Computing a Green's function, for one-velocity neutron transport or radiative transfer in a one-dimensional slab or sphere with isotropic scattering.
Report
One of a series of studies applying invariant imbedding to new analytic and computational approaches to mathematical physics. This Memorandum shows that for a quite general class of transport processes involving particle-particle interaction, differ...
A graphic presentation of Lissajous figures produced by an IBM 7044 computer and a Stromberg-Carlson 4020 printer-plotter. Equations describing the path of a particle undergoing motion of a damped double pendulum are given. The value of the experime...

Discussion of the nature and origin of anomalous sounds and electromagnetic effects associated with the entry of bright fireballs into the atmosphere.

Results of joint photochemical-radiative equilibrium calculations for the mesosphere and upper stratosphere. Major assumptions are that only oxygen allotropes participate in the chemistry and that the radiative balance is between absorption of solar ...
A short "popular" treatment of the proposal to use balloons for carrying instruments and for other purposes on Mars. Much of the article is drawn from information published in R-421, The Physics of Balloons and Their Feasibility as Exploration Vehicl...
Translations of three Soviet papers written by Y. Malamaa, O. Avaste, H. Moldau, K. S. Schifrin. They include the formulation of equations for calculating the intensity of diffusely reflected and transmitted light; results of calculations of the spec...
A treatment of a number of topics in the physics of hypervelocity impact. Comparisons are drawn with recent good experimental data and previous penetration theories advanced by the author. Some new calculations on thin-target penetration are presente...
Jan 1, 1962
A discussion of the quasi-classical limit of many particle perturbation theory for electrons moving in the coulomb potential of the nucleus. The problem is analyzed using Green's function formu- lation of many particle physics. When corrections invol...
An extension of the theory of differential equations and linear operators, both of which have many applications to engineering and mathematical physics.
A discussion of the recovery time of ionization in the low ionosphere (60- to 100-km altitude). It is known that both the local air chemistry and the level of ambient ionization affect the lifetime of free electrons in the ionosphere. The model for t...
One of a series of studies on the linguistic analysis of scientific Russian text. Rand Memorandum RM-2655, A Glossary of Russian Physics, tabulates the separate word forms appearing in 265,417 running words of physics text. This Memorandum lists the ...
