A fast large-area position-sensitive time-of-flight neutron detection system (open access)

A fast large-area position-sensitive time-of-flight neutron detection system

A new position-sensitive time-of-flight neutron detection and histograming system has been developed for use at the Intense Pulsed Neutron Source. Spatial resolution of roughly 1 cm {times} 1 cm and time-of-flight resolution of {approximately}1 {mu}sec are combined in a detection system which can ultimately be expanded to cover several square meters of active detector area. This system is based on the use of arrays of cylindrical one-dimensional position-sensitive proportional counters, and is capable of collecting the x-y-t data and sorting them into histograms at time-averaged data rates up to {approximately}300,000 events/sec over the full detector area and with instantaneous data rates up to more than fifty times that. Numerous hardware features have been incorporated to facilitate initial tuning of the position encoding, absolute calibration of the encoded positions, and automatic testing for drifts. 7 refs., 11 figs., 1 tabs.

ITER disruption modeling using TSC (Tokamak Simulation Code) (open access)

ITER disruption modeling using TSC (Tokamak Simulation Code)

Design of the ITER vacuum vessel (VV) is driven strongly by disruption-induced forces. We use the Tokamak Simulation Code (TSC) to model disruptions for the ITER physics phase (I{sub p} = 22 MA) and predict the time evolution of currents and forces on the VV. For a plasma vertically displaced to Z{sub axis} = {minus}1.0m before disruption and decaying at a rate of < dI{sub p}/dt > {approx equal} {minus}1.0MA/ms, the induced VV current peaks at 18 MA. The maximum radial VV force F{sub R} is 56 MN/rad; the maximum vertical force F{sub Z} is 5.4 MN/rad; and the maximum VV disruption pressure is 1.0 MPa. Variations in VV resistance (20 - 160 {mu}{Omega}) and < dI{sub p}/dt > (1 - 2.5 MA/ms) do not change F{sub R} significantly. The dependence of the forces on the initial plasma displacement and < dI{sub p}/dt > behavior, and the responses of other conducting structures are discussed. 2 refs., 6 figs.

L-shell photoabsorption spectroscopy for solid metals: Ti, V, Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu (open access)

L-shell photoabsorption spectroscopy for solid metals: Ti, V, Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu

Synchrotron radiation measurements of near-threshold and broad-range (400--1500 eV) absolute photoabsorption cross sections were made for five transition metals with {plus minus}10% overall uncertainties. Fine structure details of 2p-3d autoionizing resonances are shown with better than 1.0 eV resolution for solid metals: Ti, V, Cr, Fe, Ni, and Cu. Fine structure similar to what we measured can be produced using a multi-configuration Dirac Fock (MCDF) model if a statistical distribution is assumed for the initial atomic states. Calculations were performed in intermediate coupling with configuration interactions by Mau H. Chen. The results are compared with other experimental work and theoretical methodologies. 18 refs., 7 figs.

At the head of its class

A newspaper clipping featuring an article on children from Forest Hill Elementary School at the head of their class with high grades in arts education. The article goes into the fact that arts education has been around since the 1950s but there never has been such an interest until now, art education is being re-examined. Art is being viewed as important to all students as a means of enchaining learning and other disciplines such as math and science. The article continues into the hard work that Getty Center and the education reformation program has undergone to see changes in the schools curriculum.

Microwave Tokamak Experiment (MTX) ohmic heating system (open access)

Microwave Tokamak Experiment (MTX) ohmic heating system

The ohmic heating system for the Microwave Tokamak Experiment (MTX) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) provides both the voltage for the initial breakdown phase and the energy to drive the plasma current to a value of 400 kA or greater. Providing this voltage and flux swing requires a one-turn loop voltage of about 25 volts (11 kV across the coil) and a magnetic flux swing of 2 volt- seconds. This voltage and flux swing are accomplished by charging the ohmic heating coils to 20 kA, at which point the current is commutated off into a resistor generating the 11 kV across the coil. When the current passes through zero, another power supply drives the current in the opposite polarity to 20 kA, thus completing the full 2 volt-second flux swing. This paper describes the design features and performance of the ohmic heating circuit, with emphasis on the commutation circuit. In addition, the paper describes the use of the ohmic heating system for discharge cleaning and the changeover procedure. 3 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.

Floating data acquisition system for microwave calorimeter measurements on MTX (open access)

Floating data acquisition system for microwave calorimeter measurements on MTX

A microwave calorimeter has been designed for making 140-GHz absorption measurements on the MTX. Measurement of the intensity and spatial distribution of the FEL-generated microwave beam on the inner wall will indicate the absorption characteristics of the plasma when heated with a 140 GHz FEL pulse. The calorimeter works by monitoring changes of temperature in silicon carbide tiles located on the inner wall of the tokamak. Thermistors are used to measure the temperature of each tile. The tiles are located inside the tokamak about 1 cm outside of the limiter radius at machine potential. The success of this measurement depends on our ability to float the data acquisition system near machine potential and isolate it from the rest of the vault ground system. Our data acquisition system has 48 channels of thermistor signal conditioning, a multiplexer and digitizer section, a serial data formatter, and a fiber-optic transmitter to send the data out. Additionally, we bring timing signals to the interface through optical fibers to tell it when to begin measurement, while maintaining isolation. The receiver is an HP 200 series computer with a serial data interface; the computer provides storage and local display for the shot temperature profile. Additionally, the …
