Properties of Wide-separation Lensed Quasars byClusters of Galaxies in the SDSS (open access)

Properties of Wide-separation Lensed Quasars byClusters of Galaxies in the SDSS

We use high-resolution N-body numerical simulations to study the number of predicted large-separation multiply-imaged systems produced by clusters of galaxies in the SDSS photometric and spectroscopic quasar samples. We incorporate the condensation of baryons at the center of clusters by (artificially) adding a brightest central galaxy (BCG) as a truncated isothermal sphere. We make predictions in two at cosmological models: a {Lambda}CDM model with a matter density {Omega}{sub m,0} = 0.3, and {sigma}{sub 8} 0.9 ({Lambda}CDM0), and a model favored by the WMAP three-year data with {Omega}{sub m,0} = 0.238, and {sigma}{sub 8} = 0.74 (WMAP3). We found that the predicted multiply-imaged quasars with separation > 10 is about 6.2 and 2.6 for the SDSS photometric (with an effective area 8000 deg{sup 2}) and spectroscopic (with an effective area 5000 deg{sup 2}) quasar samples respectively in the {Lambda}CDM0 model; the predicted numbers of large-separation lensed quasars agree well with the observations. These numbers are reduced by a factor of 7 or more in the WMAP3 model, and are consistent with data at {approx}< 8% level. The predicted cluster lens redshift peaks around redshift 0.5, and 90% are between 0.3 and 1. The ratio of systems with at least four image …

Annual Site Environmental Report: 2005 (open access)

Annual Site Environmental Report: 2005

This report provides information about environmental programs during 2005 at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC). Seasonal activities that span calendar years are also included. Production of an annual site environmental report (ASER) is a requirement established by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) for all management and operating (M&O) contractors throughout the DOE complex. SLAC is a federally-funded research and development center with Stanford University as the M&O contractor. SLAC effectively applied environmental management in meeting the site's integrated safety and environmental management system (ISEMS) goals. For normal daily activities, all SLAC managers and supervisors are responsible for ensuring that proper procedures are followed so that: (1) Worker safety and health are protected; (2) The environment is protected; and (3) Compliance is ensured. Throughout 2005, SLAC focused on these activities through the SLAC management systems (described in Chapter 3). These systems were also the way SLAC approached implementing ''greening of the government'' initiatives such as Executive Order 13148. The management systems at SLAC are effective, supporting compliance with all relevant statutory and regulatory requirements. There were no reportable releases to the environment from SLAC operations during 2005. In addition, many improvements were continued during 2005, in waste minimization, …

Thermal Modeling Tool for a Spherical Capsule in a Sputtering Chamber (open access)

Thermal Modeling Tool for a Spherical Capsule in a Sputtering Chamber

It is known that a film's temperature during a sputtering process greatly influences its mechanical structure. Currently, there is no known tool to effectively model the temperature history of a sputtered film on a spherical capsule in a sputtering chamber. Therefore, a tool has been developed that allows for the prediction of this temperature history using a lumped capacitance approximation for the capsule. This tool has been developed as part of LLNL's Diablo II multi-mechanics code to allow for the coupling of the capsule mechanics with the finite element-based sputtering chamber mechanics. The tool incorporates three forms of heat transfer: contact heat transfer between the capsule and the walls, enclosure radiation among all surfaces, and adsorption of chamber gas on all surfaces. The physics of the system have been validated by determining less than 1% difference in simulated results of twelve test runs to values determined via analytical or finite difference approaches, and validation of eight further tests involving capsule motion provide confidence in the model.

REPORT on the TRUCK BRAKE LINING WORKSHOP and FLEET OPERATORS' SURVEY (open access)

REPORT on the TRUCK BRAKE LINING WORKSHOP and FLEET OPERATORS' SURVEY

The report summarizes what transpired during brake linings-related workshop held at the Fall 2003 meeting of the Technology and Maintenance Council (TMC) in Charlotte, NC. The title of the workshop was ''Developing a Useful Friction Material Rating System''. It was organized by a team consisting of Peter Blau (Oak Ridge National Laboratory), Jim Britell (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), and Jim Lawrence (Motor and Equipment Manufacturers Association). The workshop was held under the auspices of TMC Task Force S6 (Chassis), chaired by Joseph Stianche (Sanderson Farms, Inc.). Six invited speakers during the morning session provided varied perspectives on testing and rating aftermarket automotive and truck brake linings. They were: James R. Clark, Chief Engineer, Foundation Brakes and Wheel Equipment, Dana Corporation, Spicer Heavy Axle and Brake Division; Charles W. Greening, Jr, President, Greening Test Labs; Tim Duncan, General Manager, Link Testing Services;Dennis J. McNichol, President, Dennis NationaLease; Jim Fajerski, Business Manager, OE Sales and Applications Engineering, Federal Mogul Corporation; and Peter J. Blau, Senior Materials Development Engineer, Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The afternoon break-out sessions addressed nine questions concerning such issues as: ''Should the federal government regulate aftermarket lining quality?''; ''How many operators use RP 628, and if so, what's …

Physics with a High Intensity Proton Source at Fermilab: Project X Golden Book (open access)

Physics with a High Intensity Proton Source at Fermilab: Project X Golden Book

Within the next ten years the Standard Model will likely have to be modified to encompass a wide range of newly discovered phenomena, new elementary particles, new symmetries, and new dynamics. These phenomena will be revealed through experiment with high energy particle accelerators, mainly the LHC. This will represent a revolution in our understanding of nature, and will either bring us closer to an understanding of all phenomena, through existing ideas such as supersymmetry to superstrings, or will cause us to scramble to find new ideas and a new sense of direction. We are thus entering a dramatic and important time in the quest to understand the fundamental laws of nature and their role in shaping the universe. The energy scales now probed by the Tevatron, of order hundreds of GeV, will soon be subsumed by the LHC and extended up to a few TeV. We expect the unknown structure of the mysterious symmetry breaking of the Standard Model to be revealed. We will then learn the answer to a question that has a fundamental bearing upon our own existence: 'What is the origin of mass?' All modern theories of 'electroweak symmetry breaking' involve many new particles, mainly to provide …
