- Data from RHIC experiments

- Now we have many set of data for dN/dy and ratios from RHIC experiments
- However, the centrality bin selection is not the same among experiments
- We need to adjust ratios as a function of “common” centrality to combine all of data for centrality dependence of chemical freeze-out
- Assumption
- dN/dy is linearly scaled by <Npart>
- Actually, the data looks like that dependence
- Select one set of centrality bins
- interpolate dN/dy for the centrality as a function of <Npart>

- Particle combinations for the fit

- The chemical freeze-out parameter seems to be sensitive to combination of particle ratios as discussed in Ref.[14]
- Hence we checked the following six combinations of particle ratios for the fit:
- (1) , K, and p
- (2) , K, p and 
- (3) , K, p, ,      , and 
- (4) , K, p, , K*, , and 
- (5) , K, p, ,      , , and 
- (6) , K, p, , K*, , , and 

- Tch, q, s seems to be flat in 130 and 200 GeV Au+Au collisions
- Tch ~ 150-170MeV
- q  ~ 10 MeV (small net Baryon density)
- s   ~  0 MeV (close to phase boundary)
- There is a dependence of ratio combinations for the fit parameters
- the deviation is <10%
- s increasing with <Npart>
- Full strangeness equilibration only central Au+Au collisions at RHIC
- Seems to be reached around <Npart>~100-150

## Thermal Shock

## Thermal Shock - Sector 9

- Use liquid nitrogen vapor to cool sector rapidly.
- Setup is just dewar, valve and line to sector. Open valve, look at temperature, close valve when cold enough.
- Next step would be to implement simple temperature controller.
- Plot below is without power on sector.

## Sector 9

- Sector has been tested with C3F8, irradiated to 11 Mrads, raised to +135C, and now cooled with LN2 to about -35C without power, operated near -35C with power, then cooled to about -60C.
- Imaging done in usual way with room T water at about 21C.
- Before in the pictures that follow means before thermal shock but after all other tests.
- There is no evidence for any significant change in thermal performance after thermal shock tests.
- In addition, it appears possible to easily cool sector with LN2 to actual operating temperature, assuming can implement simple temperature feedback/controller.

## Before

- After thermal shock to -35C

- Power on operation at about -35 to -25C. LN2 enters left.

- After thermal shock to -60C

## Governmentwide Relocation Advisory Board

- Ed Davis
- Travel Management Policy
- Office of Transportation & Personal Property
- September 29, 2004

## Overview

- Congressional concern
- costs: agencies doing local moves, home costs rising; therefore, relocation costs are rising
- control
- contractors
- agency management
- lack of data on relocation transactions

## Guiding Principles for Relocation

- Incorporate relevant private industry relocation practices
- Get employees into permanent quarters
- Improve transferee experience
- financial costs: if possible, reduce agency costs while allowing for better relocations for the Federal Gov

## Guiding Principles for Relocation

- Increase efficiency
- administrative costs – agency control
- end relocation vouchers remaining open for years
- connect parts of the FTR and relocation that are currently unconnected

## Overall Federal Relocation Policy

- Relocation Best Practices Committee met many times over 6 months (Sept 2002 to March 2003)
- Consisted of both private industry and Federal government
- Benchmarked Federal Relocation Policy against private industry
- Changes are regulatory and legislative

## Proposed Regulations

- Signed agreements
- binding service agreement to cover relocation and any extension granted
- disclosure statements
- TQ Expenses incurred
-  Reduced time limit to complete relocation from 2+2 years to 1+1 year

## Proposed Regulations

-  House hunting trips
- reduce days to max of 8
- encourage elimination of actual expenses for HHT – use lump sums
- fly/drive threshold of 250 Miles
- Household effects
- defines 18,000  net (10% packaging weight)
- UAB with agency approval (Foreign areas)

## Proposed Regulations

- Storage of HHE – limit to 150 days total and storage should parallel number of days of TQSE
- POVs
- limit number of POVs shipped at GOV expense to two
- reduce the mileage payment for driving a POV during a relocation to IRS mandated $0.135/mile

## Proposed Regulations

- Transferee can be reimbursed directly for property management services

## Proposed Regulations

- Relocation Management
**notification- **coming end of fiscal 2006
- agencies need to get ready
- relocation payment systems
- relocation management reporting system
- data issues

## Proposed Regulations

- Respond to proposed regulation
- Important for both of us
- Data
- GSA needs data to prove whether policies are working,
- agencies need the data to manage their programs

## 4. Data Assimilation Team  (Ch: Behringer and Mitchell)

**4a. GODAS experiments for development**

**The experiment:**
- A long analysis (1980-2005) with the _G_lobal _O_cean _D_ata _A_ssimilation _S_ystem (GODAS) that extended the data assimilation depth from the operational standard of 750 meters to 2200 meters.
**The outcome:**
- The long-term erroneous temperature drift at mid-depths in the operational GODAS was eliminated.

## Temperature at 1200m on the equator (long. vs time)

- In the operational GODAS (left), there is a drift toward warmer temperatures in the Indian and Pacific Oceans and toward colder temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean.
- In the GODAS with deep assimilation (right), the temperature drift in the Indian and Pacific Oceans has been eliminated, while in the Atlantic Ocean there is now a long-term warming trend that is consistent with observation.

- Temperature comparison with independent CTD data along the Atlantic Ocean section A16 (GODAS minus CTD).
- In the operational GODAS (top), the equatorial and North Atlantic water at 1000-2000m is too cold by 1-2oC.
- In the GODAS experiment that assimilates data to 2200m (bottom), this problem is corrected.
- These results are consistent with the trend results illustrated above.

## Future Plans - FY07

- The successful outcome of the FY06 experiment means that deep assimilation is ready to be included as part of the next implementation of GODAS.
- A version of the GODAS that assimilates altimetry data has been extensively tested in the standard configuration and more recently a new version of the GODAS assimilation that is multivariate in geostrophic velocity has undergone preliminary testing. Both will be tested further in FY07 in conjunction with the deep assimilation.
- All FY07 experiments will be diagnosed and evaluated as part of the McPhaden et al. proposal recently funded by the CTB.

## Time Stamping and Delay Analysis of One-Second Data

- Timothy C. White    Edward A. Sauter    Duff Stewart

_**Objectives**_
**  **Measure the accuracy of the time stamp assignment to one-second data
-   Measure acquisition delay, relative to PPS

_**Introduction**_
**The USGS seeks to attain an accuracy of ±10 ms of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for one-second data.  The USGS also seeks to measure the time delay between the moment a magnetic event occurs and when it is registered in the data collection software.****  **

_**Testing Setup and Design**_
**Experiment Design for time stamp assignment test**
-   PPS Signal from Thunderbolt clock is used to trigger a BNC Model 565 Pulse/Delay Generator
-  Generator is set to output 2.5 V, 9 ms wide, 0 ms delay pulse
-  Generator pulse connected to both Channel 1 and 2 of 802
-  Sub-second (100.1 Hz) data is analyzed to verify time stamping accuracy

_**Butterworth Analog Filter Response**_
- Each axis of the sensor is independently
- filtered with a 3-pole Butterworth low pass filter
- The transfer function of the filter is:
- For a 50 Hz corner frequency, the gain and phase response are:
**Note: Frequency response models for actual capacitor and resistor values used for filter, not ideal 50 Hz corner frequency values. **

_**Acquisition Software: Digital Filter**_
** **A 199 point, sigma = 26.455 samples, digital Gaussian filter is applied to the analog data (99 samples from second to-1 + 100 samples from second to)
- The Gaussian filter is centered on sample #1 from second to

**Experiment Design for acquisition delay**
-   PPS Signal from Thunderbolt clock is used to trigger a BNC Model 565 Pulse/Delay Generator
-  Generator is set to output 2.5 V, 9 ms wide, 0 ms delay pulse
-  Generator pulse connected to an inductor coil
-  An oscilloscope is used to find the inductor’s delay
-  Narod sensor placed near the inductor to detect the magnetic signal generated
-  The analog output of the Narod is monitored for the disturbance
-  The Narod electronics are connected to the 802 as normal, and the sub-second data is analyzed

## PP1 Status

- December 2002

## Since the Last Pixel Week

- Made and leak tested simple sliding feedthrough for tubes passing through PP1.
- Revised layout of locations of tubes and areas for fibers and cable feedthroughs.
- Added features to connect to PST flanges, to account for rails and other features.
- Concept for holding fiber MT connectors.
- Concept for electrical break in coolant connections. Prototype drawings complete.

## Previous Layout

- Service routing to PP2

- PP1b

- Flex transition for power/DCS

- Bellows for gas seal

- No cables shown! Not all pipes!

- Service panels

- Endplate to PST flange

- PP1a

## Z Dimension Not Changed

- Have not changed Z dimensions since last meeting. Need to fold in more details of end region. Beam pipe also to be updated.

## New Layout

- Fibers

- Cables

## Current PP1 Layout

## Exploded View

## Coolant Pipe Region

- Concepts developed and partially tested for simple environmental gas seal and for electrical break.

- Environmental gas seal

- PEEK insert and nut for electrical break

## Simple Environmental Gas Seal

- Tested at 25 mbar.
- No measurable leak.
- Leak rate <<0.02 l/hr.
- Same at –30C.
- Need more seals to
- determine leak rate.

## Fiber MT-to-MT Connections

- Feed MT connectors from inside PP1 through slots.
- Group in sets of four.
- Connect external MT connectors
- Fasten by clip.

## Connection to Type II Cables

- Flex circuits go through PP1. Need flex circuits to meet space requirements – wires too big. Flexes are as short as possible to minimize power dissipation.
- Our current concept is to run wires(just like those inside PP1) soldered to these flexes to a rigid PCB with connectors.
- Connectors to Type II cables not yet selected(Mauro)

- PCB with
- connector

- Type II
- cables

- Type I
- wires

## What Next?

- Many environmental gas seal parts in shop. Will irradiate 1⁄2 and compare with unirradiated. Leak tests, friction tests,...
- Prototype for electrical break designed and to go into shop in early January.
- Plan is to make one quadrant of PP1 and blank plates for the remained to test joining and sealing. Preparation of detailed drawings underway. Plan to begin fabrication in January.
- Need better understanding this week of how to test fiber concept on small scale first. Could this be supplied by others and “plugged in” to PP1?
- Need to advance design of cable feedthroughs – connections to Type II cables still missing.
- Need to understand fixation point of external pipes(running to PP2), which in part determine forces on internal pipes. Understanding these forces(also from gas seals) is most critical design issue at the moment. The issue is forces from contracting pipes acting to displace the pixel detector.

## Schedule

- Schedule is not yet firm – need prototype
- Prototype fabrication and testing up to June 2003. PRR October 2003.
- Detailed design, fabrication of parts, assembly takes until mid-2004.

**New L2C Signal Benefits**

## Technical Benefits

- Very significant signal-to-noise improvement over the semi-codeless current civilian access to L2 signal. (>17dB improvement)
- The data-free segment allows the use of a phase-locked-loop for carrier-phase tracking. This greatly improves the cycle-slip threshold. (Our simulations show that with oscillator tracking logic, phase tracking with C/N0 less than 20 dB can be maintained)

## Technical Benefits (2)

- Longer codes on both L2CM and L2CL provide a significant improvement in the cross-correlation (and auto-correlation) properties. This gives a very significant improvement in acquisition reliability especially in the presence of weak or partially blocked signals
- Assuming L2CM will be changed to a new ephemeris message with a convolution code, a significant improvement in the data message will be attained.

## Practical Benefits

- Both in agriculture and in marine applications—better performance in marginal situations.
- The StarFire Global DGPS uses the equivalent of floating ambiguity carrier-phase navigation, thereby achieving ten cm. navigation—but it can often take as long as 1⁄2 hour to converge to this accuracy. Therefore, dropping below four satellites can cause this process to start all over.
- Measurements from more satellites will remain available This can mean the difference between usable GPS and unusable GPS.
- Reacquisition of obscured satellites will occur more quickly.

## Shading Area A

- Shading Area B

## Positioning Next to a Drill Rig

## Conclusion

- NavCom is designing the next-generation GPS to take advantage of the new L2C signals. We believe that the new signal will be of significant benefit to our existing customers—particularly in situations where the current system is only marginally available.
