Page 350 - The Time It Takes to Wag a Tail When your pet dog sniffs a bone, instantly his tail begins to wag. But it must take some time for the northernmost canine extremity to send the news all the way south where enthusiasm can be registered! How long does it take for that delicious aroma to lead to the happy response at the other end? Chemists are now asking the questions much like this about their pet molecules! If one end of a molecule is excited, how long does it take for the other end to share in the...

Page 34 - Each of these laboratories provides world unique capabilities and is operated as a national facility available to qualified experimenters from around the world on the basis of the scientific merit of their proposals.
Page 33 - There is increasing anticipation that the unification of the strong nuclear and the electroweak forces into one "grand unified" framework may be possible, thus reducing the apparent number of forces in nature to two. The ultimate goal is a "super-grand" unification that would bring all of the forces in nature into a single unified framework.

NUCLEAR PHYSICS Nuclear processes determine the characteristics of our universe. Thus, an understanding of nuclei and nuclear phenomena is essential to any basic understanding of the world around us. What...
Page 48 - However, scientists have not been able to isolate quarks outside the nucleus. It is as if quarks were tied together by elastic strings that cannot be broken. This confining mechanism forms the basis of the newest theory of the strong nuclear force, called quantum chromodynamics (QCD).
Page 54 - CEBAF will be an accelerator with electron beams in the energy range of 0.5 to 4.0 GeV.
Page 89 - ... Operating Expenses and $11.5 million Is for Construction. The request for Operating Expenses is necessary to continue to characterize and investigate current waste handling and environmental control systems, leading to upgrades of these systems, and to continue remedial investigations and feasibility studies on previously contaminated sites. The Construction request will provide for continuation of a high priority project to upgrade a portion of the liquid low-level waste collection and transfer...

One recent research accomplishment concerns a small plant, Arabidoosis. that is having a profound effect on plant science research since recent DOE-supported research showed how easily mutations in the plant could be induced, recognized and employed for studying many different plant processes. As a result, Arabidoosis is now the most commonly used plant...
