Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - This book presents a mathematical analysis of the long-term stability of particle orbits in various contexts, such as in accelerators and in particle storage rings. The authors, Edwin M McMillan, Jurgen Moser, and L. Jackson Laslett, use symplectic and other techniques to analyze the motion of particles and to derive conditions for stability.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Delving into the intriguing topic of particle orbit stability in particle accelerators, this book explores the complex dynamics of particle motion within these powerful machines. The author, a renowned expert in accelerator design, presents a comprehensive analysis of both theoretical and computational approaches to understanding the long-term behavior of particles in accelerators, particularly focusing on those of the alternating gradient type. Through a combination of mathematical rigor and practical insights, the book sheds light on the fundamental principles governing particle stability, examining the effects of non-linearities and other factors that can influence particle trajectories. Exploring concepts rooted in classical mechanics and extending into contemporary accelerator physics, this book offers a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners seeking to optimize the performance and stability of particle accelerators.

Condition: Very Good. pp. 165-173. Original wrappers. Near Fine. First Edition. SIGNED BY EDWIN M. McMILLAN (on front wrapper). Offprint of Edwin M. McMillan's Nobel Lecture, December 12, 1951. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1951 was awarded jointly to Edwin Mattison McMillan and Glenn Theodore Seaborg "for their discoveries in the chemistry of the transuranium elements." "The heaviest element existing in nature is uranium, which has an atomic number of 92. All of the heavier elements are radioactive and quickly decay. It has become apparent, however, that they can be created by bombarding atoms with particles and atomic nuclei. In 1940 Edwin McMillan used a particle accelerator to radiate uranium with neutrons and proved that an element with an atomic number of 93 had been created. It was named neptunium. Edwin McMillan also contributed to the mapping of additional heavy elements and isotopes" (Nobel Prize website).…

First Edition. Offprint, 8vo (267 × 200mm), p. 1, printed on the recto only. Some short marginal tears and old tape stains, else very good. Signed by McMillan. This single-page note, dated February 17, 1939, from Berkeley's Radiation Laboratory, was published within weeks of Hahn and Strassmann's announcement of uranium fission and belongs to the intense, disorienting period in which laboratories around the world were racing to characterize what neutron bombardment of uranium actually produced. The field had not yet stabilized: the identities, ranges, and decay properties of the activation products were still being sorted experimentally, and the theoretical framework for understanding fission was still being assembled. This paper is significant both as a primary document of that moment and as the opening move in the line of investigation that would lead McMillan, the following year, to the discovery of neptuniumthe first transuranium element and the achievement for which he shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1951. Investigating the radioactive recoil products generated by cyclotron neutron irradiation of uranium oxide, McMillan stacks thin aluminum foils in contact with the target during bombardment and measures the distribution of induced activity across successive foils as a function of depth. The resulting absorption profile is interpreted as evidence for recoiling fission fragments with a finite range estimated at 2.2 ± 0.2 cm air-equivalent. Decay analysis resolves two principal components: a short-lived activity of approximately 25 minutes, tentatively associated with a uranium isotope produced by resonance neutron capture as identified by Hahn, Meitner, and Strassmann, and a longer-lived component of roughly two days. McMillan observes that the total recoil activity is comparable in magnitude to the residual activity remaining in the uranium sample itself, and argues that a sufficiently finely divided uranium preparation would permit physical separation of the recoiling fragments from the non-recoiling activation products; a methodological inference that points directly toward the experimental approach he would employ in isolating neptunium the following year.…
