Design considerations for a scintillating plate calorimeter for SDC

As scintillating plate calorimetry is a viable option for the SDC detector, it is imperative that the phase space of passive and active materials be explored in a systematic fashion. To this end, we have examined several different configurations of passive and active materials as a function of incident energy, to see what the resolution and e/h characteristics are of each of these configurations. These studies have been carried out using the CALOR89 Monte Carlo simulation package. 3 figs., 5 ta… more

Evaluation of the Crude Oil Policy Model (COPM) and recommended modifications

This is an evaluation of the Crude Oil Policy Model (COPM) and the assumptions driving the estimates of future crude oil production and abandonments attributable to an accelerated federal oil R&D program which were cited in the National Energy Strategy. This evaluation focuses on the logic and inputs to the model itself, and their impact on the NES estimates. A plan for making the recommended enhancements is also discussed. A parallel effort is also now in progress to make a number of model enh… more
