A new method of mounting stripper foils
Résumé. 2014 Une méthode est proposée pour le montage des feuilles d’épluchage de charge utilisant une grille de tungstène à haute transmission. Cela permet de subdiviser la feuille en un grand nombre de feuilles indépendantes, le mauvais fonctionnement de l’une d’elles n’affecte pas les autres. Il est donc possible d’utiliser une grande feuille que l’on déplace dans le faisceau afin de prolonger sa durée d’utili- sation. Des résultats sont décrits ainsi qu’un mécanisme prototype pour l’exploitation de ce concept. Abstract. 2014 A method of mounting stripper foils is proposed using a high transmission tungsten grid. This enables the foil to be subdivided into a large number of independent foils, failure of any one of which does not effect the rest. It is thus possible to use a large foil moved across the beam to obtain a very long life. The results are shown and a prototype mechanism to exploit this concept is described.
USE OF CARBON FOILS FOR HEAVY-ION STRIPPERS.
Abstract The lifetime of carbon foils when bombarded by high-density heavy-ion beams is increased if the foil is kept at a high temperature.
The denial of death and the out-of-the-body experience
The out-of-the-body experience is a phenomenon which continues to be reported and continues to be interpreted in many ways. It seems, however, that more attention is given to finding a spiritual base for this occurrence than a psychological understanding of it. This paper considers the psychological forces of denial as a suitable explanation for the OBE and suggests that these experiences may be understood as hallucinations caused by traumatic events rather than genuine previews of the afterlife. That is: “Do these people transcend their bodies and also time and space to acquire these experiences, or could it be that nothing has been transcended at all save the need to deny death and thus transcend its feared consequence, which is ‘not being’?”
