Analysis for Eccentric Multi Canister Overpack (MCO) Drops at the Canister Storage Building (CSB) (CSB-S-0073)

Description: Multi-Canister Overpacks (MCOs) containing spent nuclear fuel (SNF) will be routinely handled at the Canister Storage Building (CSB) during fuel movement operations in the SNF Project. This analysis was performed to investigate the potential for damage from an eccentric accidental drop onto the standard storage tube, overpack tube, service station, or sample/weld station. Appendix D was added to the FDNW document to include the peer Review Comment Record & transmittal record.

The BTeV Trigger System

Description: BTeV is a dedicated beauty and charm experiment proposed for the Fer- milab Tevatron. The broad physics program envisaged for BTeV requires a trigger that is efficient for a wide variety of heavy-quark decays, includ- ing those to all-hadronic final states. To achieve this, we plan to trigger on evidence of detached vertices at the very first trigger level, taking ad- vantage of fast-readout pixel detectors to facilitate fast pattern recognition. Simulations show that 100-to-1 rejection of ligh… more

CBI/NAFTA Parity Proposals: A Comparison

Description: The tariff and quota treatment of U.S. imports from Mexico under the North American Free Trade Agreement has resulted in a distinct and increasing competitive disadvantage for imports from the beneficiary countries of the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (CBERA). To eliminate this disadvantage, proposals have been made to extend to imports from Caribbean Basin countries preferential treatment equivalent to that accorded imports of identical goods from Mexico. This report compares the provi… more

Development and Design of a User Interface for a Computer Automated Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning System

Description: A user interface is created to monitor and operate the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system. The interface is networked to the system's programmable logic controller. The controller maintains automated control of the system. The user through the interface is able to see the status of the system and override or adjust the automatic control features. The interface is programmed to show digital readouts of system equipment as well as visual queues of system operational statuses. It al… more

Estimating root-zone moisture and evapotranspiration with AVHRR data[Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer]

Description: The parameterized subgrid-scale surface fluxes (PASS) model uses satellite data and limited surface observations to infer root-zone available moisture content and evapotranspiration rate with moderate spatial resolution over extended terrestrial areas. The ultimate goal of this work is to produce estimates of water loss by evapotranspiration, for application in hydrological models. The major advantage to the method is that it can be applied to areas having diverse surface characteristics where … more

The heavy hybrid spectrum from NRQCD and the Born-Oppenheimer approximation

Description: The spectrum of heavy-quark hybrids is studied in the leading Born-Oppenheimer (LBO) approximation and using leading-order NRQCD simulations with an improved gluon action on anisotropic lattices. The masses of four hybrid states are obtained from our simulations for lattice spacings 0.1 fm and 0.2 fm and are compared to the LBO predictions obtained using previously-determined glue-excited static potentials. The consistency of results from the two approaches reveals a compelling physical picture… more

Milestone Report for High NA Optics Development International Sematech Project L1TH 112 Milestone4a: Specification Package for the Polished Mirror Substrate M1

Description: The key task in initiating the fabrication of mirror substrates for the new High NA Camera is in preparing the specification package that details the substrate geometry and the specifications for the optical surface. This specification package has been completed for substrate M1, and the vendor has begun optical fabrication. In addition, mounting hardware has been designed and fabricated, and substrates have been bonded to the kinematic mounts. The design of the secondary substrate, M2, is unde… more

New developments in photdectection in particle physics and nuclear physics

Description: Photodetectors are widely used in particle and nuclear physics research. Since the beginning of the modern era of photoelectric transducers in the late 1930�s, many types of devices have been developed and exploited for physics research. New performance requirements arising in physics experiments have often provided very interesting technological drivers for industry. New ideas for photo-detection are rapidly adapted by the physics community to enable more powerful experimental capabilities. Th… more

On the dry deposition of submicron particles

Description: The air-surface exchange of particles can have a strong role in determining the amount, size, and chemical composition of particles in the troposphere. Here the authors consider only dry processes (deposition processes not directly aided by precipitation) and mostly address particles less than about 2 {micro}m in diameter (often referred to as submicron particles because most of such particles are less than 1 {micro}m in diameter). The processes that control the dry exchange of particulate mate… more

Optimization of a readout architecture for pixel detectors

Description: This paper analyzes in detail some theoretical aspects in the modeling of a readout architecture for pixel detectors. In fact, these problems are common to the design of data acquisition systems and other processes containing buffers and where the input and output signals can be expressed by probability density functions. It is the purpose of this paper to point out that the same type of analysis can be extended to other systems with the benefit of saving time in long Montecarlo simulations and… more

The potential for reducing energy utilization in the refining industry

Description: The paper first discusses energy use in petroleum refineries and CO{sub 2} emissions because of the fuels used. Then the paper looks at near-, mid-, and long-term opportunities for energy reduction. Some of the options are catalysts, cooling water recycling, steam system efficiency, and the use of coke and petroleum residues.

Short note on undulator alignments and beam tolerances for the APS FEL at 220 MeV

Description: The APS FEL consists of a series of undulators that must be carefully aligned for optimum gain and high spectral output. In order to get a better understanding of acceptable tolerance levels for undulator alignments and for the electron beam, the authors have performed computer calculations to simulate misalignments of one undulator (undulator number 2) with respect to adjacent undulators and to check the sensitivity to unmatched beam parameters ({alpha} and {beta}) at the entrance and to a non… more

A software system for measurement of accelerator magnets using a relational database

Description: Two major upgrades to the Fermilab accelerator complex required the measurement of magnetic field strength and shape for a large number of electromagnets and permanent magnets. This paper describes the software system developed at Fermilab to measure these magnets. The data produced by this system was used to feed back information to the magnet design and fabrication process, as well as to help in determining magnet placement within the accelerator. The central framework of the measurement soft… more
