BTW, Michel. High E Field birefringence effects on a 24 Mev Gamma Photon should degenerate it (or lower energy ones) to thermal energy photons.
IOW, 24MeV/2^24.5.= ~ 1 OTOH. 2^8005551212 power is the toll-free information number for the galaxy. Watched "The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" lately? :-) Fred http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/physics/Polarization.html Polarization: "Propagating light consists of a transverse electric and magnetic field, a single photon will oscillate on a line perpendicular to the propagation direction. If the coordinate system is not aligned with the electric field direction, it can be broken up into two perpendicular components." Pockels Effect: "An electrooptical effect in which the application of an electric field produces a birefringence which is proportional to the field." Kerr Effect: "The development of birefringence when an isotropic transparent substance in placed in an electric field." Electric Polarization P is defined as the difference between the electric fields D (induced) and E (imposed) P = D - E or P = eoXeE Electric Susceptibility Xe = K*eo/eo] - 1 = P/eoE eo = 8.8452e-12 C^2 N^-1 m^-2 or Farad m^-1 > > From: Frederick Sparber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Date: 4/19/2006 8:32:00 AM > > > Would it be better to make the - 50 KV collector > a point so that the D+ ions converge in a small area? > > A Boron-10 tip Perhaps?
