Beam Extraction from Laser Driven Multi-Charged Ion Source (open access)

Beam Extraction from Laser Driven Multi-Charged Ion Source

A newly proposed type of multicharged ion source offers the possibility of an economically advantageous high-charge-state fusion driver. Multiphoton absorption in an intense uniform laser focus can give multiple charge states of high purity, simplifying or eliminating the need for charge-state separation downstream. Very large currents (hundreds of amperes) can be extracted from this type of source. Several arrangements are possible. For example, the laser plasma could be tailored for storage in a magnetic bucket, with beam extracted from the bucket. A different approach, described in this report, is direct beam extraction from the expanding laser plasma. They discuss extraction and focusing for the particular case of a 4.1-MV beam of Xe{sup 16+} ions. The maximum duration of the beam pulse is limited by the total charge in the plasma, while the practical pulse length is determined by the range of plasma radii over which good beam optics can be achieved. The extraction electrode contains a solenoid for beam focusing. The design studies were carried out first with an envelope code and then with a self-consistent particle code. Results from the initial model showed that hundreds of amperes could be extracted, but that most of this current missed the solenoid …

ASIC Wafer Test System for the ATLAS Semiconductor Tracker Front-End Chip (open access)

ASIC Wafer Test System for the ATLAS Semiconductor Tracker Front-End Chip

An ASIC wafer test system has been developed to provide comprehensive production screening of the ATLAS Semiconductor Tracker front-end chip (ABCD3T). The ABCD3T[1] features a 128-channel analog front-end, a digital pipeline, and communication circuitry, clocked at 40 MHz, which is the bunch crossing frequency at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider). The tester measures values and tolerance ranges of all critical IC parameters, including DC parameters, electronic noise, time resolution, clock levels and clock timing. The tester is controlled by an FPGA (ORCA3T) programmed to issue the input commands to the IC and to interpret the output data. This allows the high-speed wafer-level IC testing necessary to meet the production schedule. To characterize signal amplitudes and phase margins, the tester utilizes pin-driver, delay, and DAC chips, which control the amplitudes and delays of signals sent to the IC under test. Output signals from the IC under test go through window comparator chips to measure their levels. A probe card has been designed specifically to reduce pick-up noise that can affect the measurements. The system can operate at frequencies up to 100 MHz to study the speed limits of the digital circuitry before and after radiation damage. Testing requirements and design solutions …

A Study of Past, Present, and Future Radiation Dose Pathways from Hanford Site Effluents (open access)

A Study of Past, Present, and Future Radiation Dose Pathways from Hanford Site Effluents

The purpose of this study is to determine whether changes to Hanford operations, as well as changes in the regulatory environment, will require new approaches to ensure radiation protection of the public and the environment. This document discusses the applicable regulations that govern public radiation protection at DOE facilities, recent radiological assessments for members of the public near the Hanford Site, and possible new approaches that may be needed to assure that the Hanford Site can demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements for radiological protection of the public.

Structural characterization of terrestrial microbial Mn oxides from Pinal Creek, AZ (open access)

Structural characterization of terrestrial microbial Mn oxides from Pinal Creek, AZ

The microbial catalysis of Mn(II) oxidation is believed to be a dominant source of abundant sorption- and redox-active Mn oxides in marine, freshwater, and subsurface aquatic environments. In spite of their importance, environmental oxides of known biogenic origin have generally not been characterized in detail from a structural perspective. Hyporheic zone Mn oxide grain coatings at Pinal Creek, Arizona, a metals-contaminated stream, have been identified as being dominantly microbial in origin and are well studied from bulk chemistry and contaminant hydrology perspectives. This site thus presents an excellent opportunity to study the structures of terrestrial microbial Mn oxides in detail. XRD and EXAFS measurements performed in this study indicate that the hydrated Pinal Creek Mn oxide grain coatings are layer-type Mn oxides with dominantly hexagonal or pseudo-hexagonal layer symmetry. XRD and TEM measurements suggest the oxides to be nanoparticulate plates with average dimensions on the order of 11 nm thick x 35 nm diameter, but with individual particles exhibiting thickness as small as a single layer and sheets as wide as 500 nm. The hydrated oxides exhibit a 10-A basal-plane spacing and turbostratic disorder. EXAFS analyses suggest the oxides contain layer Mn(IV) site vacancy defects, and layer Mn(III) is inferred …

Food Safety on the Farm: Federal Programs and Selected Proposals (open access)

Food Safety on the Farm: Federal Programs and Selected Proposals

This report discusses bills introduced into the 110th Congress pertaining to food safety that could affect farmers and ranchers. Several of these bills would expressly have required enforceable on-farm safety standards. Others that focused primarily on post-harvest food safety measures nonetheless might have led to changes in on-farm practices if the regulated sectors (handlers and processors of agricultural products) placed new demands on their suppliers in order to comply. Similar proposals are re-emerging in the 111th Congress, where food safety reform is expected to be on the agenda.

DSDP3: dual scaling algorithm for general positive semidefinite programming. (open access)

DSDP3: dual scaling algorithm for general positive semidefinite programming.

We implement a dual scaling algorithm for positive semidefinite programming to handle a broader class of problems than could be solved with previous implementations of the algorithm. With appropriate representations of constraint matrices, we can solve general semidefinite programs and still exploit the structure of large-scale combinatorial optimization problems. Computational results show that our preliminary implementation is competitive with primal-dual solvers on many problems requiring moderate precision in the solution and is superior to primal-dual solvers for several types of problems.

Value-Added Tax as a New Revenue Source (open access)

Value-Added Tax as a New Revenue Source

MMARY Some Members of Congress have expressed interest in the feasibility of using a value-added tax (VAT) to either replace all or part of the income tax, finance health care reform, or to fund America’s war effort. A VAT is imposed at all levels of production on the differences between firms’ sales and their purchases from all other firms. Policymakers may be interested in the following aspects of a VAT: revenue yield, international comparison of composition of taxes, vertical equity, neutrality, inflation, balance-of-trade, national saving, administrative cost, intergovernmental relations, size of government, and public opinion.

A Value-Added Tax Contrasted with a National Sales Tax (open access)

A Value-Added Tax Contrasted with a National Sales Tax

Proposals to replace all or part of the income tax, proposals for national health care, and a proposal to finance America’s war effort have sparked congressional interest in the possibility of a broad-based consumption tax as a new source of revenue. A value-added tax (VAT) or a national sales tax (NST) have been frequently discussed as possible new tax sources. Both the VAT and the NST are taxes on the consumption of goods and services and are conceptually similar. Yet, these taxes also have significant differences. This issue brief discusses some of the potential policy implications associated with these differences.

Investigation of the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability (open access)

Investigation of the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability

The present research program is centered on the experimental and numerical study of the hydrodynamics of shock-accelerated spherical density inhomogeneities. These flows are part of a broader category of shock-induced mixing flows that play a critical role in the implosion of D-T pellets in laser-driven ICF experiments. For the past year, our work has consisted of both experimental and numerical activities which were presented at two conferences and resulted in the publication of one journal article and the submission of a second one. The papers from one of the conferences are inlcuded here.
