The Ionization Profile Monitors in the Recycler Ring
The ionization profile monitors (IPMs) are used to measure the beam size in synchrotrons. Both the Fermilab Recycler and Main Injector (MI) machines have IPMs. However, they were not well understood enough to provide confidence in their measurements. Accurately measuring beam size through the IPMs was crucial to recognize the loss mechanisms for accelerators and to keep the beam loss to a minimum. Thus, performing measurements with different parameters using the IPMs led to a better analysis on how changes in conditions affect the beam size. The IPM measurements are compared with that of multi-wires in the upstream transfer line after applying corrections. The results were compared with other diagnostics and the change in the beam size for different parameters are presented in this paper.

Data and analysis procedures for improved aerial applications mission performance
An analysis procedure is given and cases analyzed for the effects of wing geometry on lateral transport of a variety of agricultural particles released in the wake of an agricultural airplane. The cases analyzed simulate the release of particles from a fuselage centerline-mounted dry material spreader; however, the procedure applies to particles released anywhere along the wing span. Consideration is given to the effects of taper ratio, aspect ratio, wing loading, and deflected flaps. It is noted that significant lateral transport of large particles can be achieved using high-lift devices positioned to create a strong vortex near the location of particle release.
