specially designed CR-39 detector module incorporating the arrival time information of the particles. The abundances of sub-iron (Sc-Cr) and iron particles in the low energy interval of 30-300 MeV/N were determined from the measurements made in four different depths of the Cr-39 detector module of 150 layers. From these studies we obtained sub-iron (Sc-Cr) to iron abundance ratios of 0.8 to 1.2 in 30-300 MeV/N energy range. It is found that these ratios are enhanced by a factor of two as compared to interplanetary ratios of about 0.5. It is shown that the enhancement of the ratio inside the earth's magnetosphere is probably due to the degree of ionization of low energy Sc to Cr and Fe ions in the galactic cosmic rays and to the rigidity filtering effects of the geomagnetic field. Further studies are needed to understand fully the phenomena and their implications.

    Low-frequency spectra of gamma-ray bursts (1994)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: Particles with energies below the mean energy E(sub 0) in relativistic shocked plasmas should assume an equilibrium energy distribution. This leads to a synchrotron spectrum F(sub nu) proportional to nu(exp 1/3) up to approximately the critical frequency nu(sub 0) of an electron with the energy E(sub 0). Application to gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) implies that a burst with 10(exp -5) ergs/sq cm/s of soft gamma rays and h nu(sub 0) = 300 keV should simultaneously be about 18th magnitude in visible light and a few micro-J at 1 GHz (less if self-absorbed); the low-freqency intensities peak later at higher values.

    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: The Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR) contain fully stripped nuclei, from Hydrogen to beyond the Iron group, accelerated to high energies and are a major component of the background radiation encountered by satellites and interplanetary spacecraft. This paper presents a GCR model which is based upon our current understanding of the astrophysics of GCR transport through interstellar and interplanetary space. The model can be used to predict the energy spectra for all stable and long-lived radioactive species from H to Ni over an energy range from 50 to 50,000 MeV/nucleon as a function of a single parameter, the solar modulation level phi. The details of this model are summarized, phi is derived for the period 1974 to present, and results from this model during the 1990/1991 Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite (CRRES) mission are presented.

    Generation of radiation in solar corona and interplanetary space by energetic electrons (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: Emissions of electromagnetic waves with frequencies close to the plasma frequency and/or its second harmonic have been frequently observed in the solar corona and interplanetary space. In the past, a number of theories have been put forward to esplain the generation mechanism of the observed radiation. In this paper, a new model is proposed. The essential point of the present theory is that the Langmuir waves amplified as a result of the usual beam instability can lead to two important effects: first, electrostatic waves with frequencies close to twice the plasma frequency can be excited; and second, a significant modification of the dispersion relation can occur, so that these electrostatic waves can naturally change into electomagnetic waves as they propagate in a plasma in which the plasma density decreases spatially. The latter effect is attributed to a mode couplng process. In addition to the second harmonic emission, emission at the fundamental is also briefly discussed. In this case, as in many other theories, the presence of a very low frequency electostatic wave such as the ion-acoustic wave is assumed. The emission process discussed in the present theory stresses the importance of mode coupling and conversion rather than kinetic processes such as a nonlinear wave-wave or wave-particle scattering.

    On the bimodal distribution of gamma-ray bursts (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: Kouveliotou et al. recently confirmed that gamma-ray bursts are bimodal in duration. In this paper we compute the statistical properties of the short (less than or = 2 s) and long (greater than 2 s) bursts using a method of analysis that makes no assumption regarding the location of the bursts, whether in the Galaxy or at a cosmological distance. We find the 64 ms channel on Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) to be more sensitive to short bursts and the 1024 ms channel to be more sensitive to long bursts. We show that all the currently available data are consistent with the simple hypothesis that both short and long bursts have the same spatial distribution and that within each population the sources are standard candles. The rate of short bursts per unit volume is about 40% of the rate of long bursts. Although the durations of short and long gamma-ray bursts span several orders of magnitude and the total energy of a typical short burst is smaller than that of a typical long burst by a factor of about 20, surprisingly the peak luminosities of the two kinds of bursts are equal to within a factor of about 2.

    Unsteady outflow models for cosmological gamma-ray bursts (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: The 'event' that triggers a gamma-ray burst cannot last for more than a few seconds. This is, however, long compared with the dynamical timescale of a compact stellar-mass object (approximately 10 (exp-3) s). Energy is assumed to be released as an outflow with high mean Lorentz factor Gamma. But a compact stellar-mass collapse or merger is, realistically, likely to generate a mass (or energy) flux that is unsteady on some timescales in the range 10(exp -3) - 10 s. If Gamma fluctuates by a factor of approximately 2 around its mean value, relative motions within the outflowing material will themselves (in the comoving frame) be relativistic, and can give rise to internal shocks. For Gamma approximately 10(exp 2), the resultant dissipation occurs outside the 'photosphere' and can convert a substantial fraction of the overall outflow energy into nonthermal radiation. This suggests a mechanism for cosmological bursts that demands less extreme assumptions (in respect of Gamma-values, freedom from baryonic contamination, etc.) than earlier proposals.

    Non-dipolar magnetic field models and patterns of radio emission: Uranus and Neptune compared (1994)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: The magnetic field geometries of Uranus and Neptune are superficially similar, and are similarly unlike those of other planets: the field strengths are similar, and they contain extraordinarily large non-dipolar components. As a corollary, the best dipolar field models of each of the two planets comprises a dipole that is considerably offset from the planetary center and tilted away from the rotational axis. However, in other respects the best field models of the two planets are quite different. Uranus has a quadrupole model in which all the terms are well determined and in which none of the higher order terms is determined. To represent the magnetometer data acquired during Voyager's Neptune encounter requires a model of order 8 (instead of Uranus' order 2), yet many of the coefficients are poorly determined. A second model, an octupole model comprising the terms up to order three of the order 8 model, has been suggested by the magnetometer team as being useful; its use, however, is limited only to the region outside of about 2R(exp N), whereas planetary radio emissions have their sources well inside this surface. Computer code has been written that permits an analysis of the detailed motion of low energy charged particles moving in general planetary magnetic fields. At Uranus, this code reveals the existence of an isolated region of the inner magnetosphere above the day side in which particles may be trapped, separate from the more general magnetospheric trapping. An examination of the so-call ordinary mode uranian radio emissions leads us to believe that these emissions are in fact extraordinary mode emissions coming from particles trapped in this isolated region. A similar attempt to discover trapping regions at Neptune has proved, unfortunately, to be impossible. This arises from three factors: (1) the computation needed to track particles in an eighth order field is more than an order of magnitude greater than that needed to perform a similar calculation in a quadrupole field, and is beyond the capacity of workstation-class computers; (2) the octupole field model is known to be in error by too large an ammount for it, or any similarly truncated version of the eighth order model, to produce trustworthy results; (3) the eighth order model can, in effect, be infinitely varied without affecting the field strength along the spacecraft trajectory.

    GRO: Black hole models for gamma-ray bursts (1994)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: The possibility of creating gamma ray bursts (GRB's) from accretion flows on to black holes is investigated. The mechanism of initial energy release in the form of a burst is not understood yet. The typical time scales involved in this energy release and the initial distribution of photons as a function of energy are studied. As a first step the problem is formulated in the Minkowski spacetime for a homogeneous and isotropic burst. For an arbitrary initial distribution of photons, the equations of relativistic kinetic theory are formulated for nonequilibrium plasmas which can take into account various particle creation and annihilation processes and various scattering processes.

    Galactic cosmic ray abundances and spectra behind defined shielding (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: Linear Energy Transfer (LET) spectra have been measured for lunar missions and for several near Earth orbits ranging from 28 deg to 83 deg inclination. In some of the experiments the flux of Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR) was determined separately from contributions caused by interactions in the detector material. Results of these experiments are compared to model calculations. The general agreement justifies the use of the model to calculate GCR fluxes. The magnitude of variations caused by solar modulation, geomagnetic shielding, and shielding by matter determined from calculated LET spectra is generally in agreement with experimental data. However, more detailed investigations show that there are some weak points in modeling solar modulation and shielding by material. These points are discussed in more detail.

    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: Some early results are summarized from a program under way to utilize Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) satellite data for evaluating and improving current models of the space radiation environment in low Earth orbit. Reported here are predictions and comparisons with some of the LDEF dose and induced radioactivity data, which are used to check the accuracy of current models describing the magnitude and directionality of the trapped proton environment. Preliminary findings are that the environment models underestimate both dose and activation from trapped protons by a factor of about two, and the observed anisotropy is higher than predicted.

    An analysis of gamma ray burst time histories (1994)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: Gamma ray burst time histories, ranging in durations from milliseconds to thousands of seconds, are as varied as the number of bursts. They show a wide array of structures from those that are very smooth to those that contain a seemingly uncountable number of spikes riding on top of other spikes. These profiles have tantalized researchers for years - they obviously hold important information on the nature of GRB's, but to date no one has been successful in analyzing them. For the past year the author has been working on algorithms to analyze these data. Two approaches have been followed in this investigation. The first is an attempt to quantify the amount of structure, or spikiness, in a profile. The second involves applying the latest theorems on chaos and fractals with the aim of extracting useful information from what seems to be a random collection of shot noise.

    New description of charged particle propagation in random magnetic fields (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-27
    Description: When charged particles spiral along a large constant magnetic field, their trajectories are scattered by random components that are superposed on the guiding field. In the simplest analysis of this situation, scattering causes the particles to diffuse parallel to the guiding field. At the next level of approximation, moving pulses that correspond to a coherent mode of propagation are present, but they are represented by delta-functions whose infinitely narrow width makes no sense physically and is inconsistent with the finite duration of coherent pulses observed in solar energetic particle events. To derive a more realistic description, the transport problem is formulated in terms of 4 x 4 matrices, which derive from a representation of the particle distribution function in terms of eigenfunctions of the scattering operator, and which lead to useful approximations that give explicit predictions of the detailed evolution not only of the coherent pulses, but also of the diffusive wake. More specifically, the new description embodies a simple convolution of a narrow Gaussian with the solutions above that involve delta-functions, but with a slightly reduced coherent velocity. The validity of these approximations, which can easily be calculated on a desktop computer, has been exhaustively confirmed by comparison with results of Monte Carlo simulations which kept track of 50 million particles and which were carried out on the Maspar computer at Goddard Space Flight Center.

    Description / Table of Contents: Positive und negative Photostrukturen wurden in einem Polyimid (PI) aus 4,4′-Biphthalsäureanhydrid (BPA) und 4,4′-Diamino-3,3′-dimethyldiphenylmethan (DADMDPM), PI(BPA/DADMDPM) erzeugt, nachdem dieses mit Michlers Keton (MK) bzw. Benzophenon (BP) dotiert und einer ultravioletten Strahlung von 400 ± 50 nm ausgesetzt und naß entwickelt wurde. Das Prinzip der positiven Abbildung basiert auf dem Photokupplungseffekt von MK mit PI, der die Löslichkeit des Polyimids erhöht und so die Entwicklung eines Positivmusters ermöglicht. Die Erzeugung negativer Muster wird durch intermakromolekulare Wasserstoffbrücken zwischen der Carbonylgruppe des Imid-Rings und der Hydroxygruppe, die bei der photoinduzierten Kupplung von Benzophenon mit dem Polyimid gebildet wird, bewirkt. Die lithographische Auswertung zeigt, daß der mit MK dotierte, positive Polyimidfilm nicht in der Lage ist, brauchbare Muster zu erzeugen, da die UV-Wellenlängen von MK absorbiert werden, wodurch die Photokupplung in den tieferen Schichten des Films verhindert wird. Andererseits können in dem 0,6 μm dicken, mit Benzophenon dotierten Polyimidfilm sogar 2 μm schmale Linien aufgelöst werden.
    Notes: Positive and negative photostructures are formed after the polyimide (PI) of 4,4′-biphthalic anhydride (BPA) and 4,4′-diamino-3,3′-dimethyldiphenylmethane (DADMDPM), PI(BPA/DADMDPM) is doped with Michler′s ketone (MK) and benzophenone (BP), respectively, and is subjected to UV light (400 ± 50 nm) irradiation and solvent development. The principle of positive feature formation is based on the photocoupling of MK with PI, which increases PI solubility and thus enables a positive pattern to be developed. The phenomenon of negative photopatterning results from intermacromolecular H-bonding between the carbonyl group of the imide ring and the hydroxy group which is formed in the photoinduced coupling reaction between BP and PI. Lithographic evaluation shows that the MK-doped positive-acting PI film cannot form useful patterns because UV wavelengths are strongly absorbed by MK, which limits the depth of photocoupling in the film. On the other hand, 2-μm-wide lines can be resolved in the BP-doped negative-acting 0.6-μm-thick PI film.

Die DSC-Analysen lassen vermuten, daß die zwei Polymerkomponenten nicht wechselwirken. Bei der Extraktion des PA6-Anteils der Blends mit Ameisensäure zeigt die Charakterisierung des PEHZ12-Extraktionsrückstands aber, daß zumindest bei bestimmten Zusammensetzungen Wechselwirkungen zwischen den Komponenten auftreten. Modellreaktionen erlauben die Annahme, daß die PEHZ12-Polymerisation zwischen den Amino-Endgruppen des PA6 und den wachsenden PEHZ12-Polymerketten abläuft.
    Notes: Poly(etheraroylhydrazide) is synthesized in the presence of PA6 by means of low-temperature condensation polymerization of 4,4′-dichloroformyl-α,ω-diphenoxydodecane with terephthaloyl dihydrazide (TDH) in order to prepare polyhydrazide/poly-amide 6 (PEHZ12/PA6) blends. The thermal analysis of the blends by DSC seems to indicate that the two polymers are not interacting. Nevertheless, when the blends are subjected to an extraction process with formic acid in order to remove the PA6, the characterization of the residual PEHZ12 reveales that some interactions do occur between the constituent polymers, at least for selected compositions. Model experiments permit to hypothesize that the polymerization of PEHZ12 proceeds with a chemical interaction between amino end groups of PA6 and growing PEHZ12 chains.

    Description / Table of Contents: The crystallization behavior of PBT as well as PC is changed in the controlled-processed blend due to intermolecular interactions between the different macromolecules in molten state.If the kinetics of the crystallization process prevents a crystallization-induced separation, the partial miscibility of the amorphous phases, measured by the glass transition temperatures, will lead to a decrease of the crystallinity of PBT. The crystallinity, normalized to the concentration of PBT in the blend, is independent from the concentration of PC at low coolling rates.At high cooling rates, PBT is crystallizing stepwise in the blend PBT/PC 40/60 wt.-%. The crystallization temperature in the anisothermic crystallization process is increased at low contents of PC due to a changed nucleation mechanism. The half-time of crystallization is increasing in blends with an increasing PC-content in isothermic crystallization experiments.The normally amorphous PC crystallizes considerably fast in presence of PBT in PC-rich blends. The crystallization or change in the state of order of PC was measured in situ by X-ray diffraction. Calorimetric experiments confirm this result and allow a quantitative estimation of the PC-crystallinity, which amounts to some 20% in the blend PBT/PC 5/95 wt.-%.
    Notes: Das Kristallisationsverhalten sowohl von PBT als auch von PC ist im definiert verarbeiteten Blend infolge intermolekularer Wechselwirkungen zwischen den unterschiedlichen Molekülen in der Schmelze verändert.Die über die Glasübergangstemperaturen gemessene teilweise Mischbarkeit der amorphen Phasen führt bei PBT zu einer Erniedrigung des Kristallinitätsgrades, wenn die kinetischen Bedingungen des Kristallisationsprozesses keine kristallisationsbedingte Entmischung zulassen. Der auf den PBT-Anteil normierte Kristallinitätsgrad ist bei kleinen Abkühlgeschwindigkeiten vom PC-Anteil unabhängüg.In der Mischung PBT/PC 40/60 Gew.-% kommt es bei hohen Kühlraten zu einer fraktionierten Kristallisation. Die Kristallisationstemperatur bei anisothermer Kristallisation ist bei geringen PC-Gehalten durch Änderung des Keimbildungsmechanismus erhöht. Bei isothermer Kristallisation steigt mit zunehmendem PC-Anteil die Kristallisationshalbwertszeit des PBT an.Das normalerweise amorphe PC kann in Gegenwart von PBT in den PC-reichen Mischungen besonders schnell kristallisieren, wobei der Kristallisations- bzw. Ordnungsprozeß des PC in situ mittels der Röntgenbeugung gemessen wurde. Kalorimetrische Untersuchungen bestätigen dieses Ergebnis und erlauben eine quantitative Abschätzung des PC-Kristallinitätsgrades zu ca. 20% im Blend PBT/PC 5/95 Gew.-%.

    Description / Table of Contents: Elementaranalytische sowie NMR-, IR- und UV-spektroskopische Untersuchungen zeigen, daß die Photolyse von Halogenphenolnovolaken zur Substitution der Halogenatome durch Wasserstoff, der Bildung chinoider Gruppen und intermolekularen Vernetzung führt. Die Geschwindigkeit der Halogeneliminierung hängt von der Art des Halogens ab. Sie steigt in der Reihenfolge F 〈 Cl 〈 Br 〈 I. Die Chloreliminierung aus der 4-Position ist gegenüber der aus der 2- und 3-Position begünstigt. Außerdem verläuft die Abspaltung para-ständiger Chloratome aus Dimeren schneller als aus Trioder Tetrameren. ESR-Messungen bei 77 K sowie die Laserblitzphotolyse bei 296 K deuten auf die intermediäre Bildung von Phenoxyl- und Arylradikalen. Lithographische Tests belegen die hohe UV-Empfindlichkeit von Resisten auf der Basis von Halogenphenolnovolaken. Im Vergleich zu nichthalogenhaltigen Novolakresisten wird eine 6 - 10fache (System: 4-Chlorphenolnovolak/4,4′-Bisazidobiphenyl (5%)) bzw. eine ca. 25fache (System: 4-Chlorphenol-/m-Cresolnovolak/Hexamethoxymethylmelamin (5%)) Steigerung der Empfindlichkeit erreicht. Zur Interpretation wird ein Mechanismus postuliert, demzufolge die durch Halogenabspaltung hervorgerufene Sekundärradikalbildung zu einer zusätzlichen Vernetzung beiträgt. In den melaminhaltigen Resisten katalysiert der gebildete Halogenwasserstoff (Hal· + RH → H-Hal + R·) außerdem die Reaktion der Melaminverbindung mit der Novolakmatrix.
    Notes: The photolysis of halogenophenol novolacs is determined by the substitution of halogens by hydrogen and the formation of quinoid groups and intermolecular crosslinks. This is concluded from elemental analysis, NMR, IR and optical absorption measurements. The rate of halogen release depends on the chemical nature of the halogen. It increases in the order F 〈 Cl 〈 Br 〈 I. Chlorine elimination from 4-position is favored over that from 2- and 3-position. Moreover, dimers release chlorine from 4-position much more readily than trimers and tetramers. ESR measurements at 77 K and flash photolysis studies at 296 K yielded evidence for the intermediate existence of phenoxyl and aryl radicals. Lithographic tests demonstrated the high UV-sensitivity of resist formulations based on halogen-containing novolacs. The increase in sensitivity relative to that of formulations based on nonhalogenated novolacs is 6 to 10fold system: 4-chlorophenol novolac/4,4′-bisazidobiphenyl (5%) and ca. 25fold system: 4-chlorophenol/m-cresol novolac/hexamethoxymethylmelamine (5%). A postulated reactions mechanism concerning the sensitivity increase takes into account that halogen elimination results in the formation of additional radicals that accelerate the rate of crosslinking. Moreover, hydrogen halide generated by hydrogen abstraction of halogen radicals (Hal· + RH → H-Hal + R·) provides for the acid required to catalyze the reaction of the melamine compound with the novolac matrix.

Kristallisationspeaktemperatur (Tmax), Kristallisationsverlauf usw., wurde mittels Differentialkalorimetrie untersucht. Der Wert von Tmax häangt von der Größe der Gesamtoberfläache der CaCO3-Teilchen ab; Tmax ist bei nadelfäormigen Teilchen gräoßer als bei kubischen oder sphäarischen und hauangt in allen Fäallen der nicht-isothermen Kristallisation von der Abkäuhlgeschwindigkeit und der vorher erreichten maximalen Temperatur ab.
    Notes: Calcium carbonate of various particle shape (spheric, cubic, needle-shaped type) and polypropylene (PP) were mixed on a two roll mill and the mixture was pressed into plates. The effect of particle shape on the crystallization behavior of PP/CaCO3 composites, such as crystallization peak temperature (TMAX), crystallized pattern, etc., was investigated with differential scanning calorimetry measurements. The value of TMAX is explained by the total surface area of added CaCO3 particles; TMAX of needle-shaped series is larger than that of cubic or spheric ones. TMAX of various shaped CaCO3-filled PP totally depends on the cooling rate and maximum temperature in the non-isothermal crystallization, respectively.

    Notes: Water-soluble cationic polymers were obtained by polyaddition of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) diglycidylethers (M̄n of PEG were 396, 587, 1437 and 3554, resp.) with asymmetrical diamines such as N,N-dimethyl-1,3-diaminopropane and N,N-diethyl-1,3-diaminopropane. The cationic polymer properties depend on the PEG initial molecular weight and on the diamine reactivity too. PEG with M̄n = 396 had the best behaviour in these reactions. The polyelectrolyte feature of cationic polymers was emphasized both in dilute aqueous solutions and in 2M aqueous NaCl solutions. The polyelectrolyte behaviour in 2M aqueous NaCl solution is determined by the PEG chain presence.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Scherviskositäat fläussigkristalliner Ethylcellulose, die mit Cellulosepulver unterschiedlicher Partikelgräoße gefäullt war, wurde bei konstantem Schergefäalle mit einem Kegel-Platte-Viskosimeter bestimmt. Der Einfluß des Cellulosepulvergehalts, des Läange/Breite-Verhäaltnisses der Pulverteilchen und der Temperatur auf das viskose Verhalten und die Phasenäubergäange wird diskutiert. Der Zusatz von Cellulosepulver erhäoht die Viskositäat und verringert die Aktivierungsenergie des Fließens(Ea), ohne jedoch die Phasenäubergäange zu beeinflussen. Die Viskositäat und die Aktivierungsenergie sind abhäangig vom Läange/Breite-Verhäaltnis der Pulverteilchen; mit zunehmender Gräoße dieses Verhäaltnisses wird die Viskositäatszunahme beschleunigt und die Aktivierungsenergie des Fließens erhäoht, wäahrend die Aktivierungsenergie mit steigendem Pulvergehalt abnimmt. Die Phasenumwandlungen sind unabhäangig von der Partikelform. Der Einfluß des Pulvergehalts auf Viskositäat und Aktivierungsenergie ist abhäangig von der Art der fläussigen Phase; in der anisotropen Phase ist der Einfluß geringer als in der isotropen Phase. Dies scheint von der Ausrichtung der Pulverteilchen und der stäabchenfäormigen Molekäule herzuräuhren.
    Notes: Steady-state shear viscosity for the liquid crystalline ethyl cellulose solution filled with cellulose powders was determined using a cone-plate-type viscometer and the effects of cellulose powder content, powder aspect ratio and temperature on the viscometric behavior and phase transformation were discussed. The addition of powder increased the viscosity and decreased the activation energy (Ea) for flow, but did not affect the phase transformation. The viscosity and Ea depended on the aspect ratio; with greater aspect ratio, the viscosity enhancement was accelerated and Ea as well as the decrease in Ea with powder content increased. The phase transformation did not depend on the aspect ratio, the dependences of viscosity and of Ea on powder content depended on the solution phase; the dependences for the anisotropic phase were smaller than those for the isotropic one. The findings appeared to originate from the alignments of powders and rod-like molecules.

    Notes: The UV-degradation of an unstabilized and two HALS stabilized polyethylene (PE) films is described. The degradations are characterized by measuring the oxygen uptake, the formation of CO and CO2, the FT-IR spectra, the mechanical properties, the stabilizer concentration and the oxygen content of the film.The oxygen uptake of the unstabilized PE film led to the expected changes in the IR spectra and embrittlement of the film, while the oxygen uptake by the HALS stabilized films caused only minor changes. The differences between the results for the unstabilized and the HALS stabilized polymers are explained assuming that the initiation of the photodegradation of PE is due to charge transfer complexes.

    Notes: Irradiations (λ≥300 nm) of poly(butyleneterphtalate) films were carried out in both vacum and air. Photoproducts were investigated by FTIR spectroscopy, chemical derivatization reactions and physical treatments. The repartition of photoproducts in the polymer was shown to be heterogeneous. A scheme accounting for the main routes of PBT photolysis was found on the basis of photoproducts identification. Most of oxidation products were analogous to vacum photolysis species; the mechanism of photooxidation proposed implied both pure photolytical processes and a photo-induced oxidation route.

    Notes: The effect of polymer density, processing conditions (quenching of annealing), degree of crystallinity, size of crystallite and mobility of polymer chains on the photo-and radiation-induced degradation and the polymer stability have been studied by UV, FTIR spectroscopic, viscosity and mechanical property measurements. Four kinds of annealed or quenched polyethylene (PE) films varying densities were used to the studies. Polystyrene (PSt) films were used to investigate the effect of chain mobility on polymer degradation. The following results were obtained. 1.In linear low density (LLD) PE, greater amounts of crosslinking (irradiated in vacuum) and chain scission (irradiated in air) were noticed than in mediun density (MD) PE and high density (HD) PE samples.2.Polyene formation is favored in the case of the irradiation in vacuum for LLDPE.3.Polymer stability evaluated by mechanical property such as elongation at break (%) is superior in LLDPE to MDPE and HDPE for annealed and quenched samples.4.Segmental motion of polymer chain also affects the polymer stability

    Description / Table of Contents: The study is on two component blends of high density polyethylenes, having normal and ultra-high molecular weight. The polyethylenes were homogenized by two routes: in powder state or by rolling in melt, then pressed at temperatures in the range from 140°C to 220°C. Comparative studies showed that the way of homogenizing of the components does practically not affect the main mechanical properties of the blends when pressed at temperatures ≥ 160°C. Of special interest are the characteristics of those systems where ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is the matrix component.

Von besonderem Interesse sind die Eigenschaften der Systeme, in welchen das ultrahochmolekulare Polyethylen die Rolle der Matrixkomponente spielt.

Veränderte Peakflächen und Molmassenmittelwerte der Einzelpeaks zeigen, daß die Polymerisation über mehrere Arten aktiver Zentren verläuft.

O(C2H5)2 and Al(C2H5)3, (2) Ni(OOC8H15)2 and Al(C2H5)3 named in-situ-catalyst.The molar mass distributions (MMD) of the polybutadienes are investigated by means of size exclusion chromatography (SEC). The MMD's were fitted by a sum of Schulz-Flory-Functions (SFF). Changed catalyst formation and polymerization conditions influenced the parameters of the SFF. Changed areas and changed molar mass averages indicate a polymerization with more than one peak maximum and kind of active species and lead to a better understanding of the polymerization.

    Description / Table of Contents: Durch Umsetzung von Chromacrylat mit Bisphenol A und einem Überschuß Epichlorhydrin wurden neuartige Epoxid-Harze hergestellt. Epoxy-Äquivalentgewicht, Gehalt an Hydroxygruppen und hydrolysierbarem Chlor sowie die Viskosität wurden bestimmt, und die Harze wurden mittels IR- und 1H-NMR-Spektroskopie charakterisiert. Die thermischen Eigenschaften der bei 30°C für 24 h mit Ciba Geigy HY 850 (aliphatisches Amin) gehärteten Harze wurden gemessen. Die Harze besitzen eine gute thermische und chemische Stabilität und eine gute elektrische Leitfähigkeit. Die Reaktion verläuft nach erster Ordnung; die Aktivierungsenergie beträgt 47 kJ mol-1 bzw. 34 kJ mol-1 mit bzw. ohne Chromacrylat. Aus spektroskopischen Untersuchungen wird geschlossen, daß das Chrom mit Bisphenol A einen Komplex bildet, der die Epoxidierung beschleunigt.
    Notes: Novel epoxy resins containing chromium acrylate have been synthesized by reacting chromium acrylate with bisphenol-A and excess epichlorohydrin. The quantities such as epoxy equivalent weight, hydroxy content, hydrolyzable chlorine content and viscosity have been determined. The resins have been characterized by IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The cured resins were evaluated for thermal properties. The curing of resins was carried out with Ciba Geigy HY 850 (aliphatic amine adduct) at 30°C for 24 h. The cured resins have excellent thermal and chemical resistance, in addition to an excellent electrical conductivity. The reaction follows first order kinetics with an activation energy of 47 kJ mol-1 and 34 kJ mol-1 in the presence and absence of chromium acrylate, respectively. The chromium forms a complex with bisphenol-A, as indicated by spectroscopic studies, which increases epoxidation.

Mit steigendem Polystyrolgehalt erhöhen sich auch Dichte, Shore-A-Härte und Zugfestigkeit, während die Reißdehnung abnimmt. Die Untersuchungen der Vernetzungsdichte lassen eine Phasenumkehr vermuten.
    Notes: Interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) of polyurethane based on hydroxyterminated natural rubber with varying NCO/OH ratios and polystyrene were synthesized under different experimental conditions. These IPNs were found to make tough films. The IPNs were characterized by their physical, mechanical and morphological properties like density, Shore-A hardness, crosslink density, tensile strength and elongation at break. The IPNs exhibited an increasing trend in density, Shore-A hardness and tensile strength with increasing polystyrene content, while elongation at break decreased with similar variation in polystyrene content. The crosslink density measurements indicated a possible phase inversion process.

Enzym-Membranen wurden aus PVAL-Diazoharz- und PVAL-Photoinitiator-Systemen durch Vernetzung mit UV-Licht hergestellt. Mit diesen immobilisierten Glucose-Oxidase-Membranen wurde eine wirkungsvolle Enzymelektrode entwickelt, deren Eigenschaften untersucht wurden. Der Einfluß der Photoinitiatorkonzentration in Poly(vinylalkohol) und der UV-Bestrahlungsdauer auf den Grad der Unlöslichkeit sowie die Aktivitätsausbeute der Membran wurden mit Glucose als Substrat untersucht. Temperatur- und pH-Abhängigkeit der relativen Aktivität, Stabilität bei mehrmaligem Gebrauch, Lagerstabilität und Kalibrierungsdiagramme der Enzym-Membranen wurden ermittelt. Eine beim Erstgebrauch auftretende Instabilitätserscheinung der Membranen wurde ebenfalls untersucht.
    Notes: A study of the immobilization of glucose oxidase on a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVAL) membrane in the presence of UV sensitizers was carried out. Enzyme membranes were prepared from PVAL-diazoresin and PVAL-sensitizer systems, crosslinked by means of UV irradiation. An effective enzyme electrode was developed by using the immobilized glucose oxidase membrane, and its characteristics were investigated. The effects of the concentration of sensitizers in poly(vinyl alcohol) and UV irradiation time on the degree of insolubility as well as the activity yield of the membrane were examined for the immobilized glucose oxidase using glucose as a substrate. Temperature and pH dependences of the relative activity, stability in repeated use, storage stability and calibration plots of the enzyme membranes were evaluated. The unstability phenomenon, found in the initial use of the immobilized glucose oxidase membrane, which was prepared from PVAL-sensitizer system, was also investigated.

    Description / Table of Contents: Biopol, Biocellat and Mater-Bi, three biologically decomposable plastics have been tested for their use in medical industries. Biopol did not loose its stress and stiffness under sterilisation, and was also resistant against temperature and alcohol. Mater-Bi and Biocellat, the two other materials, did not satisfy the test applications. Water vapor sterilisation, temperature up to 60°C, at higher temperatures this material will embrittle.
    Notes: Für den Einsatz biologisch abbaubarer Kunststoffe in der pharmazeutischen Industrie und Medizintechnik wurden Produkte verschiedener Hersteller, wie Biopol, Biocellat und Mater-Bi untersucht. Dabei zeigte vor allem Biopol das notwendige Anforderungsprofil, d.h. die Anwendbarkeit aller Sterilisationsverfahren ohne Festigkeitsbzw. Steifigkeitsverluste sowie Temperatur- und Alkoholbeständigkeit. Dagegen wiesen die Werkstoffe Mater-Bi und Biocellat einige Schwachstellen auf. Bei Mater-Bi lagen diese bei der Wasserdampfsterilisation sowie bei der geringen thermischen und Medienbeständigkeit. Biocellat versprödet dagegen durch die erhöhte Temperatur bei der Dampfsterilisation, d.h. daß ein Einsatz über 60°C nicht möglich wäre.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Alkylierung von Poly(5-vinyltetrazol) mit Dimethylsulfat und tert-Butylalkohol sowie Alkylhalogeniden RHal (R=CH3, C2H5, CH2—CH=CH2, n-C4H9 und t-C4H9) und die Kinetik dieser Reaktion wurden untersucht, um eine neue Herstellungsmethode für tetrazolhaltige Polymere mit wertvollen Eigenschaften zu entwickeln. Die vergleichenden Untersuchungen über die isomere Zusammensetzung und die spektroskopischen Daten von Poly(N-alkyl-5-vinyltetrazol)en, die durch die Alkylierung von Poly(5-vinyltetrazol) sowie durch die Copolymerisation der entsprechenden Monomeren hergestellt wurden, wurden mit IR-, 1H-NMR- und 13C-NMR-Spektroskopie durchgeführt. Der Alkylierungsumsatz beträgt bis zu 99,8%; dadurch können polymere Produkte erhalten werden, deren Zusammensetzung, Struktur und Eigenschaften denen der Homo- und Copolymeren sehr ähnlich sind.
    Notes: Alkylation of poly(5-vinyl tetrazole) with dimethyl sulfate and tert-butyl alcohol as well as with alkyl halides RHal (R=CH3, C2H5, CH2—CH=CH2, n-C4H9, t-C4H9) has been studied under various conditions in order to develop a new method of synthesis of tetrazole-containing polymers having a complex of valuable properties. The kinetic study of the process and comparison of isomeric compositions and spectroscopic characteristics (IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR) of poly(N-alkyl-5-vinyl tetrazole)s synthesized by alkylation of poly(5-vinyl tetrazole) and of those prepared by (co)polymerization of the corresponding vinyl tetrazoles have been carried out. The alkylation is found to proceed to high conversion extents (up to 99.8%) and enables to obtain a wide variety of polymeric products having the composition, structure and properties very similar to those of homo- and copolymers.

    Description / Table of Contents: Farbstoffe mit nichtlinearen optischen Eigenschaften wurden in einer zweistufigen Synthese aus 2-Hydroxyethylmethacrylat (HEMA), 4-Carboxybenzaldehyd und verschiedenen Anilinderivaten hergestellt. Die Farbstoffe (aromatische Iminester von HEMA) wurden mit Styrol copolymerisiert, die erhaltenen Copolymere wurden mit DSC sowie IR-, 1H NMR- und UV-VIS-Spektroskopie charakterisiert, und ihre nichtlinearen Eigenschaften wurden untersucht. Es zeigte sich, daß die nichtlinearen Koeffizienten d31 und d33 vom Farbstoffgehalt der Copolymeren und der Art der elektronenspendenden Gruppen abhängig sind.
    Notes: Dyes for nonlinear optics have been synthesized in two steps from 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), 4-carboxybenzaldehyde and various substituted anilines. The obtained dyes (aromatic imine esters of HEMA) have been copolymerized with styrene, the copolymers characterized by DSC as well as IR, 1H NMR and UV-VIS spectroscopy, and studied for their nonlinear properties. The d31 and d33 nonlinear coefficients proved to be dependent on the dye content of the copolymers and on the nature of electrondonating groups.

    Description / Table of Contents: Der Einfluß von Ca2+-bzw. Al3+-Ionen auf das Viskositätsverhalten (Salzverträglichkeit) wäßriger Lösungen von Natriumcarboxymethylcellulose (CMC) sowohl mit unterschiedlichem Polymerisationsgrad (DP) als auch mit unterschiedlichem Substitutionsgrad (DS) und verschiedenartiger Substitutentenverteilung wurde untersucht. Aus Viskositätsmessungen mit einem Rotationsviskosimeter bei einer Scherrate von 500 s-1 geht hervor, daß die relative Abnahme der Viskosität im Ergebnis des Zusatzes der mehrwertigen Metallkationen unabhängig vom DP (im Bereich von 160 bis 900) der CMC ist. Homogen hergestellte CMC-Proben 2 mit einem größeren Gehalt an 2,3,6-Tri-O-carboxymethylglucose-Einheiten in der Polymerkette weisen im Vergleich zu heterogen hergestellten CMCs 1 bei gleichem Gesamt-DS eine höhere Salzverträglichkeit auf.
    Notes: The influence of Ca2+-and Al3+-ions, respectively, upon the viscosity behaviour (so-called salt tolerance) of aqueous solutions of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with different degree of polymerization (DP) and, on the other hand, with both different degree of substitution (DS) and distribution of substituents, was investigated. Viscosimetry by means of a rotational rheometer at a shear rate of 500 s-1 shows that the relative drop in viscosity as a result of addition of the multivalent metal cations is independent of DP (ranging from 160 to 900) of the CMC samples. Homogeneously synthesized CMCs (2) with a higher content of 2,3,6-tri-O-carboxymethyl glucose units in the polymer chain possess a significantly higher salt tolerance than those (1) prepared under heterogeneous reaction conditions at comparable total DS values.

    Description / Table of Contents: Melamin-Formaldehyd-Harz-Formmassen (MF) wurden durch mechanisches Mischen mit Ethylen-Vinylacetat-Copolymeren (EVA) und teilverseiftem EVA modifiziert, wobei Etherbindungen zwischen dem hydrolysierten EVA und dem MF-Harz nachgewiesen werden konnten, die die mechanischen Eigenschaften von spritzgepreßten Formteilen im Vergleich zur Modifizierung mit EVA verbessern. Der Zusatz solcher Modifikatoren erhöht die Duktilität und verringert im Falle von EVA die Nachschwindung der überaus steifen MF-Matrix, solange der Modifikatoranteil gering bleibt. Dagegen werden die Steifigkeit und die Wärmeformbeständigkeit verschlechtert. Die durch solche unvernetzten Polymeren erreichbare Steigerung der Schlagzähigkeit bleibt allerdings unzureichend.
    Notes: Melamine-formaldehyde moulding compounds (MF) were modified by mechanical mixing with ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymers (EVA) and with partially hydrolysed EVA. Ether linkages between the hydrolysed material and the MF resin improve the mechanical properties of the transfer moulded parts containing the hydrolysed material compared to those made with EVA. The use of both modifying polymers improves the ductility and, in case of the partially hydrolysed material, the postshrinkage of the extremely rigid MF matrix, as long as the modification polymer content is kept low. On the contrary, Young's modulus and the heat deflection temperature are deteriorated. The improvement in impact strength by use of those uncrosslinked polymers is still insufficient.

Nylon 6,6-Salz/∊-Caprolacton hergestellt. Die thermischen Eigenschaften der synthetisierten Polymeren (Glasübergangs-, Schmelz-, und Zersetzungstemperaturen, Schmelzenthalpien) wurden durch DSC- und TGA-Messungen bestimmt und in Bezug auf das Comonomerverhältnis in der Ausgangsmischung diskutiert. Die Übereinstimmung der Copolymerzusammensetzung mit dem Ausgangscomonomerverhältnis wurde mit FT-IR- und NMR-Spektroskopie untersucht. Die Bioabbaubarkeit der Copolyesteramide wurde durch enzymatische Hydrolyse geprüft.
    Notes: A series of copolyesteramides based on adipic acid/1,6-hexane diamine/∊-caprolactone and Nylon 6,6 salt/∊-caprolactone were synthesized. Their molecular weights, determined by gel permeation chromatography and NMR spectroscopy, were found to lie within the range from 1000 up to 7000. Their thermal properties (glass transitions, melting points and heats of melting, and decomposition temperatures) were recorded with diferential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry, respectively, and correlated to the comonomer feed composition. The FT-IR and NMR spectra were also recorded in order to confirm the composition of the copolyesteramides and to compare them with that of the comonomer feed. The biodegradability of the synthesized copolymers was tested by enzymatic hydrolysis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Durch sulfonsäurekatalysierte Umsetzung von Abietinsäure und Paraformaldehyd bei hohen Temperaturen wurden neuartige Kondensationsprodukte erhalten. Als Nebenprodukte der Polykondensation werden eine Ketoverbindung sowie Wasser und Kohlendioxid gebildet. Die Carboxygruppen der Abietinsäure sind an der Kondensationsreaktion beteiligt. In Abwesenheit von Paraformaldehyd wurde das Abietinsäure/Sulfonsäurekatalysator-System untersucht, um zusätzliche Informationen über die Reaktion zu erhalten. Der Reaktionsverlauf hängt von der Temperatur und der chemischen Struktur des Katalysators ab. Ein möglicher Reaktionsmechanismus der Kondensation wird diskutiert.
    Notes: New condensation products have been synthesized by heating abietic acid and formaldehyde at high temperatures in the presence of sulfonic-type acid catalysts. The main polycondensation reaction is associated with a secondary one which leads to a ketonic compound, carbon dioxide and water. The carboxylic groups of abietic acid participate in this condensation reaction. The behaviour of the abietic acid-sulfonic acid catalyst system was studied in absence of formaldehyde to acquire additional information about the reaction. The process is defined by the reaction temperature and chemical nature of the catalyst. A possible mechanism of the condensation reaction is discussed on the basis of the obtained results.

    Notes: Alkanes with highly substituted carbon-carbon bonds can be cleaved in free radicals by homolytic dissociation under the influence of thermal energy. The energy of dissociation is mainly determined by the type and size of the respective substituents. For tetraarylbutane dinitriles the temperatures of decomposition are in the range of other technically used initiators. But nevertheless, these compounds are up to now rather seldom used to initiate free radical polymerizations. This is connected with the special mechanism of initiation: the formed highly substituted alkyl radicals are relatively stable and show only a rather low reactivity against the usually used monomers. Therefore, in the beginning of the polymerization the radical concentration is rather high which leads not only to addition to monomers but also to a pronounced primary radical termination. In some cases this termination process is reversible which results in an unusual polymerization kinetics. Depending on the type of monomer and the degree of reversibility of the primary radical termination, either a period of “dead-end” polymerization follows or the cleavage of the oligomers at the chain end results in a re-initiation process with a “normal” polymerization with increased rate. The reaction mechanism, kinetics and some possible applications of such initiating alkanes are reported.
