Abstract

This is a paper on experimental studies performed in the 1940s at the University of Notre Dame accelerator laboratory to investigate radiation effects on materials and also to probe the efficiency of atmospheric cooling of the fireball created by a nuclear fission device. This was a critical question to be addressed during the early phases in the development of the Manhattan project, which was again raised in the film Oppenheimer, posing the question whether “a bomb can set the atmosphere on fire.” This paper brings forth the formerly classified reaction studies performed at Notre Dame's Nuclear Science Laboratory to answer this question.
冷却大气
这篇论文介绍了 20 世纪 40 年代在圣母大学加速器实验室进行的实验研究,目的是研究辐射对材料的影响,以及探测大气层冷却核裂变装置产生的火球的效率。这是曼哈顿计划发展初期需要解决的一个关键问题,在电影《奥本海默》中再次提出了 "原子弹能否点燃大气层 "的问题。本文介绍了圣母大学核科学实验室为回答这一问题而进行的前机密反应研究。
