The role of catalyst precursor anions in coal gasification. Final technical report, September 1991--June 1994

Description: The utilization of coal is currently limited by several factors, including the environmental impacts of coal use and the lack of cost-effective technologies to convert coal into useful gaseous and liquid products. Several catalysts have been evaluated for coal gasification and liquefaction. The activities of the catalysts are dependent on many factors such as the method of catalyst addition to the coal and the catalyst precursor type. Since catalyst addition to coal is frequently conducted in a… more

Investigation of combined SO{sub 2}/NO{sub x} removal by ceria sorbents. Quarterly technical progress report, October--December, 1994

Description: Simultaneous removal of SO{sub 2} and NO{sub x} using a regenerable solid sorbent will constitute an important improvement over the use of separate processes for the removal of these two pollutants from stack gases and possibly eliminate several shortcomings of the individual SO{sub 2} and NO{sub x} removal operations. Recent studies at PETC considered cerium oxide as an alternate sorbent to CuO. The present study aims to determine the effects of ammonia on the sulfation of the sorbent and to o… more

National Strategic Challenges and the Role of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

Description: The end of the Cold War was a water-shed event in history--an event that calls for re-evaluation of the basic assumptions and priorities of US national security that have gone essentially unchallenged for nearly 50 years. Central to this re-evaluation are the changing needs for federal Science and Technology (S and T) investment to underpin national and economic security and the role of the Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories in fulfilling those needs. The three nuclear weapons lab… more

Limitations for heterodyne detection of Brillouin scattered light

Description: One means by which elastic properties of a material may be determined is measuring sound wave velocities in the material, from which elastic moduli of interest can be computed. Velocity can be measured by conventional piezoelectric transduction techniques, by applying laser ultrasonics, or by using Brillouin-scattering methods. Brillouin-scattering techniques for determining the sound wave velocity are particularly attractive since they are completely noninvasive. Only a probe beam of light is … more

Integrated structural control design of large space structures

Description: Active control of structures has been under intensive development for the last ten years. Reference 2 reviews much of the identification and control technology for structural control developed during this time. The technology was initially focused on space structure and weapon applications; however, recently the technology is also being directed toward applications in manufacturing and transportation. Much of this technology focused on multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) identification and co… more

Change to the D0 Luminosity Monitor Constant

Description: The D0 experiment has previously calculated its luminosities using a visible cross section (luminosity monitor constant) for its Level 0 trigger, {sigma}{sub L0} = 42.9 mb based on the E710 inelastic cross section measurements. Recently, CDF has also published inelastic cross section measurements markedly different from E710. The D0 experiment has moved to world average inelastic cross sections at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV. The result changes the D0 visible cross section to {sigma}{sub L0} = 48.2 mb… more

Tevatron proton injection kicker waveform analysis

Description: On July 25, 1995 a shift of Tevatron beam studies was devoted to examining the shape of the E17 kicker waveform. The purpose of this study was to determine how the kicker may effect the emittance of the Protons once collider operation changed to 36 bunch operation. The kicker was setup to give the most uniform flattop with approximately the correct flattop length. To do this, all 22 cells of the pulse forming network were connected and the predets for the tube timing were set as follows: Main =… more

Recipes for high resolution time-of-flight detectors

Description: The authors discuss the dynamics, construction, implementation and benefits of a time-of-flight (TOF) detector with count rates an order of magnitude higher and resolution three to four times better than that obtainable with a surface barrier detector. The propose use of design criteria for a time-of-flight detector is outlined, and the determination of a TOF detector`s total relative timing error and how this value determines the mass resolution are illustrated using a graphical analysis. They… more
