Energetic particle physics: Chapter 7 of the special issue: on the path to tokamak burning plasma operation

We review the physics of energetic particles (EPs) in magnetically confined burning fusion plasmas with focus on advances since the last update of the ITER Physics Basis (Fasoli et al 2007 Nucl. Fusion 47 S264). Topics include basic EP physics, EP generation, diagnostics of EPs and instabilities, the interaction of EPs and thermal plasma instabilities, EP-driven instabilities, energetic particle modes (EPMs), and turbulence, linear and nonlinear stability and simulation of EP-driven instabilities and EPMs, 3D effects, scenario optimization strategies based on EP phase-space control, EPs in reduced field scenarios in ITER before DT, and the physics of runaway electrons. We describe the simulation and modeling of EPs in fusion plasmas, including instability drive and damping as well as EP transport, with a range of approaches from first-principles to reduced models, including gyrokinetic simulations, kinetic-MHD models, gyrofluid models, reduced models, and semi-analytical approaches.

Lattice distortions and metal-insulator transition in hexagonal FeS

Using total x-ray scattering and density functional theory calculations based on experimental data, we study the metal-insulator transition (MIT) in the strongly correlated system FeS with hexagonal symmetry. We find that it arises from the combined effect of static lattice distortions and antiferromagnetic ordering, while electron-electron correlations appear to play a minor role. The presence of local lattice distortions above the MIT explains well the evolution of transport and magnetic properties with changing temperature or pressure. Intrinsically, lattice distortions in hexagonal FeS act as lattice degrees of freedom that bridge competing electronic phases, thus facilitating transitions between them. The mechanism of MIT operating in h-FeS appears to be common to strongly correlated binary systems involving 3d transition metals, warranting further investigations on the lattice distortions-property relationship in this broad class of materials using the approach adopted here.

Monte-Carlo Simulation of Radiation Track Structure and Calculation of Dose Deposition in Nanovolumes

INTRODUCTION: The radiation track structure is of crucial importance to understand radiation damage to molecules and subsequent biological effects. Of a particular importance in radiobiology is the induction of double-strand breaks (DSBs) by ionizing radiation, which are caused by clusters of lesions in DNA, and oxidative damage to cellular constituents leading to aberrant signaling cascades. DSB can be visualized within cell nuclei with gamma-H2AX experiments. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In DSB induction models, the DSB probability is usually calculated by the local dose obtained from a radial dose profile of HZE tracks. In this work, the local dose imparted by HZE ions is calculated directly from the 3D Monte-Carlo simulation code RITRACKS. A cubic volume of 5 micron edge (Figure 1) is irradiated by a (Fe26+)-56 ion of 1 GeV/amu (LET approx.150 keV/micron) and by a fluence of 450 H+ ions, 300 MeV/amu (LET approx. 0.3 keV/micron). In both cases, the dose deposited in the volume is approx.1 Gy. The dose is then calculated into each 3D pixels (voxels) of 20 nm edge and visualized in 3D. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The dose is deposited uniformly in the volume by the H+ ions. The voxels which receive a high dose (orange) corresponds to electron track ends. The dose is deposited differently by the 56Fe26+ ion. Very high dose (red) is deposited in voxels with direct ion traversal. Voxels with electron track ends (orange) are also found distributed around the path of the track. In both cases, the appearance of the dose distribution looks very similar to DSBs seen in gammaH2AX experiments, particularly when the visualization threshold is applied. CONCLUSION: The refinement of the dose calculation to the nanometer scale has revealed important differences in the energy deposition between high- and low-LET ions. Voxels of very high dose are only found in the path of high-LET ions. Interestingly, experiments have shown that DSB induced by high-LET radiation are more difficult to repair. Therefore, this new approach may be useful to understand the nature of DSB and oxidative damage induced by ionizing radiation.

Overcoming the Critical Shortage of STEM - Prepared Secondary Students Through Modeling and Simulation

In developing understanding of technological systems - modeling and simulation tools aid significantly in the learning and visualization processes. In design courses we sketch , extrude, shape, refine and animate with virtual tools in 3D. Final designs are built using a 3D printer. Aspiring architects create spaces with realistic materials and lighting schemes rendered on model surfaces to create breathtaking walk-throughs of virtual spaces. Digital Electronics students design systems that address real-world needs. Designs are simulated in virtual circuits to provide proof of concept before physical construction. This vastly increases students' ability to design and build complex systems. We find students using modeling and simulation in the learning process, assimilate information at a much faster pace and engage more deeply in learning. As Pre-Engineering educators within the Career and Technical Education program at our school division's Technology Academy our task is to help learners in their quest to develop deep understanding of complex technological systems in a variety of engineering disciplines. Today's young learners have vast opportunities to learn with tools that many of us only dreamed about a decade or so ago when we were engaged in engineering and other technical studies. Today's learner paints with a virtual brush - scenes that can aid significantly in the learning and visualization processes. Modeling and simulation systems have become the new standard tool set in the technical classroom [1-5]. Modeling and simulation systems are now applied as feedback loops in the learning environment. Much of the study of behavior change through the use of feedback loops can be attributed to Stanford Psychologist Alfred Bandura. "Drawing on several education experiments involving children, Bandura observed that giving individuals a clear goal and a means to evaluate their progress toward that goal greatly increased the likelihood that they would achieve it."

Topological magnons and topological electronic properties in metallic Kagome magnets

The primary goal of this project is to study metallic Kagome magnets that potentially host topological electronic properties and topological magnetic excitations, aiming to understand the effect of lattice geometry on topological character of magnons and electronic bands and to study the interplay between magnetism and topological electronic properties. Through this DOE-funded research program, we have unraveled novel electronic and thermoelectric properties of RMn 6 Sn 6 (R = Y, Tb, and Er) and Fe 3 Ge Kagome magnets, including anomalous Hall effect and anomalous Nernst effect, which are associated with the Berry curvature contribution from the massive Dirac gaps in the 3D momentum space. In addition, we have also revealed topological Hall effect and topological Nernst effect, and we ascribed these phenomena to the Berry curvature associated with the magnetic field-induced non-zero scalar spin chirality. These features highlight the synergic effects of the Berry phases in both momentum space and real space of Kagome magnets, which render them excellent candidates for room-temperature electronic and thermoelectric applications based on transverse transport. In addition, through this program we have also study novel thermal transport properties of quantum materials by probing the thermal Hall effect, which can provide crucial insights into nontrivial topological character and chirality of quasiparticles like magnons and magnon-polarons. This report provides an overview of some project activities related to these accomplishments.

Atomic Data and Spectral Line Intensities for Ar XII

Electron impact collision strengths; energy levels; oscillator strengths and spontaneous radiative decay rates are calculated for Ar XII. The configurations used are 2s(exp 2)2p(exp 3), 2s2p(exp4), 2p(exp 5), 2s22p23s, 2s(exp 2)2p(exp 2)3p, and 2s(exp 2)2p(exp 2)3d giving rise to 72 fine-structure levels in intermediate coupling. Collision strengths are calculated at five incident energies: 35,70, 105, 140 and 175 Ry. They are complemented by Coulomb-Born limits towards infinite collision energy for forbidden transitions and line strengths for optically allowed transitions. Excitation rate coefficients are calculated as a function of electron temperature by assuming a Maxwellian electron velocity distribution. Using the excitation rate coefficients and the radiative transition rates, statistical equilibrium equations for level populations are solved at electron densities covering the range of 10(exp 8)-101(exp 14) cm(exp -3) at an electron temperature of log T(sub e)/K = 6.4, corresponding to maximum abundance of Ar XII. Relative spectral line intensities are calculated.

Artificial correlation heating in PIC simulations

The Particle-in-Cell (PIC) method, a cornerstone in plasma modeling, is widely employed for its ability to simulate kinetic phenomena in device-scale domains. Part of what makes this possible is that computational macroparticles represent many physical particles. It converges under certain constraints, including a grid spacing that resolves the Debye length and a time step small enough to respect the Courant–Friedrichs–Lewy condition and plasma frequency stability limit. Here, we introduce a new constraint necessary to avoid Artificial Correlation Heating (ACH). This requires that the macroparticle coupling strength be smaller than one, Γ ω < 1, where Γ ω ≡ Γω 2/3 ⁠, Γ = Z 2 e 2 /(4πε 0 ak B T) is the physical coupling strength, and w is the macroparticle weight. This is particularly relevant to 3D simulations of dense plasmas, which are becoming common with modern computing power. If this condition is violated, the finite macroparticle weight artificially enhances the coupling strength and causes the plasma to heat until the macroparticle coupling strength is near unity, depending on the grid resolution. A comprehensive model of ACH is developed that incorporates electron density, temperature, macroparticle weight, and grid resolution. It is then tested using PIC simulations, delineating the boundaries of the method's applicability and offering a predictive framework for ACH. Moreover, the research explores a runaway heating process induced by ACH in the presence of ionization, which can lead to numerical instability. A conclusion of this study is that the onset of ACH can impose a more stringent constraint on the macroparticle weight and average number of macroparticles per cell than what is typically expected, particularly in 3D simulations of dense plasmas.

3D Visualization of Monte-Carlo Simulation's of HZE Track Structure and Initial Chemical Species

Heavy ions biophysics is important for space radiation risk assessment [1] and hadron-therapy [2]. The characteristic of heavy ions tracks include a very high energy deposition region close to the track (<20 nm) denoted as the track core, and an outer penumbra region consisting of individual secondary electrons (6-rays). A still open question is the radiobiological effects of 6- rays relative to the track core. Of importance is the induction of double-strand breaks (DSB) [3] and oxidative damage to the biomolecules and the tissue matrix, considered the most important lesions for acute and long term effects of radiation. In this work, we have simulated a 56Fe26+ ion track of 1 GeV/amu with our Monte-Carlo code RITRACKS [4]. The simulation results have been used to calculate the energy depiction and initial chemical species in a "voxelized" space, which is then visualized in 3D. Several voxels with dose >1000 Gy are found in the penumbra, some located ~0.1 mm from the track core. In computational models, the DSB induction probability is calculated with radial dose [6], which may not take into account the higher RBE of electron track ends for DSB induction. Therefore, these simulations should help improve models of DSB induction and our understanding of heavy ions biophysics.

Improving ICARUS Track Reconstruction Algorithms

The ICARUS experiment is part of the Short-Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program at Fermilab. The main goal of the experiment is to investigate the possibility of sterile neutrinos in the O(1 eV) mass region and provide clarification of the anomaly detected from the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND) and MiniBooNE experiments. The ICARUS-T600 detector is a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr-TPC), that can provide excellent 3D imaging and calorimetric reconstruction of any ionizing particles. This detection technique allows a detailed study of neutrino interactions, spanning a wide energy spectrum (from a few keV to several hundreds of GeV). The detector consists of two identical adjacent modules, filled with a total of 760 tons of ultra-pure liquid argon. Each module houses two LAr-TPCs separated by a common cathode with a maximum drift distance of 1.5 m, equivalent to about 1 ms drift time for the nominal $500$ V/m electric drift field. The anode is made of three parallel wire planes positioned 3 mm apart, where the stainless-steel wires are oriented on each plane at a different angle with respect to the horizontal direction ($+60^\degree$,$-60^\degree$,$0^\degree$). The first two planes (Induction 1 and Induction 2) provide a non-destructive charge measurement, whereas the ionization charge is fully collected by the last collection plane. In total, 53248 wires with a 3 mm pitch and length up to 9 m are installed in the detector. In the first stage of the reconstruction, segments of waveforms corresponding to physical signals (hits) are searched for in the deconvolved wire waveform with a threshold-based hit-finding algorithm. Each hit is then fitted with a Gaussian, whose area is proportional to the number of drift electrons generating the signal. In the second stage of the reconstruction, hits are passed as input to Pandora, a framework software composed of different pattern recognition algorithms, that performs a 3D reconstruction of the full image recorded in the collected event, including the identification of interaction vertices and tracks and showers inside the TPC. These are organized into a hierarchical structure (called slice) of particles generated starting from a primary interaction vertex. In some cases, related to the inefficiencies in the hit detection or excessive deflection of the particle trajectory, Pandora breaks the particle's track into two or more smaller pieces and considers each piece as an independent track. We studied this phenomenon focusing on primary muons from ν_μ CC interactions contained in a single module with a track at least 20 cm long, to exclude delta rays. The study determined that about $7-8\%$ of the muon tracks are broken. Approximately $80\%$ of the times, Pandora assigns all segments of the track to the same slice (intra-slice track split), while in the remaining $20\%$ of the cases, one of the segments is associated with another slice (extra-slice track split). To mitigate this phenomenon, we designed an algorithm that detects and stitches the tracks broken by Pandora for the intra-slice split. In Monte Carlo simulations, the algorithm showed an efficiency exceeding $80\%$ and a purity exceeding $93\%$.

Metal additively manufactured wavy fin cold-plate architecture for improved thermal-hydraulic performance

Rapid growth in artificial intelligence and data center workloads demands high-performance liquid cooling to manage increasing chip power. This study presents two metal-additive-manufactured cold plates with sinusoidal fins, constant-amplitude wavy fins and linearly variable-amplitude wavy fins and compares them against metal-additive-manufactured straight fins using experiments conducted at 1 kW heat dissipation as well as high-fidelity 3D conjugate computational fluid dynamic simulations. The cold plates were printed in AlSi10Mg material and underwent design using a Python-automated workflow prior to manufacture and testing. The experiments show that wavy fins reduce the normalized thermal resistance by 35 to 45 % at water flow rates from 1 to 4 LPM. At a fixed 20 kPa pressure drop, the variable-waviness design lowered peak surface temperature by 9 °C and thermal resistance by 51 %, while edge-channel maldistribution in the constant wavy fin design limited gains. A thermal resistance breakdown revealed that 55–63 % of the total thermal resistance in wavy designs comes from base heat conduction, 27–33 % from fin heat conduction, and 9–13 % from fin heat convection, indicating the need to address conduction bottlenecks. Parametric sweeps identify a 3 mm fin pitch as optimal, and that horizontal inlet/outlet manifolds further reduce pressure drop by 30–60 % and thermal resistance by 9–16 % relative to vertical inlet-outlet manifolds. The results yield comprehensive guidelines for fin geometry, manifold alignment, material selection and additive-manufacturing constraints to realize high-performance liquid-cooled cold plates for power-dense electronics.

Wavelength modulation laser-induced fluorescence for plasma characterization

Laser-Induced Fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy is an essential tool for probing ion and atom velocity distribution functions (VDFs) in complex plasmas. VDFs carry information about the kinetic properties of species that is critical for plasma characterization. Accurate interpretation of these functions is challenging due to factors such as multicomponent distributions, broadening effects, and background emissions. Our research investigates the use of Wavelength Modulation (WM) LIF to enhance the sensitivity of VDF measurements. Unlike standard Amplitude Modulation (AM) methods, WM–LIF measures the derivative of the LIF signal. This approach makes variations in VDF shape more pronounced. VDF measurements with WM–LIF were investigated with both numerical modeling and experimental measurements. The developed model enables the generation of both WM and AM signals, facilitating comparative analysis of fitting outcomes. Experiments were conducted in a weakly collisional argon plasma with magnetized electrons and non-magnetized ions. Measurements of the argon ion VDFs employed a narrow-band tunable diode laser, which scanned the 4p 4 D 7/2 –3d 4 F 9/2 transition centered at 664.553 nm in vacuum. A lock-in amplifier detected the second harmonic WM signal, which was generated by modulating the laser wavelength with an externally controlled piezo-driven mirror of the diode laser. Finally, our findings indicate that the WM–LIF signal is more sensitive to fitting parameters, allowing for better identification of VDF parameters such as the number of distribution components, their temperatures, and velocities. In addition, WM–LIF can serve as an independent method to verify AM measurements and is particularly beneficial in environments with substantial light noise or background emissions, such as those involving thermionic cathodes and reflective surfaces.

BERT Non-Destructively Probes the Microstructure of Dissimilar Welds [Poster]

Energy-resolved neutron imaging (ERNI) utilizes contrast provided by diffraction. Microstructure with >100µm grains as in cast, annealed or welded materials is difficult to characterize by X-ray or electron-based methods $\Rightarrow$ Well-suited for neutron Bragg-edge radiography. BERT was applied to dissimilar welds of Inconel on steel produced by additive manufacturing. Viewing the sample at time-of-flight/energy/wavelength where a single grain orientation dominates the attenuation allows to map grain orientations. Similarly to electron-backscatter diffraction (EBSD) but on cm length scales and through-thickness. Combined with texture measurements on the HIPPO instrument, identifying major grain orientations, 2D and 3D grain orientation maps are feasible. Results can guide development of thermo-mechanical treatment avoiding or introducing such microstructures, characterize dissimilar welds, interpretation of acoustic signals for quality control, guide destructive examination with X-rays/electrons, or provide data for codes predicting such microstructures.

Electron-impact ionization of laser-excited Ba-138 (... 5p6 6s 6p) and Ba-138 (... 5p6 6s 5d) atoms

Electron-impact ionization cross sections for laser-excited Ba-138 (... 5p6 6s 6p; 1P1, M = - 1) and cascade-populated Ba-138 (... 5p6 6s 5d; 1D + 3D) atoms were measured in the threshold to 10 eV energy range. The peak cross sections for the excited species are about a factor of 2 larger than that for ground-state Ba. In addition, it was demonstrated that ionization from individual magnetic substates of various hyperfine levels can be studied. The ionization cross sections in the case of Ba-138 (1P1) were found to be equal for the M = 0 and for the M = + or - 1 sublevels within the experimental error limit.

A simple interpretation of the Fe2(-) photoelectron spectrum

The photoelectron spectrum of Fe2(-) can be simply interpreted in terms of electron detachment from the mildly bonding 4s sigma sup * sub u orbital of a (4s sigma sub s)(sup 2) (4s sigma sup * sub u)(sup 2) (3d)(sup 13) anion. This interpretation implies a (4s sigma sub g)(sup 2) (4s sigma sup * sub u)(sup1) (3d)(sup13) configuration for the ground state of Fe2, correlating with one ground state (4s2 3d6) and one excited state (4s1 3d7) Fe atom. A comparison of the bond length and vibrational frequency of Fe2 to values for transition metal dimers containing single 4s-4s bonds is suggestive of 3d-3d bonding in this molecule. The results of preliminary full-valence configuration interaction calculations provide stron support for the proposed Fe2 and Fe2(-) configurations.

Magnetic metamaterials by ion-implantation

We present a method for the additive fabrication of planar magnetic nanoarrays with minimal surface roughness. Synthesis is accomplished by combining electron-beam lithography, used to generate nanometric patterned masks, with ion implantation in thin films. By implanting 56 Fe + ions, we are able to introduce magnetic functionality in a controlled manner into continuous Pd thin films, achieving 3D spatial resolution down to a few tens of nanometers. Our results demonstrate the application of this technique in fabricating square artificial spin ice lattices, which exhibit well-defined magnetization textures and interactions among the patterned magnetic elements.

Three-Dimensional Ultrastructure of Arabidopsis Cotyledons Infected with Colletotrichum higginsianum

We used serial block-face scanning electron microscopy (SBF-SEM) to study the host–pathogen interface between Arabidopsis cotyledons and the hemibiotrophic fungus Colletotrichum higginsianum. By combining high-pressure freezing and freeze-substitution with SBF-SEM, followed by segmentation and reconstruction of the imaging volume using the freely accessible software IMOD, we created 3D models of the series of cytological events that occur during the Colletotrichum–Arabidopsis susceptible interaction. We found that the host cell membranes underwent massive expansion to accommodate the rapidly growing intracellular hypha. As the fungal infection proceeded from the biotrophic to the necrotrophic stage, the host cell membranes went through increasing levels of disintegration culminating in host cell death. Intriguingly, we documented autophagosomes in proximity to biotrophic hyphae using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and a concurrent increase in autophagic flux between early to mid/late biotrophic phase of the infection process. Occasionally, we observed osmiophilic bodies in the vicinity of biotrophic hyphae using TEM only and near necrotrophic hyphae under both TEM and SBF-SEM. Overall, we established a method for obtaining serial SBF-SEM images, each with a lateral ( x-y) pixel resolution of 10 nm and an axial ( z) resolution of 40 nm, that can be reconstructed into interactive 3D models using the IMOD. Application of this method to the Colletotrichum–Arabidopsis pathosystem allowed us to more fully understand the spatial arrangement and morphological architecture of the fungal hyphae after they penetrate epidermal cells of Arabidopsis cotyledons and the cytological changes the host cell undergoes as the infection progresses toward necrotrophy.

Emergence of flat bands and ferromagnetic fluctuations via orbital-selective electron correlations in Mn-based kagome metal

Kagome lattice has been actively studied for the possible realization of frustration-induced two-dimensional flat bands and a number of correlation-induced phases. Currently, the search for kagome systems with a nearly dispersionless flat band close to the Fermi level is ongoing. Here, by combining theoretical and experimental tools, we present Sc 3 Mn 3 Al 7 Si 5 as a novel realization of correlation-induced almost-flat bands in the kagome lattice in the vicinity of the Fermi level. Our magnetic susceptibility, 27 Al nuclear magnetic resonance, transport, and optical conductivity measurements provide signatures of a correlated metallic phase with tantalizing ferromagnetic instability. Our dynamical mean-field calculations suggest that such ferromagnetic instability observed originates from the formation of nearly flat dispersions close to the Fermi level, where electron correlations induce strong orbital-selective renormalization and manifestation of the kagome-frustrated bands. In addition, a significant negative magnetoresistance signal is observed, which can be attributed to the suppression of flat-band-induced ferromagnetic fluctuation, which further supports the formation of flat bands in this compound. These findings broaden a new prospect to harness correlated topological phases via multiorbital correlations in 3d-based kagome systems.

Electron Impact Excitation of Forbidden and Allowed Transitions in O(II)

The B-spline R-matrix method is used to investigate the electron impact excitation of forbidden and allowed transitions in singly ionized oxygen. The relativistic effects have been incorporated in the Breit-Pauli Hamiltonian. Flexible non-orthogonal sets of radial functions are used to obtain accurate target description and to represent the scattering functions. The 47 fine-structure levels of the 2s(sup 2)2p(sup 3), 2s2p(sup 4), 2s(sup 2)2p(sup 2)3s, 2s(sup 2)2p(sup 2)3p and 2s(sup 2)2p(sup 2)3d configurations have been included in the scattering calculation. A calculation with 62 levels in the close-coupling expansion using the Breit-Pauli R-matrix (BPRM) method with orthogonal radial functions has also been carried out to check electron correlation, relativistic and channel coupling effects. The present results are in good agreement with the previous 16-level BPRM calculation by Montenegro et a1 (2006 J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys. 39 1863-77) for the forbidden transitions, but differ from the 21-level BPRM calculation by McLaughlin and Bell (1998 J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys. 31 4317-29). Our cross sections for the first forbidden (sup 4)S(sup o)-(sup 2)D(sup o)and resonance (sup 4)S(sup o)-2s(sup 2)p(sup 4) (sup 4)P transitions are in reasonably good agreement with the electron energy-loss and merged-beams experiment.
