Performance of Planted Herbaceous Species in Longleaf Pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) Plantations: Overstory Effects of Competition and Needlefall

Description: Research to determine the separate effects of above-ground and below-ground competition and needlefall of over-story pines on under-story plant performance. Periodic monitoring of over-story crown closure, soil water content, temperature, and nutrients were conducted. Results indicate competition for light had a more determental effect on performance of herbaceous species in longleaf pine plantations than that resulting from competition for below-ground resources.

Vapor-Phase Garnet at Yucca Mountain, Nevada: Geochemistry and Oxygen-Isotope Thermometry

Description: About 20 vapor-phase garnets were studied in two samples of the Topopah Spring Tuff from Yucca Mountain, in southern Nevada. The Miocene-age Topopah Spring Tuff is a 350-m-thick, devitrified, moderately to densely welded ash flow that is compositionally zoned from high-silica rhyolite to quartz latite. During cooling of the tuff, escaping vapor produced lithophysae (former gas cavities) lined with an assemblage of tridymite, cristobalite, alkali feldspar, and locally, hematite and/or garnet.

Low-Power Direct-Sequence Spread-Spectrum Modem Architecture for Distributed Wireless Sensor Networks

Description: Emerging CMOS and MEMS technologies enable the implementation of a large number of wireless distributed microsensors that can be easily and rapidly deployed to form highly redundant, self-configuring, and ad hoc sensor networks. To facilitate ease of deployment, these sensors should operate on battery for extended periods of time. A particular challenge in maintaining extended battery lifetime lies in achieving communications with low power. This paper presents a direct-sequence spread-spectrum… more

A search for coupled-bunch instability in the Fermilab Main Injector

Description: In the Fermilab Main Injector (MI) we are planning to double the bunch intensity from its design value by slip stacking. The accelerator consists of 18 rf cavities which operate at a harmonic number of 588. These cavities are known to have many higher ordered resonances. Longitudinal coupled-bunch instability induced by excitation of the rf cavities may be an important issue to be addressed in the intensity upgrade. Here we have carried out some simulation studies of the longitudinal coupled bu… more

Space-charge effects on bunch rotation in the longitudinal phase space

Description: The longitudinal and transverse space-charge effects on bunch rotation in the longitudinal phase space designed to produce an intense short proton bunch are discussed. A criterion for length broadening due to space-charge modification of the rf potential is given. As for the transverse effect, the incoherent space-charge tune shifts will affect the bunch rotation unless the chromaticities are properly corrected.

Pbar acceleration in the MI - Tune-Up study using protons

Description: We discuss both simulations as well as experimental studies of a potentially beneficial acceleration scheme in the MI for pbars from the Accumulator Ring or Recycler Ring. The scheme involves accepting the pbar bunches with 2.5 MHz rf structure from either of these two synchrotrons. re-bunching using 53 MHz rf system iso-adiabatically and accelerating using 53 MHz rf system from 8 GeV to 150 GeV. Further we try to coalesce the beam using the 2.5 MHz rf system. Various stages of rf manipulation … more

HVAC BESTEST: A Procedure for Testing the Ability of Whole-Building Energy Simulation Programs to Model Space Conditioning Equipment: Preprint

Description: Validation of Building Energy Simulation Programs consists of a combination of empirical validation, analytical verification, and comparative analysis techniques (Judkoff 1988). An analytical verification and comparative diagnostic procedure was developed to test the ability of whole-building simulation programs to model the performance of unitary space-cooling equipment that is typically modeled using manufacturer design data presented as empirically derived performance maps. Field trials of t… more

Recent QCD results from D0 at the Tevatron

Description: The D0 experiment at the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider accumulated a large sample of high energy jet production data during Run I (1992-1996). Presented here are measurements of the inclusive jet cross section at a center-of-mass energy {radical}s = 1800 GeV, and a ratio of central inclusive jet cross sections at two different center-of-mass energies (1800 and 630 GeV). Also included is a measure of the ratio of multijet production cross sections at the higher {radical}s: All measurements… more

A lex-based mad parser and its applications

Description: An embeddable and portable Lex-based MAD language parser has been developed. The parser consists of a front-end which reads a MAD file and keeps beam elements, beam line data and algebraic expressions in tree-like structures, and a back-end, which processes the front-end data to generate an input file or data structures compatible with user applications. Three working programs are described, namely, a MAD to C++ converter, a dynamic C++ object factory and a MAD-MARS beam line builder. Design an… more

Real-Time Data Processing in the muon system of the D0 detector.

Description: This paper presents a real-time application of the 16-bit fixed point Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), in the Muon System of the D0 detector located at the Fermilab Tevatron, presently the world's highest-energy hadron collider. As part of the Upgrade for a run beginning in the year 2000, the system is required to process data at an input event rate of 10 KHz without incurring significant deadtime in readout. The ADSP21csp01 processor has high I/O bandwidth, single cycle instruction execution … more

Double field flip cooling channel for the neutrino factory

Description: A 220 m long ionization cooling system consisting of three solenoids with two field-flip sections, is proposed as a cooling channel for the neutrino factory. The reduction of transverse emittance is achieved using 87 liquid hydrogen absorbers (30-40 cm long), and 87 (2 m long) 200 MHz linacs. The first flip is performed at relatively small magnetic field, B = 3 T, to keep the longitudinal motion under control. The field is then increased adiabatically up to 7 T and a second field flip performed… more

High-frequency bunching and phi-delta E rotation for a muon source

Description: A scenario for capture, bunching and rf rotation of {mu}'s from a proton source is presented. It consists of a drift section, a variable frequency {approximately} 300 {r_arrow} 180 MHz bunching section, and a fixed (or variable) frequency ({approximately}180 MHz) {phi}-{delta}E rotation section. In 1-D and 3-D simulations (SIMUCOOL and ICOOL), the overall capture performance of the system is similar to that of induction linac + buncher scenarios developed for the neutrino factory. The total rf … more
