Surface Specularity as an Indicator of Shock-Induced Solid-Liquid Phase Transitions (open access)

Surface Specularity as an Indicator of Shock-Induced Solid-Liquid Phase Transitions

When highly polished metal surfaces melt upon release after shock loading, they exhibit a number of features that suggest that significant surface changes accompany the phase transition. The reflection of light from such surfaces changes from specular (pre-shock) to diffuse upon melting. A familiar manifestation of this phenomenon is the loss of signal light in velocimetric measurements typically observed above pressures high enough to melt the free-surface. Unlike many other potential material phase-sensitive diagnostics (e.g., reflectometery, conductivity), changes in the specularity of reflection provide a dramatic, sensitive indicator of the solid-liquid phase transition. Data will be presented from multiple diagnostics that support the hypothesis that specularity changes indicate melt. These diagnostics include shadowgraphy, infrared imagery, high-magnification surface images, interferometric velocimetry, and most recently scattering angle measurements.

Shape transitions in neutron-rich Ru isotopes: spectroscopy of 109,110,111,112Ru (open access)

Shape transitions in neutron-rich Ru isotopes: spectroscopy of 109,110,111,112Ru

The spectroscopy of neutron-rich {sup 109,110,111,112}Ru nuclei was studied by measuring the prompt {gamma} rays originated from fission fragments, produced by the {sup 238}U({alpha},f) fusion-fission reaction, in coincidence with the detection of both fragments. For {sup 109,111}Ru, both the negative-parity (h{sub 11/2} orbitals) and positive-parity (g{sub 7/2} and/or d{sub 5/2} orbitals) bands were extended to substantially higher spin and excitation energy than known previously. The ground-state and {gamma}-vibrational bands of {sup 110,112}Ru also were extended to higher spin, allowing observation of the second band crossing at the rotational frequency of {approx}450 keV in {sup 112}Ru, which is {approx}50 keV above the first band crossing. At a similar rotational frequency, the first band crossing for the h{sub 11/2} band in {sup 111}Ru was observed, which is absent in {sup 109}Ru. These band crossings most likely are caused by the alignment of the g{sub 9/2} proton pair. This early onset of the band crossing for the aligned {pi}g{sub 9/2} orbitals may be evidence of a triaxial shape transition from prolate to oblate occurring in {sup 111}Ru. The data together with a comparison of cranked shell model predictions are presented.

An effective longitudinal space-charge impedance model for beamswith non-uniform and non-axissymmetric transverse density (open access)

An effective longitudinal space-charge impedance model for beamswith non-uniform and non-axissymmetric transverse density

Use of a one-dimensional model of longitudinal space-charge(SC) impedance has been proposed for studying the microbunchinginstability in single-pass delivery systems relevant for the nextgeneration of FELs. For beams with uniform transverse density andcircular cross-section of radius r_b the SC impedance can be expressed ina handy analytical form, making this model particularly convenient. Inthis report we show how with an appropriate choice of r_b one can usethis as an effective-beam model to approximate beams with non-axissymmetric and non-uniform transverse densities.

Poroelastic modeling of seismic boundary conditions across afracture (open access)

Poroelastic modeling of seismic boundary conditions across afracture

A fracture within a porous background is modeled as a thin porous layer with increased compliance and finite permeability. For small layer thickness, a set of boundary conditions can be derived that relate particle velocity and stress across a fracture, induced by incident poroelastic waves. These boundary conditions are given via phenomenological parameters that can be used to examine and characterize the seismic response of a fracture. One of these parameters, here it is called membrane permeability, is shown through several examples to control the scattering amplitude of the slow P waves for very low-permeability fractures, which in turn controls the intrinsic attenuation of the waves.

Residential implementation of critical-peak pricing ofelectricity (open access)

Residential implementation of critical-peak pricing ofelectricity

This paper investigates how critical-peak pricing (CPP)affects households with different usage and income levels, with the goalof informing policy makers who are considering the implementation of CPPtariffs in the residential sector. Using a subset of data from theCalifornia Statewide Pricing Pilot of 2003-2004, average load changeduring summer events, annual percent bill change, and post-experimentsatisfaction ratings are calculated across six customer segments,categorized by historical usage and income levels. Findings show thathigh-use customers respond significantly more in kW reduction than dolow-use customers, while low-use customers save significantly more inpercentage reduction of annual electricity bills than do high-usecustomers results that challenge the strategy of targeting only high-usecustomers for CPP tariffs. Across income levels, average load and billchanges were statistically indistinguishable, as were satisfaction ratesresults that are compatible with a strategy of full-scale implementationof CPP rates in the residential sector. Finally, the high-use customersearning less than $50,000 annually were the most likely of the groups tosee bill increases about 5 percent saw bill increases of 10 percent ormore suggesting that any residential CPP implementation might considertargeting this customer group for increased energy efficiencyefforts.

Modelling of e-cloud build-up in grooved vacuum chambers usingPOSINST

Use of grooved vacuum chambers have been suggested as a wayto limitelectron cloud accumulation in the ILC-DR. We report onsimulations carried out using an augmented version of POSINST, accountingfor e-cloud dynamics in the presence of grooves, and make contact withprevious estimates of an effective secondary electron yield for groovedsurfaces.

In situ laser heating and radial synchrotron X-ray diffraction ina diamond anvil cell (open access)

In situ laser heating and radial synchrotron X-ray diffraction ina diamond anvil cell

We report a first combination of diamond anvil cell radialx-ray diffraction with in situ laser heating. The laser-heating setup ofALS beamline 12.2.2 was modified to allow one-sided heating of a samplein a diamond anvil cell with an 80 W yttrium lithium fluoride laser whileprobing the sample with radial x-ray diffraction. The diamond anvil cellis placed with its compressional axis vertical, and perpendicular to thebeam. The laser beam is focused onto the sample from the top while thesample is probed with hard x-rays through an x-ray transparentboron-epoxy gasket. The temperature response of preferred orientation of(Fe,Mg)O is probed as a test experiment. Recrystallization was observedabove 1500 K, accompanied by a decrease in stress.

Calibration of symmetric and non-symmetric errors for interferometry of ultra-precise imaging systems (open access)

Calibration of symmetric and non-symmetric errors for interferometry of ultra-precise imaging systems

The azimuthal Zernike coefficients for shells of Zernike functions with shell numbers n<N may be determined by making measurements at N equally spaced rotational positions. However, these measurements do not determine the coefficients of any of the purely radial Zernike functions. Label the circle that the azimuthal Zernikes are measured in as circle A. Suppose that the azimuthal Zernike coefficients for n<N are also measured in a smaller circle B which is inside circle A but offset so that it is tangent to circle A and so that it has the center of circle A just inside its circular boundary. The diameter of circle B is thus only slightly larger than half the diameter of circle A. From these two sets of measurements, all the Zernike coefficients may be determined for n<N. However, there are usually unknown small rigid body motions of the optic between measurements. Then all the Zernike coefficients for n<N except for piston, tilts, and focus may be determined. We describe the exact mathematical algorithm that does this and describe an interferometer which measures the complete wavefront from pinholes in pinhole aligners. These pinhole aligners are self-contained units which include a fiber optic, focusing optics, and a …
