Analytical study and tracking simulations of the beam-beam compensation at Tevatron (open access)

Analytical study and tracking simulations of the beam-beam compensation at Tevatron

Head-on and long-range induced tunespread of about 0.025 in the Tevatron collider at Run II (together with the increased strength of the resonances) can significantly deteriorate the {bar p} lifetime and the collider luminosity. It was proposed to employ the so-called Tevatron Electron Lenses (TEL) to compress the beam-beam footprint and eliminate completely the bunch-to-bunch tunespread (PACMAN effect) for small amplitude particles. The first lens has been recently installed and tested [1]. This report presents results of analytical studies and tracking simulations of the linear beam-beam compensation (elimination of the bunch-to-bunch tune variation). Compression of the beam-beam footprint (nonlinear compensation) is discussed in [2].

Aquifer Transport of Th, U, Ra, and Rn In Solution and Colloids (open access)

Aquifer Transport of Th, U, Ra, and Rn In Solution and Colloids

The ability to safely store radioactive materials for long periods of time depends on our understanding of the conditions that mobilize the nuclei, which requires an understanding of the mechanisms of dissolution and transport in aquifers. The objective of this research was to gain an understanding of the dissolution and transport of naturally occurring uranium, thorium, and their radioactive daughter products in groundwater systems without using injected tracers or accidental contaminants. The study involved analyses of groundwater in and around the Brookhaven National Laboratory site and the water supply system. A theoretical model of continuous flow was developed considering chemical, physical, and geologic properties. This is the first model of water transport in the vadose zone and the groundwater table with water-rock interactions supplying insight into the problems of mobilization and precipitation. We derived clear theoretical predictions on U and Th behavior in groundwater. The combination of sound theory and good data was successful. Most of the variation in uranium isotopes was due to the original imprint of near-surface weathering and not to water-rock reactions at depth. It was shown that high radon content was not due to micropores in the minerals but a reflection of thorium precipitation on surfaces …

Beam-beam interactions at the Tevatron in Run IIa (open access)

Beam-beam interactions at the Tevatron in Run IIa

The Tevatron in Run IIa will operate with three trains of twelve bunches each. The impact of the long-range interactions on beam stability will be more significant compared to Run I. We study these beam-beam interactions (head-on and long-range) with particle tracking using two different codes. The model includes machine nonlinearities such as the field errors of the Interaction Region quadrupoles and the chromaticity sextupoles. Tune footprints and dynamic apertures are calculated for different bunches in a train.

Benchmarking residual dose rates in a NuMI-like environment (open access)

Benchmarking residual dose rates in a NuMI-like environment

Activation of various structural and shielding materials is an important issue for many applications. A model developed recently to calculate residual activity of arbitrary composite materials for arbitrary irradiation and cooling times is presented in the paper. Measurements have been performed at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory using a 120 GeV proton beam to study induced radioactivation of materials used for beam line components and shielding. The calculated residual dose rates for the samples studied behind the target and outside of the thick shielding are presented and compared with the measured ones. Effects of energy spectra, sample material and dimensions, their distance from the shielding, and gaps between the shielding modules and walls as well as between the modules themselves were studied in detail.

Benefits of Qualitative Simulation for Managing Fluctuating Staffing Needs (open access)

Benefits of Qualitative Simulation for Managing Fluctuating Staffing Needs

Management of the High Level Waste Program Office at the Idaho National Environmental and Engineering Laboratory has projected oscillating future employment levels. A simple computer model was created to help convince management that qualitative modeling of ''soft'' variables can provide appreciable insight into the consequences and performance of alternative staffing policies. Advocacy of the model underlying the simulation or a particular strategy did not motivate the study, but rather a desire to instill enthusiasm and elicit new and improved conceptual models from management. Six qualitative and three quantitative generic insights to managing staffing levels are gained from the simulations. These insights in their generic form should be familiar to those knowledgeable of system dynamics or computer/instrument process control. Their potential usefulness to developing staffing strategies is stressed. The two primary overarching assertions that flow from the simulation results are: (1) the presence of multiple feedbacks, time delays, and continuous flows introduce instability into a personnel system that complicates the management of staffing levels. Many times ''soft'' variables, such as morale, productivity, and efficiency are the sources of such influences; and (2) such influences can be successfully modeled. In the case of the simple model used in these simulations, for example, …

The BigHorn Home Improvement Center; Silverthorne, Colorado

The BigHorn Home Improvement Center in Silverthorne, Colorado, was designed using a whole-building approach, looking at the way that the building's site, windows, walls, floors, electrical, and mechanical systems could work together most efficiently. The center includes a hardware store and building materials warehouse space, and features a 9.0 kw photovoltaic system to provide an average of 25% of the building's electricity. The BigHorn Center is one of the nation's first commercial buildings to integrate daylighting and natural ventilation cooling systems into a retail space. It is expected to reduce energy costs by 62% compared to conventionally designed retail buildings.
