In a solid-state heat capacity laser (SSHCL), waste heat is stored in the lasing slabs, minimizing temperature gradients and optical distortions. After the maximum number of pulses is reached, the slabs are cooled or rapidly exchanged with cool slabs. During the past several years, our laboratory at LLNL has built a number of SSHCLs, demonstrating powers beyond 10 kW. In this paper, we model target interactions produced by a 10 kW device (500 J/pulse and 20 Hz), operating at a wavelength of 1.053 {micro}m. The laser contains 9 Nd:glass slabs pumped by flashlamps.

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an interview with James Brown. Brown joined the Navy in 1943. He served as an Apprentice Seaman with the deck force aboard the USS Zeilin (APA-3). From September of 1943 through the spring of 1945, he participated in landing troops at Tarawa, Kwajalein Atoll, New Guinea, the Philippines, and Iwo Jima. Brown returned to the US in April of 1945, and was discharged later in the year.

Models with low-scale breaking of global symmetries in the neutrino sector provide an alternative to the seesaw mechanism for understanding why neutrinos are light. Such models can easily incorporate light sterile neutrinos required by the LSND experiment. Furthermore, the constraints on the sterile neutrino properties from nucleosynthesis and large scale structure can be removed due to the non-conventional cosmological evolution of neutrino masses and densities. We present explicit, fully realistic supersymmetric models, and discuss the characteristic signatures predicted in the angular distributions of the cosmic microwave background.

Grain size is a critically important aspect of polycrystalline materials and experimental observations on Cu and Al polycrystals have shown that a Hall-Petchtype phenomenon does exist at the onset of plastic deformation. In this work, a parametric study is conducted to investigate the effect of microstructural and deformation-related length scales on the behavior of such FCC polycrystals. It relies on a recently proposed non-local dislocation-mechanics based crystallographic theory to describe the evolution of dislocation mean spacings within each grain, and on finite element techniques to incorporate explicitly grain interaction effects. Polycrystals are modeled as representative volume elements (RVEs) containing up to 64 randomly oriented grains. Predictions obtained from RVEs of Cu polycrystals with different grain sizes are shown to be consistent with experimental data. Furthermore, mesh sensitivity studies revealed that, when there is a predominance of geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs) relative to statistically-stored dislocations (SSDs), the polycrystal response becomes increasingly mesh sensitive. This was found to occur specially during the early stages of deformation in polycrystals with small grains.

This report describes the focusing solenoid for the proposed Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) [1]. The focusing solenoid consists of a pair of superconducting solenoids that are on a common bobbin. The two coils, which have separate leads, may be operated in the same polarity or at opposite polarity. This report discusses the superconducting magnet design and the cryostat design for the MICE focusing module. Also discussed is how this superconducting magnet can be integrated with a pair of small 4.2 K coolers.

Current designs for inertial confinement fusion capsules for the National Ignition Facility (NIF) consist of a solid deuterium-tritium (D-T) fuel layer inside of a copper doped beryllium capsule. Phase contrast enhanced x-ray imaging is shown to render the D-T layer visible inside the Be(Cu) capsule. Phase contrast imaging is experimentally demonstrated for several surrogate capsules and validates computational models. Polyimide and low density divinyl benzene foam capsules were imaged at the Advanced Photon Source synchrotron. The surrogates demonstrate that phase contrast enhanced imaging provides a method to characterize surfaces when absorption imaging cannot be used. Our computational models demonstrate that a rough surface can be accurately reproduced in phase contrast enhanced x-ray images.

The Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) for the CFFF for December 2003, January 2004 and February 2004 were prepared and submitted to the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation. In March 2004, the TDEC issued a revised Discharge Permit for the CFFF that will allow yearly rather than monthly DMRs. The new permit goes into effect on April 1, 2004. Groundwater testing and reporting to TDEC is required on a semi-annual basis. A sampling event took place in November 2003 and the report submitted in December. Due to typographical errors in the report it was reissued in January 2004. Reportable amounts of controlled water pollutants continue to be found in the groundwater well samples. For the last two years groundwater sampling has been conducted by TVG Environmental, Inc. of Nashville, TN. Quantum Environmental and Engineering Services of Knoxville, TN was recently awarded the state contract for environmental services, and they were contacted about providing this service for the CFFF for calendar year 2004. A purchase order was placed with Quantum in March, but was later canceled due to a pricing conflict. The May sampling event will be conducted by TVG Environmental, and bids will be solicited for future environmental services.
