- (Physics Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN.)
- M.A. Janney
- (Metals and Ceramics Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory)

## Electrolytic Targets for Radioactive Ion Beam Generation

- Introduction to super-ionic conductors
- Concept of an electrolytic target / catcher
- Target material characterization apparatus
- Diffusion measurement of O in ZrO2 / Y2O3 (x=0.1)
- Diffusion measurements of F in ZrO2 / Y2O3 (x=0.1) under an applied electric field (initial data)

## Super ionic conductivity in solids

**Solid is a crystal formed with ionic bonds**
**High electrical conductivities (1-10****-4**** (******** cm)****-1****)**
**Ionic transference numbers ~1 (negligible electron conduction)**
**High diffusivity as a result of**
**High concentration of thermally generated lattice defects**
**High mobility across a molten sublattice**

## Partial list of elements employed as super ionic conductors 

- Host materials

- Mobile species

## High Temperature Anionic ConductorsOxides of Zr, Te, La, Hf, Bi, Ce, Th and U

- Typically, oxides of quadrivalent cations such as Zr, Hf, Ce, U, Te and Th are employed.  These species become strong ionic conductors when formed into a  solid solution with lower valent oxides of Y, Sc, Mg, Ca, etc.  This stabilizes a cubic fluorite structure containing a large quantity of anionic vacancies.

## Some technological applications of solid oxide electrolytes

**Chemical Sensor**

**Oxygen Pumping Cell**

**Fuel Cell**

## Example of electrolytic transport:Ionic drift velocity of O through ZrO2 / Y2O3 (x=0.1)

## Electrochemical and thermal release efficiencies of O from a 1 mm slab of ZrO2 / Y2O3 (x=0.1) (1D calc.)

**Electrochemical and thermal release efficiencies of O from a 1 mm slab of ZrO****2**** / Y****2****O****3**** (x=0.1) ****(1D calc.)**

- Half-life of RIB species (s)

- Release efficiency (y)

- Thermal transport: D~10-7 cm2/s

- Electrochemical transport: v=5V

## Possible  advantages of an electrolytic target

**Higher intensities** of RIBs already produced through conventional ISOL methods by eliminating the porous structure of the target:
- more efficient transfer of heat within target material (larger production beam currents)
- more efficient transfer of heat to a sink (larger production beam currents)
- Significantly reduced effusive delay losses (Reduction in the target’s surface area by a factor of ~ 104:  m2cm2 )
- Access to **shorter-lived species** than currently available using the traditional ISOL technique
- For example, using thinner, multiple electrode segmented targets
- Very fast diffusion and electrochemical transport of fission products from an actinide target
- Serve as a **non-gaseous catcher** for next generation facilities
- Possibility of **surface ionization** directly from the target material
- Species selective **‘gate’** for elimination of isobars and unwanted vapors into the ion source (e.g. gate for 18F from Ne gas )

## One Minute for Security: Social Engineering

- DOE Labs (including LBL) have been targeted by social engineering attacks.
- CDs delivered to employees that claimed to contain “Helpful DOE Policies and Directives” and actually contained the policies... plus a trojan program that allowed the attackers to take over the computer.
- Emails that claimed to provide important security updates, or offered the employee the chance to be featured in “The View”, and actually contained malicious programs.
- Think Twice and Don’t Get Caught Like a Phish
- If you ever get anything you’re suspicious of... especially if it looks like it’s targeted at LBL or at you, don’t open it and most importantly..
- Report It.  Don’t just delete it.  If you got it others probably did too, reporting it might save them!

# Presentation: 028980

## INTERFACIAL CREEP IN THIN FILM INTERCONNECT STRUCTURES IN MICRO-SYSTEMS (MET DMR 0513874)

- PI : Indranath Dutta, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA

**WHY?**
-  Thin film interconnect lines in microelectronic  devices (chips) are subjected to shear stresses,   high temperatures and large current densities
-  Under these conditions, thin film interfaces can  slide, severely **limiting the reliability** of chips
-  Electromigration (EM) may enhance or limit sliding
-  Interfacial sliding (IS) in thin films, and its   interaction with EM is not understood at present

- Photo of sample for interfacial sliding studies

- Cross-section of a Cu interconnect line at the back-end of a microelectronic device after 100 cycles between 298-398K, and after 100 cycles between 232K and 398K.  Note shear distortion of the line following cycling.

**GOAL**
-  Study interaction between interfacial sliding and its  interaction with EM via experiments & modeling

**KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS**
-  Developed sample design, apparatus and methodology  to measure interfacial sliding (IS) displacements
-  Developed model for interaction between IS & EM
-  1 journal article published, one in preparation

- Modeling results show that  interfacial sliding may be substantially enhanced or reduced by superimposed electromigration

## INTERFACIAL CREEP IN THIN FILM STRUCTURES ...... MET DMR 0513874:  PI : Indranath Dutta, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA

**TRAINING**
-  1 graduate student (Michael Burkhard) is participating in   experimental work; he has been trained in mechanical    testing, thin film processing, semiconductor etching, and   electron microscopy
-  2 post-doctoral associates, Drs. R. Guduru and T. Chen, are  conducting experiments and modeling, respectively

**OUTREACH**
-  Mr. Kyle Yazzie (sophomore at MIT) interned with Prof. Dutta at NPS (through an MIT externship program) in  January 2006 and learnt about electromigration measurements and mechanical testing
-  Mr. Scot Johnson (high school Physics teacher at York School, Monterey, CA) interned with Prof. Dutta during  June-July 2006, conducted experiments, and developed a lesson module on Electromigration. This module will  be used as part of his AP Physics lectures in York starting this year.

**INTERFACIAL CREEP IN THIN FILM STRUCTURES ......** MET DMR 0513874:  PI : Indranath Dutta, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA

**INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION**

## A Perspective on ENUM

- J. Scott Marcus
- Senior Advisor for Internet Technology
- Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
- The opinions expressed are my own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the FCC or the U.S. Government.

## ENUM

- A contentious issue
- One tree or many?
- US participation in the ITU process
- Domestic implementation of a globally coordinated ENUM tree
- Troublesome Issues
- Ongoing activities

## Pandora’s Box

- The Internet versus the PSTN
- Global Internet versus national numbering plans
- ITU versus IETF
- Free market mechanisms versus government regulation
- Incumbents versus insurgents
- Centralized versus decentralized control

## One ENUM Tree or Many?

- IETF RFC 2916 assumes one tree rooted at e164.arpa.
- Some governments prefer a different root, or worry about how to resolve disputes
- Competitive ENUM providers are creating similar trees at other roots.
- For a search to involve a large number of uncoordinated trees is probably bad - consistency and performance issues.
- One plausible model that has been suggested by early adopters is private registration for multinational corporations, with resolvers that check a global ENUM tree for numbers that do not appear in the private tree.

## U.S. Industry Recommendation

- Developed by ITAC-T Advisory Committee to Department of State.
- Recommends that the U.S. participate in a global ENUM implementation rooted at e164.arpa.
- Notes the need for open competition, especially at ENUM Tier 2, and recognizes that other ENUM domains are not precluded.

## Position of U.S. ITU Delegation

- Supportive of a global tree under e164.arpa
- Recognition of sovereign rights of nations to choose to “opt in” or not
- Allow for competition wherever possible
- Promote interworking between different approaches and systems
- Cooperation between IETF and ITU
- Market-based system with minimal regulatory intervention
- Must not be inconsistent with
- competition in telecommunications
- encouragement of innovation
- promotion of advanced data services

## Domestic Implementation

- Study Group A process relates to the international responsibilities of the Department of State.
- U.S. goal is to ensure that international agreements provide a sound framework for U.S. implementation.
- Domestic implementation is, however, a separate issue, and would likely require different public participation procedures and a different implementing agency.
- Potential roles for the U.S. Government in the creation or maintenance of a global, coordinated ENUM tree could include:
- Designation of one or more Tier 1 registries for U.S. area codes within country code 1.
- Coordination with other country code 1 participants.

## Troublesome Issues

- Security
- Privacy
- SPAM
- Slamming
- Identity theft / hijacking
- Telephone number portability
- Ability of third-party registrars to obtain necessary information from telephone number providers
- And more...

## Ongoing Activities

- ITU Study Group 2 (technical standards)
- ENUM Forum
- Study Group A (State Department)
- IAB / IETF / RIPE NCC

## Overview : Relevant Provisions of PDMA

- William A. McConagha
- Associate Chief Counsel
- U.S. Food & Drug Administration

## Overview : PDMA

- Prescription Drug Marketing Act (1988)
- Purpose of PDMA:
- Ensure that Rx drugs sold in U.S. are safe and effective
- Increase safeguards to prevent introduction and retail sale of substandard, ineffective, or counterfeit drugs

## Overview : PDMA

- Two key provisions for today’s discussion:
- Licensure requirement for wholesale distributors of Rx drugs
- 	[21 USC 353(e)(2)(A)]
- Statement of Origin, aka “Pedigree” requirements
- 	[21 USC 353(e)(1)(A)]

## Overview : PDMA

- Pedigree Requirement:
- Each person who is engaged in the wholesale distribution of Rx drugs and who is *not *the manufacturer or authorized distributor of record, shall, prior to each wholesale distribution of such drug, provide a statement to the person who receives the drug identifying each prior sale, purchase or trade of such drug
- 	[21 USC 353(e)(2)(A)]

## Overview : PDMA

- The FFDCA defines *authorized distributor of record* as a distributor with whom a manufacturer has established an “ongoing relationship.”
- 	[21 USC 353(e)(3)(A)]

## Overview : PDMA

- FDA final rule implementing Rx drug pedigree requirements (Dec. 1999) -
- 	[21 CFR 203]
- 203.3(u): “Ongoing relationship” defined to include a *written *agreement between manufacturer and wholesaler
- 203.50: specifies the information to be included in the drug pedigree; information to be traceable back to 1st sale by manufacturer

## Overview : PDMA

- Concerns raised by industry and Congress regarding the rulemaking prompted FDA to stay the effective date of certain provisions
- FDA held a Public Hearing in October of 2000 to hear from affected industry components
- FDA Report to Congress 2001 – stay extended until April 2004

## Overview : PDMA	

- Staying the effective date of 21 CFR 203.3(u) and 203.50 preserved the *status quo* as it existed before publication of the final rule in 1999
- The stays relate solely to the provisions in the final rule
- The pedigree requirement in the FDCA is still in effect

## Overview : PDMA	

- FDA considering whether to further the stay or let the provisions at issue go into effect in Dec. 2006
- Rx drug distribution landscape has changed since 2000:
- Counterfeit Task Force Report
- Track & Trace Technology (e-pedigree)
- State pedigree requirements

## The Impact of Internet-Enabled Serviceson TRS

- Ed Bosson
- Relay Texas Administrator
- Chair NASRA

## Paradigm Changes Noted

- Exodus Towards IP & VRS by TTY Users
- TRS Providers Rethinking TRS Definition
- PSTN to Internet
- Functional Equivalence Based on Senses
- VRS a “natural” telecom conversation
- VRS not an add-on value

## Paradigm Changes

- Interpreter
- From free-lance to desk-bound work
- Internet Relay Easier for Those With Computers
- No need to switch to TTY
- Internet-Enabled Services Require Different Regulations
- Unique challenges of Internet

## Internet-Enabled Service Funding Issue

- Interstate TRS Fund versus State TRS Fund
- Bottom Line is no matter which funds it:
**Ratepayers ultimately pay**
- Federal Government should opt for most cost effective system to subsidize Internet-enabled services

## Federal Subsidization Route

- Multi-Vendoring Produces Constant Competitive Activities Among Vendors
- Enable video and IP users choice of vendors
- Users able to call anywhere in the USA
- Most cost effective

## State Subsidization Route

- Competition Only Happens Once With RFP Procedure
- States Not Likely to Offer MV
- Instead select only one vendor
- Price Per Min Dependent on Historical Call Volume
- States with small population will pay higher ppm
- If States Adopt MV
- Costs likely much higher

## Spin-Off New Internet Features

- Video Mail
- Video Email
- Instant Message
- Pagers

## ConclusionInternet-Enabled Services

- VRS and IP Subsidized by National Fund
- Should Have Special Regulations Separate from Traditional TRS
- Functional Equivalence Based on Senses

## Shower Containment and the Size of a Test Calorimeter

- Adam Para, September 6, 2006

## Why Test Calorimeter???

- It is not yet proven, but it is quite plausible that a dual readout calorimeter may offer very good energy resolution for jets  simulation and analysis
- It is plausible that high enough light collection efficiency can be attained for Lead Glass + fiber, or Lead Glass + APD configuration  optical test laboratory
- It is plausible that cheap enough Lead Glass (or other Cherenkov radiator) can be produced  vendors contacts
- It is plausible that a realistic mechanical design of a large hermetic calorimeter can be produced  engineering studies
- We need to demonstrate the energy resolution, linearity and e/response in the test beam

## How Big a Test Calorimeter?

- Hadron calorimeters are large (m3), hence expensive. Can’t afford to be bigger than necessary.
- (if we build it) we want to demonstrate good energy resolution ~(20-30)%/sqrt(E), that is ~2-3% energy resolution at 100 GeV. If the calorimeter is not long/wide enough there will be some energy leakage from the calorimeter and its fluctuations will contribute to the energy resolution. Need containment ~98% or better.

## How Long a Calorimeter

- Need 2.5-3 m long lead glass
- Blue = Cherenkov
- Red = ionization

## How Wide a Calorimeter?

- Need ~ 1m wide test module
- Red = ionization
- Blue = Cherenkov

## Available Building Blocks

- E70 experiment (Lederman, upsilon): SF5 lead glass blocks 6”x6”x16”
- 6” is far too thick. Optimal absorber thickness needs study (sampling fluctuations): 3” (thick)? 2”(thin)? Options
- 3 m = 120”:
- 40 thick planes
- 60 thin planes
-  7 x 6” = 105 cm wide
- 32”+12” = 110 cm tall
- 18 ‘pixels’ per plane
- Fundamental unit: lead glass
-     + scintillator plate
- Transverse segmentation:
- Common LG and scintillator
- Is 6”x16” sufficient?

## Readout?

- Assume: LG block and the scintillator plates are read out via a single waveshifting fiber (light collection efficiency and uniformity to be demonstrated)
- Channel count: 18 x 2 x 40 (60) = 1440 (2160)
- Assume Hamamatsu 5800-M64 phototube (?)  need 25(35) tubes
- Electronics?
- DAQ?

## Cutting the Lead Glass Blocks

- Cut along the long axis:
- Diamond band saw
- Water-jet (with abrasives)
- Initial vendor contacts: promising
- Surface quality: do cut surfaces need to be polished (manpower = cost)
- Need to find out what the surface quality is
- Need to find out what is the acceptable surface quality
