The small momentum transfer k L o C→K S 0 C regeneration at high energies

Results of the first elastic K _S ^o regeneration experiment on carbon, using magnetic spark chamber spectrometer, are presented in the beam momentum interval 10p50 GeV/c. The d ifferentia cross section d/dt is reconstructed in the range 0·0025–t0·02 (GeV/c)² and its slopeB is found to be momentum independent with an average valueB=(65±11) (GeV/c)^–2. The results are in agreement with the calculations using the coherent production model.     

Synthesis of Tetrazino‐tetrazine 1,3,6,8‐Tetraoxide (TTTO)

This study presents the first synthesis and characterization of a new high energy compound [1,2,3,4]tetrazino[5,6‐e][1,2,3,4]tetrazine 1,3,6,8‐tetraoxide (TTTO). It was synthesized in ten steps from 2,2‐bis(tert‐butyl‐NNO‐azoxy)acetonitrile. The synthetic strategy was based on the sequential closure of two 1,2,3,4‐tetrazine 1,3‐dioxide rings by the generation of oxodiazonium ions and their intramolecular coupling with tert‐butyl‐NNO‐azoxy groups. The TTTO structure was confirmed by single‐crystal X‐ray.     

Cross sections of large-angle hadron production in proton– and pion–nucleus interactions III: tantalum nuclei and beam momenta from ±3 GeV/c to ±15 GeV/c

We report on double-differential inclusive cross sections of the production of secondary protons, charged pions, and deuterons, in the interactions with a 5% λ _abs thick stationary tantalum target, of proton and pion beams with momentum from ±3 GeV/c to ±15 GeV/c. Results are given for secondary particles with production angles 20°<θ<125°. They are of particular relevance for the optimization of the design parameters of the proton driver of a neutrino factory.     

The effect of drawbar pull on the rolling resistance of track-laying tractors

Theoretical expression for the rolling resistance of crawler tractors have been derived on the basis that a trapezoidal contact pressure distribution exists under the tracks when a tractor operates with a drawbar load. Experimental investigations carried out with a special 500 h.p. research and experimental tractor are described. These investigations show that as predicted, the rolling resistance increases with drawbar load although there is a small initial load range in which the rolling resistance actually decreases.     

Synthesis of 5-amino-6-(nitro-NNO-azoxy)-1,2,3,4-tetrazine 1,3-dioxide

Russian Chemical Bulletin - A reaction of 5-amino-6-(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)-1,2,3,4-tetrazine 1,3-dioxide with nitronium tetrafluoroborate affords 5-amino-6-(nitro-NNO-azoxy)-1,2,3,4-tetrazine...     

Commutation for Irregular Subdivision

We present a generalization of the commutation formula to irregular subdivision schemes and wavelets. We show how, in the noninterpolating case, the divided differences need to be adapted to the subdivision scheme. As an example we include the construction of an entire family of biorthogonal compactly supported irregular knot B-spline wavelets starting from Lagrangian interpolation. September 4, 1998.
