Research ArticleOpen accessLow Cost Long Distance Detector for Explosives and Chemical Analysis by IEC ApplicationGeorge H. Miley, Heinrich Hora, Frederick Osman et al.A radiation source for detecting specific chemicals at several meter distances even behind walls, car doors or other barriers is the application of Million electron Volts (MeV) neutrons from nuclear fusion reactions at such low intensities to avoid any danger for human bodies. The chemical analysis consists in the neutron activation of nuclei emitting then gamma radiation of lines very … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 6,513 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEffects of Higher Order Dispersion Terms in the Nonlinear Schrodinger EquationRobert Beech, Frederick OsmanThis study presents a concise graphical analysis of solitonic solutions to a nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE). A sequence of code using the standard NDSolve function has been developed in Mathematica to investigate the acceptable accuracy of the NLSE in relatively small ranges of the dispersive parameter space. An operator splitting approach was used in the numerical solutions to expand the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,491 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessLaser Interaction and Related Plasma PhenomenaFrederick Osman, Peter Evans, Peter Toups et al.Computations are to be performed using the laser driven inertial fusion energy option based on volume ignition with the natural adiabatic self-similarity compression and expansion hydrodynamics [1]. The numerical work includes the establishing of a multi-branch reaction code to be used for simultaneous fusion reactions of D-D, D-T D-He3 and mutual nuclear reaction products. This will permit the studies of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 6,816 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAn Investigation of the Nature Properties of PlasmaPeter Evans, Frederick Osman, Heinrich HoraThis study presents the characteristics of the plasma and the effect of the laser beam to best suit the plasma model behavior. Special attention is paid to the “Genuine” Two Fluid Model and the ponder-motive and transient forces. These models are translated into a numerical study of the parameters, such as the electric field density and temperature distributions once electromagnetic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2004 · 6,566 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessProgramming of the Generalized Nonlinear Paraxial Equation for the Formation of Solitons with MathematicaFrederick Osman, Robert BeechThis study presents the nonlinearity and dispersion effects involved in the propagation of optical solitons which can be understood by using a numerical routine to solve the Generalized Nonlinear Paraxial equation. A sequence of code has been developed in Mathematica, to explore in depth several features of the optical soliton’s formation and propagation. These numerical routines were implemented through the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 6,784 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessSuppression of Instabilities and Stochastic Pulsation at Laser-Plasma Interaction by Beam SmoothingFrederick Osman, Heinrich HoraThe key problem of direct drive laser fusion is the appearance of parametric instabilities, stochastic pulsation, self-focusing (filamentation) and other anomalies. During the long years studies, the empirical and intuitively developed methods for smoothing of the laser beam were rather successful but a transparent understanding of the physics has still to be found. The first theory how the instabilities are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 6,796 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessStandard Abundance Distribution of Elements in the Universe and Magic Numbers with Boltzmann ProbabilityFrederick Osman, Heinrich HoraThe decay of the standard abundance distribution of elements in the Universe for heavy elements has well-know maxima near magic numbers of the nuclear shell model and deep minima in between. Combining the maxima as a generation probability N (Z) on the proton number Z of the nuclides, a Boltzmann probability shows decay N (Z) = N’ exp (-Z/Z’). The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2004 · 7,393 accessesView PDFCite
