Military Aircraft: Institute for Defense Analyses Purchase Price Estimate for the Air Force's Aerial Refueling Aircraft Leasing Proposal

Correspondence issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "On September 4, 2003, GAO provided the Senate Committee on Armed Services our observations on the Air Force's proposed lease of 100 Boeing 767 aircraft modified for aerial refueling, to be known as the KC-767A. At the hearing, the Committee heard testimony from the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) concerning the results of a study it did on the estimated acquisition cost of each aircraft. IDA concluded that $120.7 million was a reasonable price for a KC-767A aerial refueling aircraft. At the time of the hearing, we had just obtained access to the IDA study and were not in position to comment on it. On September 5, 2003, the Committee's Chairman and Ranking Minority Member asked us to analyze the IDA study and provide our assessment. This letter responds to that request. Our objectives were to assess the reasonableness of IDA's approach to the issue of pricing the KC-767A aircraft and to provide any comments that we had on its methodology used to estimate the base prices and costs for each aircraft."

Pair-Polarimeter for High Energy Protons (open access)

Pair-Polarimeter for High Energy Protons

The angle correlation in e{sup +}e{sup {minus}} pair production by linear polarized photon was proposed for photon polarization measurements by Yang and Berlin and Madansky. An accurate QED calculation with analysis of the possible experimental setup was done by L Maximon and H. Olsen. The effect was used successfully for measurement of the beam polarization. The limitation of the method at photon energies above 100 MeV arises from the small value of an angle between pair components. They propose a new polarimeter for high energy photons based on the well known correlation in electron-positron pair production from an amorphous converter. The detector design utilizes silicon micro-strip detectors that allow the construction of a compact device useful in the few GeV photon energy range. The most important features of these detectors are the capability to detect two tracks separated by a very small distance ({approximately} 100 microns) and very good position resolution, ({approximately} a few microns). Because the typical opening angle in e{sup +}e{sup {minus}} pair is about 1/{gamma} and available space for a polarimeter is about 1 meter, the distance e{sup +}e{sup {minus}} is about a fraction of mm. It means that at the photon energies of interest, most of …

Labs21 Environmental Performance Criteria: Toward 'LEED (trademark) for Labs' (open access)

Labs21 Environmental Performance Criteria: Toward 'LEED (trademark) for Labs'

Laboratory facilities present a unique challenge for energy efficient and sustainable design, with their inherent complexity of systems, health and safety requirements, long-term flexibility and adaptability needs, energy use intensity, and environmental impacts. The typical laboratory is about three to five times as energy intensive as a typical office building and costs about three times as much per unit area. In order to help laboratory stakeholders assess the environmental performance of their laboratories, the Labs21 program, sponsored by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the US Department of Energy, is developing the Environmental Performance Criteria (EPC), a point-based rating system that builds on the LEED(TM) rating system. Currently, LEED(TM) is the primary tool used to rate the sustainability of commercial buildings. However, it lacks some attributes essential to encouraging the application of sustainable design principles to laboratory buildings. Accordingly, the EPC has additions and modifications to the prerequisites and credits in each of the six sections of LEED(TM). It is being developed in a consensus-based approach by a diverse group of architects, engineers, consulting experts, health & safety personnel and facilities personnel. This report describes the EPC version 2.0, highlighting the underlying technical issues, and describes implications for the development …

FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS FOR INSTALLING A CIRCULATING FLUIDIZED BED BOILER FOR COFIRING MULTIPLE BIOFUELS AND OTHER WASTES WITH COAL AT PENN STATE UNIVERSITY (open access)

FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS FOR INSTALLING A CIRCULATING FLUIDIZED BED BOILER FOR COFIRING MULTIPLE BIOFUELS AND OTHER WASTES WITH COAL AT PENN STATE UNIVERSITY

The Pennsylvania State University, under contract to the U.S. Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory is performing a feasibility analysis on installing a state-of-the-art circulating fluidized bed boiler and ceramic filter emission control device at Penn State's University Park campus for cofiring multiple biofuels and other wastes with coal, and developing a test program to evaluate cofiring multiple biofuels and coal-based feedstocks. The objective of the project is being accomplished using a team that includes personnel from Penn State's Energy Institute, Office of Physical Plant, and College of Agricultural Sciences; Foster Wheeler Energy Services, Inc.; Parsons Energy and Chemicals Group, Inc.; and Cofiring Alternatives. During this reporting period, the final technical design and cost estimate were submitted to Penn State by Foster Wheeler. In addition, Penn State initiated the internal site selection process to finalize the site for the boiler plant.

Optimal use of information for measuring M(t) in lepton + jets t anti-t events (open access)

Optimal use of information for measuring M(t) in lepton + jets t anti-t events

The observation of the top (t) quark served as one of the major confirmations of the validity of the standard model (SM) of particle interactions. Through radiative corrections of the SM, the mass of the top quark, along with that of the W boson, provide the best indication for the value of the mass of the hypothesized Higgs boson. The mass of the W is known to a precision of < 0.1%, while the uncertainty on the mass of the top quark is at the 4% level. Improvements in both measurements are required to limit the range of mass that the Higgs boson can assume in the SM, and, of course, to check whether that agrees with expectation. It is therefore important to develop techniques for extracting the mass of the top quark that can provide the sharpest values possible.
