Abstract

Multipactor is an incessant problem that plagues numerous commercial and military systems, including satellites and particle accelerator components such as klystrons and free electron lasers (FELs). Metallic surfaces within High Power Microwave (HPM) devices are susceptible multipactor due to the high Secondary Electron Emission Coefficient (SEEC) of internal surfaces. Current solutions, including ...

Efficient, cost effective methods for converting relatively inexpensive natural gas, available through existing pipelines, to Hydrogen rich syngas are needed. The reformed gas can then be converted into higher value products or cleaned and used with in fuel cell and other applications. The proposed plasma fuel reformer is a non-catalytic approach that avoids expensive catalysts that are susceptibl ...

This project team will develop and test a prototype of SuperChem VR, a game to support high school students' basic chemistry learning. The prototype will include a set of web-based laboratory modules which will be integrated within a virtual reality headset to allow for a 360-degree visual exploration of the environment. The prototype will also include teacher resources for classroom implementatio ...

Advances in small satellite and sensor technology are revolutionizing the Earth observation industry, but the development of new raster processing tools to harness this growing stream of nearly real-time data has not kept pace. Storing and processing such data is currently cumbersome or even impossible for many individuals and organizations that could otherwise benefit from its use. The proposed ...

Emerging applications and instrumental systems produce massive streaming data every day. It is essential that the big streaming data to be quickly and accurately processed and analyzed to extract useful information for timely decision making. Despite substantial work has been proposed for streaming data processing and analysis, e.g., SAMOA, Jubatus, etc., many shortcomings have not well addressed. ...

Next generation high-energy physics particle accelerators will require higher magnetic fields than current technology allows for, and Bismuth Strontium Calcium Copper Oxide (Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8, or Bi2212) superconductor is the leading candidate material to enable this advancement. In this effort, Bi2212 will be produced through a proprietary process that also successfully makes over 50 different oxide ...

The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Nuclear Physics builds and maintains germanium gamma-ray detector arrays at national laboratories and universities as user facilities. The scale, capability and cost of these detector arrays will greatly improve from the availability of larger single crystal and detector sizes. General statement of how this problem is being addressed Fundamental Czochralsk ...
