D0 Silicon Upgrade: Thermal Conductivity Measurements of a Variety of Epoxies and Greases Used for CDF/D0 Silicon Detector Ladder Construction

Description: The bulk thermal conductivity of several epoxy mixtures was measured with a setup at Lab D. Samples are prepared by using two aluminum cylinders of 3/4-inch diameter. The cylinders have holes drilled in them for insertion of temperature sensors (0.040-inch diameter thermistors), a heating element (standard resistor), and a tapped hole for heat sinking to a plate. The two cylinders are held together during gluing, and the thickness of the glue bead is controlled by using a shim of kapton tape, n… more

SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL NUMBER DENSITIES FOR MULTI-PURPOSE CANISTER CRITICALITY CALCULATIONS

Description: The purpose of this analysis is to calculate the number densities for spent nuclear fuel (SNF) to be used in criticality evaluations of the Multi-Purpose Canister (MPC) waste packages. The objective of this analysis is to provide material number density information which will be referenced by future MPC criticality design analyses, such as for those supporting the Conceptual Design Report.

NIF: Impacts of chemical accidents and comparison of chemical/radiological accident approaches

Description: The US Department of Energy (DOE) proposes to construct and operate the National Ignition Facility (NIF). The goals of the NIF are to (1) achieve fusion ignition in the laboratory for the first time by using inertial confinement fusion (ICF) technology based on an advanced-design neodymium glass solid-state laser, and (2) conduct high-energy-density experiments in support of national security and civilian applications. The primary focus of this paper is worker-public health and safety issues as… more

A study of surface diffusion with the scanning tunneling microscope from fluctuations of the tunneling current

Description: The transport of atoms or molecules over surfaces has been an important area of study for several decades now, with its progress generally limited by the available experimental techniques to characterize the phenomena. A number of methods have been developed over the years to measure surface diffusion yet only very few systems have been characterized to this day mainly due to the physical limitations inherent in these available methods. Even the STM with its astonishing atomically-resolved imag… more

Learning foraging thresholds for lizards

Description: This work gives a proof of convergence for a randomized learning algorithm that describes how anoles (lizards found in the Carribean) learn a foraging threshold distance. This model assumes that an anole will pursue a prey if and only if it is within this threshold of the anole`s perch. This learning algorithm was proposed by the biologist Roughgarden and his colleagues. They experimentally confirmed that this algorithm quickly converges to the foraging threshold that is predicted by optimal fo… more

Growth of a freely-propagating, two-dimensional turbulent-like flame

Description: Using a thin flame model with a constant density ratio across the flame and a constant burning velocity, numerical simulations of flame propagation into defined, non-decaying turbulent-like flow reveals a succession of growth rate behaviors. Starting with laminar growth, the flame length then acquires an exponential growth rate when the turbulence distorts the early flame so that an inner flame radius is a small fraction of the largest outer radius. As the flame continues to grow, the differenc… more
