## Antiproton source weekly report: Bill Ashmanskas 2006-06-23

- First “routine” week since shutdown.  Nearly entire week spent stacking, tuning
- Major downtime ~ 1 shift (Mon owl) for M:HV102 supply
- Best stacking hours ~ 13 E10/hr (vs. 20 in February)
- Beam on target ~ 5.5E12 (vs. full intensity of 8.0)
- Yield to end of AP2 line same as before shutdown
- Need to streamline/calibrate intermediate stacking efficiencies for Debuncher, DA, etc.
- We need to measure A:PRDCTN vs. beam on target and vs. cycle time, to understand our bottlenecks
- Get PRDCTN back to 21, keep it there at full rate
- Access task list growing: Deb tank, CV1, QS732, TOR724, VT726, VT716, M:Q209, AP1 OTR, ...
- Would be fantastic to have hard-wired ethernet connection to F23 and F27 for BPM readout (AP1, AP2, AP3)

## Stacked 1047 E10 pbars last week  avg 6.1 mA/hr (incl. downtime)

## 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

## NPP/NPOESS Update

- Presented to the MODIS Science Team
- 1/5/06
- Dr R E Murphy
- Senior Staff Scientist
- IPO/GMU

## Program Status

- Total cost over-runs exceed 15% with indications it will grow
- Growth to 25% would trigger “Nunn-McCurdy” Act certification provisions
- Essential to National Security
- No alternatives that are more cost effective
- OSD independent cost estimate
- Adequate management structure
- Program content remains intact
- Schedule will likely slip
- Options still under discussion
- VIIRS capabilities remain unchanged

## Independent Program Assessment (IPA)

- 2nd major independent review in past year
- Led by Brig Gen (ret) Jack R Wormington
- Membership included:
- Mr Ken Anderson (NASA, Former MODIS Instrument Manager)
- Dr. Robert Lucke (NRL, hyperspectral sensors)
- Dr Paul Menzel (NOAA, MODIS ST, former VOAT Chair)
- Site visit & extensive discussions with SBRS VIIRS team
- Strongly supported VIIRS
- Recommended additional schedule, review of testing to assure sufficiency

## VIIRS EDSR

- In depth technical and programmatic review of VIIRS program
- Led by IPO & NGST System Engineering with extensive participation by NASA NPP senior management
- Confirmed & elaborated on technical & process concerns at SBRS
- Proposed solutions

## Program Structure

- Program remains under “SSPR” concept (IPO & NGST share responsibility)
- Program reporting to sponsoring agencies streamlined
- Direct to the “EXCOM” consisting of the NASA & NOAA administrator & AF Under Secretary
- NPOESS IPO to increase capabilities for technical & financial oversight

## Program Management

- Program Executive Officer organization being formed to provide independent oversight
- One level above NPOESS SPD
- Brig Gen (S) Sue Mashiko will be PEO
- Col(S) Dan Stockton will be NPOESS SPD
- Management changes at NGST
- Internal organization of IPO being strengthened

## Orbit & Program Schedule

- NPP will be moved to the afternoon orbit (1:30 PM ascending node)
- NPP launch will slip dependent on VIIRS schedule
- Allows more time to incorporate lessons learned from VIIRS EDU into VIIRS FU-1

## Summary

- Schedule & cost problems have led to a reorganization of the NPOESS IPO & changes to the program schedule & management structure
- Program content has _not_ been changed
- Close user coordination at all times
- Positive attention has been focused on assuring that VIIRS meets its requirements

## State Thimerosal Legislation:  Potential Impact on Vaccine Supply

**Melinda Wharton, M.D., M.P.H.**
**29 November 2005**
**Subcommittee on Vaccine Development and Supply**
**National Vaccine Advisory Committee**

## State Legislative Activity2004-2005

**Legislation prohibiting use of thimerosal-containing vaccines has been introduced in >20 states**
**Laws vary in populations covered, amounts of thimerosal prohibited, vaccines affected, and availability of exemptions due to shortages or public health emergencies**
**Laws have been enacted in 6 states**

## New York AO 5543

**July 1, 2008:  Prohibits use of vaccines containing more than 0.5 mcg of mercury in children <3 years of age and pregnant women**
**Children <3 years can receive influenza vaccine containing no more than 0.625 mcg Hg **
**Exemption for outbreaks or shortage; requires informed consent**
**Enacted in 2005**

## Delaware HS 2 for HB 108

**January 1, 2006:  vaccines prohibited that contain more than trace amounts of mercury other than influenza vaccine for children <8 years of age and pregnant women**
**January 1, 2007:  vaccines prohibited that contain greater than trace amounts**
**January 1, 2008: vaccines containing any mercury prohibited**
**Exemption for emergency or epidemics**

## Illinois HB 0511

**January 1, 2006:  vaccines prohibited that contain more than 1.25 mcg**
**January 1, 2008: vaccines containing any mercury prohibited**
**Applies to entire population**
**Exemption for emergency or epidemics or vaccine shortage**
**Enacted in 2005**

## Will These State Laws Disrupt Vaccine Supply?

**Possible unanticipated affects on production decisions by manufacturers**
**Within states that have enacted legislation, influenza vaccine availability most likely to be impacted**
**Do not anticipate preferential distribution to states with legislation, so impact on other states expected to be limited**

## Remaining Uncertainties

**How will exemption processes work in practice?**
**Will exempted vaccines be acceptable to parents and vaccinees?**
**How will laws impact providers? **
**How will use of exempted vaccines be addressed in state pandemic influenza plans?**

## Radar Refractivity Measurements How and Why?

**Jeff Keeler   Fr****édéric Fabry **
***   ******NCAR/ATD   McGill University***
-  Boulder, Co    Montréal, Canada

## IHOP Objectives

- Science:  How much does knowing 4-D H2O distribution assist in QPF and modeling?
- Instrumentation: How can we best measure H2O, especially vapor?
- S-Pol: How accurately can we estimate moisture from refractivity measurements?

## Refractive Index and Meteorology

- N = Refractivity near the surface
- N = (n – 1) 106
- where n is the index of refraction
- N = f(e, T, P)
- N hence changes as air mass properties (moisture and temperature) change.

**Refractive Index and Meteorology**

## Radar Measurements of Refractive Index

- Target phase:  Ф(r)  =  2πf ttravel(r)  =

- For fixed targets, phase will change as *n* changes.

-  4πf
- ——  r n
-    c

## Convection Regeneration Example

- Convective line forms, decays, and reforms on radar-detected moisture gradient

- Tight gradient moving

## IHOP Examples: Dry-Line Evolution

- To join back after...

- ...As dry line moves west

## On Fine Lines and N-Field Gradients

- Not all fine lines are visible in refractivity:
-  Some convergence regions have little N gradients;
-  Some convergence lines occur above nocturnal stable layer.

- Cold
- front

## On N-Field Gradients Without Echoes

- January 2001

## June 21, 2001 (N3)

**In the latest ranking of the world's 500 most powerful supercomputers, a 2,528-processor IBM RS/6000 SP system at the U. S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is listed as the top unclassified supercomputer on Earth.**
**Number 3 Overall.**

## November 1, 2002 (N3e)

**The U.S. Department of Energy's NERSC Center has signed a contract with IBM to double the size of NERSC's 3,328-processor RS/6000 SP supercomputer, creating a machine with a peak speed of 10 teraflop/s.**
**NERSC made the decision to increase the capability of the existing system, rather than purchase an entirely new one. The new equipment to be installed in November with the 6,656-processor IBM system expected to become available to NERSC users by April 2003. **
**This is the largest number of processors ever to be made available on an open production system.**

## March 10, 2003

**The NERSC Center, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science, put its 10 teraflop/s (10 trillion calculations per second) IBM POWER-based supercomputer into service last week. **
**Providing researchers across the country with the most powerful computer for unclassified research in the United States.**

**Seaborg’s Retirement**

## Operations and Licensing Part 2

## Major Discussion Points

**Overview of responsibilities of states, operators, and ICAO.**
**ICAO has standard minimum content and layout of AOC and operations specifications (effective 2010).**
- Development of International AOC register—Annex 6, Doc 8335
**International Cooperation**
- Exchange of safety data through ICAO and bi-and multi-laterally
- Mutual recognition under Article 33
- Reciprocal acceptance/validation under bilateral agreements
- Cooperation between State of Operator and state of operations

## Major Discussion Points (cont)

**Operations Specifications remain necessary at some level, including conditions, limitations, technical permissions to assist surveillance.**
**FAA is revising Part 129 to remove overlap between regulation and op specs. **
**EASA will issue NPA for international operations around same time as NPA for ops.  **
- Will include examination of existing safety information, which could lead to an investigation.
- Includes operator declaration of compliance with requirements
**Enforcement of non-compliance under laws of member state **

## Reaction from the Floor

**Should have single universal ICAO-based op specs document in one language**
*This would not obviate right of contracting states to determine compliance.  *
**Part 135 operators have similar issues**
**ICAO and EASA’s concept of self-declaration**
**Legislator concerns are behind requirements such as part 129, SAFA, etc.  Mutual confidence needs to be established bilaterally until universal compliance at ICAO level is established.**

## Reaction from the Floor (cont)

**Grandfathering/reciprocal acceptance between EASA and FAA?**
**Concern about proliferation of additional requirements within op specs**
**Concern about proliferation of audits. **
- Suggestion for one audit document (eg IOSA) that will satisfy FAA, EASA, Australia, etc.

## Reaction from the Floor (cont)

**ICAO requirement that flight time limitations be based on scientific principles**
**How to prevent punishing the carrier if its authority doesn’t meet standards**

## Reaction from the Floor (cont)

**Questions for EASA:**
- Any advance info on what EASA fees and charges on carriers will look like
- Credit to third country operators that meet the intent of declaration requirement (part 2 annex 6) through national rules such as FAR 91.501*.*

## Outcomes/Additional Ideas

**EASA and FAA agreed to look at areas of reciprocal acceptance that can be addressed under the US-European Community safety agreement.**
- Based on mutual confidence achieved through a documented assessment process that will take some time.

## NMR Investigation of Quantum MagnetsVesna F. Mitrovic, Brown University, DMR 0547938

- The insulating antiferromagnet Cs2CuCl4 is one of only two candidate materials to show strong evidence for two-dimensional spin liquid behavior. We are performing systematic NMR measurements on this material in order to provide necessary guidance for the development of theories of quantum magnetism in two-dimensions.  These measurements allow us to probe the evolution of local spin structure as a function of the magnetic field,  gap in different field induced states, and  anisotropy of interactions.
- We succeeded in identifying the presence of a weak anisotropic interaction. In Fig. a) field dependence of the 133Cs(A) NMR spectra at T=60 mK in magnetic field applied transverse to the Cu spin planes, (*bc*), is shown. Observed lineshapes are characteristic of the incommensurate spin structure (light and dark green in the figure). In addition, the presence of two distinct magnetic cell is detected. The difference between two left peaks, referred as the splitting, is plotted as a function of the field in Fig. b). The splitting represents the difference in the average magnetization between the two cells. The results indicate the presence of the field induced staggered magnetization induced by a weak anisotropic interaction.

**Fig. 1** - **a)** Field dependence of the 133Cs(A) spectra at T=50 mK in magnetic field applied transverse to the spin planes (*bc*). Fig. **b)** The splitting, defined as the difference between to the two left peaks, as a function of the applied field.

## Comments on Injecting into 1.3 GHz Linac and Accelerating to 20 GeV

- After the second REMEX we need to accelerate from 2.5 GeV to 20 GeV.
- Let us assume that we will use a Tesla-like linac structure for the acceleration.  Parameters shown in table.
- We will need 175 “Cryostats” worth of Linac to accelerate beam to 20 GeV.
- Obviously we will recirculate, but this require more than 3 times.

## Use Tesla Cavity Technology

## Icool Simulation Parameters

- The table shows the main parameters describing the muon beam in the Icool simulation.
- A 90° phase advance FODO lattice implies constant K1 for the quadrupoles.
- Since
- The quad gradient must increase with p.  We change the gradient in discrete sections.
- This probably is not possible to do

## More Model Assumptions

- The RF cavities in a cryostat module are approximated by a 72 cell cavity, each of which is phased with the reference particle.  The cavity cells *cannot* be individually phased and the cavity length is longer than the cavity wavelength.  (Is it a traveling wave cavity?)
- Individual RF cells are assumed to be pillboxes.
- RF cavity iris radius is 3.4 cm.  Particles outside of that are lost.
- Muons more than 30 ns from reference particle are killed.

## Energy vs. Longitudinal Position (sort of)

- Changed RF Frequency from 1.3 GHz to 1.35 GHz Here!

- Dr. Roger Dorsinville, Mentor
- Muhammad Ali Ummy, Graduate Student

- The City College of New York

## All-Optical Threshold Device

*A device that can discriminate between two intensity levels is a Threshold Device*

-  Loop mirror contains SOA, attenuator, and 50:50 coupler
-  Phase change occurs in clockwise beam during transmission in 50:50 coupler
-  Destructive or constructive interference at the ports
-  To set a threshold value, attenuator is set to constant value while SOA is varied

## Experimental Setup

## Graphical Results

## Experimentation and Results

- SOA set to three different gain levels
- VOA varied periodically to change input intensity
- Threshold values of all-optical threshold device were inversely proportional to the value of the SOA
- In future, threshold device can be used for optical computing
- Faster
- More efficient

## Sandia CFD Transport Code

- A workshop was conducted by Dr. Walt Gill from Sandia on the use of the code at the Fourth Triennial International Fire & Cabin Safety Research Conference held November 15-18, 2004, in Lisbon, Portugal.

## Sandia CFD Transport Code

- Phase 2 validation is ongoing using experimental data from the flaming resin block in the 707 cargo compartment. All suggested modifications to the instrumentation were implemented before the second round of validation experiments were conducted.
- Initial results indicate the code is predicting temperatures significantly higher than the experimental data in the immediate vicinity of the fire location. The agreement becomes much better as the distance from the fire increases. Smoke meter light transmission agreement is very good.
- Sandia is developing updates to improve the agreement and remove minor programming anomalies in other areas.
- Validation experiments in the DC-10 test article using the flaming resin block have been completed and will be compared to code predictions following the resolution of the 707 validation work.

## Sandia CFD Transport Code

**Initial copies of the code were distributed to a 10 member users group in the beginning of December. The group was requested to provide feedback by April 1, 2005. The feedback will be compiled and provided to Sandia shortly after the deadline.**
**A mechanism is needed to provide funding to Sandia for future efforts that might be required to support private industry users of the code. Preliminary discussions have taken place to determine what that would entail but a final decision has not yet been made. Comments are welcome.**

| Programmatic |   | Getting all participants in one place at the same time, best people for the job may not be available. |

**Total ROM Cost (non-CS) = $ 110K **

**Description:**

**Benefits:**

**Schedule/Costs:**

**Risks:**

- Red, Yellow, or Green

**Lead Center/PI: ****LaRC**
**Co-Is: ****All centers have to participate for consensus**
**Center Funding Split: ****LaRC – $40K*/0.2, JPL - $20K, GSFC- 0.1,**
**	****	****JSC - 0.1, MSFC- 0.1, HQ - 0.1**

**CS FTEs =  0.4 **

**Deliverables:**

- There are several parts guidelines in use today at NASA.  Goddard, Marshal, Johnson, and JPL have standard plans whereas other centers write tailored plans to their projects.  This task will provide the organization to get the concerned NASA centers together for two weeks to come up with a “ONE NASA” parts plan.  It is proposed that a retreat team building atmosphere (such as the Wallops Island facility) be used to provide lodging, meals, and meeting room.  This way participants only need to concern themselves with travel to and from the government facility, all other arrangements are taken care of including team building off site trips.

- Having a consensus among all centers on a parts plan guideline.

- “ONE NASA” parts plan guideline.

*****cost based on using Wallops Island facility, 25 people for two weeks.  Total cost and FTE total will be dependent on total participation among the centers.
