## Status of HepMC and HepPDT

- Lynn Garren
- April 18, 2006

- Lynn Garren

## Introduction

- HepPDT - Particle Data Table Attributes
- HepMC - Monte Carlo event information
- Part of CLHEP since 2001
- BUT parallel HepMC was maintained by Matt Dobbs

- Lynn Garren

## Changes 

- Discussions at CERN:
- Move away from CLHEP
- Agreement to have LCG HepMC
- The Matt Dobbs original version
- CMS making the biggest concessions
- Further discussions
- Both HepPDT and HepMC become standalone LCG products

- Lynn Garren

## Where we stand now

- HepMC 1.26.01 about to be released
- Bug fix
- HeavyIon class in 1.27.01 beta release
- Validation needed
- CMS has requested Mathcore GenVector instead of CLHEP Vector

- Lynn Garren

## Issues

- C++ Monte Carlo generators (Herwig++, Pythia8) are using CLHEP
- Reluctance on part of everyone except CMS to actually move away from CLHEP
- CMS is requesting that LCG live up to its end of the agreement and allow changes

- Lynn Garren

## TFM: Reroute Data Exchange

**Product Fact Sheet – Reroute Data Exchange**

- Traffic Flow Management (TFM), through its Collaborative Decision Making (CDM) programs, facilitates development of aircraft reroutes when necessary because of predicted airspace congestion due to severe weather, facility outages, special events, or emergencies in the NAS.  The new Reroute Data Exchange service will provide the means for Traffic Managers to efficiently convey reroutes to Air Traffic Controllers for pre-departure flights taking into account NAS Customer preferences, as applicable.    This will be achieved via exchange of pre-departure rerouting information between TFM and En Route domains, once a flight plan has been filed with the En Route domain.

- These flight plan amendments will be transmitted from TFMS to the En Route automation.  The subsequent flight plan update will be shared system-wide by an En Route flight update service, also being developed in SWIM Segment 1.

## Motorcoach Tires – Tread Depth

## Motorcoach Tires – Tread Depth

- Low Tread Depth
- Decreases ability for tires to channel water
- Limits the ability of tire to maintain contact with the roadway
- Effect on friction and handling
- Tire testing
- All drive axle tires (2/32, 3/32, 5/32, 6/32)
- Right steer axle tire (15/32)
- Testing and simulation

## Tire Friction

- Testing at 60 mph, all tested water depths
- Steer axle tire friction = 0.28 to 0.30
- Right drive axle tire friction = 0.12 to 0.16
- Left drive axle tire friction = 0.10 to 0.15
- Speed, water depth, and tread depth affect friction
**Drive axle tire friction equivalent to ice (0.12 to 0.25)**

## Effect on Motorcoach Handling

- Lower friction available for rear tires
- Passenger car testing
- Friction reduced when tires worn
- Handling changes when worn tires are in rear
- Differing friction on front and rear tires creates instability
- Results in rotation and loss of control
- Differing friction on left and right tires increases instability

- Drive axle brakes locked sooner than other axles due to friction available
- Earlier lock up of drive axle contributes to loss of control
- If drive axle had same tread depth as steer axle, it would not have locked up
- Driver would likely have been able to maintain control

## Status Reports:Messenger and Dawn

- S. Joy

## MESSENGER

- It has been previously reported that the MESSENGER project did not plan on archiving any data EXCEPT for EDRs until 1 year after the end of the prime mission.
- Objections to this plan were raised by the PDS (lead by GEO and PPI) but the project argued that they had a signed DMP that contained this schedule.

## MESSENGER

- Bill and Ed raised a stink about this at HQ. They were able to gather enough support (M. Lindstrom, others?) and documentation to make the MESSENGER project change it’s archive plan.
- MESSENGER will now archive calibrated data 6 months after the last Mercury flyby, and every 6 months during the mapping mission.

## MESSENGER

- Thus far, all of the EDR SISs have been written, reviewed, and signed.
- RDR SIS’s are under development
- Some instrument teams will provide two SIS’s (RDR and map products) and are only currently working on the RDR SIS.
- Others will provide a single SIS for calibrated data products.

## MESSENGER

- Late breaking news from M. Lindstrom...

## Dawn

- The news from Dawn is generally good...
- Dawn completed TVAC with only a few bumps and bruises.
- Broken components have been replaced and have completed unit TVAC tests.
- Last week, Dawn passed it’s pre-ship review.  Dawn will be shipped to the Cape in about 2 weeks.
- Shipping is delayed until after vibe testing the reassembled s/c at NRL.
- The mission is still on schedule for a June 20th launch.
- The Operational Readiness Review (ORR) is scheduled for May 8.

## Dawn

- M. Sykes and S. Joy recently formed a Dawn Data Archive Working Group (DDAWG) with support from the PDS-SBN.
- Draft EDR/RDR SISs under development and will be delivered before the ORR in May.
- The DAWG is working to develop guidelines for archive product pipeline development, review, and rules.

## SIM Configurationand How SIM Works

## What Does SIM Do?

- SIM uses interferometers in space to measure angles between celestial objects incredibly accurately in order to deduce all kinds of new scientific conclusions.
- SIM does astrometry
- Astronomy = “star naming”
- Astrometry = “star measuring”

- SIM does astrometry

## An Important Example of Using Astrometry

- Deduce planets orbiting nearby stars
- Motion of our sun (1990-2020) due to all planets in our solar system as viewed from 10 parsec (a little more than 30 light years) away

- Scales are ±0.001 arc sec=  ± 1 milli arc second=  ± 1000 micro arc sec~ ± 5 nano-radian

- Motion of star’s optical center is a few thousand micro arc seconds (μas)

- SIM could measure this motion with an accuracy of about 1 μas (~5 pico-radian) (quite a bit thinner than the line plotted here)

## What is a Michelson Interferometer?

- Light from two collectors (telescopes) is combined optically onto a single detector.
- When the two beams have traveled the same distance from the star to the detector, then the two beams interfere constructively.
- Pathlength is adjusted to find this maximum brightness condition.
- With this knowledge and precise measurements of SIM internal geometry, the angle to the target can be calculated.
- It gives only one component of angle precisely
- Two measurements are required with baseline rotated ~90° about line to star

## A Michelson Astrometric Interferometer

- ABC

## Siderostat Assembly (an old view)

- A “**Siderostat**” is a flat steering mirror that keeps the line of sight of telescope _**STAT**_ionary in _**SID**_ereal space.  As the platform moves around, the Sid compensates.  It also allows the line of sight to be aimed over a region of sky without moving the platform or the telescope.

- Telescope line of sight  is rotated about two orthogonal axes centered on the front face of the Sid by a gimbals assembly.
- A corner cube retroreflector will also be mounted with its vertex here (see slide later on)

## TRMM AND GROUND BASED MULTI-PLATFORM STUDIES OF PRECIPITATION IN THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S.

**1****ESSC/NSSTC University of Alabama Huntsville, 320 Sparkman Drive, Huntsville AL. 35805**
**2****USRA, 320 Sparkman Dr., Huntsville AL. 35805**

_**SUMMARY:**_
**TRMM TMI, PR and blended algorithm products exhibit systematic differences over land in the SE U.S. as a function of season (winter to summer).**
**3A25 (radar) products are better correlated to multi-satellite algorithm products such as 3B43 (considerably less seasonal bias and random error).**
**Behavior in level 2 TMI and PR products translates to level 3.  Detailed ground-based studies over N. Alabama are being conducted to elucidate primary physical issues in the algorithms.    **
**Improvements in passive microwave algorithm estimates to account for seasonal and regime variability will have to be undertaken regionally and extended globally to meet GPM measurement requirements.  This problem will be especially acute over land.**

_**DOING  “GROUND WORK”**_

**Seasonal:****  ****Large scatter and a**** ****significant seasonal bias f(rain rate)!**

**3B43 and 3A25:  Less bias, lower scatter relative to 3A12-3B43 **

**Further examination of regime variability in ice-liquid water fractional contributions to precipitation**
**Ice, rainwater, and lightning:  Clear transition in the ice-rain water fraction between winter (red circle) and summer over Alabama.**
**What pieces of seasonal regime variability impact physics of TMI 2A12 and PR 2A25 retrievals the most?**

**Ice contributions to rainfall:  Ratio [ice/ (ice + rain)] vs. Lightning over N. Alabama and Great Plains**

_**PRECIPITATION PROCESS**_

**Contribution of mixed-phase and ice processes  to rainwater and DSD? (production of large drop DSD tail)   **

**How does summer sub-tropical convective precipitation process differ from that of winter (especially with regard to the ice process)?**

**High resolution ARMOR dual-pol RHI data collected on 29 July 2007**

**Note:**
**Lack of strong mixed phase condition aloft  in convective cell (ZDR low, RHOHV high).**
**Transition in ZDR and RHOHV close to the surface in convection (larger drops and wet/melting  ice transition followed by break up, evaporation and smaller rain drops),**
**Process and DSD structure of these and other events are being used with TRMM overpasses to isolate PR and TMI algorithm issues related to the observed seasonal biases.**
