- McChesney et al.,  PRB **70**, 195430 (2005).

- F. J. Himpsel, UW Madison, DMR-0240937

- Two - dimensional silver layer   doped by extra silver and gold

- 0.0015    0.012      0.015     0.022     0.086       Dopants (Monolayers)

- One - dimensional atom chains doped by silicon dopants on top

- Dopant arrangement deter-  mined by the Fermi surface

**Notes:**
Working on structural models to explain  fractional  filling.  Previous x-ray diffraction showed gold sat in the middle of the terrace (for 557) rather than at the step edge.

One possible model  adds 2 extra silicon adatoms every 3 unit cells.  

Such a model gives the correct electron count, explains the x3 periodicity as observed by STM.  Also give favorable energy in LDA calculations by Steve Erwin as compared to say surface without adatoms or x2 adatom chains

## Motor Carrier Operations

## Global Limo Compliance Reviews

- Preaccident (2004)
- Numerous violations (drivers, vehicles)
- Satisfactory rating
- Postaccident (2005)
- Numerous violations (drivers, vehicles)
- Unsatisfactory rating
- Consistent violations

## Motor Carrier Safety

- FMCSA
- To reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities
- FMCSRs
- To establish safe operating requirements for vehicles, drivers, and motor carriers
- Compliance review
- To investigate safety regulation violations and calculate company safety fitness

## Compliance Review Factors

- General
- Driver
- Operational
- Vehicle
- Accident rate
- Hazardous materials

## Compliance Review Determination

- Certain violations given numerical weight
- Final safety fitness calculated
- Satisfactory
- Conditional
- Unsatisfactory

## Safety Rating Calculation

- FMCSA: All six factors weighed equally
- NTSB: Two most important factors are vehicle and driver

## NTSB Accidents

- Indianapolis, Indiana, 1995
- 2 fatal
- Significant driver, vehicle violations
- H-99-6 issued
- NTSB’s Most Wanted List
- H-99-6 added May 2000
- Mountainburg, Arkansas, 2001
- 3 fatal
- Significant driver, vehicle issues
- H-99-6 reiterated

## Additional Accidents

- Victor, New York, 2002
- 5 fatal
- Significant driver, vehicle violations
- Wilmer, Texas, 2005
- 23 fatal
- Significant driver, vehicle violations

## FMCSA Response to H-99-6

- Reviewing safety rating method
- CSA 2010 Initiative
- New rating method by 2010 dependent on
- Legislation
- Rulemaking
- Pilot testing
- Training for deployment
- Implementation

## Compliance Review Rating

- Violations of Federal safety regulations
- “Acute”
- “Critical”
- Unrated violations not used in safety rating
- Scenario of 100% noncompliance with unrated violations
- “Satisfactory” carrier even with safety violations

## Ineffective Rating Method

- NTSB investigations of “satisfactory” carriers with fatal accidents
- Compliance reviews (2005)
- 8,097 completed, 96.7% with violations
- 65% resulted in satisfactory*** ***ratings
***61,924 violations***
- 53,069 violations unrated (85.7%)
- Method inconsistent with safety

## Summary

- Accidents will continue until CSA 2010 Initiative is completed
- With unrated violations in a carrier’s compliance review, safety violations occur without affecting safety rating
- Current program does not identify unsafe operators
- Interim measures necessary to improve current safety rating process

- Ivan Vitev, Nuclear Theory, T-16 , LANL

- LDRD DR planning, BSM, October 3, 2007

**Presented by Rajan Gupta**

## The Future of High Energy Particle and Nuclear Physics

-  LHC will begin operation in 2008 and will dominate particle and nuclear physics at the high energy frontier in the foreseeable future

- 2000

- 2010

- 2020

- 2030

- 1990

- Tevatron

- RHIC

- LHC

-  LHC is high priority in both the HEP and NP programs of the DOE

-  ***Jets ***will play the leading role in the planned discovery of the Higgs, supersymmetry, and the search for large extra dimensions.

-  Heavy ion theory at LANL can lead an effort to determine the enhancement / suppression of BSM  ***jet ***signals in nucleus-nucleus collisions*** ***

## Jets in Nuclear Collisions

**Jets in Nuclear Collisions**

-  Opportunity exists to develop and lead the theory of jets in nuclear collisions

*Vacuum*

*Medium-induced*

- The theorists (and experimentalists) at LANL have a chance ***today*** to make a major contribution to the fundamental physics (theory and simulation) of ***Jets*** within the Standard Model and beyond. LANL must not miss the opportunity to become a part of the “new golden age in physics” *

-  Novel effective interactions and novel phenomena can arise in matter under extreme conditions (part of BSM challenge)

-  predict novel jet shapes and jet topologies
-  develop radiography of strongly interacting plasmas
-  constrain the new effective interactions via Z0,
-   heavy flavor and  tagged jets

## MNM Fatal 2006-04

- Electrical
- April 3, 2006 (Tennessee)
- Crushed Stone Operation
- Electrician
- 50 years old
- 11 years mining experience

## Overview

- The victim received a fatal electrical shock
- while pushing against a metal building that
- was suspended from a boom truck.

## Slide 3

## Root Causes

- Management policies and controls were inadequate and failed to require that steps were taken to determine if the overhead power line was deenergized before starting the task. There were no safe work procedures implemented to ensure that persons were protected while operating equipment near energized high-voltage power lines.
- Policies and controls were inadequate. Management failed to communicate and document the recent actions that resulted in power being connected to the newly installed overhead high-voltage lines.

## Best Practices

- Stop, Look, Analyze, and Manage (SLAM) each task to identify all potential hazards before performing work.
- Ensure that high-voltage power lines are de-energized before operating equipment within 10 feet of them.
- Ensure that one person on the ground is designated to give signals to the crane operator making the lift.
- Ensure that miners are in a safe location prior to lifting the load.
- Non conducting tag lines should be used to steady loads when operating cranes where overhead power lines are present.

## Extent of Release Near Former Dry Wells

***Extent of Release Near Former Dry Wells***

## Pilot Study Objectives

- Apply the maximum mass of permanganate into the subsurface;
- Identify any site specific difficulty associated with the application of KMnO4 to site groundwater;
- Measure the persistence of permanganate in the aquifer.
- Monitor the reduction in VOCs concentration in the aquifer near the application well;

## Application & Mixing Methods

- KMnO4 solution was prepared on site in two 4000 gal  storage tanks
- Mix water was withdrawn from a nearby hydrant
- Powdered KMnO4 was added to the mixing tanks to form a 3 to 4 percent KMnO4 solution.
- The solution was then be gravity fed into monitoring wells MW-1A and MW-2.
- Feed rates were 15 gpm in MW-1A and 40 gpm in MW-2.

## Mixing Tank Set-Up

- KMnO4 solution migrated 1650 feet to a pumping well in 2 months.
- KMnO4 solution migrated 800 feet to a monitoring well in 10 months.
- KMnO4 solution persisted for over 3 years in EW-1
- Transient elevated chromium concentrations observed in pilot test area.

## Conclusions

- Chemical oxidation by KMnO4 is potentially an effective remediation strategy for treatment for deep VOC plumes in low TOC aquifers.
- Low TOC in soil allowed KMnO4 solution to persist in site groundwater for over 3 years.
- Forced and natural gradient distribution is potentially a viable application method for deep and expansive VOC plumes.

- In addition to involving two graduate students (Yunfeng Shi, Fabio Albano) and three undergraduate students (McLean Echlin, Jayesh Thawani and Huiyan Neo) in the research program, the PI has also been involved in developing coursework in computational materials science.  This has included developing a new computer learning environment called **AtomLab**, based on the MatLab®  platform, that allows graduate and undergraduate students to experiment with atomic scale simulation at a variety of levels of sophistication.

**Outreach:**
- The PI has established a relationship between with Washtenaw Community College and Ford Motor Company to encourage more economically disadvantaged and under-represented minority students to enroll at UM to pursue engineering degrees.

## New Probes for Physics BSM at the LHC P-23, P-25, T-8 and T-16 

- LHC is the first facility where high energy jets are copiously produced, e.g:
- 			p+p +jet
- Use CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) experiment’s excellent muon identification 	and calorimetry for detection
- Examine topology of these events in the 	vacuum and in nuclear collisions :
- 		Discovery potential for *BSM Physics - **	**	*Supersymmetry, Higgs, etc.* *
- 		Radiography of the *Quark-Gluon Plasma* - 	Matter under extreme conditions
- Existing LDRD-ER grant predicts excellent 	rates for jet tagging at CMS experiment

## Potential LANL contributions to CMS / LHC
	program:
Large scale event simulation
Offline event reconstruction (large computing resources)
Theory for interpretation of data - supersymmetry, energy loss, etc.
LHC schedule -
	First p+p collisions in 2008
	Heavy Ions to follow, probably 2010
LHC is future of HEP and High Energy Nuclear Physics programs - 	Timely opportunity to establish a new program at LHC. Seed money to ensure long-term DOE funding for NP program.  Possible HEP support

## MC/Data: Late Activity in NearDet

- (Very Brief) Summary of key points identified in the NC group
- Niki, Tom, Rustem, P.S.

- Time

- Plane

## Time Structure

- “Afterglow” clearly visible in first data
- Time components not seen in MC

- 3 exponential fit:
- ~14ns, ~45ns, ~700ns
- Very long timescale: ~7s

- Data

- MC

- Pulseheight Ratio vs. Time from 1st hit in channel

- RF Buckets

- RF Buckets

***P.S. 2/21/05***

## What is going on?

- Evidence for PMT effects
- Niki’s observation in Low Pulseheight events
- LI in SGATE (Rustem et al.)
- Late hit structure in beam data
- Other
- Evidence for non-PMT late activity
- > PE late hits
- Muon decay
- How to deal with it
- Duration cut – Niki
- Previous activity cut – Tom, P.S.
- MC – Nathaniel (?)

## Low Pulseheight Events

- Excess of low pulseheight events ID’d by Niki:

- Event pulseheight
- Data/MC

*Outer edge pixels are prominent in this excess:*

- Niki’s event duration cut:  low ph events are rejected by requiring DT<100 (?) ns

## Previous Activity Cut

- Tom Oseicki/P.S.
- Cut on fraction of channels in an event that had previous hit ()
- Preliminary – too restrictive for higher intensity

- Data/MC pulseheight, no previous activity cut

- Cutting on  reduces low PH events – these are caused by previous activity

## LI in SGATE

- Rustem: outer pixel prominence seen in LI afterpulses
- PMT afterpulsing is likely dominate cause of  Low PH events

## PMT and non-PMT effects

- Beam SGATE Data: structure vs. time
- Ratio of 1PE and >1PE changes with time

- k

- Right after beam:
- Up to 1.6s – Higher proportion of 1PE
- Outer pixels prominent only for this time period

*(Before beam – darknoise)*

- Later after beam:
- 1.7s – 8s,
- lower proportion of 1PE - physics?

## Muon Decay

- Tom is studying muon decay
-   shorter than 2.2s due to capture
- Measurement is useful check of ND health

-  -

## Summary

- PMT afterpulsing appears predominant in low-PH event excess
- Must also affect real events
- Needs to be incorporated into MC
- Non-PMT effects also present
- More detail in the Joint Working group on Thursday A.M.

## Extended Diversion Time Operations (EDTO)

**Extended Diversion Time Operations (EDTO)**

**Status Report**

## Extended Diversion Time Operations...Definition

- “Any flight by an aeroplane where the flight time at the one engine inoperative cruise speed (in ISA and still air conditions), from a point on the route to an adequate alternate aerodrome, is greater than the threshold time approved by the State of the Operator or any flight operated in an area designated by the State of the Operator as an area of extended diversion time applicability”

## Extended Diversion Time Operations (EDTO)

- Not the same as “long range operation” or “ultra-long range operation”
- Proposed for two, **three** and **four** engine aeroplanes
- Would place additional requirements on three and four engine aeroplanes involved in EDTO such as cargo compartment fire suppression and maintenance requirements

## Issue and Terminology

**The problem is the length of the diversion, not the length of the flight in the event of a primary system or propulsion system failure**
**ETOPS and LROPS do not describe the nature of the operation**
**Extended Diversion Time Operations is considered more descriptive of the issue at hand**** **

## History

- EDTO provisions first proposed by Operations Technical Panel (OPSP/6) in 2003
- Reviewed by ANC
- Proposal sent back to OPSP
- OPSP/7 refined the maintenance provisions for aeroplanes with more than 2 engines on EDTO
- Preliminary review by ANC and sent to States for comments in September 2007

## Consultation with States and International Organizations

- States had fundamental difficulties with many provisions
- Probable cause: proposal derived from existing ETOPS provisions extended to aeroplanes with more than 2 engines
- A new approach to Extended Diversion Times Operations for all aeroplanes, with any number of engines, is needed

## The Way Forward for a New EDTO Concept

- New group formed by ICAO: Special Operations Task Force Identify the safety issues
- SOTF Membership: Stakeholders involved in such operations: ~5 States, operators as advisors, IATA, IFALPA, EASA, ICCAIA, OPSP & Airworthiness Panel members
- Start with a clean sheet of paper, but consider the work done and comments from States

## Timeline

- Meet in the fall 2008
- Complete provisions in 2009
- Applicable in 2010 at the earliest

## Thank You
