Emerging hardware architectures offer attractive performance opportunities for those software applications that are able to exploit them. However, many scientific codes written over the last decade require an intensive porting effort in order to take advantage of new hardware architectures. Component-based software architectures can ameliorate this effort by making it possible to develop interop ...

70454 Intense beams of epithermal neutrons, at sites close to major medical centers, are needed to advance the development of the boron neutron capture modality of cancer therapy. Particle accelerators are the top candidates to meet this need. This project will develop a new rf-focused drift tube linear accelerator structure as an economical source for these neutron beams. The source ...

At the present time, no federated search engine exists that is capable of searching, aggregating, and ranking more than a small fraction of the scientific content produced by the research community at large and by DOE researchers in particular. Although thousands of sources of valuable content exist, a solution has not been developed that ensures that scientific discoveries already made can be ea ...

65228 This project will develop a lightweight, battery-powered instrument for rapidly detecting the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. The instrument, which will be suitable for observatory, tall-tower, and aircraft measurements, will perform CO2 measurements with (1) ¿ 1 ppm resolution in a background of approximately 370 ppm, (2)

60781 The MAD (Modular Accelerator Design) code is the most widely used code worldwide for high-energy accelerator design but lacks a modern GUI (graphical user interface). MAD-9, the latest version, has powerful new features needed for the design of the Large Hadron Collider and the proposed muon collider/neutrino factory, but the differential algebra engine needs work. This project w ...

Avanced, integrated control systems will be essential to achieving the cost and performance targets of high-efficiency, low emissions fossil-fuel plants. Micro-electric-mechanical-systems (MEMS) and other types of micro-sensors will play an important role by providing critical real-time measurements that are needed to optimize these processes. Although micro-sensor technologies have been demonst ...

Shape analysis of pulses collected from arrays of fast particle detectors used in nuclear physics experiments requires data processing systems with fast (>500 Ms/s) sampling rates, in order to preserve the pulse shape information. Existing systems rely on multi-channel analog-to-digital converters with a single-in/single-out architecture, 8-12 bit accuracy, sampling rate below 250MS/s, low compon ...

65723 The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory is colliding heavy ions to create conditions like those a fraction of a second after the big bang. As part of a planned luminosity upgrade, an electron cooling section may be built with fundamentally different parameters from previous systems. High-performance, high-fidelity numerical simulations will be needed for t ...
