... the medium capacity computer, the midicomputer, has proved to be a cost-effective installation for serving a small set of cooperative users who are prepared to share equipment. These machines, which may have as much as 64, 000 16-bit words of memory plus a modest amount of peripheral storage and input/output gear, can be made very flexible for use by a given community of users. 1, record 1, English, - midicomputer

Il recouvre différents modes de collision dont l'existence et/ou l'importance dépendent de la nature du milieu de propagation : milieu gazeux, liquide ou solide. Dans le cas d'un gaz, le noyau cible a une vitesse qui suit la distribution de Maxwell-Boltzmann. Dans le cas d'un thermaliseur liquide (eau, eau lourde...) et solides (graphite, béryllium...), le transfert d'énergie avec le neutron incident sont liés à la fois aux mouvements de vibration, de rotation et de translation (degrés de liberté) des molécules ou du cristal [...] 1, record 7, French, - thermaliseur

Interactions laser-plasma dans le domaine relativiste [...] le comportement relativiste des électrons du plasma peut provoquer un phénomène très appréciable, car il permet d'accroître considérablement l'éclairement au foyer du laser; il s'agit de l'autofocalisation relativiste. Ce phénomène s'accompagne également du guidage du faisceau laser dans le plasma. L'autofocalisation du laser résulte d'une modification locale de l'indice de réfraction du milieu, induite par une augmentation de la masse des électrons libres du plasma. Dans ces conditions, le plasma se comporte comme une lentille convergente additionnelle qui s'oppose à la divergence naturelle du faisceau et produit une succession de «super foyers» où l'éclairement laser est encore accru d'un ordre de grandeur. 1, record 13, French, - indice%20de%20r%C3%A9fraction%20du%20milieu
