First full Dalitz plot measurement in neutron 𝛽 decay using the Nab spectrometer and implications for new physics

Precision measurements of observables in neutron 𝛽 decay are used to test the standard model description of the weak interaction and search for evidence of new physics. The Nab experiment at the Fundamental Neutron Physics Beamline at the Spallation Neutron Source was constructed to measure correlations in neutron decay by utilizing an asymmetric spectrometer and novel detection system to accurately reconstruct the proton momentum and electron energy for each 𝛽 decay. This work describes the detection of neutron 𝛽-decay products in the Nab spectrometer and presents the first full Dalitz plot representation of the phase space of neutron 𝛽 decay for all electrons >100 keV. In addition, new constraints are placed on a possible excited neutron state, hypothesized to explain the disagreement between the appearance and disappearance neutron lifetime techniques.

Microstructural Coarsening Kinetics and Mechanical Property Changes in Long-Term Aged Sn–Pb–Sb Solder Joints

Tin-lead-antimony (50Sn–47Pb–3Sb wt.%) soldered assemblies were mechanically tested approximately 30 years after initial production and found to have solder joints of reduced strength. The microstructure of this solder alloy exhibits a ternary eutectic structure with Sn-rich, Pb-rich, and SnSb phases. Accelerated aging was performed to evaluate solder microstructural coarsening and associated strength of laboratory solder joints to correlate these properties to the “naturally aged” solder joints. Isothermal aging was conducted at room temperature, 55, 70, 100, and 135 °C and aging times that ranged from 0.1 to 365 days. The coarsening kinetics of the Pb-rich phase were determined through optical microscopy and image analysis methods established in previous studies on binary Sn–Pb solder. A kinetic equation was developed with time exponent n of 0.43 and activation energy of 24000 J/mol, suggesting grain boundary diffusion or other fast diffusion pathways controlling the microstructural evolution. Compression testing and Vickers microhardness showed significant strength loss within the first 20–30 days after soldering; then, the microstructure and mechanical properties changed more slowly over long periods of time. Further, by combining accelerated aging data and the microstructure-based kinetics, strength predictions were made that match well with the properties of the actual soldered assemblies naturally aged for 30 years. However, aging at the highest temperature of 135 °C produced anomalous behavior suggesting that extraneous aging mechanisms are active. Therefore, data obtained at this temperature or higher should not be used. Overall, the combined microstructural and mechanical property methods used in this study confirmed that the observed reduction in strength of ~ 30-year-old solder joints can be accounted for by the microstructural coarsening that takes place during long-term solid-state aging.

Validation of the DESI DR2 measurements of baryon acoustic oscillations from galaxies and quasars

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Data Release 2 (DR2) galaxy and quasar clustering data represents a significant expansion of data from Data Release 1 (DR1), providing improved statistical precision in baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) constraints across multiple tracers, including bright galaxies, luminous red galaxies, emission line galaxies, and quasars. In this paper, we validate the BAO analysis of DR2. We present the results of robustness tests on the blinded DR2 data and, after unblinding, consistency checks on the unblinded DR2 data. All results are compared with those obtained from a suite of mock catalogs that replicate the selection and clustering properties of the DR2 sample. We confirm the consistency of DR2 BAO measurements with DR1 while achieving a reduction in statistical uncertainties due to the increased survey volume and completeness. The combined BAO precision, including both statistical and systematic errors, improves from ∼0.52% in DR1 to 0.30% in DR2—a factor of 1.7 gain. We assess the impact of analysis choices, including different data vectors (correlation function vs power spectrum), modeling approaches and systematics treatments, and an assumption of the Gaussian likelihood, finding that our BAO constraints are stable across these variations and assumptions with a few minor refinements to the baseline setup of the DR1 BAO analysis. We summarize a series of pre-unblinding tests that confirmed the readiness of our analysis pipeline, the final systematic errors, and the DR2 BAO analysis baseline. The successful completion of these tests led to the unblinding of the DR2 BAO measurements, ultimately leading to the DESI DR2 cosmological analysis, with their implications for the expansion history of the Universe and the nature of dark energy presented in the DESI key paper (companion paper).

Constraining Galaxy-Halo connection using machine learning

We investigate the potential of machine learning (ML) methods to model small-scale galaxy clustering for constraining Halo Occupation Distribution (HOD) parameters. Our analysis reveals that while many ML algorithms report good statistical fits, they often yield likelihood contours that are significantly biased in both mean values and variances relative to the true model parameters. This highlights the importance of careful data processing and algorithm selection in ML applications for galaxy clustering, as even seemingly robust methods can lead to biased results if not applied correctly. ML tools offer a promising approach to exploring the HOD parameter space with significantly reduced computational costs compared to traditional brute-force methods if their robustness is established. Using our ANN-based pipeline, we successfully recreate some standard results from recent literature. Properly restricting the HOD parameter space, transforming the training data, and carefully selecting ML algorithms are essential for achieving unbiased and robust predictions. Among the methods tested, artificial neural networks (ANNs) outperform random forests (RF) and ridge regression in predicting clustering statistics, when the HOD prior space is appropriately restricted. We demonstrate these findings using the projected two-point correlation function (w p (r p )), angular multipoles of the correlation function (ξ ℓ (r)), and the void probability function (VPF) of Luminous Red Galaxies from Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument mocks. Our results show that while combining w p (r p ) and VPF improves parameter constraints, adding the multipoles ξ 0 , ξ 2 , and ξ 4 to w p (r p ) does not significantly improve the constraints.

A high throughput assay to detect enzymatic polyethylene oxidation

Biological plastics deconstruction and upcycling have emerged as sustainable alternatives to traditional recycling technologies for plastics waste. The discovery and engineering of efficient thermostable poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) hydrolases have made biological PET recycling possible at scale; however, enzymes for non-PET plastics, which account for approximately 70% of all plastics produced, remain largely undiscovered. To accelerate the discovery of such enzymes, we develop a high-throughput screen to detect initial polymer oxidation, specifically that of the C-H bond to an aldehyde. We test 4-hydrazino-7-nitro-2,1,3-benxoxadiozole hydrazine (NBD-H), which reacts with generated aldehydes to form a fluorescent hydrazone on plasma oxidized low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films. Hydrazone generation correlated well with the area of aldehyde peaks as measured by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) (R2 = 0.92). Moreover, we demonstrate that the probe reliably identifies LDPE-active dye decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) that generate aldehydes on LDPE films (1.7 – 3.0 fold change relative to background), serving as an effective screen as demonstrated by receiver operating characteristic area under the curve of 0.95. Furthermore, this assay offers an LDPE oxidation screening platform that can be readily parallelized and automated for accelerated discovery of enzymes involved in polyolefin deconstruction.

Modelling the impact of host galaxy dust on type Ia supernova distance measurements

Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) are a critical tool in measuring the accelerating expansion of the universe. Recent efforts to improve these standard candles have focused on incorporating the effects of dust on distance measurements with SNe Ia. In this paper, we use the state-of-the-art Dark Energy Survey 5 year sample to evaluate two different families of dust models: empirical extinction models derived from SNe Ia data and physical attenuation models from the spectra of galaxies. In this work, we use realistic simulations of SNe Ia to forward-model different models of dust and compare summary statistics in order to test different assumptions and impacts on SNe Ia data. Among the SNe Ia-derived models, we find that a logistic function of the total-to-selective extinction R V best recreates the correlations between supernova distance measurements and host galaxy properties, though an additional 0.02 mag of grey scatter is needed to fully explain the scatter in SNIa brightness in all cases. These empirically derived extinction distributions are highly incompatible with the physical attenuation models from galactic spectral measurements. From these results, we conclude that SNe Ia must either preferentially select extreme ends of galactic dust distributions, or that the characterization of dust along the SNe Ia line-of-sight is incompatible with that of galactic dust distributions.

Preliminary modeling of triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structures using RELAP5-3D

With the United States Department of Energy (DOE)’s goal of quadrupling the nation’s nuclear energy supply by 2050, and with the Advanced Fuels Campaign pushing for new types of advanced reactor fuels and geometries, the need has arisen for new nuclear fuel designs. One such design is to swap out current nuclear fuel geometries in exchange for another type of geometry, called a Triply Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS). TPMSs are self-supporting, infinitely repeating lattices—attributes that lend themselves well to additive manufacturing. These surfaces also possess enhanced heat transfer properties thanks to their internal area changes and large surface-area-to-volume ratios. Their drawback, however, is an increased pressure drop. Given the small amount of correlations and data (Reynolds numbers in the 2,000–8,000 range), and the minimal amount of experience so far obtained by modeling TPMS structures using 1D systems codes such as the Reactor Excursion and Leak Analysis Program (RELAP5-3D), further research into this topic was needed. Using data from the University of Wisconsin - Madison (UW), curve fits were created for both a Heat Transfer Coefficient (HTC) correlation and a Darcy friction factor empirical coefficient correlation. The curves’ coefficients and multipliers were then output and utilized in RELAP5-3D models of two upcoming experiments—Flow Loop for INFLUX Pressure drop (FLIP) and Microreactor Agile Non-nuclear Experimental Test (MAGNET)—aimed at increasing the available data for Reynolds numbers to the 16,000–36,000 range for TPMS structures. The models were run under the conditions utilized by a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis performed by another group at Idaho National Laboratory. Only CFD pressure drop values were obtained from the FLIP test, and those values showed that the RELAP5-3D models had a lower rate of pressure increase in comparison to the CFD values. In addition, there seemed to be a vertical shift upward in the pressure drop for both models whenever the TPMS porosity decreased, and the RELAP5-3D models showed a higher vertical shift in comparison to the CFD values. The MAGNET results did not correspond to any CFD or experimental results against which they could be compared, so they were instead compared against the proposed CFD input conditions. These values were then compared with each other to make sure the model seemed to be performing as expected, paving the way for future tests that can be run for the purpose of further analyses and comparisons. The pressure drop increased with temperature and mass flow rate independently. The temperature change would decrease with increasing mass flow rate and temperature, which was just as we expected based on the fact that the lower viscosity and decreased density would result in higher friction and churning losses. The last metric that was assessed was the enthalpy flow change, which increased with increasing mass flow rate and decreasing temperature.

Analysis of NCERC Critical Experiments with ENDF/B Nuclear Data Libraries

Nuclear data (ND) libraries are the backbone of the nuclear industry, as they are the collections of tabulated probabilities that define sub-atomic particle interactions with matter. In the areas of criticality safety and experiments, no evaluated nuclear data files (ENDF) are more important than those containing neutron cross section data. It is upon these files, and accompanying radiation transport codes, that practitioners are enabled to safely design both subcritical and critical systems. Likewise, in a symbiotic fashion, it is the same critical assemblies which are used primarily to validate that the cross sections are correct. The ENDF/B library, the United States’ national library maintained by the National Nuclear Data Center (NNDC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), is soon releasing a new version, ENDF/B-VIII.1. Prior to the official release, several beta versions of the library were prepared and tested in simulation suites. The work presented here are results comparing the newest ENDF/B beta release (ENDF/B-VIII.1b3) and ENDF/B-VIII.0 with recent experiments done at the National Criticality Experiments Research Center (NCERC) as well as correlated experiments from the Los Alamos Critical Experiments Facility (LACEF). These NCERC and LACEF experiments were performed in part to provide validation for various cross sections that were identified as insufficient in the ENDF/B-VIII.0. In particular, lead, copper, fluorine, and chlorine, as well as the major actinides, were targeted from the last decade of critical experiments.

Machine Learning-Driven Reliability Estimation of PV Inverters Considering Alert-Ambient Variability

Weather-induced spatio-temporal degradation limits outdoor PV inverter lifetime and reliability, necessitating advanced data analysis. This study employs a top-down, data-driven approach utilizing multiple machine learning (ML) algorithms to estimate inverter reliability in a 1.4 MW PV power plant, considering factors such as irradiance, humidity, temperature, time of day, and weather conditions. An extensive alert dataset from 17 identical inverters, including alert types, propagation, and frequency, reveals significant correlations with environmental factors and inverter output power, enabling the construction of a performance reliability model. Dual-stage supervised-ML models are evaluated for accuracy, with the ‘classification-regression’ model by an artificial neural network (ANN) tested on the averaged “Alert-Ambient” dataset, which is outperformed by ‘clustering-regression’ models using random forest (RF) and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) on individual inverter datasets. K-means clustering applies principal component analysis to reduce dimensions, achieving improved accuracy beyond the 80% achieved by ANN on the averaged dataset. Second-stage regression estimates inverter reliability with a mean square error of 0.0195 on the averaged dataset and as low as 0.002 on individual inverter datasets using RF. Furthermore, these findings highlight the method's suitability for estimating PV inverter output reliability under ambient conditions, essential for digital twin development and related applications.

Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Ni-based Alloys Fabricated by Laser Powder Bed Fusion

The Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies (AMMT) program is aiming at the accelerated incorporation of new materials and manufacturing technologies into nuclear-related systems. Complex Ni-based components fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) could enable operating temperatures at T > 700°C in aggressive environments such as molten salts or liquid metals. However, available mechanical properties data relevant to material qualification remains limited, in particular for Ni-based alloys routinely fabricated by LPBF such as IN718 (Ni- 19Cr-18Fe-5Nb-3Mo) and Haynes 282 (Ni-20Cr-10Co-8.5Mo-2.1Ti-1.5Al). Creep testing was conducted on LPBF 718 at 600°C and 650°C and on LPBF 282 at 750°C. finding that the creep strength of the two alloys was close to that of wrought counterparts. with lower ductility at rupture. Heat treatments were tailored to the LPBF-specific microstructure to achieve grain recrystallization and form strengthening γ' precipitates for LPBF 282 and γ' and γ" precipitates for LPBF 718. In-situ data generated during printing and ex-situ X-ray computed tomography (XCT) scans were used to correlate the creep properties of LPBF 282 to the material flaw distribution. In- situ data revealed that spatter particles are the potential causes for flaws formation in LPBF 282. with significant variation between rods based on their location on the build plate. XCT scans revealed the formation of a larger number of creep flaws after testing in the specimens with a higher initial flaw density. which led to a lower ductility for the specimen.

Taming the virtual space for incremental full configuration interaction

Incremental full configuration interaction (iFCI) closely approximates the FCI limit with polynomial cost through a many-body expansion of the correlation energy, providing highly accurate total energies within a given basis set. To extend iFCI beyond previous basis set limitations, this work introduces a novel natural orbital (NO) screening approach, incremental NO full configuration interaction (iNO-FCI). By consideration of the importance of virtual orbital selection in the convergence of iFCI, iNO-FCI maximizes the consistency between orbitals selected for each correlated body. iNO-FCI employs a principle of cancellation of errors and ensures that the same set of virtual NOs is used for interdependent terms. Here, this strategy significantly reduces computational cost without compromising precision. Computational savings of up to 95% are demonstrated, allowing access to larger basis sets that were previously computationally prohibitive. iNO-FCI is herein introduced and benchmarked for several difficult test cases involving double-bond dissociation, biradical systems, conjugated π systems, and the spin gap of a Cu-based transition metal complex.

Beyond real: alternative unitary cluster Jastrow models for molecular electronic structure calculations on near-term quantum computers

Near-term quantum devices require wavefunction ansätze that are expressive while also of shallow circuit depth in order to both accurately and efficiently simulate molecular electronic structure. While the unitary coupled cluster ansatz (e.g., UCCSD) has become a standard, the high gate count associated with the implementation of this limits its feasibility on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) hardware. k -Fold unitary cluster Jastrow (uCJ) ansätze mitigate this challenge by providing O( kN 2 ) circuit scaling and favorable linear depth circuit implementation. Previous work has focused on the real orbitalrotation (Re-uCJ) variant of uCJ, which allows an exact (Trotter-free) implementation. Here we extend and generalize the k -fold uCJ framework by introducing two new variants, Im-uCJ and g-uCJ, which incorporate imaginary and fully complex orbital rotation operators, respectively. Similar to Re-uCJ, both of the new variants achieve quadratic gate-count scaling. Our results focus on the simplest k = 1 model, and show that the uCJ models frequently maintain energy errors within chemical accuracy (∼1 kcal mol −1 ). Both g-uCJ and Im-uCJ are more expressive in terms of capturing electron correlation and are also more accurate than the earlier Re-uCJ ansatz. We further show that Im-uCJ and g-uCJ circuits can also be implemented exactly, without any Trotter decomposition. Numerical tests using k = 1 on H 2 , H 3 + , Be 2 , C 2 H 4 , C 2 H 6 and C 6 H 6 in various basis sets confirm the practical feasibility of these shallow Jastrow-based ansätze for applications on near-term quantum hardware.

Evaluation of a Smoke Opacity Sensor for Improving Residential Wood Heater Combustion

Residential wood heating lacks real-time particulate matter (PM) monitoring technologies capable of measuring emissions directly from flue gases. This study evaluates the performance of the Octoring, an opacity-based smoke sensor developed to monitor wood heater emissions and provide feedback for improved combustion. The device was tested on catalytic and non-catalytic cordwood heaters and a pellet heater during startup, high-burn, and low-burn phases. Performance was assessed against reference particle instruments and gravimetric measurements using concordance, correlation, and agreement analyses. Results show that temperature-dependent drift is the primary limitation affecting sensor accuracy, with systematic drift observed across ambient and combustion conditions. Agreement with reference instruments ranged from poor to good depending on operating conditions, with the strongest performance observed during pellet heater high-burn operation. These findings establish a performance baseline for opacity-based sensing technologies and identify key areas for further development before practical deployment in residential wood combustion monitoring systems.

Long-Term Performance of Reference Electrodes in Alkaline Radioactive Waste Storage Environments

Accurate measurements of corrosion potential are important for assessing the likelihood of internal localized corrosion and stress corrosion cracking of carbon steel tanks used for storing radioactive wastes. Reference electrodes in underground radioactive waste storage tanks are challenging to deploy, and more difficult to extract and replace frequently due to radiological exposure and disposal constraints. Hence, electrodes that exhibit stable performance over long periods of immersion in these waste environments are desirable. The present study evaluates the stability of reference electrodes used in radioactive waste storage tanks over a much longer period than previously studied. Long-term tests on Ag/AgCl and Hg/HgO reference electrodes were performed in nonradioactive simulants formulated from wastes stored at the Hanford site. Electrode degradation, which was studied by various in situ and ex situ evaluation techniques, was correlated to changes in electrode fill chemistry from waste intrusion via the porous frit junction. An intentional contamination study was performed to better understand and predict contamination effects on electrode potential drift.

Gaussian processes for inferring parton distributions

The extraction of parton distribution functions (PDFs) from experimental or lattice QCD data is an ill-posed inverse problem, where regularization strongly impacts both systematic uncertainties and the reliability of the results. We study a framework based on Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) to reconstruct PDFs from lattice QCD matrix elements. Within a Bayesian framework, Gaussian processes serve as flexible priors that encode uncertainties, correlations, and constraints without imposing rigid functional forms. We investigate a wide range of kernel choices, mean functions, and hyperparameter treatments. We quantify information gained from the data using the Kullback-Leibler divergence. Synthetic data tests demonstrate the consistency and robustness of the method. Our study establishes GPR as a systematic and non-parametric approach to PDF reconstruction, offering controlled uncertainty estimates and reduced model bias in lattice QCD analyses.

The influence of electrode crack dimensions on the durability of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells

Electrode cracks in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are correlated with early onset failures. Here, in this work we investigate the influence of cracked gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) on the durability of the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) using a combined chemical-mechanical accelerated stress test (AST). Electrode crack dimensions were systematically tuned using ink formulations and material selection strategies. A parameter to describe the crack width areal density (Φ CW ) was used to quantify the degree of discontinuity in the electrode surfaces. Open circuit voltage (OCV) transient analyses were used to benchmark and characterize the failure mechanisms in the MEAs as a function of the Φ CW . While smaller electrode-level cracks, on the order of microns, yielded a 28 % decrease in operating lifetime, larger cracks that propagated from a discontinuous, microporous layer (MPL) coating, decreased the operating lifetime by 56 %. This work emphasizes the need for material processing strategies that consider defect tolerances to limit membrane failures in PEMFCs.

An atomistic study connecting underlying dislocation behavior with superior mechanical properties of NiCoCr medium entropy alloy

NiCoCr-based medium-entropy alloy (MEA) with a simple face-centered cubic crystal phase exhibits excellent mechanical properties, often attributed to the synergy of multiple deformation mechanisms. However, the atomistic origin of their outstanding mechanical response, including microstructural evolution and dislocation behavior under varying strain-rates and orientation, remains unclear. In this work, we employ large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate the changes in deformation mechanisms along three distinct orientations ([110], [111], [100]) under varying strain rates (1 ×10 8 /sec, 1 ×10 10 /sec, 1 ×10 12 /sec) in the NiCoCr MEA. The presence of the stair-rod and the Shockley partial dislocations under uniaxial tensile strain are found to play a key role in the formation of deformation twinning and ε-martensite, which positively correlates with strain-rate dependent dislocation analysis. These findings further establish the role of the dislocations in controlling the superior mechanical response and excellent fracture toughness of the NiCoCr MEA. Systematic transmission-electron microscopy tests performed on the [111]-oriented crystals, deformed at different strain levels, at room temperature provide clear evidence of both the extended stacking-fault and the stair rods, confirming the predicted microstructural features. Finally, this study offers key insights into the complex nucleation mechanisms of deformation twinning and ε-martensite, such as twinning – and transformation–induced plasticity (TWIP-TRIP), providing valuable guidelines for studying similar material classes.

Mechanistic Understanding of Interphase-driven Aging in Silicon Anodes

Conventional solid electrolyte interphases (SEIs) strongly adhere to micro-silicon (µ-Si) and crack under volume changes, causing poor cycling performance. Nano-silicon improves cycling performance but remains costly with limited calendar life. Here potentiostatic ageing tests demonstrate that both calendar and cycle ageing are governed by SEI cracking and dissolution with different relative contributions. When the system is not dominated by SEI dissolution, the relative calendar life of Si anodes could correlates positively with their cycle life. LiF-rich SEI that enables long cycle life in µ-Si is therefore expected to enhance calendar life as well. Using this framework, we screened electrolytes, SEIs and electrodes and validated them with full-cell storage. LiF-rich SEI minimizes cracking and dissolution, enabling μ-Si to achieve excellent calendar life, whereas nano-silicon suffers from SEI dissolution and needs reduced electrolyte–electrode contact for better calendar life. This work clarifies calendar-ageing behaviour and accelerates electrolytes and SEI development for long-life Si anodes.
