NuMI proton beam diagnostics and control: achieving 2 megawatt capability (open access)

NuMI proton beam diagnostics and control: achieving 2 megawatt capability

The NuMI proton beam at Fermilab currently delivers 120 GeV protons to the neutrino production target with design beam power capability to 400 kW. Upgrade capability to 700 kW is being prepared, with planning toward delivering 2.3 MW beam provided by the Project X accelerator upgrade plan. We report on the system of beam diagnostics and control used in operation of the NuMI beam. Also considered are the steps to provide a robust system for transport and targeting beam of 2 MW and beyond.

Office of Inspector General Strategic Plan Fiscal Years 2009 through 2013 (open access)

Office of Inspector General Strategic Plan Fiscal Years 2009 through 2013

The Department of Energy (Department) Organization Act created the Department in October 1977. That law brought together for the first time, not only most of the government's energy programs, but also science and technology programs and defense responsibilities that included the design, construction, and testing of nuclear weapons. Over its history, the Department has shifted its emphasis and focus as the energy and security needs of the Nation have changed. Today, the Department stands at the forefront of helping the Nation meet our energy, scientific, environmental, and national security goals. The responsibility of the Office of Inspector General (OIG) is to ensure that the Department is: Fulfilling its program and operational goals effectively; Using its resources efficiently in this pursuit; Operating within the scope of its legislative mandates; Meeting the President's Management Agenda; and, Addressing Departmental priorities established by the Secretary. The OIG accomplishes this by performing audits, investigations, and inspections of the Department's programs and operations seeking to uncover existing or potential weaknesses that could result in fraud, waste, and abuse. This strategic plan reflects the vision for how the organization will move forward in the 21st century to ensure the Department continues to serve the American public safely, …

The optimization of a DC injector for the Energy Recovery Linac upgrade to APS (open access)

The optimization of a DC injector for the Energy Recovery Linac upgrade to APS

An energy recovery linac based light source is a potential revolutionary upgrade to the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory. The concept relies on several key research areas, one of which is the generation of ultra-low emittance, high-average-current electron beams. In this paper, we present our investigation of a dc-gun-based system for ultra-low emittance bunches in the 20 pC range. A parallel multi-objective numerical optimization is performed in multi-parameter space. Parameters varied include experimentally feasible drive-laser shapes, the DC gun voltage, the thermal energy of the emitted photo-electrons and other electric or magnetic field strengths, RF cavity phase etc. Our goal is to deliver a {approx}10 MeV, 20 pC bunch at the entrance of the linac with an emittance of 0.1 {micro}m or lower, rms bunch length of 2 {approx} 3 ps, and energy spread no larger than 140 keV. We present the machine parameters needed to generate such an injector beam, albeit without a merger.

Optimizing cavity gradients in pulsed Linacs using the cavity transient response (open access)

Optimizing cavity gradients in pulsed Linacs using the cavity transient response

In order to achieve beam intensity and luminosity requirements, pulsed LINAC accelerators have stringent requirements on the amplitude and phase of RF cavity gradients. The amplitude and phase of the RF cavity gradients under heavy beam loading must be kept constant within a fraction of a % and a fraction of a degree respectively. The current paper develops a theoretical method to calculate RF parameters that optimize cavity gradients in multi cavity RF units under heavy beam loading. The theory is tested with a simulation example.

Peer review of the National Transportation Safety Board structural analysis of the I-35W bridge collapse. (open access)

Peer review of the National Transportation Safety Board structural analysis of the I-35W bridge collapse.

The Engineering Sciences Center at Sandia National Laboratories provided an independent peer review of the structural analysis supporting the National Transportation Safety Board investigation of the August 1, 2007 collapse of the I-35W Bridge in Minneapolis. The purpose of the review was to provide an impartial critique of the analysis approach, assumptions, solution techniques, and conclusions. Subsequent to reviewing numerous supporting documents, a SNL team of staff and management visited NTSB to participate in analysis briefings, discussions with investigators, and examination of critical elements of the bridge wreckage. This report summarizes the opinion of the review team that the NTSB analysis effort was appropriate and provides compelling supporting evidence for the NTSB probable cause conclusion.

Petrophysical Analysis and Geographic Information System for San Juan Basin Tight Gas Reservoirs (open access)

Petrophysical Analysis and Geographic Information System for San Juan Basin Tight Gas Reservoirs

The primary goal of this project is to increase the availability and ease of access to critical data on the Mesaverde and Dakota tight gas reservoirs of the San Juan Basin. Secondary goals include tuning well log interpretations through integration of core, water chemistry and production analysis data to help identify bypassed pay zones; increased knowledge of permeability ratios and how they affect well drainage and thus infill drilling plans; improved time-depth correlations through regional mapping of sonic logs; and improved understanding of the variability of formation waters within the basin through spatial analysis of water chemistry data. The project will collect, integrate, and analyze a variety of petrophysical and well data concerning the Mesaverde and Dakota reservoirs of the San Juan Basin, with particular emphasis on data available in the areas defined as tight gas areas for purpose of FERC. A relational, geo-referenced database (a geographic information system, or GIS) will be created to archive this data. The information will be analyzed using neural networks, kriging, and other statistical interpolation/extrapolation techniques to fine-tune regional well log interpretations, improve pay zone recognition from old logs or cased-hole logs, determine permeability ratios, and also to analyze water chemistries and compatibilities within …

Phased Construction Completion Report for Bldg. K-1401 of the Remaining Facilities Demolition Project at the East Tennessee Technology Park, Oak Ridge, Tennessee

This Phased Construction Completion Report documents the demolition of Bldg. K-1401, Maintenance Building, addressed in the Action Memorandum for the Remaining Facilities Demolition Project at East Tennessee Technology Park, Oak Ridge, Tennessee (DOE 2003a) as a Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 non-time-critical removal action. The objectives of the removal action (DOE 2003a) - to eliminate the source of potential contamination, to eliminate the threat of potential future releases, and/or to eliminate the threats to the general public and the environment - were met. The end state of this action is for the slab to remain with all penetrations sealed and grouted or backfilled. The basement and pits remain open. There is residual radiological and polychlorinated biphenyl contamination on the slab and basement. A fixative was applied to the area on the pad contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls. Interim land-use controls will be maintained until final remediation decisions are made under the Zone 2 Record of Decision (DOE 2005a).

Preliminary Geospatial Analysis of Arctic Ocean Hydrocarbon Resources (open access)

Preliminary Geospatial Analysis of Arctic Ocean Hydrocarbon Resources

Ice coverage of the Arctic Ocean is predicted to become thinner and to cover less area with time. The combination of more ice-free waters for exploration and navigation, along with increasing demand for hydrocarbons and improvements in technologies for the discovery and exploitation of new hydrocarbon resources have focused attention on the hydrocarbon potential of the Arctic Basin and its margins. The purpose of this document is to 1) summarize results of a review of published hydrocarbon resources in the Arctic, including both conventional oil and gas and methane hydrates and 2) develop a set of digital maps of the hydrocarbon potential of the Arctic Ocean. These maps can be combined with predictions of ice-free areas to enable estimates of the likely regions and sequence of hydrocarbon production development in the Arctic. In this report, conventional oil and gas resources are explicitly linked with potential gas hydrate resources. This has not been attempted previously and is particularly powerful as the likelihood of gas production from marine gas hydrates increases. Available or planned infrastructure, such as pipelines, combined with the geospatial distribution of hydrocarbons is a very strong determinant of the temporal-spatial development of Arctic hydrocarbon resources. Significant unknowns decrease the …

Probing mSUGRA with a Search for Chargino-Neutralino Production using Trileptons (open access)

Probing mSUGRA with a Search for Chargino-Neutralino Production using Trileptons

This thesis describes the CDF II 2 fb{sup -1} search for supersymmetric chargino-neutralino production in {radical}s = 1.96TeV p{bar p} collisions using the 'golden' channel with three leptons and missing transverse energy in the final state and the application of the results to obtain a limit on the parameter space of the supersymmetric model mSUGRA. Electrons and muons are reconstructed directly; isolated tracks are used as a proxy for {tau} leptons. Several analysis channels with different signal purity are defined and evaluated independently. Based on 7 observed and 6.4 expected background events this analysis was able set the first direct limits on chargino-neutralino production in mSUGRA since LEP. Based on mSUGRA phenomenology the sensitivity of this analysis is investigated; the mSUGRA parameter space is split into different phenomenology classes. Experimental results from previous searches in this channel by CDF and D0 have been presented for specific parameter values of a given model. A more model-independent approach is proposed and, by splitting the results of this analysis into channels based on {tau} content, the results of the analysis are generalized.

Producao d Dijatos por Dupla Troca de Pomeron Exclusiva no Experimento D0

The first search for exclusive diffractive dijet production with invariant mass {approx}> 100 GeV in Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider is performed. The set of data used is the Run IIa, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 30 pb{sup -1} of p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.96 TeV taken with the D0 detector. At 95% CL, an upper limit for the ratio between the number of diffractive exclusive events and the number of non diffractive events is set to be 7.5 x 10{sup -6}, excluding two of the three models proposed to explain this production.
