Induction Accelerator Buncher for Storage Rings (open access)

Induction Accelerator Buncher for Storage Rings

A separate induction accelerator buncher following after the storage rings is one of the options for final bunch compression. The other option is to apply the bunching voltage within the ring, but this requires a low-frequency, high gradient accelerating structure within the ring and a large aperture, which are difficult to do and undesirable. The induction accelerator buncher option here differs from the bunching function in a standard induction accelerator scenario in that here, a separate buncher is required, whereas in the induction linac the bunching function is accomplished by ramping the acceleration voltages near the end of the machine. This is a minor difference, but one that allows consideration of a bipolar buncher, which has no net acceleration. The other major difference is that the currents per beam to be bunched are smaller than in the straight induction linac, permitting use of transversely smaller, and hence less expensive, structures.

Laser intensity modulation by nonabsorbing defects (open access)

Laser intensity modulation by nonabsorbing defects

Nonabsorbing defects can lead to laser damage. Defects such as voids, microcracks, and localized stressed concentrations, even if they differ from the surrounding medium only by refractive index, can serve as positive or negative lenses for the incident laser light. The resulting interference pattern between refracted and diffracted light can result in intensity increases on the order of a factor of 2 some distance away from a typical negative microlens, and even larger for a positive microlens. Thus, the initial damage site can be physically removed from the defect which initiates damage. The parameter that determines the strength of such lensing is (Ka){sup 2}{Delta}{epsilon}, where the wavenumber K is 2{pi}/{lambda}, 2a is the linear size of the defect, and {Delta}{epsilon} is the difference in dielectric coefficient between matrix and scatterer. Thus, even a small change in refractive index results in a significant effect for a defect large compared to a wavelength. Geometry is also important. Three dimensional (e.g. voids) as well as linear and planar (e.g. cracks) microlenses can all have strong effects. This paper evaluates intensification due to spherical voids and high refractive index inclusions.

Magnetic force microscopy of single-domain cobalt dots patterned using interference lithography (open access)

Magnetic force microscopy of single-domain cobalt dots patterned using interference lithography

We have fabricated arrays of Co dots of diameters 100 and 70 nm using interference lithography. Density of these arrays is 7.2x10{sup 9}/in{sup 2}. Magnetic force microscopy indicate that the Co dots are single domain with moments that can be controlled to point either in-plane or out-of-plane. Interference lithography is a process that is easily scaled to large areas and is potentially capable of high throughput. Large, uniform arrays of single-domain structures are potentially useful for high-density, low-noise data storage.

Use of depleted uranium silicate glass to minimize release of radionuclides from spent nuclear fuel waste packages (open access)

Use of depleted uranium silicate glass to minimize release of radionuclides from spent nuclear fuel waste packages

A Depleted Uranium Silicate Container Backfill System (DUSCOBS) is proposed that would use small, isotopically-depleted uranium silicate glass beads as a backfill material inside repository waste packages containing spent nuclear fuel (SNF). The uranium silicate glass beads would fill the void space inside the package including the coolant channels inside SNF assemblies. Based on preliminary analysis, the following benefits have been identified. DUSCOBS improves repository waste package performance by three mechanisms. First, it reduces the radionuclide releases from SNF when water enters the waste package by creating a local uranium silicate saturated groundwater environment that suppresses (a) the dissolution and/or transformation of uranium dioxide fuel pellets and, hence, (b) the release of radionuclides incorporated into the SNF pellets. Second, the potential for long-term nuclear criticality is reduced by isotopic exchange of enriched uranium in SNF with the depleted uranium (DU) in the glass. Third, the backfill reduces radiation interactions between SNF and the local environment (package and local geology) and thus reduces generation of hydrogen, acids, and other chemicals that degrade the waste package system. Finally, DUSCOBS provides a potential method to dispose of significant quantities of excess DU from uranium enrichment plants at potential economic savings. DUSCOBS is a …

In situ calibration of the CMS HCAL detector (open access)

In situ calibration of the CMS HCAL detector

One serious challenge for hadron calorimeters is setting the absolute calibration. Electromagnetic calorimeters in a magnetic spectrometer have the momentum of electrons to calibrate against. In addition, at hadron colliders, Z supplies a narrow resonance to determine calibrations. No such well-measured processes have been available in the past for hadron calorimeters. In high energy collisions, high Pt hadrons are not normally isolated, rather appearing as part of jets. Contamination of the energy scale by unmeasured neutrals or by leakage from adjacent particles is always a concern. There are low cross section processes that possess jets of well understood energy, for example a high pt Z recoiling off of a single jet. The high energy and luminosity of the LHC may supply enough of these events for quantities useful for calibration. In this paper we outline the possibility for doing in situ calibration using Z recoiling off of a jet events, and {ital t{anti t}} events. We also comment on the more conventional possibilities of using muons and energy-flow to calibrate.

Radionuclide contaminated soil: Laboratory study and economic analysis of soil washing. Final report (open access)

Radionuclide contaminated soil: Laboratory study and economic analysis of soil washing. Final report

The objective of the work discussed in this report is to determine if soil washing is a feasible method to remediate contaminated soils from the Hazardous Waste Management Facility (HWMF) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). The contaminants are predominantly Cs-137 and Sr-90. The authors have assumed that the target activity for Cs-137 is 50 pCi/g and that remediation is required for soils having greater activities. Cs-137 is the limiting contaminant because it is present in much greater quantities than Sr-90. This work was done in three parts, in which they: estimated the volume of contaminated soil as a function of Cs-137 content, determined if simple removal of the fine grained fraction of the soil (the material that is less than 0.063 mm) would effectively reduce the activity of the remaining soil to levels below the 50 pCi/g target, assessed the effectiveness of chemical and mechanical (as well as combinations of the two) methods of soil decontamination. From this analysis the authors were then able to develop a cost estimate for soil washing and for a baseline against which soil washing was compared.

Plutonium production story at the Hanford site: processes and facilities history

This document tells the history of the actual plutonium production process at the Hanford Site. It contains five major sections: Fuel Fabrication Processes, Irradiation of Nuclear Fuel, Spent Fuel Handling, Radiochemical Reprocessing of Irradiated Fuel, and Plutonium Finishing Operations. Within each section the story of the earliest operations is told, along with changes over time until the end of operations. Chemical and physical processes are described, along with the facilities where these processes were carried out. This document is a processes and facilities history. It does not deal with the waste products of plutonium production.

No strings attached potential vs. interaction energy in QCD (open access)

No strings attached potential vs. interaction energy in QCD

In infrared-stable fixed-point field theories, the interaction energy of a test particle is proportional to the non-relativistic (heavy source) coordinate-space potential derived from the field strength produced by that source. This is no longer true in ultraviolet-stable fixed-point field theories (UVSFPFT) as they may not have a finite infrared fixed point. This leads to the possibility that UVSFPFTs may have quite conventional field strength distributions despite the unusual spatial dependence expected for the interaction energy.
