Analysis of KEK-ATF Optics and Coupling Using LOCO (open access)

Analysis of KEK-ATF Optics and Coupling Using LOCO

LOCO is a code for analysis of the linear optics in astorage ring based on the closed orbit response to steering magnets. Theanalysis provides information on focusing errors, BPM gain and rotationerrors,and local coupling. Here, we report the results of an applicationof LOCO to the KEK-ATF. Although the analysis appears to have provideduseful information on the optics of the machine, it appears that one ofthe main aims of the study to reduce the vertical emittance by correctingthe local coupling was not successful, and we discuss some possiblereasons for this.

Department of Justice Role in Countering WMD (open access)

Department of Justice Role in Countering WMD

Stopping terrorist is most likely to be accomplished by state, local and federal law enforcement. With the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, the specific roles and responsibilities of the Department of Justice (DOJ) in preventing and responding to weapons of mass destruction (WMD) terrorist attacks are under reversion, but unquestionably the DOJ, as the chief federal law enforcement agency, will continue to have major responsibilities.

A Departure from prediction: Electroweak physics at NuTeV (open access)

A Departure from prediction: Electroweak physics at NuTeV

The NuTeV experiment has performed precision measurements of the ratio of neutral-current to charged-current cross-sections in high rate, high energy neutrino and antineutrino beams on a dense, primarily steel, target. The separate neutrino and anti-neutrino beams, high statistics, and improved control of other experimental systematics, allow the determination of electroweak parameters with significantly greater precision than past {nu}N scattering experiments. Our null hypothesis test of the standard model prediction measures sin{sup 2} {theta}{sub W}{sup (on shell)} = 0.2277 {+-} 0.0013(stat) {+-} 0.0009(syst), a value which is 3.0{sigma} above the prediction. We discuss possible explanations for and implications of this discrepancy.

Direct numerical simulations of type Ia supernovae flames II: The Rayleigh-Taylor instability (open access)

Direct numerical simulations of type Ia supernovae flames II: The Rayleigh-Taylor instability

A Type Ia supernova explosion likely begins as a nuclear runaway near the center of a carbon-oxygen white dwarf. The outward propagating flame is unstable to the Landau-Darrieus, Rayleigh-Taylor, and Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities, which serve to accelerate it to a large fraction of the speed of sound. We investigate the Rayleigh-Taylor unstable flame at the transition from the flamelet regime to the distributed-burning regime, around densities of 10e7 gm/cc, through detailed, fully resolved simulations. A low Mach number, adaptive mesh hydrodynamics code is used to achieve the necessary resolution and long time scales. As the density is varied, we see a fundamental change in the character of the burning--at the low end of the density range the Rayleigh-Taylor instability dominates the burning, whereas at the high end the burning suppresses the instability. In all cases, significant acceleration of the flame is observed, limited only by the size of the domain we are able to study. We discuss the implications of these results on the potential for a deflagration to detonation transition.

Double-kink Fishbone Instability Caused by Circulating Energetic Ions (open access)

Double-kink Fishbone Instability Caused by Circulating Energetic Ions

The destabilization of double kink modes by the circulating energetic ions in tokamaks with the plasma current having an off-axis maximum is studied. It is shown that the high-frequency fishbone instability [Energetic Particle Mode (EPM)] and the low-frequency (diamagnetic) fishbones are possible for such an equilibrium, their poloidal and toroidal mode numbers being not necessarily equal to unity. A new kind of the EPM instability, ''doublet fishbones,'' is predicted. This instability is characterized by two frequencies; it can occur in a plasma with a non-monotonic radial profile of the energetic ions when the particle orbit width is less than the width of the region where the mode is localized. It is found that the diamagnetic fishbone branch exists even when the orbit width exceeds the mode width; in this case, however, the instability growth rate is relatively small.

Effect of Substrate Orientation on the Growth Rate, Surface Morphology and Silicon Incorporation on GaSb Grown by Metal-Organic Vapor Phase Epitaxy (open access)

Effect of Substrate Orientation on the Growth Rate, Surface Morphology and Silicon Incorporation on GaSb Grown by Metal-Organic Vapor Phase Epitaxy

The growth and dopant incorporation during metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) strongly depends on the orientation of the starting substrates. MOVPE of Si-doped GaSb layers on (100), (111)B and (111)A substrates were used to investigate the effect of orientation on the growth rate, the surface morphology and the silicon incorporation. orientation dependence of growth rates was studied as a function of temperature and V/III ratio. As the V/III ratios increases, the growth rate on the (111)B oriented substrate decreases, whereas that on the (111)A oriented substrate increases. The surface morphology on different substrates was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Flat-top hexagonal hillocks were observed on (111)B surface, and the growth was by step-flow on these facets. A surface kinetic growth model has been proposed to describe the growth features observed on (111)B surfaces. Finally, the orientation dependence of silicon incorporation was studied by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and Hall measurements. It was found that the silicon incorporation rate was four times higher on (100) oriented surface than on (111)B oriented substrates. Although no conduction type switch was found on (111)B oriented substrate, throughout the Si doping range studied, a Ga slightly rich growth …
