## Acquisition/ Development Of A Mixed Mode FractureTesting Instrument For Research And Education In Adhesion ScienceDavid A. Dillard and Donatus OhanehiEngineering Science and Mechanics Department Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State UniversitySponsorship: National Science Foundation DMR-0415840

-  **Intellectual Merit: **A unique dual-actuator loading frame is being developed with capabilities of providing an instantaneous and infinitely variable mode mix for fracture mechanics studies of adhesively bonded or laminated beam specimens. The design allows one to produce any desired combination of in-plane mode mixity with a single standard double cantilever beam specimen. The flexibility in mode mixity is achieved through use of two actuators driven by standard servo controllers, which may be independently operated at any desired amplitude and phase difference. To size the unit appropriately, a design space was created in which load and displacement restrictions can be superimposed in a fracture energy versus adherend stiffness space.  This design space approach is expected to be a useful guide to instrument users and others for conducting fracture tests on laminated or bonded beam specimens. The instrument is currently being fabricated and is expected to be operational this fall.  Patent application is underway.
**Broader Impact: **Several students have or will participate in the experimental effort to built and utilize this instrument, obtaining significant experience in fracture testing and analysis, finite element modeling of fracture events and crack propagation, and the effects of mode mixity, adherend surface pretreatment, and material durability. A conference presentation and journal article are currently being prepared to convey concept and instrument design.  Plans are underway to utilize the instrument on several significant projects.

## Beam-beam experiments at BNL

- Tanaji Sen

## Long-range at store

-  * = 1m large separations possible (>40) effect on Q, Q small

-  * = 100m only smaller separations ~8(needs to be explored) effect on Q, Q large

## Experiments to date

- April 5th – 1 bunch per beam, interaction at nominal location
- April 12th – 1 bunch per beam, interaction at IP6
- May 3rd - ~10 bunches per beam, interaction at nominal location
- May 24th - ~10 bunches per beam, interaction at nominal location, tune scan. Octupoles used to increase nonlinearities.
- May 30th - ~10 bunches per beam, interaction at nominal location, operate near 0.75. Octupoles on.

## May 24th – losses, tunes

- Losses are
- small at
- separations
-  > 4 σ
- at these tunes

## Losses vs separation – May 24th

- Yellow beam was moved
- Losses are larger in the blue beam
- Drop as separation increased from 8 to 11 σ
- Flat between 8 to ~6.5 σ
- Drop as separation increased from 6 to 9 σ

- (1)

- (2)

- (3)

## May 30th – initial tunes

- Beam was lost shortly after moving
- to these tunes. This was the 2nd
- attempt to operate at these tunes,
- beam was lost both times.

**Blue: Qx=0.735, Qy= 0.742**
**Yellow: Qx=0.736, Qy=0.739**

## Beam-beam simulations - BBSIM

- 7th

- 11th

- Simulations imply impact of 11th order resonances is weak

## Summary

- Effect of single parasitic explored at separations between 1 – 11σ
- Nonlinearities were enhanced with the addition of octupoles
- At nominal tunes, effect of the parasitic is felt for separations ≤ 4 σ
- Attempts to explore tunes near 0.75 resulted in beam loss
- Simulations show that effects are stronger near tune of 0.7 than near 0.72.
- Further simulations planned to study parameter space used in the experiments. Need to find ways to enhance beam-beam effect.

- Both Solenoid and Toroid were turned on at their full strength with all 8 different polarity configurations (Saturday)
- An unintentional quench of the solenoid occurred  Recovered nicely from the quench
- Solenoid field was measured with NMR at 2.01T
- Toroid field was measured by the gauss meter at 1.7T
- Experts monitored infrastructure during the magnet power up and down  No issues was observed at all.
- An SMT IB crate LVPS tripped and couldn’t be reset  don’t think correlated w/ Magnet
- Field strength measurement and polarity check performed  Fringe field at various locations throughout the detectors are typically at around 50 gauss
- Performed more systematic magnet on testing Sunday
- Magnet on survey in the morning  Observed 119mil shift in toroid position
- Took data at two polarity configurations  No problem other than expected gain reduction of some PMTs observed at the expected level

## DØ Status + Conclusions

- We have a solenoid temperature issue
- Running bit too close to due point  Bad impact to CFT fibers
- We can run SMT temperature about 20oC higher than normal  SMT can survive as long as beam exposure is low (please don’t dump beam on our SMT )
- But need to fix it before high luminosity running
- We are getting ready for S&S this afternoon
- Normal shift operation began from the day shifts today
- DØ is entering a more serious commissioning phase
- Need to coordinate with BD more on
- Magnet effect to beam tunes
- Quiet times
- More regular beam-on/off schedule

- NSE works perfectly to study the dynamics of spin ice:
- - works in the time domain
- - gives just the right time range
- - q information tells it is single ion relaxation
- - data is ‘clean’ because magnetic scattering is separated
- NSE proves that there are two relaxation mechanisms in spin ice.
- Consistent picture with ac susceptibility results.
- Next: extend NSE study to the Dy spin ice system
- 	(use of isotopic sample required)
- 	where nuclear Dy spins are much weaker than those of Ho

- Vince Cianciolo
- Muon Meeting
- BNL, 12/16/2000

## What Will RHIC Provide?

- 4 weeks of cooldown (starting 4/1).
- 3 weeks AuAu beam tests plus minimum 300 b-1 AuAu full energy (12 weeks).
- 3 weeks spin commisioning + 5 weeks running (goal to reach BB).
- Remainder (16-22 weeks) undecided.
- Bias is to do AuAu energy scan.
- STAR (J. Thomas) is definitely interested in light-ion running.
- RHIC (T. Roser) didn’t discount the possibility, but said that a proposal needed to be submitted because some ion-source study is needed.

## What Can We Hope To See?

- J/:’: = 1200:20:1  The only HVM program for this year is the J/ .
- I haven’t looked at the  because I’ve always been told that you can’t do it in the South Arm.
- Single muons?

## Centrality Dependence

## Kinematic Dependence

- Figure of xF, pT dependence from E866 PRL goes here.

## - J. Nagle

## J/ and Rates

-  ppJ/ = 3.3b (color evap. scaled to 200 GeV/c).
-  AAJ/ = ppJ/ *A1.84 (no anom. suppression, no charm enhancement)
- 6% Muon B.R.
- 4.3% integrated south arm acceptance.
- Experiment up-time=75%
- RHIC up-time=75%
- Max  LVL1 rate = 6kHz
- Max  triggers-to-tape rate (5 MB/sec)
- Event sizes (kB): AuAu=200, CuCu=84, pp=30

## Rates and Trigger Requirements

- AuAu, 100+100 GeV, 300 b-1
- #J/ = 33000
- LVL1 required = 1
- LVL1*LVL2 required = 58

## Rates and Trigger Requirements

- pp, 100+100 GeV, 5 weeks, <L> = 50%BB
- #J/ = 40000
- LVL1 required = 38
- LVL1*LVL2 required = 1345

## Rates and Trigger Requirements

- AuAu, 65+65 GeV, 2 weeks, L=BB
- #J/ = 8000
- LVL1 required = 1
- LVL1*LVL2 required = 38
- AuAu, 30+30 GeV, 2 weeks, L=BB
- #J/ = 1750
- LVL1 required = 1
- LVL1*LVL2 required = 18

## Rates and Trigger Requirements

- CuCu, 100+100 GeV, 2 weeks,  <L>=50%BB
- #J/ = 50000
- LVL1 required = 6
- LVL1*LVL2 required = 533
- OO, 100+100 GeV, 2 weeks, <L>=50%BB
- #J/ = 36000
- LVL1 required = 24
- LVL1*LVL2 required = 1215

## Summary of Trigger Requirements

- LL1 looks fine for next year, even gets us much of the way to LL1*LL2 requirements.
- Even if LL1 performs as well as estimated, we will still need additional rejection at LL2, especially for a light-ion run.

## Conclusions

- We will need both LL1 and LL2 triggers in order to take full advantage of the luminosity that RHIC will provide.
- We will get decent samples (measured in the tens of thousands) of J/’s in the South Muon arm for AuAu, pp.
- We will not get a notable sample of ’ or .

## Conclusions. Cont.

- We would get quite small data sets from any kind of energy scan this year, **but** we would get sizeable data sets from even short (2 week) light-ion runs.
- During RUN2002 we could gain data rate of nearly an order of magnitude (second muon arm + RHIC luminosity increase). With this improvement we could get a sizeable data sample in a length of time that would mesh well with the desires of STAR & PHOBOS.

## XAL for SLAC/LCLS

- Paul Chu

## Tasks

- Database work
- Preparing a database to store *static* accelerator information.
- Querying the DB and creating XAL XML file
- Jython script + minor manual editing
- Eclipse BIRT and SLAC DB web interface as check up tools
- K <-> B conversion
- XAL work
- SMF modification for LCLS specific devices
- Using a “mapping” file for device type -> class, instead of hardwiring
- Online model modification for LCLS specific devices
- Cavities with end-focusing
- Solenoids
- LCLS CVS setup
- Our own XAL since August
- XAL jar files wrapped as an Eclipse plug-in
- XAL classes are available to other SEAL plug-ins
- Benchmark comparison between online model and MAD

## XAL Work in More Detail

- Due to tight schedule, hacked into XAL code directly for SMF, online model.
- Still need to add *Lots* of very LCLS-specific device/PV support, e.g. the “beam synchronous acquisition” PVs.
- Manually adding RF cavity “gaps” to XAL XML file.

## XAL Setup

- Besides the XAL XML file preparation, XAL setup is relatively easy
- Following the “How-to” comes with the package
- Set up a couple environment variables
- Get source code, build JAR files
- (optional) Set up JCA
- (optional) Choose JCA/JNI or JCA/CAJ in Java Preferences
- (optional) Set up “default” accelerator
- (optional) Set up “default” database connectivity

## XAL Applications for LCLS

- Only these can be (almost) right out of box
- Knobs
- Launcher (Eclipse have its own)
- Orbit display
- Scan 1D and 2D
- SCORE – with right database setup
- Online model (MPX)
- XIO
- + a couple more...

## XAL in SEAL

**XAL in SEAL**

- All but XAL frame GUI classes are available in SEAL.

## Conclusion

- Significant amount of work is for database -> XAL XML file setup
- Experience
- if not using Eclipse, things get slightly easier
- XAL GUI frame can be used
- So far, our difficulty is mainly from Eclipse, not XAL
- But, we only did in “quick-and-dirty” way

## Recent Evolution: OLR

-  During 13-22 October (top panel) enhanced precipitation (negative OLR anomalies) was observed over the western Amazon Basin, Bolivia, Paraguay, northeastern Argentina and southern Brazil. Drier-than-normal conditions were observed over northeastern Brazil.
-  During 23 October – 1 November (middle panel) negative OLR anomalies (enhanced precipitation) were observed over southeastern Brazil and the western Atlantic. Positive anomalies (below-average precipitation) were observed over northeastern Brazil, Bolivia and the western Amazon Basin.
-  During 2-11 November, wetter-than normal conditions continued over portions of southeastern Brazil, while drier-than-normal conditions strengthened over Northeast Brazil and the northern Amazon Basin.

## Atmospheric Circulation & OLR Last 5 days

**Atmospheric Circulation & OLR Last 5 days**

-  **During the last 5 days low OLR (left panel) was observed from the western Amazon southeastward across  southeastern Brazil and over the western South Atlantic Ocean. **
** ****Precipitation was above normal (negative OLR anomalies, right panel) over southeastern Brazil,  and below normal (positive OLR anomalies, right panel) over most of the Amazon Basin, Northeast Brazil, and Bolivia.**
** ****During this period an amplified 200-hPa trough (dashed lines lower panels) was located over Argentina, and enhanced low-level (850-hPa) northwesterly flow (dashed red oval, upper right panel) extended from the western Amazon Basin to Southeast Brazil.**

## Summary

-  **Season-to-date rainfall has been near normal in western Brazil.**
** ****The rainy season was slow to start over central and southeastern Brazil.**
** ****During the last 90 days, rainfall deficits of 120 mm have been observed over portions of central and southeastern Brazil.**

## Heavy-quark collectivityLight-quark thermalizationat RHIC October 14, 2005

## The masses

- Higgs mass: electro-weak symmetry breaking. (current quark mass)
- QCD mass: Chiral symmetry breaking. (constituent quark mass)
-   Strong interactions do not affect heavy-quark mass.

- Muller
- nucl-th/0404015

## Lattice QCD - the Equation of State 

- (1) Large increase of degrees of freedom at Tc seen in quick change in
-    energy density and pressure
- (2) Pressure gradient, d**p**/d**e** generates collective flow
*                                                     **F. Karsch and E. Laerman,  hep-lat/0305025*

## Equation of State

- _Equation of state_:
-  **EOS I **:  relativistic ideal gas: *p* = /3
-  **EOS H**:  resonance gas: *p* ~ /6
-  **EOS Q**:  Maxwell construction:
- 	*T*crit= 165 MeV, *B*1/4 = 0.23 GeV
- 	**lat=1.15 GeV/fm3
-                *P. Kolb et al., Phys. Rev.*_*** C62***_*, 054909 (2000).*

-  EOS - the system response to the changes of the thermal condition - is fixed by its ***p*** and ***T ***(********)**.

## Physics goals at RHIC

**Identify and study the properties of matter with partonic degrees of freedom.**
-     _***Penetrating probes***_	         _***Bulk probes***_
-       - direct photons, leptons	           - spectra, v1, v2 ...
-       - “jets” and **heavy flavor**	          - partonic collectivity
- 				          - fluctuations
-         _jets_            - observed high pT hadrons (at RHIC, pT(min) > 3 GeV/c)
-          _collectivity_  - collective motion of observed hadrons, not necessarily reached
-                              thermalization among them.

## Spectrum coverage

- Reconstructed charm-hadron measurements are important
- for determining the total charm cross sections!

- <pT> ~ 1.3 GeV/c

## Electrons: a mixture c- & b- hadrons

- Current energy loss mechanisms can only account for part of strong suppression of RAA for electrons.

## Charm quark collective motion

- Electrons cannot disentangle low pT collective property of charm hadrons.
**→ ****Need precise measurement of recon. D at low p****T ****(<~3GeV/c)!**

*S. Batsouli, et al, **Phys.Lett.B 557 (2003) 26*

*Electrons: Smearing in p**T** axis*

## Non-photonic electron v2

- Non-photonic electron v2

***- Experiments do not agree (2<p******T******<5 GeV/c)!***
***- Hadron decays complicate the analysis***

## Correlations

- The birth mark - back-to-back correlation is lost in the decayed electrons. Measure the reconstructed heavy-quark hadrons are necessary!

## Correlations in medium

- In dense medium, heavy-quark *energy loss*, back-to-back *correlation smearing*, and the development of collective motion *v**2* are all related.
- Energy loss:
-  gluon radiative
-  collisional

## Summary

- (1) pQCD properties in hot and dense medium
- (2) heavy-quark collectivity and light-quark thermalization
-     Measure reconstructed heavy-quark hadrons!
