The Mercury Project: A High Average Power, Gas-Cooled Laser For Inertial Fusion Energy Development

Description: Hundred-joule, kilowatt-class lasers based on diode-pumped solid-state technologies, are being developed worldwide for laser-plasma interactions and as prototypes for fusion energy drivers. The goal of the Mercury Laser Project is to develop key technologies within an architectural framework that demonstrates basic building blocks for scaling to larger multi-kilojoule systems for inertial fusion energy (IFE) applications. Mercury has requirements that include: scalability to IFE beamlines, 10 H… more

SCC Initiation in Alloy 600 Heat Affected Zones Exposed to High Temperature Water

Description: Studies have shown that grain boundary chromium carbides improve the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) resistance of nickel based alloys exposed to high temperature, high purity water. However, thermal cycles from welding can significantly alter the microstructure of the base material near the fusion line. In particular, the heat of welding can solutionize grain boundary carbides and produce locally high residual stresses and strains, reducing the SCC resistance of the Alloy 600 type material in … more

FEASIBILITY OF HYDROGEN PRODUCTION USING LASER INERTIAL FUSION AS THE PRIMARY ENERGY SOURCE

Description: The High Average Power Laser (HAPL) program is developing technology for Laser IFE with the goal of producing electricity from the heat generated by the implosion of deuterium-tritium (DT) targets. Alternatively, the Laser IFE device could be coupled to a hydrogen generation system where the heat would be used as input to a water-splitting process to produce hydrogen and oxygen. The production of hydrogen in addition to electricity would allow fusion energy plants to address a much wider segmen… more

Mechanisms for Fatigue of Micron-Scale Silicon StructuralFilms

Description: Although bulk silicon is not susceptible to fatigue,micron-scale silicon is. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explainthis surprising behavior although the issue remains contentious. Here wedescribe published fatigue results for micron-scale thin siliconfilms andfind that in general they display similar trends, in that lower cyclicstresses result in larger number of cycles to failure in stress-lifetimedata. We further show that one of two classes of mechanisms is invariablyproposed to ex… more

Thermal Stability and Mechanical Behavior of Ultra-Fine Bcc Ta and v Coatings

Description: Ultra-refined microstructures of both tantalum (Ta) and vanadium (V) are produced using electron-beam evaporation and magnetron sputtering deposition. The thermal stability of the micron-to-submicron grain size foils is examined to quantify the kinetics and activation energy of diffusion, as well as identify the temperature transition in dominant mechanism from grain boundary to lattice diffusion. The activation energies for boundary diffusion in Ta and V determined from grain growth are 0.3 an… more

Overview of Tabletop X-ray Laser Development at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

Description: It is almost a decade since the first tabletop x-ray laser experiments were implemented at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). The decision to pursue the picosecond-driven schemes at LLNL was largely based around the early demonstration of the tabletop Ne-like Ti x-ray laser at the Max Born Institute (MBI) as well as the established robustness of collisional excitation schemes. These picosecond x-ray lasers have been a strong growth area for x-ray laser research. Rapid progress i… more

Investigation of the Rayleigh-Taylor and Richtmyer-Meshkov instabilities

Description: The present research program is centered on the experimental and numerical study of two instabilities that develop at the interface between two different fluids when the interface experiences an impulsive or a constant acceleration. The instabilities, called the Richtmyer-Meshkov and Rayleigh-Taylor instability, respectively, adversely affect target implosion in experiments aimed at the achievement of nuclear fusion by inertial confinement by causing the nuclear fuel contained in a target and t… more

The Use of Aryl Hydrazide Linkers for the Solid Phase Synthesis of Chemically Modified Peptides

Description: Since Merrifield introduced the concept of solid phase synthesis in 1963 for the rapid preparation of peptides, a large variety of different supports and resin-linkers have been developed that improve the efficiency of peptide assembly and expand the myriad of synthetically feasible peptides. The aryl hydrazide is one of the most useful resin-linkers for the synthesis of chemically modified peptides. This linker is completely stable during Boc- and Fmoc-based solid phase synthesis and yet it ca… more

Finding the Axion: The Search for the Dark Matter of the Universe

Description: The nature of dark matter has been a mystery for over 70 years. One plausible candidate is the axion, an extremely light and weakly interacting particle, which results from the Peccei-Quinn solution to the strong CP problem. In this proceedings I will briefly review the evidence for dark matter as well as the motivation for the existence of the axion as a prime dark matter candidate. I will then discuss the experimental methods to search for axion dark matter focusing on a sensitive cavity expe… more

Calculating Estate Tax Liability: 2001 to 2011 and Beyond

Description: This report provides a basic explanation of how to calculate the federal estate tax liability for a taxable estate of any given size, using the schedule of graduated marginal tax rates and the applicable exclusion amount or the applicable credit amount for the year of death. The “applicable exclusion amount” is the amount of any decedent’s taxable estate that is free from tax. It is known informally as the estate tax “exemption.” The “applicable credit amount” or “unified credit” is the corresp… more

Demonstration of reduced radiation losses in hohlraums made from cocktail mixtures by measuring increased radiation temperatures

Description: We present results from experiments, numerical simulations, and analytic modeling that demonstrate enhanced radiation confinement of hohlraums made from cocktail materials. We summarize the results from several previous planar sample experiments that showed the potential promise of cocktails. We then discuss a series of more recent hohlraum experiments that attempted to demonstrate enhanced radiation confinement. Once we understood the importance of oxygen contamination in increasing the specif… more
