B-Physics results from D0

Description: We report on preliminary measurements of the inclusive single muon and dimuon cross sections in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV using the D0 detector at the Fermilab collider. From these results, we extract the cross section for b-quark production for the kinematic range {vert_bar}yb{vert_bar} < 1.0 and 6 < p{sub t}{sup b} < 50 GeV/c. We also report measurements on the J/{psi} production, and correlations between muons in dimuon events.

Explosive bonding and its application in the Advanced Photon Source front-end and beamline components design

Description: Explosive bonding is a bonding method in which the controlled energy of a detonating explosive is used to create a metallurgical bonding between two or more similar or dissimilar materials. Since 1991, a number of explosive-bonding joints have been designed for high-thermal-load ultrahigh-vacuum (UHV) compatible components in the Advanced Photon Source. A series of standardized explosive bonded joint units has also been designed and tested, such as: oxygen-free copper (OFHC) to stainless-steel … more

Experimental and theoretical studies on the C15 intermetallic compounds MV{sub 2} (M = Zr, Hf and Ta): Elasticity and phase stability

Description: The phase stability of C15 HfV{sub 2} was studied by specific heat measurements. The elastic constants of C15 HfV{sub 2} were measured by the resonant ultrasound spectroscopy. Total energy and electronic structure of C15 intermetallic compounds MV{sub 2} (M = Zr, Hf and Ta) were calculated using the linear muffin tin orbital (LMTO) method. The band structures at X-point near the Fermi level were used to understand the anomalous shear moduli of the C15 HfV{sub 2} and ZrV{sub 2}. It was found tha… more

Technical evaluation of a dual-junction same-band-gap amorphous silicon photovoltaic system at NREL

Description: On December 7, 1992, a 1.8-kW{sub ac} utility-interconnect photovoltaic (PV) system using amorphous silicon modules was brought on-line at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory`s photovoltaic test site. This system was deployed to conduct an in-situ technical evaluation of the PV array (in a high voltage configuration) and system performance and reliability in a utility-interconnect application. The system is unique due to the installation of construction-grade insulation on the back of each… more

Colorado State University Program for Developing, Testing, Evaluating and Optimizing Solar Heating and Cooling Systems: Project Status Report for the Months of October and November, 1994

Description: This report describes a project to develop tools for evaluating solar heating and cooling systems. Current work on this project has been to validate the Florida Solar Energy Center`s (FSEC) models of the Solahart 302K and 302K-AS systems to prepare a rating for the Sacramento Municipal Utility District`s rebate program for solar domestic hot water heaters. A preliminary rating has been issued by FSEC and updated ratings will be released as necessary. Two of the problems that were mentioned in t… more

Accelerator modeling system for the future

Description: Many computer programs and a variety of models exist for the design of accelerator lattices and the correction of errors. Many physicists contributed to this work by developing codes to suit a variety of machines. At present, we are integrating some of these codes into a unified framework to design and control any type of machine. We will refer to this system of interactive accelerator design, control, and analysis codes as the All-In-One Modeling system (AIM). This paper will explore the utili… more

Taylor series expansion and modified extended Prony analysis for localization

Description: In the multiple source localization problem, many inverse routines use a rooting of a polynomial to determine the source locations. The authors present a rooting algorithm for locating an unknown number of three-dimensional, near-field, static sources from measurements at an arbitrarily spaced three-dimensional array. Since the sources are near-field and static, the spatial covariance matrix is always rank one, and spatial smoothing approaches are inappropriate due to the spatial diversity. The… more

Magnetic and structural properties of Fe/Pd multilayers studied by magnetic x-ray dichroism and x-ray absorption spectroscopy

Description: The results of magnetic circular x-ray dichroism (MCXD) measurements and extended x-ray absorption fine structure measurements (EXAFS) of the Fe K-edges of textured Fe(110)/Pd(111) multilayers are reported. The EXAFS results indicates that the iron in the system goes from bcc to a more densely packed system as the thickness of the iron layer is decreased. The magnetic properties were measured by SQUID magnetometry from 5-350 K. For all the samples, the saturation magnetization was significantly… more

Practical guidelines for small-volume additions of uninhibited water to waste storage tanks

Description: Allowable volumes of uninhibited water additions to waste tanks are limited to volumes in which hydroxide and nitrite inhibitors reach required concentrations by diffusion from the bulk waste within five days. This diffusion process was modeled conservatively by Fick`s second law of diffusion. The solution to the model was applied to all applicable conditions which exist in the waste tanks. Plant engineers adapted and incorporated the results into a practical working procedure for controlling a… more

Thin film ionic conductors based on cerium oxide

Description: Fluorite and perovskite structure cerium oxide based ceramics are a class of materials that may exhibit good oxygen ion and/or protonic conductivity. The authors have successfully deposited thin films of these materials on a variety of substrates. Interesting orientation relationships were noticed between cerium oxide films and strontium titanate bi-crystal substrates. Near lattice site coincidence theory has been used to study these relationships.

Ab Initio Calculations for Dissociative Hydrogen Adsorption on Lithium Oxide Surfaces

Description: Lithium ceramics are one class of materials being considered as tritium breeders for fusion technology,and hydrogen is known to enhance the release of tritium from lithium ceramic materials. Dissociative hydrogen chemisorption on the Li{sub 2}O surfaces of the (100), (110), and (111) planes has been investigated with ab initio Hartree-Fock calculations. Calculations for unrelaxed crystal Li{sub 2}O structures indicated that except for the (100) surface, the (110) and (111) surfaces are stable. … more

KERNVILLE, containment data report

Description: The KERNVILLE experiment was executed in Hole U20ar of the Nevada Test Site at 10:10 PST on February 15, 1988, on the Pahute Mesa. All early phenomena observed appeared normal, however, cavity collapse reached the ground surface producing a crater having a mean radius of about 61 m and a maximum depth of about 12 m. No radiation arrivals were detected; the KERNVILLE event containment was considered satisfactory.
