Labs21 Environmental Performance Criteria: Toward 'LEED (trademark) for Labs'

Description: Laboratory facilities present a unique challenge for energy efficient and sustainable design, with their inherent complexity of systems, health and safety requirements, long-term flexibility and adaptability needs, energy use intensity, and environmental impacts. The typical laboratory is about three to five times as energy intensive as a typical office building and costs about three times as much per unit area. In order to help laboratory stakeholders assess the environmental performance of th… more

Engineering properties of superhard films with ion energy and post-deposition processing

Description: Recent developments in plasma synthesis of hard materials using energetic ions are described. Metal Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation and Deposition (MePIIID) has been used to prepare several hard films: from diamondlike carbon (DLC) to carbides, from nitrides to oxides. The energy of the depositing species is controlled to maximize adhesion as well as to change the physical and chemical properties of the films. Adhesion is promoted by the creation of a graded interface between the film and the… more

Tracking of three variants of transition-free lattices for a proton driver

Description: Transition-free lattices are favored as possible realization of proton drivers. Several variants have been proposed, some of which have considerably different behavior. One of the main quantities used to characterize this behavior is the short term dynamic aperture (DA). In this note we study three different variants of such lattices, and show that the differences in DA among the lattices essentially disappear as soon as magnet multipole errors are included in the simulation. The tracking resul… more

Passive correction of the persistent current effect in Nb3Sn accelerator magnets

Description: Superconducting accelerator magnets must provide a uniform field during operation. However, the field quality significantly deteriorates due to persistent currents induced in superconducting filaments. This effect is especially large for the Nb{sub 3}Sn conductor being implemented in the next generation of accelerator magnets. A simple and inexpensive method of passive correction of the persistent current effect was developed and experimentally verified. This paper describes numerical simulatio… more

Source Parameters from Identified Hadron Spectra and HBT Radii for Au-Au Collisions at (Square Root)SNN=200 GeV in PHENIX

Description: The characteristics of the particle emitting source are deduced from low p{sub T} identified hadron spectra ((m{sub T}-m0) < 1 GeV) and HBT radii using a hydrodynamic interpretation. From the most peripheral to the most central data, the single particle spectra are fit simultaneously for all {pi}{sup {+-}}, K{sup {+-}}, and {bar p}/p using the parameterization in [1] and assuming a linear transverse flow profile. Within the systematic uncertainties, the expansion parameters T{sub fo} and {be… more

Reservoir Characterization: Electromagnetic Imaging of CO2 for EOR Processes

Description: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is currently involved in a long term study using time-lapse multiple frequency electromagnetic (EM) imaging at a carbon dioxide (CO{sub 2}) enhanced oil recovery (EOR) site in the San Joaquin Valley, California. The impetus for this proposed research project is to develop the ability to image subsurface CO{sub 2} during EOR processes while simultaneously discriminating between background heavy petroleum and water deposits. Using field equipment developed a… more

Tracing Fuel Component Carbon in the Emissions from Diesel Engines

Description: The addition of oxygenates to diesel fuel can reduce particulate emissions, but the underlying chemical pathways for the reductions are not well understood. While measurements of particulate matter (PM), unburned hydrocarbons (HC), and carbon monoxide (CO) are routine, determining the contribution of carbon atoms in the original fuel molecules to the formation of these undesired exhaust emissions has proven difficult. Renewable bio-derived fuels (ethanol or bio-diesel) containing a universal di… more

Simulation of Chamber Transport for Heavy-Ion Fusion

Description: Beams for heavy-ion fusion (HIF) are expected to require substantial neutralization in a target chamber. Present targets call for higher beam currents and smaller focal spots than most earlier designs, leading to high space-charge fields. Collisional stripping by the background gas expected in the chamber further increases the beam charge. Simulations with no electron sources other than beam stripping and background-gas ionization show an acceptable focal spot only for high ion energies or for … more

Electron Beam Production and Characterization for the PLEIADES Thomson X-ray Source

Description: We report on the performance of an S-band RF photocathode electron gun and accelerator for operation with the PLEIADES Thomson x-ray source at LLNL. Simulations of beam production, transport, and focus are presented. It is shown that a 1 ps, 500 pC electron bunch with a normalized emittance of less than 5 {pi}mm-mrad can be delivered to the interaction point. Initial electron measurements are presented. Calculations of expected x-ray flux are also performed, demonstrating an expected peak spect… more

Anomalous momentum dependence of the quasiparticle scattering ratein overdoped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8

Description: The question of the anisotropy of the electron scattering in high temperature superconductors is investigated using high resolution angle-resolved photoemission data from Pb-doped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8(Bi2212) with suppressed superstructure. The scattering rate of low energy electrons along two bilayer split pieces of the Fermi surface is measured (via the quasiparticle peak width), and no increase of scattering towards the antinode (Pi,0) region is observed, contradicting the expectation from Q=(Pi, P… more

Probing physics beyond the SM at Tevatron

Description: Tevatron Experiments: CDF and 6 D0 collected during October 1992 and February 1996 (Run I) a data sample of roughly 120 pb{sup -1} p {bar p} collisions at a center of mass energy {radical}s = 1.8 TeV. A large variety of physical studies have been performed using these data. Current paper reviews last results obtained searching for physics beyond the Standard Model. Direct Supersymmetry (SUSY) searches are not part of this review.

Development of Submerged Entry Nozzles that Resist Clogging

Description: Accretion formation and the associated clogging of SENs is a major problem for the steel industry leading to decreased strand speed, premature changing of SENs or strand termination and the associated reductions in productivity, consistency, and steel quality. A program to evaluate potentially clog resistance materials was initiated at the University of Missouri-Rolla. The main objective of the research effort was to identify combinations of steelmaking and refractory practices that would yield… more

Grants Work in a Congressional Office

Description: Members of Congress often get requests from constituents for information and help in obtaining funds for projects. Many state and local governments, nonprofit social service and community action organizations, private research groups, small businesses, and individuals approach congressional offices to find out about funding, both from the federal government and from the private sector. The success rate in obtaining federal assistance is not high, given the competition for federal funds. A grant… more
