## FIRE Engineering/Physics

- C. Kessel
- Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory
- June 25-26, 2003

## PF Coil Flexibility

- Reference scenario, Ip=7.7 MA, Bt=10 T, with new coils is OK
- Must do li,∆ scan ( has weak influence here, will do some as a check)
- Base AT scenario, Ip=4.5 MA, Bt=6.5 T, with new coils is OK
- Must do li,∆,N scan
- Must include appropriate flattop time from nuclear heating or TF coil

## Internal Control Coils and Plasma Control

- Vertical position control
- I(peak)=55-75 kA-turns, V(peak)=50-75 V/turn
- Simulations should be redone
- Use same coils for radial position control (antenna coupling)
- Current will roughly be doubled
- Simulations should be done
- Plasma shape control simulations
- Have been using shape control in TSC AT and reference discharge simulations
- Still need to show in control simulations

## Disruption Analysis

- Adhere to ITER disruption guidelines
- quench = 0.1-0.5 ms
- dIp/dt(max) = 3 MA/ms
- Ihalo(max) = 0.25  Ip (peaking factors are to be used in Opera or VV analysis)
- Vertical disruption
- dIp/dt = 3MA/ms
- Ihalo = 2 MA
- Near midplane disruption
- dIp/dt = 3 MA/ms
- Ihalo = 2 MA
- Structure model

## RWM Feedback Coils

- FIRE has approximately 3-4 times the DIII-D plasma current, so we might be able to measure down to 3-4 G
- If we try to guarantee at least 10 times this value from the feedback coils, we must produce 30-40 G at the plasma
- These fields require approximately I = ZBr/o = 5-6.5 kA
- Assume we also require wall≈3
- Required voltage would go as V ≈ 3oRNI/wall
- Differences:
- DIII-D has coils outside the VV, far away, FIRE’s are very close
- DIII-D has 6 coils, FIRE has 8 with smaller toroidal extent
- DIII-D VV is made of Inconel, FIRE has Cu cladding on SS (wall)
- FIRE has large ports providing smaller wall area (VALEN model is accurate)

## Startup Analysis

- Yeah yeah I know.......

## Other Physics Analysis

- _0D operating space_, conventional and AT
- _Ideal MHD stability_, conventional and AT (ballooning and n=1 kink no wall), VALEN analysis, sawtooth in TSC dynamic simulation (needs updating)
- _Confinement and transport_, TSC simulation and 0D systems analysis
- _Ripple losses_, conventional and AT, ferritic shims for AT (needs analysis)
- _Heating and CD_, ECCD has a story, (could use some analysis)
- _Magnetic diagnostics_, how many and where (could use analysis)
- _NTM for conventional scenario_, (could use analysis)
- _1.5D analysis of AT_, (get theory based transport going)

## Bioinformatics and Virtual Data

**RESOURCES**
- Jazz cluster (ANL):
- Compute - 350 nodes, each with a 2.4 GHz Pentium Xeon
- Memory - 175 nodes with 2 GB of RAM, 175 nodes with 1 GB of RAM
- Storage - 20 TB of clusterwide disk: 10 TB GFS and 10 TB PVFS
- Network - Myrinet 2000

**APPLICATION**
_**GADU**_ (ANL)
- GADU (Genome Analysis and Databases Update system) is an automated system for genome/sequence analysis.
- Motivation for GADU**:** To assist high-throughput analysis of the genomes
- GADU: automates major steps of genome analysis:
- data acquisition, and
- data analysis by a variety of tools and algorithms
- data storage
- data annotation

- Genome Breaker: splits genome into sequences (~4K average)

- Chimera prepares jobs for data staging, Blast job for each sequence, final result staging, and Replica Catalog registration

- Condor-G queues all jobs on Jazz cluster

- All jobs are executed on a cluster. Result is staged to the specified location and registered with the Replica Location Service.

- Previous computations:
- ANL “Chiba city” cluster
- Custom resource-specific scripts for job submission and control
- Some Grid tools for data movement
- Average time to process one prokaryotic genome was ~5 hours
- Using 32 processors
- ~144 hours on one CPU for blasting of 4000 sequences
- New computations:
- 59 Genomes processed in 24 hours
- Genomes selected from DOE-sponsored sequencing projects
- 67 CPU-days of processing time delivered
- ~ 10,000 Grid jobs, >200,000 BLAST executions
- 50 GB of data generated
- Over 5-fold improvement in turnaround time
- <1 hour per genome, compared to previous average of ~5 hours/genome

_**BLAST**_ (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) – one of the more computationally-intensive Data Analysis tools. It is a set of similarity search programs designed to explore all of the available sequence databases regardless of whether the query is protein or DNA. BLAST uses a heuristic algorithm that seeks local as opposed to global alignments and is therefore able to detect relationships among sequences that share only isolated regions of similarity.

**JOB FLOW**

**RESULTS**

**LESSONS LEARNED**

- Modified GADU to use Grid tools to standardize job submission and control
- Chimera for data flow control
- Condor-G to manage job stream
- Globus Toolkit for data movement, job submission
- => GADU can use (in theory) any Grid resource
- Uses standard Grid protocols and tools for job description, control and management
- Not tied to resource-specific job submission scripts
- Resource can be chosen at runtime
- [www.griphyn.org/chimera, www.cs.wisc.edu/condor]

- Configuration
- Firewalls issues should be addressed when using distributed resources
- Grid configurations should be taken into account
- Things that broke under stress testing
- Tuning JAZZ to handle heavy stream of jobs
- Much help from Globus Toolkit, Condor, ANL
- Can expect similar problems with other resources
- Policy
- Some clusters are designed for large parallel jobs while GADU uses a pipelined stream of small jobs

## ALICE1 PILOT Readout Update

- Design & Test Status
- Zero-word suppression logic
- Verified working model on FPGA with Xilinx Chipscope
- Readout functionality only
- Merge w/ ASIC development @ CERN

## Timing Options

- Average readout time estimate (~10% word occupancy)

| Method | w/ suppression | w/o suppression |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1X8 parallel | 41 μs | 128 μs |
| 2X4 parallel | 67 μs | 154 μs |

- 2x4:  	Read 8 ALICE1 pixel chips, in 2 sequential readout steps of 4    	chips in parallel.  4-buffer storage.
- 1x8: 	Read 8 ALICE1 pixel chips in parallel.  8-buffer storage.
- Transmit Zero-Word Suppressed Data to Optical Chip (GOL)

**Notes:**
All other variables are not equal between 8x8 and 8x4 methods we have implemented (besides bus lines):  We have also streamlined word size ( 64b  48b ).  This accounts for the _smaller_ estimated time w/o suppression for the 8x4 case.  
For example:  	write-out GOL case for 8x8:  256 * 8 * 4(words) / 40 = 204.8 us
			write-out GOL case for 8x4:  512 * 4 * 3(words) / 40 = 153.6 us

## Prevent Fire. Save Lives. 

- A Fire Safety Campaign for People 50-Plus

## Over 50 and Loving It!

- Retirement
- Grandchildren
- Traveling
- Taking care of older relatives
- New career
- Practicing safe cooking, smoking, and heating behaviors.

## Did you know...

**Did you know...**

- Fire kills approximately 1,100 people ages 65 and older each year.
- People between ages 65 and 74 are TWICE as likely to die in a home fire.
- People between ages 75 and 84 are nearly FOUR times as likely to die in a home fire.
- People ages 85 and older are more than FIVE times as likely to die in a home fire.
**You can do something about it...**

## Smoke Safely

- Careless smoking is the leading cause of fire deaths among people ages 65 and older.
- Careless smoking is the second leading cause of fire injuries among people ages 65 and older.

## Smoke Safely

- If alcohol or medication makes you drowsy, or you’re just plain tired, put your cigarette out right away.
- Never smoke in bed.
- Use deep ashtrays and put your cigarette all the way out.
- Don’t walk away from a lit cigarette.

## Cook Safely

- Cooking is the leading cause of fire injuries for people ages 65 and older.
- Cooking is the third leading cause of fire deaths for people ages 65 and older.

## Cook Safely

- Never leave cooking unattended. A serious fire can start in just seconds.
- Always wear short or tight-fitting sleeves when you cook. Keep towels, pot holders and curtains away from flames.
- Never use the range or oven to heat your home.
- Double-check the kitchen before you go to bed or leave the house.

## Heat Your Home Safely

- Heating is the second leading cause of fire death for people ages 65 and older.
- Fires caused by heating are the third leading cause of fire injury for people ages 65 and older.

## Heat Your Home Safely

- Space heaters need space. Keep heaters at least three feet away from your bed, curtains, and flammable materials.
- When buying a space heater, look for a control feature that automatically shuts off the power if the heater falls over.
- Keep fire in the fireplace by making sure you have a screen large enough to catch flying sparks and rolling logs.

## Get Out Alive

**Smoke Alarms**: Install a smoke alarm on every level of your home, test batteries monthly and change them at least once a year.
**Home Fire Escape Plan**: Develop and practice a fire escape plan regularly, at least twice a year. Keep exits clear of debris.
**Home Fire Sprinklers**: If at all possible, install residential sprinklers in your home.

## Raman Spectroscopy for On-Line Environmental and Atmospheric AnalysisProcess Instruments Inc., Salt Lake City, UT

- Innovation
- Process Instruments Inc. has developed a full-spectrum Raman scattering
-   instrument, incorporating a multipass external cavity enhancement cell  for
-   gas phase analysis of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide.

- Accomplishments
-  Spectrograph Design: The Raman Specrograph design has  reduced both
-   size and  weight of our Raman Spectrograph. In addition,  to improving  the
-   signal collection by redesigning the optics  placement. This improved design
-   allows  for increased  signal collection, and  improved signal  resolution
-   while  maintaining a smaller foot print.
-  Laser Lifetime and Improved Stability: Process Instruments Inc. has been able
-   to improve the stability of our frequency-stabilized lasers by  using a low AR
-   (anti-reflective)  coating on the front facet. This coating also allows for
-   improved frequency tuning.  Found a laser diode vendor that can supply Al-
-   free laser diodes. Process Instruments in house life testing to date indicates that
-   we can  now  warrant our lasers  for at least one year. This is 4 times longer
-   than any other similar laser  manufacturers.

- Commercialization
- There has been considerable commercial interest from private companies to assist in Process Instruments Inc. Raman development. An arrangement has been structured to sell a basic instrument prototype in exchange for a company’s financing of our materials and development costs. Process Instruments Inc. acquired $468,000 in funds for basic diode-laser Raman instrumentation development.

- Government/Science Applications
- A  dual  wavelength diode laser has been developed for use with one of
-   upcoming MARS  exploratory missions.The dual  wavelength laser will allow
-   a single spectrograph to measure the complete Raman spectra from ~300 cm-1
-   to ~4,000 cm-1. A NIR 785 nm laser  is used for Raman scattering in  the  region
-   of 300 to 2000 cm-1. Exciting with  this wavelength  reduces  fluorescence
-   problems. Exciting with a visible (670  nm) wavelength laser  for  the region of
-   2000 to 4000 cm-1 takes advantage of improved quantum efficiency.

## SynchronizationOperator ModuleUser Interface

**Start Time Offset Example:**
- Two time series begin at time zero.  One starts in 1950, and the other starts in 1960.
- • 1950 Start Time Offset = 0
- • 1960 Start Time Offset = 10

## Source Model Output

- Same
-  • # of Time steps (=100)
-  • Ending times (=50 yr)
-  • Time-step durations (=0.5 yr)
-  for three constituents

**Source Model Output**
**After the**
**Synchronization**
**Operator**

## EXAMPLE:RT3D and MT3DMSInput Synchronization

- A Synchronization Operator Module is require to synchronize different time-varying input to RT3D and MT3DMS.
- When time-varying input are not synchronized, RT3D and MT3DMS require upstream input synchronization of
- Time-step duration and number (stress periods)
- Total simulation duration
- All constituents
- All locations

## Wayfarer Demo

- Tom Carlson
- National Center for State Courts

## The Problem

- The GJXDM contains loads of inheritance
- Mark Kindl is really, really smart and can remember them
- I’m not that smart
- So I wrote a tool to remember them for me

## Searching the Model

- Can search on names
- Can search on definitions
- Can search on entries in code lists
- Can search contextual definitions

## Info About Elements

- Wayfarer provides detailed information about GJXDM elements:
- Name, type, definition, and namespace
- Properties an element can contain
- Vice versa
- All inherited properties! All of them!
- Vice versa

## Info About Types

- Wayfarer provides equally detailed information about GJXDM types:
- Name, definition, and namespace
- Derivation path up to SuperType
- Types derived from that type
- Elements of that type
- Elements somehow derived from that type

## Other Features

- Full code lists
- FireFox Search Plug-in
- Can show both alpha and schema ordering

## Vagabond

- Helps you create wantlists
- Import the wantlists into the SSGT
- By no means a replacement for the SSGT
- Just makes wantlists
- No import
- No subset schemas
- Just let's you stay in Wayfarer-World longer

## Future Plans

- NIEM version of Wayfarer and Vagabond
- Possibly NIEM 1.0
- More likely NIEM 1.1
- Graphical interface
- Different than the spiky ball
- More UML-ish
- Multiple levels of detail
- When?
- Beats me! Sometime in 2007, most likely

## Random Tracks vs W electrons DATA

- Data performance very good, 0.1% dead channels.  Should lead to simple geometry in simulation.

## Simulation overview

- Jun Suh is the main developer.
- Simulation of old detector was only used for 1 plot!           (slight exaggeration)

- How often does at least one of the two photons from a ° give a 1 MIP hit?

- Analyses with electrons used data for all studies.   Conversions, Kshort...

## Simulation is convolution of MIP histogram with Nmips from Geant.

## This simple prescription worked well with old detector and test beam data.

## Simulation overview

- These curves depend on geometry and decay kinematics, not much more.  Geometry looks good in new simulation.

- Not very sensitive to precise pulse height,  with a 0.5 – 1 MIP cut.

- Simulated CPR2 Pulse Heights for 40 GeV Photons.

## But how does it look for CPR2 so far?? 

- Need a full W simulation with cuts applied,  not single particles shot at one location and Pt.   Also need input muon pulse height distribution instead of pions...

## Simulation review

- CPR2 geometry is in and checked
- Run number switch works,  >190000 gets new detector
- Approximate CPR2 MIP pulse height distribution installed using pions,  hopefully input muons within 2 weeks.
- At this point simulation should be as good as old detector.
- Longer term,  significant interest in ANL and Korean groups to redo charged pion simulations to get CEM/CES/CPR correlations.   This will help detailed electron/tau/jet studies.

## Muon Trigger Rates
Single Muons: For L=5e30 the L1 Rate: mu1cmsc_fz ~ 70 hz.  Forward was about the same. Trigger was prescaled by >20 X.
Dimuon Trigger was unprescaled
Acceptance & Efficiency
Muon ID requires A-layer.
Central A-layer was hot and/or couldn’t be read-out (SRQ timeouts).
The combination nearly eliminated nseg=+-3 muons
Lum ~ 1 or 2 pb-1. 
N(Z)=L* *A*< 20 events.
N(W) ~ same as Z’s, coming in mainly on mu-jet triggers.

**W/Z to Muons (Preshutdown)**

## W/Z-> muons are rare. We don’t have events to spare.
 Instead of spending time looking for a few events we are working, instead on fundamentals of ID
We plan to continue our work along those lines
See a different talk about our post-shutdown plans for winter conference analysis.

**2D and 3D Reconstruction of the **
**28 October CME**

**The SMEI 3D reconstruction of the 28 October 2003 CME is shown in two different PowerPoint slide animations.   In the first, the SMEI enhanced 2D image and image sequence is shown as the brightness of the sky would look from Earth.  The SMEI image to the right is plotted from 18o to 110o degrees elongation and shown to scale with the LASCO image of the same event at an earlier time (LASCO image enlarged to the left).  The SMEI still image shows the CME after its Earthward-directed portion has engulfed Earth.  The SMEI image also shows the remnant of the large arch-shaped structure observed in LASCO that travels to the south and includes an H****α**** prominence.  Better views of this are available in the animation where SMEI not only shows the onset of the halo CME, but also the outward progression, expansion and breakup until it eventually fades in the distant heliosphere of the large southward-moving arch-shaped structure.  In these 2D images a R****-2**** density brightness gradient have been removed from the data in order to better show the outward progression of the event.**
**Approximately the same time sequence is viewed in 3D in the video on the second slide from the same reconstruction.  In this animation the 28 October 2003 CME as viewed from 3AU 30o above the ecliptic plane and ~45o west of the Sun-Earth line.  The location of the Earth is indicated by a blue circle with the Earth’s orbit viewed in perspective drawn as an ellipse.  The Sun is indicated by a red dot. Densities are shown and contoured between 10 – 30e****-****cm****-3**** and have an r****-2**** density gradient removed from them. The fast-moving structure to the solar northeast as observed from Earth is the dominant object here.  The ejecta associated with the solar prominence are observed to the south of the Sun in these views.  The total mass determined for these structures inside the boundary defined by the 10e****-****cm****-3**** contour level is  8 × 10****16****g and 9 × 10****16**** g respectively for the Earth-directed density and the prominence-associated ejecta. **

## LOCATING PARENTS THROUGH CELLULAR TELEPHONE RECORDS

**16****th**** National CSE**
**Training Conference**
**Arlington, VA**
**   ****September 11-13, 2006**

## BACKGROUND

- Coordinated Project between the Office of the Attorney General and Virginia DCSE
- Authority under Federal Law 42 USC 666(c)(1)(D)
- Authority under State Law 63.2-1902 and
- 	63.2-1903

## EARLY ATTEMPTS AT DATA MATCHES

- Verbal and Written Communications with Cellular Telephone Companies
- FCC Communications
- All companies expressed concerns over customer privacy and lack of automation

## ADMINISTRATIVE SUBPOENA DEVELOPMENT

- Issued to track down some of the hardest to locate parents, after all other locate efforts exhausted
- Initially issued to seven of the largest cell phone companies in Virginia:  Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, Cingular, Alltel, Ntelos and Nextel
- Registered Agents/Service of Process

## PROGRESS TO DATE

- 4,330 subpoenas have been issued on 690 parents
- 40-50% Hit Rate
- Multiple companies often have information
- 	on a parent

## Data Matches

- Voluntary matches are underway with Verizon and Cingular
- No state legislation required
- Additional companies to follow shortly
- Matches are mutually beneficial, providing a much more efficient and less time-consuming process than preparing and answering individual subpoenas

## Future Ideas

- Cellular Telephone Locate Services
- Cable Television Companies
- Grocery Store Valued Customer Cards
- The Possibilities are Endless!
