High concentrations of underserved populations with low social capital in urban areas, along with assets and ecosystems in vulnerable zones, present high risks of cascading failures and expected loss of lives and property. A key gap is the lack of urban models that can help to address and visualize threats, especially under a changing climate and with growing urbanization and “coastalization” ...

C55-22a-270353The DOE Office of Nuclear Physics (NP) seeks new developments in detector electronics with significantly improved energy, position, timing resolution, sensitivity, rate capability, stability, dynamic range, and background suppression. Applications are sought to develop high channel density (>=256 channels/board) digital data acquisition system with >= 100 MSPS, >=12 bit ADC informati ...

C55-18a-270355Synchrotron light sources have continuously and impressively grown in brightness and beam quality since their inception in 1947 at General Electric in upstate New York [1]. Indeed, we are at the point where X-ray synchrotron light sources have been optimized to the Diffraction Limit and Free Electron Lasers (FEL) have been fully developed. Nonetheless, ongoing manufacturing and metro ...

An effective high power positron converter for electron Linacs is not currently available from industry. A commercial source allows the nation's research institutes to have ready access to high brightness positrons for a wealth of material science, nuclear, particle, and accelerator physics projects. Improving the efficiency of the converter target will allow these projects to proceed without in-h ...

C53-06a-271155Harnessing the quantum state of nature holds tremendous potential for creating new quantum technologies that surpass the capabilities of current systems. To create these new technologies, precise control over the quantum state must be maintained while simultaneously suppressing noise processes that would otherwise lead to decoherence and inaccurate results. This project will address ...

C53-01a-271272The problem to be addressed arises from the recent and rapid growth of large three- dimensional (3D) and time-varying datasets produced from sensor/observation systems, numerical simulation, and AI models and the current difficulties incorporating these data into research workflows in many data science communities. To address this problem, Pan3D will fill critical needs for (i) data ...

C53-07a-271318The advancement of grazing incidence X-ray optic technologies brings promise of new discoveries and novel applications for synchrotron applications, space exploration, and more. However, these goals are limited by the current state of the art of domestic manufacture and metrology of diffraction-limited x-ray mirrors, specifically those for synchrotron applications. This proposal outl ...
