## Human Study Terms

- Human Studies
- Payment of Human Subjects
- Chemical Exposures Unknown
- Potentially High Exposures
- Low Income Subjects
- Potential Carcinogens
- Health Risks
- Confidentiality of Data

## Translation into Plain Terms

- Govt Experiments	-	Human Studies
- Illegal Bribes		-	Payment of Human 						Subjects
- Scary			-	Chemical Exposures 					Unknown
- Death			-	Potentially High 						Exposures
- Helpless Victims		-	Low Income Subjects
- Horrific Deaths		-	Potential Carcinogens
- Dangerous		-	Health Risks
- Cover-Up			-	Confidentiality of Data

## The “Story”

- There is an illegal top secret government experiment to kill innocent people.
- The government is covering up a mysterious and dangerous chemical that is causing cancer in people.

## Outside Inquiries

- Why are you killing innocent people?
- Do you find that poor people are easier to trick and lure?
- This has the smell of a poorly planned conspiracy.  We’re getting different stories everytime we speak to your office.  What else are you covering up?
- Why should we believe anything you say?
- You must be in the pocket of big business.
- Either you’re lying or misleading people?

## Some Answers

- We have no intentions of killing innocent poor people.  You must be crazy!
- You can believe what you want but we have met all the regulations.
- All our studies have strong scientific justifications.  I don’t care what others have told you. We’ve gotten approvals from 3 IRB’s as required by our regulations.

## The New Story?

## The Problems

- Studies and Good Intentions Aren’t Always Viewed as Fact ... But Perceptions Are
- We Can Create Perceptions Which Can Send the Wrong Message About Our Studies

## Some Consequences

- (An organizational chart will be developed to illustrate how misperceptions can mobilize outside forces such as the media, advocacy groups and politicians to impact a study despite all the sound scientific and regulatory procedures that were followed.)

## Some Solutions To Consider

- In addition to the science and regulatory requirements, think strategically about the potential perceptions and how they can influence outside parties.
- We work strategically with Management and Public Affairs to insure that a study is recognized as a solution to a problem.

## Some Strategic Steps to Consider

- Get the word out about the problem and how the proposed study is trying to help
- Be open to outside concerns and address them before advancing the study
- Insure that people inside the Agency know the facts and where they can get them
- Appoint a point of contact to insure consistency

## Figure 1: Booster Cooldown (All Points)

- Data based on January 2003 shutdown
- Readings normalized to ~1 day (26 hours)

## Figure2: Booster Cooldown in Work Areas (L3, L6 and L7)

- Long 3 and Bex2 are near where the dogleg work will be done.
- Long 6 and Long 7 are where the collimators will go.  *Note! Cu collimators were in place when data were taken.  May have affected curve *

- Cu collimators removed

## Figure 3: Booster Loss Load

- Typical Week’s Protons:
-     - MiniBooNE: 4.5E18 p (87%)
-     - Stacking: .7E18 p (13%)
- Energy Loss:
-     - MiniBooNE: 37 J/E12
-     - Stacking: 50 J/E12
- -> Power Load:
-     - MiniBooNE: 166 MJ (83%)
-     - Stacking: 35 MJ (17%)

## Shutting MiniBooNE off a week early?

- Long 3 work:
- Difference between 4 and 5 weeks -> negligible
- MI-8 work, based on “typical” (Figure 1)
- Difference between 2 weeks and 3 weeks -> ~negligible
- Collimator work based on January (Cu collimators in place) (Figure 2):
- 4 days (.80) -> 11 days (.42): 47% reduction
- Pro-rate by BooNE loss load (Figure 3):
- Continue to stack at full intensity: (.83*47=) 39% reduction
- Reduce stacking intensity: (.87*47=) 41% reduction
- Collimator work based on “typical” (Figure 2):
- 4 days (.80) -> 11 days (.60): 25% reduction:
- Pro-rate:
- Continue stacking at full intensity: (.83*25=) 21% reduction
- Reduce stacking intensity: (.87*25 = ) 22% reduction

NOTES:
FY 2006
We got the Presidents Request
Conference Direction:
GTL - Conference Report states: “The conferees support the development of the proposed Genomes to Life (GTL) facilities, and encourage the Department to budget for the first of these GTL facilities, for the production and characterization of proteins and molecular tags, in fiscal year 2007. The conferees encourage the Department to reduce the cost of the GTL facilities to accelerate deployment of all four proposed GTL centers. Due to the nature of this research, there is a need for all of the facilities to be deployed to meet the scientific challenge of molecular characterization. The conferees recommend that the Department conduct an open competition for the siting of these GTL facilities.” 

EMSL - $3.5 million in Congressional direction for additional equipment upgrades for the Environmental and Molecular Sciences Laboratory at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is “Within available funds,...”.

What’s Out
- All the molecular nuclear medicine and radiopharmaceutical research programs at the universities and national labs will be eliminated (with the exception of BNL).
- Elimination of all surficial science including radioecology and surficial fate and transport research in Environmental Remediation will lead to a nearly complete loss of funding for the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory.  This reduction has already resulted in numerous layoffs of SREL scientific staff.

## Orbital physics study on superconducting mechanism of K3C60

-    Dan Liu
- Jackson State University, Jackson, MS

## Motivations

- The fcc K3C60 is a s-wave BCS-like superconductor.
- Two central issues necessarily should be addressed.
- Why is the three-dimensional fcc K3C60 a superconductor?
-        an underlying mechanism exists.
-        an exceptional to the low-dimensional rule.
- The second high superconduction temperature of 33 K is in conflict with the BCS-like mechanism.

## We discovered

- Superconducting mechanism of the triplet K3C60 is composed of
-       ---intramolecular resonance- structure
-       ---intermolecular noninteracting-electron
-           tunneling
-   Using frontier orbital band approach in explanation how this combined mechanism happens.

## Structure 

-          K3C60  an ionic crystal structure;
-           C603-  a triradical anion
-                     3K + C60→ K3+C603-

- Frontier orbital band approach

- fcc K3C60

-  bct K4C60

- fcc K3C60
- Linear structure at the orbital and spin levels.

## Intermolecular resonance-structure superconducting mechanism

- Intramolecular electron scattering involves electron delocalization among the orbital belt or HOMOs.
- With respect to delocalization, the electron-phonon interaction can be referred as the resonance structure.
- In other words, due to the zero-point energy vibration, the intermolecular electron transport is superconducting even at 0 K.
- Therefore, we refer to it as the resonance-structure mechanism.

## Intermolecular noninteracting-electron tunneling mechanism

- In the fcc ionic crystal, the triplet state of C603- is dynamically and thermally prohibited to undergo the Jahn-Teller effect.
- While temperature decrease, rather than the competitive JT effect, the triplet state remains until the scattering electron tunneling occurs.
- The non-interaction tunneling mechanism.

## Evaluation

- Our picture of the combined superconducting mechanism can comprehensively address not only the experimental and theoretic results, but also their contradiction.
- The rotation temperature is the superconducting temperature, much higher than that of conventional BCS. The akali-C603- systems have the second high superconducting temperature.
- The akali-C603- systems have a compelling prospect in the sense of the orbital and spin levels.

## Identification and Use of Surface Type to Estimate Spectral Albedo Using ARM MFR DataKrista L. Gaustad, Sally A. McFarlane, Charles N. Long, and Tim Shippert, Pacific Northwest National LaboratoryEli Mlawer, Atmospheric & Environmental Research, Inc.

**ARM Science Team Meeting**

- 11 March 2008

**Summary**
**Using the MFR spectral albedo values, surface conditions near the 10m and 25m towers can be characterized as one of the following:  snow, bare soil, fully vegetated, or partially vegetated.**
**Predictions of the existence and extent of vegetation are made using the NDVI of the 870nm (filter5) and 673nm (filter4) albedos.**
**Estimations of high resolution spectral albedos made using surface type and MFR spectral albedo values were relatively successful for bare soil and fully vegetated cases.  **
**Improvements are needed in the estimation of surfaces characterized by snow and partially vegetated surface types.**

## RHIC Spin Tune Measurement & Polarization Reversal

- RHIC Spin Collaboration Meeting, Nov. 18, 2003
- Mei Bai, BNL, Upton, NY 11973

##  Spin tune measurement

-  In resonance rotating frame, the vertical and horizontal projections of the
-   polarization are given by
-  Method 1: map Py as a function of the spin flipper frequency
-                     spin precession frequency =
-                                 spin flipper frequency at which Py vanishes
- This requires no new development
- However, this is rather time consuming and is not practical for beam at store

##  Spin tune measurement

-  Method 2: measure the amplitude of the coherent precession of the horizontal
-                     component. The spin tune is then given by
- This requires a modification of the existing polarimeter so that one can measure the turn by turn horizontal component. In principle, this is achivable using CNI as well as STAR polarimeter, according to Gerry and Les.
- However, the accuracy of this measurement highly depends on how close the driving frequency is to the intrinsic spin precession frequency. To achive an accuracy of 0.001, a ~ 1.0% error bar on Px is required assuming the total polarization is about 50% and delta is about 0.01.
- According to Gerry and HH,  a 200 sec will yield a 2% Px measurement provided the total polarization is 50%.
-  Method 3: measure Py while sweeping the spin flipper frequency.

##  Polarization reversal

-  F-S formula
-  Assume total n times spin flipping are performed, let  be the effciency of each
-   spin flipping. The polarization at the end of the nth spin flipping
-   is then Pf=Pin. To achieve Pf> 0.90
-  Say n=20, , with ε.  = 4.6x10-4, one needs to sweep the spin flipper tune in
-   0.02 in 57379 revolution turns.

##  Polarization reversal commissioning

-  ***Three sets of measurements:***
-    a) measure the spin flipping efficiency vs. flipper strength. The flipper
-        frequency sweep range as well as the spin tune remain constant.
-    b) measure the spin flipping efficiency vs. flipper frequency sweep range
-        with fixed flipper strength as well as the spin tune.
-    c) repeat b) with different spin tune.
-    with the current snake power supplies, we are able to move the spin tune
-    to 0.45 the outer current of one snake should be 94Amps and the inner
-    current should be 294.54Amps. The nominal current setting for the snake
-    is (inner,outer)=(326.23,100). It takes about  2 minutes to ramp the snake
-    current from 326.23 to 294.54.

- diverge.

- Can AMSU Level 1b data  and the combination of AIRS
- and AMSU level 1b data be used for climate  studies at the 0.1K level?

## Infrastructure Equipment 

- December 19, 2000

## Background

- To complete the work for the ATLAS detector, some additional equipment items are needed.
- In addition, there is heavy pressure from the ATLAS management for LBNL engineering to take on more responsibilities, tied to interests of Physics Division. Why? LBNL has talent. World-wide shortage of good engineering within even enormous ATLAS collaboration.
- US ATLAS funding is capped.
- Conflict between buying equipment and salaries.
- Solution: increase LBNL infrastructure => specific equipment items, which will become of general use to future projects.
- In short, we are here to beg for money.

## Specific Items(1)

- Automated probe station for production 8” integrated circuit wafer probing: $75K
- Most future experiments will use 8” wafer technology
- One such probe station at LBNL(Los Alamos project)
- Extrapolating from previous(6”) experience...multiple 8” probe stations will be needed.
- Plasma etcher for oxygen or argon plasma cleaning: $20K(used)
- Currently use system on campus. Not good enough for production items.
- Of general use for projects that require wire bonding(clean surfaces)
- Precision impedance analyzer: $35K
- Basic capability that does not exist for characterizing passive components(capacitors, etc) and for custom cables(eg. low mass flex cables made at LBNL)

## Specific Items(2)

- IR camera for thermography: $70K
- Used for thermal quality control of thermomechanical structures.
- More generally can be coupled with recently installed TV holography system in CMM area to have combined thermal imaging and “distortion” imaging.
- Also can be used to look for “hot spots” in electronics boards and related.
- Capability exists at lab but largely tied up in environmental studies.
- Thermal chamber for TV holography and IR thermography, if acquired: $30K?
- Viewing mechanical distortions under temperature change requires thermal chamber for good control.
- Increased infrastructure for composites manufacture: $185?
- Some funding for this ($95K) for this year
- But missing autoclave for big items.

## How Well Are Costs Known?

- 8” probe station: multiple demos, have quotes
- Plasma cleaner: examples(very similar to one on campus) in used equipment catalogs.
- Impedance analyzer: catalog item, verbal quote
- IR camera: demo of models from two companies, have quotes
- Thermal chamber: ??
- Increased infrastructure for composites manufacture: have numerous quotes for autoclaves
- THE TOTAL COST OF ALL ITEMS IS $??K.
