Hacia un medio ambiente más sano

Description: Over the past several years it has become increasingly clear that environmental hazards pose a particular threat to children. At the same time, we have deepened our understanding of how pollutants like mercury, lead, DDT, dioxins and other persistent organic pollutants are transported vast distances by wind, water or commerce. Given that children are increasingly being exposed to environmental contaminants of foreign origin through long-range transport of contaminants such as persistent organic… more

Hybrid Heat Capacity - Moving Slab Laser Concept

Description: A hybrid configuration of a heat capacity laser (HCL) and a moving slab laser (MSL) has been studied. Multiple volumes of solid-state laser material are sequentially diode-pumped and their energy extracted. When a volume reaches a maximum temperature after a ''sub-magazine depth'', it is moved out of the pumping region into a cooling region, and a new volume is introduced. The total magazine depth equals the submagazine depth times the number of volumes. The design parameters are chosen to prov… more

A study on D0 Run2b stave structural performance

Description: Two different structural solutions have been proposed and studied for the D0 Run2b stave (Figure 1 and Figure 3). The way the stave structural stiffness is achieved in both designs is essentially the same: the structural material is displaced as far as possible from the neutral axis in order to increase the bending moment of the stave. The agreement of the measured data with what has been theoretically predicted is excellent. The C channel stave with dog-bones glued on top of the sensor (stave … more

Interaction of Supernova Reminants with Interstellar Cloud: Experiments on the Nova Laser

Description: The interaction of strong shock waves, such as those generated by the explosion of supernovae with interstellar clouds, is a problem of fundamental importance in understanding the evolution and the dynamics of the interstellar medium (ISM) as it is disrupted by shock waves. Here we present the results of a series of Nova laser experiments investigating the evolution of a high density sphere embedded in a low density medium after the passage of a strong shock wave, thereby emulating the supernov… more

Thermal Decomposition of New and Aged LX-04 and PBX 9501

Description: One-Dimensional-Time-To-Explosion (ODTX) experiments were conducted to study the thermal decomposition of new and aged LX-04, PBX 9501, HMX class 1 and class 2, Estane and EstaneBDNPA-F (PBX 950 1 plasticized-binder) materials. New and aged LX-04 showed comparable decomposition kinetics. The data for aged PBX 9501 showed slightly longer explosion times at equivalent temperatures. Analysis of the error in time measurement is complicated by several experimental factors but the small time change a… more

Heat transfer on D Zero Run2b stave

Description: The temperature distribution on the silicon sensors and the cooling system performance for the D0 Run2b stave have been investigated. The tests have been carried out on a carbon fiber skin only stave, with and without heat input at two different chiller temperatures (-9.1 C and -19.1 C). For a bulk temperature of -14.5 C and a 14W total heat load, the stave surface has reached a peak temperature of +3.3 C, localized under the readout chip. The ''hot spot'' in the hybrid region extends about twi… more

Astrophysical and Astrochemical Insights into the Origin of Life

Description: Nucleosynthesis of heavy elements such as carbon in stars allowed the formation of organic molecules in space, which appear to be widespread in our Galaxy. The physical and chemical conditions - including density, temperature, ultraviolet radiation and energetic particles - determine reaction pathways and the complexity of organic molecules in different space environments. Dense interstellar clouds are the birth sites of stars of all masses and their planetary systems. During the protostellar c… more

Thick Liquid-Walled Spheromak Magnetic Fusion Power Plant

Description: We assume a spheromak configuration can be made and sustained by a steady gun current, which injects particles, current and magnetic field, i.e., helicity injection. The equilibrium is calculated with an MHD equilibrium code, where an average beta of 10% is found. The toroidal current of 40 MA is sustained by an injection current of 100 kA (125 MW of gun power). The flux linking the gun is 1/1000th that of the flux in the spheromak. The geometry allows a flow of liquid, either molten salt, (fli… more

Report on Transport and Loading of Explosives in the Femtosecond Tank, Room 1711A HEAF 00-010

Description: The current OSP associated with Room 1711A located in Building 191 (HEAF) sets a limit of 5 grams Net Explosive Weight (NEW) of explosives for the room. A question was raised as to the capability of that room to withstand the overpressure created by a detonation of 5 grams NEW of explosives. Calculations were inconclusive, but indicated the wallboard would not remain intact if there was a detonation of 5 grams NEW at a distance of eight feet from the wall. These calculations did not seem logica… more

A Measurement Technique to Determine the Sensitivity of Trained Dogs to Explosive Vapor Concentration

Description: Over the years canines have been used successfully to detect explosives. However, exactly what a canine detects in the many thousands of explosive formulations available is still not well understood. LLNL and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) studies over the past four years are beginning to provide better insight into this complex problem. One area that has been addressed is how low a molecular concentration of nitromethane explosive can a canine detect. Forty-one canine/handler t… more
