In this paper, we present a new machine learning (ML) workflow with unsupervised learning techniques to identify domains within atomic force microscopy (AFM) images obtained from polymer films.
The FESAC long range plan calls out disruption avoidance and mitigation as key remaining technical gaps. In discussing the roles of DIII-D and NSTX-U, the FESAC long range plan says “Additional research on these facilities, in combination with private and international collaborations, continuing support of existing university tokamak programs, and utilization of US expertise in theory and simulation, is needed to find solutions to remaining technical gaps. These gaps include disruption prediction, avoidance, and mitigation …”. Disruptions pose an existential threat to ITER and to FPPs. For a fusion reactor, unplanned shutdowns caused by disruptions will be a significant barrier to connecting such a reactor to the electric grid, even if disruption mitigation is successful. Disruption studies for ITER in recent years have largely focused on disruption mitigation (e.g., pellet injection), motivated by near-term deadlines for finalizing the design of the mitigation hardware. It is recognized, however, that mitigation alone will not suffice. The 2022 U.S. ITER Research Needs Workshop Report states that ”[d]isruptions are considered the largest threat to the ITER Research Program”, and that “[m]itigation should be a last resort”. As we discuss below, there are unresolved foundational issues that play a critical role in avoidance, and DIII-D is an ideal device for generating the data needed to address these issues.
We propose to recruit a cohort of undergraduates from Minority Serving Institutions(MSIs) to participate in nuclear physics (NP) research in Eastern Tennessee (ET) as part of the new NPET Fellowship Program. The program balances mentorship from leaders in their fields with professional development and networking workshops throughout the year. Through the activities of the program, the University of Tennessee Knoxville (UTK) Physics and Astronomy Department and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) will partner to develop the physics identity and feelings of belonging and will improve the retention of under-represented minority (URM) students in the field.
