NANOMETER PRECISION IN LARGE SURFACE PROFILOMETRY.

Description: The Long Trace Profiler (LTP) is in use at many synchrotron radiation (SR) laboratories throughout the world and by a number of manufacturers who specialize in fabricating grazing incidence mirrors for SR and x-ray telescope applications. Recent improvements in the design and operation of the LTP system have reduced the statistical error in slope profile measurement to the 1 standard deviation level of 0.3 microradian for 0.5 meter long mirrors. This corresponds to a height error on the order o… more

Performance Assessment Uncertainty Analysis for Japan's HLW Program Feasibility Study (H12)

Description: Most HLW programs in the world recognize that any estimate of long-term radiological performance must be couched in terms of the uncertainties derived from natural variation, changes through time and lack of knowledge about the essential processes. The Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Institute followed a relatively standard procedure to address two major categories of uncertainty. First, a FEatures, Events and Processes (FEPs) listing, screening and grouping activity was pursued in order to def… more

MASS MEASUREMENTS ALONG THE RP-PROCESS PATH.

Description: The path and termination point for the t-p-process above {sup 56}Ni is uncertain due to a lack of knowledge of nuclear properties, especially masses, near the proton drip line. To address this need we have begun a program to measure masses of nuclei along the r-p-process pathway in the A{approximately}60-80 region using {beta}-{gamma} coincidence spectroscopy. Results for {sup 71}Se are presented and a preliminary experiment for {sup 72}Br is described.

China PV Business and Applications Evaluation

Description: This report provides an overview of photovoltaics (PV) business and applications in China. Although more than 70 million people in China are without access to grid electricity, many of the unelectrified regions benefit from considerable renewable resources, including good solar insolation. Current annual PV sales are still modest, however, and are estimated to be between 2.0 and 2.5 megawatts. This and other significant PV data, including information regarding the current status of key aspects … more

Multilayer Thermionic Refrigeration

Description: A review is presented of our program to construct an efficient solid state refrigerator based on thermionic emission of electrons over periodic barriers in the solid. The experimental program is to construct a simple device with one barrier layer using a three layers: metal-semiconductor-metal. The theoretical program is doing calculations to determine: (i) the optimal layer thickness, and (ii) the thermal conductivity.

Recent Nuclear Astrophysics Data Activities in the US

Description: Measurements in nuclear physics laboratories form the empirical foundation for new, realistic, sophisticated theoretical models of a wide variety of astrophysical systems. The predictive power of these models has, in many instances, a strong dependence on the input nuclear data, and more extensive and accurate nuclear data is required for these models than ever before. Progress in astrophysics can be aided by providing scientists with more usable, accurate, and significant amounts of nuclear da… more

Novel Refrigerator Development

Description: In part 1, we describe how the creation of quasiparticles by current flow through a normal-insulator-superconductor (NIS) junction degrades the cooling performance of the junction. Degradation occurs due to the absorption of recombination phonons in the normal electrode and due to a reduction in the cooling power. In part 2, we describe how vibrations from a pulse tube mechanical cooler affect X-ray measurements performed with a superconducting tunnel junction.

New <sup>88</sup>Sr(n,<font face="symbol">g</font>)Astrophysical Reaction Rate from Resonance Analysis of New High-Resolution Neutron Capture and Transmission Data

Description: Because of its small cross section, the <sup>88</sup>Sr(n,<font face="symbol">g</font>) reaction is an important bottleneck during <i>s</i>-process nucleosynthesis. Hence, an accurate determination of this rate is needed to better constrain the neutron exposure in <i>s</i>-process models and to more fully exploit the recently discovered isotopic anomalies in certain meteorites. We have completed the resonance analysis of our new and improved measurements of the neutron capture and total cross s… more
