**Goal**
- We assess the accuracy with which the vertical profile of aerosol extinction (a fundamental aerosol property) can currently be measured with state-of-the art instrumentation.
- We cannot stress enough that for climate considerations it is the properties of the *unaltered aerosol* at its *ambient concentration* and *thermodynamic state* that are of interest.
- We compare ambient aerosol extinction profiles obtained in coordinated field campaigns that include in situ and remote sensing measurements of aerosols aboard airborne platforms over surface-based lidars.
- We start with the results of a recent campaign, the Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Aerosol Intensive Operations Period (AIOP, May 2003), and then consider these results in the context of findings from other field campaigns conducted since 1996.

**Conclusion**
- While we find that each of the methods investigated here has its strengths and weaknesses, there is no definitive proof that one of the methods is fundamentally flawed. From the biases found in AIOP and previous studies, we conclude that the systematic error associated with measuring the tropospheric vertical profile of the ambient aerosol extinction with current state-of-the art instrumentation is 15-20% at visible wavelengths and potentially larger in the UV and near-infrared. Random errors, as measured by rms differences are considerably larger, ranging from 26% to 98%.

**How did we measure the vertical profile of aerosol extinction during AIOP?**

## Existing Booster Corrector Program

*Eric Prebys*
- FNAL Beams Division

## Basic Features of ORBIT Program (PA1915)

- Based on Herrup’s DC orbit control program
- Looks at a discrete series of time breaks and calculates deviations from “ideal orbit”
- Ideal ORBIT = fixed position plus corrections for BEX bumps and RPOS, which are not very well done
- Calculates corrector settings at each time break to minimize RMS deviation from this ideal ORBIT
- Currently can use SVD or 3-bump algorithm
- Takes into account absolute current limits as well as slew rate limits.
- Applies corrections and produces a limited number of diagnostic plots.

## Handling limits

- This is the tricky part!!
- First, calculate ideal setting in the absence of limits
- Look at the change in current since last time break and calculate Imax for each corrector, where
-   = change in current since last time break
-  Imax = maximum current change to nearest limit
- If max R>1
- scale all dI by 1/R
- Set that corrector to the max
- Iterate with that corrector masked off
- Repeat until all R’s<1 or all correctors masked off

## B80 (PA1915) – Ramped Corrector Control Program

## Details of Closed Orbit Calculation

-  Read desired orbit (from file or a particular time in current cycle)
- Read the beam position as a function of time.
- Initialize the ramps.
**Calculate the current ramps needed to hold the orbit at the desired point.**
- Calculate the predicted orbit, based on the calculated ramps.
- Produce some diagnostic plots
- Send the ramp current ramps to the ramp modules.
- Save ramps for future use.
- Restore ramps, either to their initial value or to a stored setting.

## Program Options

-  Plane being corrected
- Momentum correction (not correctly handled)
- Desired orbit (file, injection, or zero)
- Fraction of correction to apply
-  BPM source (display or file)
-  Alogrithm (SVD or 3-bump)
- Which timebreak to examine (on diagnostic plots)
-  Maximum iterations
- TCLK events
- Ramp slot to use (1 to 15)
- How to handle special points (kludgy at the moment)
-  How close to get to the peak current (old ad-hoc way of dealing with RMS limit)
- Enable ramps
- Left over from when BPM’s didn’t work with notch

## Orbit “tweaking”

- Edit positions by hand

- Drag-edit deviations from current position

## Badly Needed Improvements

- Ability to handle time dependent ideal orbits!!
- Not that big a deal
- Better handling of BEX bumps
- Might solve itself with time dependent orbits
- Proper momentum correction
- Coupled to proper RPOS handling
- Include RMS limit
- Pretty easy
- More versatile “tweaking”
- Interface to rampled 3-bump program??
- Lots more diagnostic plots

## Questions

- Is this program worth salvaging, or would it be better to start from scratch?
- How to we proceed?

## Status and Plans

- 10/8:  Put gold beam down the line
- 		Check proper operation of the harp, Faraday cups, determine beam size at the aperture location
- 		Check that one can move the test piece properly.
- 10/9-10/21: Machine and insert the final aperture, based on above result.  Bake the whole line to 200 C.
- 10/22 & 25:  Au beam, test at 2 energies
- Sequence of subsequent tests (unscheduled):
- 		Activate the NEG to 250 C
- 	Au beam, test at 2 energies
- 		Activate the NEG to 300 C
- 	Au beam, test at 2 energies & test with second species
- 		Saturate the NEG
- 	Test with Au & test with second species
- 		Activate NEG again to 300 C
- 	Test with Au

## Optional - Bleed in gas from calibrated leak, increasing the flow until matching the P1, P2, then record the flow rate. From this flow rate, one could get ion desorption without having to calculate conductances, effect of ion pump, NEG pumping, etc.  Repeat the series of measurements again (with beam) to make sure the gas leak hasn't changed the effect of the NEG pumping.  Initially, look at gas generated with an RGA, and then bleed in the dominant gas (CO according to the CERN measurements).		

- 	Tune beam down line, using the harp located before the aperture.  Center on harp and upstream quad.			Tune so no current on the aperture, all current on the end FC
- 		Move the test piece into the beam, both sides (NEG and SS), various angles
- 		Current should be zero on the aperture and FC; all current should be on the test pipe
- 	Each test:
- 		Read P1, P2 when beam is off
- 		Read P1, P2 when beam hitting back FC.
- 		Read P1, P2 when beam is hitting the test piece
- 		Repeat for all angles, both NEG and SS

## Studies of N=Z Nuclei from Ni to Sn

**40****Ca(****40****Ca,2********)****72****Kr: microball + GS**

**Studies of N=Z Nuclei from Ni to Sn**

**Physics Goal**
-  Understanding influence of shell effects (68Se, S.Fischer *et al.,* Phys. Rev. Lett. 84 (2000) 4064)
-  Understanding of pair correlations, specifically T=0,1, n-p pairing .

**Experimentally challenging due to small production cross-sections!**

-  Alignments of g9/2 neutrons and protons are delayed in 72Kr relative to 74,76Kr.
-  Several theoretical investigations suggest delayed alignments in N=Z nuclei are a consequence of T=0, n-p pairing.
-  See similar delays in 76Sr and 80Zr. (S. Fischer *et al.,* submitted Phys. Rev. Lett.)

**Delayed Alignment!**

## Measuring Excited States in the Proton-Emitter 141Ho

- Measuring Excited States in the Proton-Emitter 141Ho

**Physics Goals:**
- Are the measured rotational properties of 141Ho consistent with the conclusions from the decay work?

-  Production cross-sections are very small. Use GS + FMA to correlate -rays with proton decay of 141Ho.
-  Deformed band measured on top of ground state.
-  Extracted deformation is consistent with value obtained from proton-decay work.
-  Rotational properties suggest nucleus is triaxial.

## Principal Foods for Juvenile Gulf Sturgeon

- Huff, 1975
- 	- Prefer non-tube building amphipods, isopods, insect
- 		larvae and mud shrimps
- Mason & Clugston, 1993
- 	-  Prefer non-tube building crustaceans and insect larvae
- 	-  Do not prefer organisms with a hard carapace or shell
-  Heard et al., 2002
- 	- Prefer non-tube building amphipods

##  Food Categories based upon Gut Content Analysis

- Principal Foods:
- 		Free Living Amphipods	Shrimp
- 		Isopods			Oligochaetes
- 		Insect Larvae		Brachiopods
- Secondary Foods:
- 		Tube Dwelling		Nemerteans
- 		   Amphipods
- 		Polychaetes		Nematodes
- 		Cumaceans		Anthozoans
- 		Ostracods
- Minor Foods*:
- 		Ophuiroids		Gastropods
- 		Bivalves			Decapods
- * No taxa were excluded from all categories.

## Principal Food

**	**

**Food Index =  Biased Density / Total Density**

- The goal is to include not only faunal density
-  but an idea of energy as well.

## Adjusted Biomass

## Conclusions

- The density of benthic macrofauna in the 	Suwannee River Estuary is within the range 	of other estuaries around the Gulf of Mexico.
- The distribution of taxa is patchy within the 	estuary.
- The use of total density may not be the best 	method for predicting where juvenile	 	sturgeon might be preferentially feeding.

## Tevatron Lattice Function Retrieval: OAC & Super Table

- Elliott McCrory
- April 28, 2005

## Background

- Lattice functions used by OAC changed last Thursday
- OAC & Super Table use the same Java class to obtain lattice functions
- Gov.fnal.controls.applications.osdaphysics
- Class LatticeFunctionFactory
*Lattice functions are (gack!) hard coded (!!)*
- Due to version mismatch, these have been different since ~December
- Version numbers match now.

- E. McCrory

## Lattice Function Comparison

| Location | Cases | Old Beta | Old Disp | New beta | New Disp | Comments |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| E11 H | 4 thru 10 | 86.9 | 2.87 | 83.5 | 2.83 | (Note 1) |
| E11 V | 4 thru 10 | 101.3 | -0.033 | 80.93 | -0.142 | (Note 1) |
| E17 H | 4 thru 10 | 67.6 | 4.49 | 62.5 | 4.58 | (Note 1) |
| E11 H | 11-15 | 86.2 | 2.71 | 80.161 | 2.030 | (Note 1) |
| E11 V | 11-15 | 59.4 | -0.011 | 80.804 | 0.039 | (Note 1) |
| E17 H | 11-15 | 67.6 | 5.05 | 68.157 | 5.278 | (Note 1) |
| SyncLite | proton H | 50.005 | 1.517 | 50.005 | 1.517 | Unchanged |
| SyncLite | proton V | 107.862 | -0.082 | 107.862 | -0.082 | Unchanged |
| SyncLite | pbar H | 34.040 | 1.182 | 34.040 | 1.182 | Unchanged |
| SyncLite | pbar V | 101.648 | -0.045 | 101.648 | -0.045 | Unchanged |

-  Note 1. The "Old" values in these rows are from Valeri's document from last November, BeamDocs #1465.
-  The "New" lattice functions are only new for the OAC. These numbers have been used in the Super Table for a long time.

- E. McCrory

## Why???

- OAC and the Super Table use the same code
- The numbers had to be coordinated someday.
- Last Thursday was the day.
- Why: old Super Table numbers, not #1465?
- Extensive discussions
*Nathan, Vladimir, Valeri, Jean, Vaia, me and others, *
*Compromise solution that everyone agreed on. *
- Valeri's numbers from #1465 were deemed to be too different from other measurements that gave "more believable emittances".

- E. McCrory

## New version of LatticeFunctionFactory.java 

- New and improved package
- gov.fnal.controls.applications.storephysics
- Collects lattice functions from a well-known place.
- Online database,
- http://mccrory.fnal.gov/TevatronLattice
- Time Stamped
- Super Table can be recalculated for all times
- Option to select different flavor lattice functions
- for example, "Design" vs. "Measured."
- Real Soon Now:
- Select different flavors of "measured" lattice functions
*"This Weeks Gold Lattice" versus "Todays Test Lattice“*
- Become important when the new Tevatron BPMs are producing new lattice functions all the time.

## STAR CuCu Min bias Narrow Event totals (as of 2/9 10 am)

- STAR CuCu Min bias Narrow Event totals (as of 2/9 10 am)
- Presented at RHIC Coordination mtg. February 9, 2005.
- Bill Christie

-  Currently 35.8 Mevts of Min-bias
-  ~ 26 days to go (till 3/7)
-  44/26 = ~1. 7Mevts/day (to reach 80 Mevts)
-  Goal is challenging, but with increased # of hours of Physics beam per week, looks to be within reach.

- ~ 1.7 Mevts/day

## BEMC HT18 Trigger Totals (as of 2/9 ~10 am)

- BEMC HT18 Trigger Totals (as of 2/9 ~10 am)

-  Need about 6.6 Mevts
-  1060 kevts as of 2/9 10 am
-  26 days left until 3/7
-  5.54 Mevts/26 days ~ 213 kevts/day
-  Looks ~ doable, if more uptime.

-  STAR BUR Goal was to sample ~ 1 to 2 nb-1 with the High Pt Trigger.
-  1 nb-1 is equivalent to ~ 4.3 Mevts of this HT trigger.
-  6.6 Mevts is ~ 1.5 nb-1 sampled.
-  If taken at ~ 50% Detector live, requires ~ 3 nb-1 delivered.

## DAQ Hours

- Beam Conditions
- 3 pm 2/8 to 9 am 2/9

**DAQ Hours**
- Total 1/14 to 9 am 2/9 = 153.09 hrs
- <DAQ hrs/day> ~ 5.67 hrs/day

## Question about increasing the * for the STAR IR

- 	I was asked to respond to the question whether it would be beneficial to STAR to reduce it’s * from the current value (.85 m ?, 1 m ?) by something like a factor of two. The apparent logic being that then PHENIX gets all the background, and STAR can turn on 10 to 20 minutes sooner in each store.
- 	STAR is not interested in this idea. Early in stores we “easily” handle all of the rare High Tower triggers presented.
- Possible Strategy to maximize Physics output from remainder of top energy Cu Cu running.
- 	As shown, since the start of the “Physics running” we’ve been averaging only ~ 5.7 hrs per day of actual Physics (excludes calibration, pedestal, testing runs) data taking. Further beam development has been presented as holding out “reasonable” possibility to increase luminosity by something like 20% (?). Reliable, reproducible stores, look to reasonably present the possibility to increase the Physics output (# of rare and mb triggers) by a factor of two.
- 	My preference is to have near term, concerted efforts focus on Reliability of operations, reproducibility of stores, faster collimation, and more uptime hours.
- 	Understanding the luminosity limits of RHIC is, and continues to be, crucially important. I’d suggest that, at this point, in this run (top energy CuCu), that this further study be delegated to Beam Experiments.
