Page 81 - The first goal is to develop the basic knowledge necessary to identify, understand and anticipate the long-term health and environmental consequences of energy use and development.
Page 42 - Equipment request of $16.0 million would provide for particle detection systems, data acquisition and analysis systems, and instrumentation to improve the performance of Nuclear Physics accelerators. These funds are essential for the effective operation and utilization of the National accelerator facilities by the Nuclear Physics program.
Page 17 - super-grand" unification that would bring all of the forces in nature into a single unified framework. This picture of nature in terms of the electroweak and strong forces and a small set of fundamental constituents 1s known as the Standard Model.
Page 47 - Basic research Is the first link In the chain of events from scientific discovery to economic growth through technological Innovation. Results from research sponsored by the Basic Energy Sciences (BES) program become an Integral part of the Information base used In the development of the applied technologies within the Department and are equally Important within the private sector. In addition to underpinning technology development, BES-supported research activities train our future scientists and...
Page 17 - Department supports two major high energy physics accelerator centers — the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC). Each of these laboratories provides unique capabilities and is operated as a national facility available to qualified experimenters around the nation and abroad on the basis of the scientific merit of their research proposals.
Page 85 - During the past year, findings of bacteria with antibiotic resistance raise the possibility of finding other microorganisms producing novel, medically useful compounds. The FY 1989 budget request for the BER program is $249.0 million.
Page 53 - ... electrons have the highest energy. This latter observation is contrary to what had normally been anticipated for superconductors. This work was one of the first reported photoemission studies of the high-temperature superconductors and the unusual results have now been confirmed by other groups.
Page 76 - Atomics, scientists will continue to explore the ratio of plasma energy to magnetic energy, a ratio characterized as "beta." Higher magnetic fields require larger, more costly magnets. Therefore, experiments are carried out with alternate plasma shapes and operating modes predicted to increase beta. In 1987, a world record beta of 6.2 percent, compared to the previous record of 5 percent, was achieved and sustained without disruptions for several hundred milliseconds. A vigorous experimental program...
Page 28 - SLA^ that are required to keep the general plant of the laboratories (eg, buildings, roads and utilities) in good operating condition. BASIC RESEARCH USER FACILITIES--SUPERCONDUCTING SUPER COLLIDER (BRUF-SSC) As I noted earlier, experimental research in high energy physics requires the use of large particle accelerators, colliding beam devices and detectors. To extend the research frontier Into a region never before studied and where major breakthroughs in understanding are firmly anticipated, larger,...
Page 57 - These funds will ensure that BES-supported researchers will continue to have the equipment needed to initiate and continue advanced research, much of which involves experiments at extremes of temperature and pressure. Reliable, precise measurements under these conditions challenge the current state-of-the-art. Replacements and new equipment funded under this request, which are important to the continued success of the program, include such items as electron microscopes, neutron spectrometers, molecular...
