## U.S. ATLAS Summary

**Howard Gordon**
**Deputy U.S. ATLAS Project Manager**

## Research Program Tension

- David R. Quarrie, LBNL               PCAP Review

- October 31, 2001

## Our Next Actions for FY03

- Since the DOE/NSF Review of the Research Program in April
- We have scrubbed the M&O budgets for FY03 and FY04
- We have reduced the needs by about $2.4 M by squeezing and stretching items
- If there are no additional funds in FY03 we must cut further
- Eliminate Reserve - $586k – risky to have NO reserve
- Consider assigning ~$700k to the Construction Project Contingency
- Effects priority on the Baseline deliverables plus priorities for having a working initial detector
- Reduce computing reserve and project office support to zero - $177k
- Assume Project Office costs on M&O can be set to zero – depends on how the NSF funds appear – new contracts?  $308k
- This would still leave a $768k management challenge for FY03

- David R. Quarrie, LBNL               PCAP Review

- October 31, 2001

## How to meet the Management Challenge?

- Look at delaying additional labor costs: Software, Physics
- Look at delaying some hardware costs – will we get any year end money for hardware as in past years?
- If the NSF funding is significantly delayed as this year, this impacts the way we approach the solution
- There is no magic solution – just less work
- We are pursuing a large ITR proposal – but that would only start helping in FY04

## Freedom to FishA Collaborative Effortin Maryland

- Bill Windley
- Maryland Saltwater Sportfishermen’s Assoc.

## Freedom to Fish

- Management techniques such as MPA’s must be supported by science
- Meeting benchmarks before closing areas to public recreational fishing
- Avoiding unnecessary and unwanted closings
- Avoiding unnecessary restriction of popular outdoor activity of fishing

## Standards and Guidelines

- Clear indication of negative impact of rod and reel fishing
- Consideration of less severe conservation measures first
- Size, possession limits, seasonal closures
- Measurable criteria to determine conservation benefit

## Standards and Guidelines

- Timeline for periodic review
- Closed area no larger than that supported by science
- Provisions in place for reopening

## Current Regulations

- State and Federal
- Protection of fish stocks
- Recovery of depleted stocks

## Freedom to Fish

- Does not prevent state action
- Does not inhibit protection and management
- Does recognize economic impact of recreational fishing
- Does recognize important tax revenues

## Collaboration

- MSSA and RFA assembled
- CCA
- Trout Unlimited
- Maryland Aquatic Resources Council
- DNR
- Chesapeake Bay Foundation
- World Wildlife Fund

## Issues and Concerns

- DNR – don’t make a law overly restrictive of their fisheries management
- Environmental groups – standards should not be set so high that there would never be closed areas

## Process

- Took almost a year
- Patience, no rushing
- Allowed time away from table to analyze language
- Allowed time for legal review by CCA and RFA counsel
- Good relationships between people at the table

- Agreement that all options will be considered before an area is closed
- State produces a written report on necessity of closing
- Relief through judicial process
- Reopening timeline
- Originally 3 years, but recognition that longer may be needed in some areas with scientific justification

## A Good Law

- For Maryland
- For Nation?
- Science must support closures
- All interested parties involved
- Closures often unnecessary to achieve conservation goals, so only utilized when supported by science
- Other management techniques routinely achieve conservation goals

**Sophomore Eric Giles, 2004 Symposium**

- In addition to conducting a significant research project, students are participating in seminar-style lectures on  polymer science, lab safety, technical career decisions, and ethics. Last year’s highly successful undergraduate research symposium with the

- University of Akron is being expanded to include students conducting polymer research at other REU sites (a total of 60 participants).  Students are housed in the same dormitory complex, with social activities ranging from team sports, picnics and dinners, and amusement park and spectator sport outings.  Coordination with other CWRU undergraduate summer programs expanded the range of new interactions that the students gained. Five students from the 2004 program are returning to CWRU as PhD students this year.

- The primary focus of this REU program is on
- creating opportunities in research for students who otherwise would not have access to research and polymer programs, forming a cadre of individuals that is rich in traditionally underrepresented groups.

## A TRIAL OF REDUCING AUTOGENOUS SHRINKAGE BY RECYCLED AGGREGATE 

- Ippei Maruyama
- Ryoichi Sato

## Objective

- High-Strength Concrete has a risk of early age cracking due to authogenous shrinkage.
- How to control the risk of early-age cracking?

**Notes:**
The crack in the High strength concrete is critical compared to the crack in the conventional strength concrete. Because the matrix of  High strength concrete is denser, therefore it can be said that the existence of crack in high strength concrete is rather significant compared to that in normal high strength concrete. 

## Background

- Countermeasures:
- -Expansive additive
- -Shrinkage-reducing agent
- -C2S rich cement
- Some people try to compensate the self-desiccation:
- Porous lightweight aggregate
- Super adsorbent polymer particle

## Objective 2

- We use saturated recycled aggregate.

- Because...
- It is important to enhance the rate of use.
- -limitation of resources(natural aggregate)
- -shortage of dump yards
- -decrease of reusing for pavement or back filling

## Concrete

- Conventional High Strength Concrete

- High Strength Concrete with recycled aggregate

- Recycled fine aggregate: 10% absorption, 30% paste in mass.
- Recycled coarse aggregate: 6% absorption, 40% mortar in mass.

- 0.25
- 0.25

## Experiment

- -Compressive strength
- -Young’s modulus
- -Splitting tensile strength
- -Autogenous shrinkage
-   (drying shrinkage after 28 days)
- -Self induced stress test by beam specimen

- Reinforcement ratio: 1.06%, 2.39%

## Experiment

## Results (Compressive Strength, Young’s modulus)

- 71.2

- 66.1

- 33.3

- 28.3

- Using recycle aggregate reduce the compressive strength and Young’s modulus.

- (93%)

- (85%)

## Results (Splitting Tensile strength)

- About 70%

## Results (Deformation)

- Using recycle aggregate reduce the autogenous shrinkage remarkably.
- But total shrinkage after drying of recycled concrete exceeds conventional high-strength concrete.

- (40%)

- (120%)

## Results (Self-induced stress)

- Results (Self-induced stress)

- (70%)

- Using recycle aggregate reduce the self induced stress efficiently.
- This can be explained by smaller shrinkage, Young’s modulus, and larger creep.

- 80

**1.06%**

**2.39%**

- (75%)

## Conclusion

- Using saturated recycled aggregate can reduce autogenous shrinkage.
- Using recycled aggregate decrease compressive and splitting tensile strength and Young’s modulus.
- Further study for optimizing the early-age cracking risk and compressive strength is necessary for efficient use of recycled aggregate.

## What is MPI?

**What is MPI?**

**MPI is an interface, not an implementation**
**Implementations have different goals**
**research, stability, performance, portability**
**TCP, InfiniBand, or Portals**
**Threads / independent progress or lowest latency**
**Latency vs. zero copy eager**
**MPI implementations do adapt and change**
**SMP optimizations**
**RDMA interfaces**
**But what are we adapting to?**

## Multicore + MPI

**Multicore + MPI**

**MPI’s path forward dependent on hardware trends**
**Yes, we know multicore is coming, but...**
**Will caches be coherent?**
**Will it have hardware multithreading?**
**Will it have lightweight synchronization primitives?**
**Will it have homogeneous cores?**
**Will there be better hardware offload for messaging?**
**HPC will have little influence over the answers to these questions**
**The answers will influence MPI implementations**

## Multicore + MPI

**Multicore + MPI**

**MPI point-to-point performance limited by matching costs**
**NIC offload makes this pretty easy, of course**
**Software approaches have cache collision problems**
**Threading + limited cache coherency?**
**MPI + Threads pushes towards multi-threaded MPI**
**Currently quite expensive (locks in critical path)**
**Lightweight synchronization limits cost**
**Independent progress finally arrive?**
**Needs hardware support or threads**

## Booster/Beam Status

*Eric Prebys*
- FNAL Beams Division

## Basic Facts

- Proton Source will not be a limiting factor in Run II for the foreseeable future.
- Maximum Run II stacking protons ~1.2E16 p/hr (5E12 ea. 1.5s).
- MiniBooNE wants ~1E17 p/hr (5E12@5Hz).
- NUMI wants ~5E16 p/hr or more.

## Proton Timelines

- Everything measured in 15 Hz “clicks”
- Minimum M.I. Ramp = 22 clicks = 1.4 s
- MiniBoone batches “don’t count”.
- Cycle times of interest
- Stack cycle: 1 inj + 22 MI ramp = 23 clicks = 1.5 s
- NuMI cycle: 6 inj + 22 MI ramp = 28 clicks = 1.9 s
- Full Slipstack cycle (total 11 batches):
-         6 inject+ 2 capture (6 -> 3)+ 2 inject+ 2 capture (2 -> 1)+ 2 inject+ 2 capture (2 -> 1)+ 1 inject+ 22 M.I. Ramp----------------------39 clicks = 2.6 s

## Summary of Proton Ecomomics (MiniBooNE and Beyond)

- Booster Hardware Issues

- Radiation Issues

- *assuming 5E12 protons per batch

## Protons to MiniBooNE this Week

- Total

- MiniBooNE

- Stacking

## Typical Performance

- Per pulse intensity (E12)

- MiniBooNE rate (p/hr)

- Booster Power Loss

## In Short...

- MiniBooNE is running.
- We typically take 1.5-2.0 times as many protons as stacking.
- This number needs to go up by about a factor of 8.

## What it Limiting MiniBooNE

- (Longitudinal?) instabilities in the Booster are limiting the per pulse intensity to ~3.7E12 ppp.
- Normalized tunnel losses limit the total protons to about 2E16 pph when the Booster is running well.
- Beam power loss limit (currently 400 W) is similar.
- Heating in the extraction septum (MP02) currently limits MiniBooNE rate to ~.9 Hz during stacking.

## Effect of Longitudinal Damping

- High Dispersion Region

- No Dampers

- Dampers Working

- Occasional Bad Pulse at High Intensity (trips loss monitors)

## Tunnel Losses

## Booster Limitations

- Trip point

- “Troublesome” losses (shown as diamonds)

- Beam power loss

- Total protons/min. out of Booster (blue crosses)

- MP02 Temp.

## Transition Problem

- Booster Charge

- Beam Energy Lost (B:BELOST)

- Half our Problem is Transition!!!

## Plan

- New Power Supply is Ready for MP02.  Negotiating time to connect, but probably won’t happen until early November, because of the impact on Run II.
- At the same time, we will do a magnet move which should improve some of the worst losses (L13, L22, L24).
- It is unlikely that collimator shielding will be installed until the January shutdown.
- Finally making progress in beam orbit correction. Tuning to reduce loss at high intensity.
- New extraction septum nearly ready to be pumped down and tested. Will be installed during January shutdown.

## Questions

- How can we improve longitudinal damping stability at >4E12 ?
- Will transverse dampers improve things at high intensity?
- Why do we lose >30% of the beam early in the cycle?
- How can we reduce transition losses?

## Stony Brook UpdateBill and Ted’s Cosmic Adventure

- T.K. Hemmick for the Wyld Stallions

## Gains Normalized for P/T

- Using the curve above (J. Kamin, 2007), we can deduce the normalization factor to determine the gain at P/T = 2.560
- This was different from running conditions:
- Bill <P/T> = 2.596
- Ted <P/T> = 2.606

## Bill S. Preston, esq.

## Ted Theodore Logan

## Cosmic Studies are Finished.

- We believe that the starting points for operation in PHENIX are now well enough defined that we’re ready for Run-9.

- Excellent!!!

## Cube Measurements

- Some bogus news.
- Apparently the microdot connector is either:
- Damaged (Poor connection)
- Mis-threaded.
- Despite this trouble, Bob sees peaks both for scintillation and 55Fe from the measurements.
- He’ll present more.

## The Interrelationship between PAT and Six Sigma

**Edison, NJ 08820**
**732-906-6155****e-mail: **_[smarash](mailto:smarash@thesamgroup.com)__[@](mailto:smarash@thesamgroup.com)__[thesamgroup](mailto:smarash@thesamgroup.com)__[.com](mailto:smarash@thesamgroup.com)_
**Visit: www.statamatrix.com/fda**

**The Interrelationship between ****PAT and Six Sigma**
**Presented by****Dr. Stanley A. Marash, P.E.**
**Chairman and CEO**
**STAT-A-MATRIX/The SAM Group**
**Food and Drug Administration - PAT****Pharmaceutical Science Advisory Committee Meeting**
**October  21-23, 2002**

## Motivation

**Significant potential and need exists for improving the efficiencies of pharmaceutical manufacturing and associated regulatory processes (Dr. Ajaz S. Hussain - May 8, 2002)**

## PAT

**Technological opportunities (e.g. PAT) available for realizing this potential–but industry reluctant due to regulatory uncertainties (Dr. Hussain)**

## Six Sigma

**Many aspects of the industry have adopted Six Sigma. Both PAT and 6********are process oriented approaches to achieving efficiencies, reduced cycle time and improved quality**

- 6s

## Why PAT?

**PAT provides an opportunity to move from the current “testing to document quality” paradigm to a “continuous quality assurance” paradigm that can improve our ability to ensure quality was “built-in” or was “by design” – ultimate realization of the true spirit of cGMP. (Dr. Hussain)**

## Why Six Sigma?

**	****D****efine****	****M****easure****	****A****nalyze****	****D****esign****	****V****erify**

**Six Sigma embraces both continuous improvement and breakthrough performance. The process includes models for manufacturing, design and administrative services**

**Design For Six Sigma (DFSS)**

**Manufacturing & Administrative**

**Notes:**
Generally accepted model (most literature) also: plan, do, check, act.

## Goals and Objectives

**Using PAT as a model technological opportunity, develop a regulatory framework to facilitate introduction of new manufacturing technologies that enhance process efficiencies and understanding **
**Identify and eliminate perceived/real regulatory hurdles**
**Develop a dynamic, team based, scientific approach ****for regulatory assessment...of new technologies ****(Dr. Hussain)**

## PAT

**Can PAT win the industry’s confidence or are the perceived/real “regulatory hurdles” too difficult to overcome?**

## Six Sigma

**Does Six Sigma have the advantage of:**
**No (or less) regulatory constraints**
**Perception of an industry program **_**not**_** an agency program**

## Fusion ManagementTM

**A tool for fusing PAT and Six Sigma to overcome the existing constraints**

## A MIM depicting  intramolecular domains, their modifications and molecular interactions:

***Activation of src by EGFR***

## The SH3 domain binds the Pro domain.

- Src has the following domains:
-    SH3:  binds to proline-rich domains
-    SH2:  binds to phosphotyrosine motifs
-    Pro:   proline-rich domain
-    kinase:  tyrosine kinase domain

## The Src tail region can be phosphorylated at Tyr 527.

## The SH2 domain binds to the tyrosine-phosphorylated tail.

## The 2 intra-molecular bonds form cooperatively, and fold the Src molecule, hiding the kinase domain and keeping Src in an inactive configuration.

## Src binds to plasma membrane through a myristyl group.

## Src’s tyrosine kinase domain could phosphorylate various substrates

## Phosphorylation of Tyr416 is required for the kinase to be active.

## Activated (phosphorylated) EGFR could phosphorylate Tyr416

## However, access to Tyr416 is blocked by the intra-molecular folding.

## SRC activation:

- Through one of its phosphotyrosines, activated EGFR recruits p85.

## Pro domain of p85 competes with Pro of Src for binding to SH3 of Src

## Phosphotyrosine of EGFR competes with P-Tyr527 of Src for binding to SH2 of Src

## Then a phosphatase can remove Tyr527 . . .

- With Tyr527 gone, Src cannot refold and remains active even if it dissociates from the EGFR:p85 complex.
- Thus multiple Src’s can be activated by a single active EGFR -- *i.e*., an amplification step.
