Connecting Reionization to the Local Universe (open access)

Connecting Reionization to the Local Universe

We present results of combined N-body and three-dimensional reionization calculations to determine the relationship between reionization history and local environment in a volume 1 Gpc h{sup -1} across and a resolution of about 1 Mpc. We resolve the formation of about 2 x 10{sup 6} halos of mass greater than {approx} 10{sup 12} M{sub {circle_dot}} at z = 0, allowing us to determine the relationship between halo mass and reionization epoch for galaxies and clusters. For our fiducial reionization model, in which reionization begins at z {approx} 15 and ends by z {approx} 6, we find a strong bias for cluster-size halos to be in the regions which reionized first, at redshifts 10 < z < 15. Consequently, material in clusters was reionized within relatively small regions, on the order of a few Mpc, implying that all clusters in our calculation were reionized by their own progenitors. Milky Way mass halos were on average reionized later and by larger regions, with a distribution most similar to the global one, indicating that low mass halos are nearly uncorrelated with reionization when only their mass is taken as a prior. On average, we find that most halos with mass less than 10{sup …

High power impulse magnetron sputtering: Current-voltage-timecharacteristics indicate the onset of sustained self-sputtering (open access)

High power impulse magnetron sputtering: Current-voltage-timecharacteristics indicate the onset of sustained self-sputtering

The commonly used current-voltage characteristics are foundinadequate for describing the pulsed nature of the high power impulsemagnetron sputtering (HIPIMS) discharge, rather, the description needs tobe expanded to current-voltage-time characteristics for each initial gaspressure. Using different target materials (Cu, Ti, Nb, C, W, Al, Cr) anda pulsed constant-voltage supply it is shown that the HIPIMS dischargestypically exhibit an initial pressure dependent current peak followed bya second phase that is power and material dependent. This suggests thatthe initial phase of a HIPIMS discharge pulse is dominated by gas ionswhereas the later phase has a strong contribution from self-sputtering.For some materials the discharge switches into a mode of sustainedself-sputtering. The very large differences between materials cannot beascribed to the different sputter yields but they indicate thatgeneration and trapping ofsecondary electrons plays a major role forcurrent-voltage-time characteristics. In particular, it is argued thatthe sustained self-sputtering phase is associated with thegeneration ofmultiply charged ions because only they can cause potential emission ofsecondary electrons whereas the yield caused by singly charged metal ionsis negligibly small.

Observation and Polarization Measurement of B0 --> a1(1260) a1(1260)- Decay (open access)

Observation and Polarization Measurement of B0 --> a1(1260) a1(1260)- Decay

The authors present measurements of the branching fraction {Beta} and longitudinal polarization fraction f{sub L} for B{sup 0} {yields} a{sub 1}(1260){sup +} a{sub 1}(1260){sup -} decays, with a{sub 1}(1260){sup {+-}} {yields} {pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup {+-}}. The data sample, collected with the BABAR detector at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, represents 465 x 10{sup 6} produced B{bar B} pairs. They measure {Beta}(B{sup 0} {yields} a{sub 1}(1260){sup +} a{sub 1}(1260){sup -}) x [{Beta}(a{sub 1}(1260){sup +} {yields} {pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup +})]{sup 2} = (11.8 {+-} 2.6 {+-} 1.6) x 10{sup -6} and f{sub L} = 0.31 {+-} 0.22 {+-} 0.10, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The decay mode is measured with a significance of 5.0 standard deviations including systematic uncertainties.

Measurement of the Branching Fraction and Lambda-bar Polarization in B0 -> Lambda-par p pi- (open access)

Measurement of the Branching Fraction and Lambda-bar Polarization in B0 -> Lambda-par p pi-

We present a measurement of the B{sup 0} {yields} {bar {Lambda}}p{pi}{sup -} branching fraction performed using the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric e{sup +}e{sup -} collider. Based on a sample of 467 x 10{sup 6} B{bar B} pairs we measure {Beta}(B{sup 0} {yields} {bar {Lambda}}p{pi}{sup -}) [3.07 {+-} 0.31(stat.) {+-} 0.23(syst.)] x 10{sup -6}. The measured differential spectrum as a function of the dibaryon invariant mass m({bar {Lambda}}p) shows a near-threshold enhancement similar to that observed in other baryonic B decays. We study the {bar {Lambda}} polarization as a function of {bar {Lambda}} energy in the B{sup 0} rest frame (E*{sub {bar {Lambda}}}) and compare it with theoretical expectations of fully longitudinally right-polarized {bar {Lambda}} at large E*{sub {bar {Lambda}}}.

Clean Energy Technologies: A Preliminary Inventory of the Potential for Electricity Generation (open access)

Clean Energy Technologies: A Preliminary Inventory of the Potential for Electricity Generation

The nation's power system is facing a diverse and broad set of challenges. These range from restructuring and increased competitiveness in power production to the need for additional production and distribution capacity to meet demand growth, and demands for increased quality and reliability of power and power supply. In addition, there are growing concerns about emissions from fossil fuel powered generation units and generators are seeking methods to reduce the CO{sub 2} emission intensity of power generation. Although these challenges may create uncertainty within the financial and electricity supply markets, they also offer the potential to explore new opportunities to support the accelerated deployment of cleaner and cost-effective technologies to meet such challenges. The federal government and various state governments, for example, support the development of a sustainable electricity infrastructure. As part of this policy, there are a variety of programs to support the development of ''cleaner'' technologies such as combined heat and power (CHP, or cogeneration) and renewable energy technologies. Energy from renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydro, and biomass, are considered carbon-neutral energy technologies. The production of renewable energy creates no incremental increase in fossil fuel consumption and CO{sub 2} emissions. Electricity and thermal energy production …

Oral History Interview with Charles Bebell, August 3, 2002

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an interview with Charles Bebell. Bebell joined the Navy in 1943. Beginning June of 1944, he served as Boatswain’s Mate and Fire Controlman aboard USS Hollandia (CVE-97). They traveled between the US and Navy bases in the Pacific, including Guam, transporting needed supplies and passengers. In April of 1945, they operated off the Okinawan coast, sending fighters to support the advancing troops. In May, they returned troops to San Diego. In June, they loaded replacement aircraft at Pearl Harbor and operated with the Third Fleet’s logistic supply unit. Bebell decommissioned the Hollandia and was discharged in January of 1947.

Country-of-Origin Labeling for Foods (open access)

Country-of-Origin Labeling for Foods

The 2002 farm bill (P.L. 107-171) as modified by the FY2004 USDA appropriation (P.L. 108-199) requires country-of-origin labeling (COOL) for fresh produce, red meats, and peanuts starting September 30, 2006, and for seafood starting September 30, 2004. The House Agriculture Committee approved on July 21, 2004, a bill (H.R. 4576) to make COOL voluntary. Some lawmakers still support a mandatory program, especially after recent discoveries of “mad cow” disease in a Canadian and a U.S. cow (the latter from Canada). Others counter that COOL is a marketing, not an animal or human health, issue and should be voluntary.
