Geologic and Engineering Characterization of East Ford Field, Reeves County, Texas (open access)

Geologic and Engineering Characterization of East Ford Field, Reeves County, Texas

The objective of this Class III project is to demonstrate that detailed reservoir characterization of slope and basin clastic reservoirs in sandstones of the Delaware Mountain Group in the Delaware Basin of West Texas and New Mexico is a cost-effective way to recover a higher percentage of the original oil in place through geologically based field development. The project focused on reservoir characterization of the East Ford unit, a representative Delaware Mountain Group field that produces from the upper Bell Canyon Formation (Ramsey Sandstone). The field, discovered in 1960, is operated by Oral Petco, Inc., as the East Ford unit: it contained an estimated 18.4 million barrels (MMbbl) of original oil in place.

Luminescence Properties of ScPO{sub 4} Single Crystals (open access)

Luminescence Properties of ScPO{sub 4} Single Crystals

Flux-grown ScPO{sub 4} single crystals exhibit a number of luminescence bands in their x-ray-excited luminescence spectra - including sharp lines arising from rare-earth elements plus a number of broad bands at 5.6 cV, 4.4 eV, and 3 eV. The band at 5.6 eV was attributed to a self-trapped exciton (STE) [l], and it could be excited at 7 eV and higher energies. This luminescence is strongly polarized (P = 70 %) along the optical axes of the crystal and exhibits a kinetic decay time constant that varies from several ns at room temperature to {approximately}10 {micro}s at 60 K and up to {approximately}1 ms at 10 K. It is assumed that the STE is localized on the SC ions. The band at 3 eV can be excited in the range of the ScPO{sub 4} crystal transparency (decay time = 3 to 4 {micro}s.) This band is attributed to a lead impurity that creates different luminescence centers. At high temperatures, the band at 4.4 eV is dominant in the x-ray-excited TSL and afterglow spectra. Its intensity increases with irradiation time beginning at zero at the initial irradiation time. The 4.4 eV band does not appear in a fast process under a …

Role of interfacial dislocations on creep of a fully lamellar tial (open access)

Role of interfacial dislocations on creep of a fully lamellar tial

Deformation mechanisms of a fully lamellar TiAl ({gamma} lamellae: 100 {approximately} 300 nm thick, {alpha}{sub 2} lamellae: 10 {approximately} 50 nm thick) crept at 760 C have been investigated. It was found that, as a result of a fine structure, the motion and multiplication of dislocations within both {gamma} and {alpha}{sub 2} lamellae are limited at low creep stresses (< 400 MPa). Thus, the glide and climb of lattice dislocations have insignificant contribution to creep deformation. In contrast, the motion of interfacial dislocations on {gamma}{alpha}{sub 2} and {gamma}{gamma} interfaces (i.e. interface sliding) dominates the deformation at low stresses. The major obstacles impeding the motion of interfacial dislocations was found to be lattice dislocations impinging on lamellar interfaces. The number of impinging lattice dislocations increases as the applied stress increases and, subsequently, causes the pileup of interfacial dislocations on the interfaces. The pileup further leads to the formation of deformation twins. Deformation twinning activated by the pileup of interfacial dislocations is suggested to be the dominant deformation mechanism at high stresses (> 400 MPa).

Finding the Higgs boson: A status report (open access)

Finding the Higgs boson: A status report

The search for the Higgs boson of the minimal Standard Model has been a major focus of experimental high energy physics for some years now. Here, the authors review the current experimental limits and discuss the prospects for finding the Higgs boson at future accelerators, such as LEPII and the LHC. They consider only the Standard Model Higgs boson. Since a null result which definitively excluded a Higgs boson below some mass scale would be extremely important, they emphasize the case where the Higgs boson is much heavier than the relevant collider energy (or where there is no Higgs boson at all). Many of the results given here are a summary of those obtained by the DPF Committee on Long Term Planning.

Intermediate Strain-Rate Loading Experiments - Technique and Applications to Ceramics (open access)

Intermediate Strain-Rate Loading Experiments - Technique and Applications to Ceramics

A new test methodology is described which allows access to loading rates that lie between split Hopkinson bar and shock-loading techniques. Gas gun experiments combined with velocity interferometry techniques have been used to experimentally determine the intermediate strain-rate loading behavior of Coors AD995 alumina and Cercom silicon-carbide rods. Graded-density materials have been used as impactors; thereby eliminating the tension states generated by the radial stress components during the loading phase. Results of these experiments demonstrate that the time-dependent stress pulse generated during impact allows an efficient transition from the initial uniaxial strain loading to a uniaxial stress state as the stress pulse propagates through the rod. This allows access to intermediate loading rates over 5 x 10{sup 3}/s to a few times 10{sup 4}/s.

Geochemical characterization of seaplane lagoon sediments, Alameda Naval Air Station (open access)

Geochemical characterization of seaplane lagoon sediments, Alameda Naval Air Station

Our objective in the characterization of sediments from Seaplane Lagoon at the Alameda Naval Air Station (NAS) was to determine the geochemical interactions that control the partitioning of cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, and zinc between the sediments and the porewaters. Our approach was to collect several cores at the east outfall location of the Seaplane Lagoon. We determined the porewater chemistry by (1) making in situ micro-electrode measurements, (2) extracting porewaters, and (3) modeling geochemical reactions. We determined the sediment chemistry by measuring (1) elemental abundance, (2) mineralogy, and (3) trace-element speciation. This information should help the US Navy determine the long-term hazard of the sediments if they are left in place and the short-term hazard if they are dredged. We did not fully examine the geochemistry of sediments from the West Beach Landfill Wetlands site, because these sediments were distinct from the Seaplane Lagoon sediments. Our initial motivation for studying the Landfill Wetlands site was to determine the trace-element geochemistry in Seaplane Lagoon sediments that had been dredged and then disposed in the Landfill Wetlands. Unfortunately, the location of these dredged sediments is unknown. The cores we sampled were not from the Seaplane Lagoon.

Producing EGS4 shower displays with the Unified Graphics System (open access)

Producing EGS4 shower displays with the Unified Graphics System

The EGS4 Code System has been coupled with the SLAC Unified Graphics System in such a manner as to provide a means for displaying showers on UGS77-supported devices. This is most easily accomplished by attaching an auxiliary subprogram package (SHOWGRAF) to existing EGS4 User Codes and making use of a graphics display or a post-processor code called EGS4PL. SHOWGRAF may be used to create shower displays directly on interactive IBM 5080 color display devices, supporting three-dimensional rotations, translations, and zoom features, and providing illustration of particle types and energies by color and/or intensity. Alternatively, SHOWGRAF may be used to record a two-dimensional projection of the shower in a device-independent graphics file. The EGS4PL post-processor may then be used to convert this file into device-dependent graphics code for any UGS77-supported device. Options exist within EGS4PL that allow for two-dimensional translations and zoom, for creating line structure to indicate particle types and energies, and for optional display of particles by type. All of this is facilitated by means of the command processor EGS4PL EXEC together with new options (5080 and PDEV) with the standard EGS4IN EXEC routine for running EGS4 interactively under VM/SP. 6 refs.

A study of potential high band-gap photovoltaic materials for a two step photon intermediate technique in fission energy conversion. Progress report for year one, December 1, 1990--November 30, 1991

A diamond synthesis chamber and an ion implanter have been constructed. Work has been rapidly progressing and diamond has been synthesized. There are five variables which affect the quality of diamond: (1) mass flow of methane, (2) mass flow of hydrogen, (3) filament temperature, (4) substrate temperature, and (5) substrate material. Enclosed are pictures and data of previous diamond growth experiments. Current work is focused on the conditions which produce the best quality diamond films. In this study, diamond films were deposited using a hot-filament CVD method with boron trioxide (B{sub 2}O{sub 3}) and diphosphorus pentoxide (P{sub 2}O{sub 5}) as the doping sources. P{sub 2}O{sub 5} is the only known effective phosphorus source for forming n-type semiconducting material. An RF generator has been made operation for epitaxial growth of AIN by the chemical vapor deposition method. In initial experiments with a graphite substrate, the RF generator heated the material to a temperature of 1100{degrees}C. A reactor which will use the RF generator has been built for AIN synthesis. The device should be assembled and tested by the end of August. A new process for fabricating platinum silicide photovoltaic cells has been developed. A diffused guard ring has been added to …

Analysis of the Samus Collimeter Cart (open access)

Analysis of the Samus Collimeter Cart

The SAMUS collimator cart is a support for shielding blocks and the vacuum assembly of the Tevatron beam tube as it passes through the D0 End Iron. It slides on linear bearings mounted in the SAMUS toroid as the End Iron moves in and out. There are two collimators designed for the D0 experiment, designated North and South, each identical except for the shimming of the tungsten center blocks, and thereby the relative position of the Tevatron tube. This report contains calculations of the stresses during installation as well as the installed configurations. To support the analysis of the installation case, loads were simulated on the cart held in a mock-up of the lifting fixture.
