Laser heating of solid matter by light pressure-driven shocks

Description: Heating by irradiation of a solid surface in vacuum with 5 x 10{sup 20} W cm{sup -2}, 0.8 ps, 1.05 {micro}m wavelength laser light is studied by x-ray spectroscopy of the K-shell emission from thin layers of Ni, Mo and V. A surface layer is heated to {approx} 5 keV with an axial temperature gradient of 0.6 {micro}m scale length. Images of Ni Ly{sub {alpha}} show the hot region has a {approx} 25 {micro}m diameter, much smaller than {approx} 70 {micro}m region of K{sub {alpha}} emission. 2D parti… more

Nail-like targets for laser plasma interaction experiments

Description: The interaction of ultra-high power picosecond laser pulses with solid targets is of interest both for benchmarking the results of hybrid particle in cell (PIC) codes and also for applications to re-entrant cone guided fast ignition. We describe the construction of novel targets in which copper/titanium wires are formed into 'nail-like' objects by a process of melting and micromachining, so that energy can be reliably coupled to a 24 {micro}m diameter wire. An extreme-ultraviolet image of the i… more

Lattice gas simulations of one and two-phase fluid flows using the Connection Machine-2

Description: In this paper, we report recent lattice gas simulations for single-phase and two-phase flows for two dimensional problems using the Connection Machine-2. For the single-phase fluid problem, we use the standard 7-bit lattice gas model with the maximum collision rules. The velocity and vorticity field of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability is studied. It is shown that the lattice gas method preserves the main properties of the flow patterns observed in other numerical simulations. Using colored part… more

Proposal of a beam study in the AGS Booster

Description: IN order to achieve the design luminosity, the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) parameter choices emphasize the preservation of the transverse emittance requiring in the collider a normalized transverse emittance of 1 {pi}.mm.mrad. A stringent accelerator chain emittance budget must be maintained to achieve the final value. Budgeted emittance specifications for the Low Energy Booster (LEB) include 0.4 {pi}.mm.mrad at injection and {le} 0.6 {pi}.mm.mrad at extraction. The space-charge tune s… more

Computer simulation of the martensite transformation in a model two-dimensional body

Description: An analytical model of a martensitic transformation in an idealized body is constructed and used to carry out a computer simulation of the transformation in a pseudo-two-dimensional crystal. The reaction is assumed to proceed through the sequential transformation of elementary volumes (elementary martensitic particles, EMP) via the Bain strain. The elastic interaction between these volumes is computed and the transformation path chosen so as to minimize the total free energy. The model transfor… more

Tune shift effect due to the multipole longitudinal periodic structure in the superconducting dipole magnets

Description: Neglecting the curvature terms, the magnetic field and the vector potential which generate the multipole longitudinal periodic structure in a superconducting dipole magnet are found. Using this field and the standard Hamiltonian perturbation theory, the tune shifts due to this periodic pattern in the superconducting dipole magnets are estimated for the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) machine. The results suggest that this tune shift is very small for most of the multipoles and could be ign… more

Lattice gas automata for flow and transport in geochemical systems

Description: Lattice gas automata models are described, which couple solute transport with chemical reactions at mineral surfaces within pore networks. Diffusion in a box calculations are illustrated, which compare directly with Fickian diffusion. Chemical reactions at solid surfaces, including precipitation/dissolution, sorption, and catalytic reaction, can be examined with the model because hydrodynamic transport, solute diffusion and mineral surface processes are all treated explicitly. The simplicity an… more

Computer simulation of the formation of tweed and modulated structures in decomposition reactions

Description: A model of coarsening in a heterogeneous cubic alloy with cubic or tetragonal precipitates is proposed. According to the model the coarsening is controlled by the relaxation of the elastic strain energy. The computer simulation of coarsening demonstrates good agreement with electron microscopic observation of the structure and diffraction pattern.

Simulation studies of the transverse dipole mode multibunch instability for the SSC Collider

Description: A computer program that assumes a point-like structure of the bunches, called TADIMMI, has been devised to study the dipole mode multibunch instability in the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) Collider ring due to a single Positron-Electron Project (PEP) test rf cavity and the resistive wall. For the rf cavity, the following cases are considered: symmetric filling, where good agreement is obtained with ZAP code; nonsymmetric filling; elimination of the most dangerous mode of the cavity; De-Q… more

An imaging proton spectrometer for short-pulse laser plasma experiments

Description: Ultra intense short pulse laser pulses incident on solid targets can generate energetic protons. In additions to their potentially important applications such as in cancer treatments and proton fast ignition, these protons are essential to understand the complex physics of intense laser plasma interaction. To better characterize these laser-produced protons, we designed and constructed a novel, spatially imaging proton spectrometer that will not only measure proton energy distribution with high… more

Effect of fluid viscosity on coupled tube/fluid vibrations

Description: In many reactor system components, in order to accommodate thermal expansion and to facilitate assembly, very frequently there exist small gaps among various structural and mechanical components. The gaps are usually containing flowing viscous fluid to maintain temperature in a specific range. The fluid in the gap will affect the component dynamic characteristics. Two coaxial tubes separated by a viscous fluid are studied theoretically. The fluid forces acting on the tubes associated with small… more

Studies of electron and proton isochoric heating for fast ignition

Description: Isochoric heating of inertially confined fusion plasmas by laser driven MeV electrons or protons is an area of great topical interest in the inertial confinement fusion community, particularly with respect to the fast ignition (FI) proposal to use this technique to initiate burn in a fusion capsule. Experiments designed to investigate electron isochoric heating have measured heating in two limiting cases of interest to fast ignition, small planar foils and hollow cones.
