Liquid metal-based polarized positron generation benchmark using the GEANT4 toolkit

In this work, we report simulation results for the positron yield and polarization of polarized electron beams incident on GaInSn and PbBi liquid metal targets. One of the proposed upgrades to 12 GeV CEBAF is the use of a continuous wave polarized positron beam for physics experiments. High-Z liquid metal jets are excellent candidates for positron production targets because they can withstand high power beams. Polarized positron beams can be generated from a primary electron beam incident to thick high-Z targets through circular polarized bremsstrahlung conversion to linearly polarized pair production. This polarization transfer from the primary electron beam has been previously demonstrated at Jefferson Lab in the PEPPo experiment with a tungsten target at relatively low energies. Here we report Geant4 simulations for 10 and 120 MeV electron beams incident on GaInSn and PbBi liquid metal targets. These simulations are compared to simulations with a solid tungsten target, as well as with unpolarized simulations using MCNP6.

Erbium-Implanted WS 2 Flakes with Room-Temperature Photon Emission at Telecom Wavelengths

Optically addressable spin impurities in crystals along with device engineering provide an attractive route to realizing quantum technologies in the solid state, but reconciling disparate emitter and host material constraints for a given target application is often challenging. Rare-earth ions in two-dimensional (2D) materials could mitigate this problem given the atomic-like transitions of the emitters and the versatile nature of van der Waals systems. Here we combine ion implantation, confocal microscopy, and ab initio calculations to examine the photon emission of Er-doped WS 2 flakes. Optical spectroscopy reveals narrow, long-lived photoluminescence lines in the telecom band, which we activate after low-temperature thermal annealing. Spectroscopic and polarization-selective measurements show a uniform response across the ensemble, while the fluorescence brightness remains mostly unchanged with temperature, suggesting nonradiative relaxation channels are inefficient. Our results create opportunities for novel solid state devices coupling 2D-hosted, telecom-band emitters to photonic heterostructures separately optimized for photon manipulation.

An experimental platform for investigating astrophysically relevant magnetized plasma jets on the COBRA facility

A new platform has been developed for the 1-MA COBRA generator to investigate the physical processes affecting the formation, collimation, and stability of high-speed outflows in magnetically driven laboratory plasma jets. Such experiments serve as diagnostically accessible surrogates for astrophysical jets under the assumption that the underlying dynamics are scale invariant. In contrast to previous current driven high energy density laboratory jet experiments that use radial/conical wire arrays or foils, the platform described here uses azimuthally symmetric gas-puff injection. This avoids the ablation phase from a solid target, allowing the jets to develop earlier and be driven longer without depleting their mass source and disrupting. A permanent magnet provides an initial poloidal magnetic field, which links the two concentric electrodes and mimics the boundary conditions of a star-accretion disk system. Extended magnetohydrodynamic effects can be assessed using a polarity convolute, which allows for reversal of the electrode bias. The resulting plasma jets exhibit remarkable stability, persisting for hundreds of nanoseconds and achieving aspect ratios ≳30:1.

The Transverse Structure of the Deuteron with Drell-Yan

We propose to measure neutron and deuteron transversity TMDs. The quark transversity distributions of the nucleon are decoupled from the deuteron gluon transversity in the $Q^2$ evolution due to the chiral-odd property in the transversely-polarized target. The gluon transversity TMD only exists for targets of spin greater or equal to 1 and does not mix with quark distributions at leading twist, thereby providing a particularly clean probe of gluonic degrees of freedom. This experiment would be the first of its kind and would probe the gluonic structure of the deuteron, investigating exotic glue contributions in the nucleus not associated with individual nucleons. This experiment can be performed with the SpinQuest polarized target recently assembled for experiment E1039 and the spectrometer already in place in NM4. This new experimental setup would require very minimal modification to the target system and no modification to the detector package. An additional RF-circuit and target coil are necessary to RF-modulate across the domain of the Larmor frequency to manipulate the solid-state target spin population densities. Dedicated beam-time with this novel target system is required to achieve our physics goals.

Tuning electrochemical and transport processes to achieve extreme performance and efficiency in solid oxide cells

Solid oxide cells (SOCs) have important applications as fuel cells and electrolyzers. The application for storage of renewable electricity is also becoming increasingly relevant; however, it is difficult to meet stringent area-specific resistance (ASR) and long-term stability targets needed to achieve required efficiency and cost. Here we show a new SOC that utilizes a very thin Gd-doped ceria (GDC)/yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) bi-layer electrolyte, Ni–YSZ cell support with enhanced porosity, and electrode surface modification using PrO x and GDC nanocatalysts to achieve unprecedented low ASR values < 0.1 Ω cm 2 , fuel cell power density ~3 W cm –2 , and electrolysis current density ~4 A cm –2 at 800 °C. Besides this exceptionally high performance, fuel cell and electrolysis life tests suggest very promising stability in fuel cell and steam electrolysis modes. Furthermore, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis done using a novel impedance subtraction method shows how rate-limiting electrode processes are impacted by the new SOC materials and design.

Tailored Solvent Treatment for Optimized Production of Upcycled Anodes from End-Of-Life Li-Ion Batteries

Recycling processes for lithium-ion batteries typically overlook graphite because of its lower market value relative to that of transition-metal-containing cathode materials. However, graphite recovered from cycled lithium-ion batteries holds additional engineered value associated with the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI). The SEI contributes critical electronic passivation of the graphite surface but becomes highly resistive with extended cycling, yielding poor cell performance. In this work, we apply tailored solvent treatment to end-of-life (EOL) graphite anodes to selectively remove adverse SEI components while retaining beneficially passivating species. We evaluate a series of polar protic solvents to achieve targeted removal of SEI components and control selectivity through rational variation in solvent properties. The physiochemical properties of treatment solvents correlate with both the retained SEI composition and the corresponding electrochemical performance of solvent-treated “upcycled” graphite anodes. Within the initial set of solvents evaluated, top-performing candidates show capacity and Coulombic efficiency nearly equivalent to those of an analogous pristine anode, as well as promising electrochemical performance enhancement with regard to irreversible capacity-loss metrics. This study establishes critical design principles for an optimized anode upcycling method that enhances the value of recycled graphite by retaining and upgrading the SEI.

Novel Technology of Non-Contact Real-Time Radiation Damage Sensor for High Power Targets

High-power proton beams planned for forthcoming long-baseline neutrino experiments will subject solid targets to unprecedented radiation damage, threatening reliability and increasing costs. To address this challenge, we are building a real-time, non-contact sensor that tracks damage by measuring broadband laser reflectivity changes from the target surface. A low-power super-continuum Class 3B laser illuminates the sample inside a vacuum test chamber while a high-resolution fiber-coupled spectrometer captures S- and P-polarized light; spectral shifts reveal defect-driven variations in optical constants. My internship goal is to design, build, and commission this prototype by implementing a laser-safety interlock and light shield, integrating remote-operation cameras, and fabricating modular 3-D-printed mounts that enable tool-free swaps without disturbing alignment. The laser, spectrometer, and vacuum chamber have been delivered; interlock hardware, cameras, and mounts are in final assembly, and leak testing of the chamber is underway. Upcoming work will focus on initial calibration of the sensor and executing first beam-irradiation studies.

Phase stability and magnetic and electronic properties of a spark plasma sintered CoFe – P soft magnetic alloy

More efficient power conversion devices are able to transmit greater electrical power across larger distances to satisfy growing global electrical needs. A critical requirement to achieve more efficient power conversion are the soft magnetic materials used as core materials in transformers, inductors, and motors. To that effect it is well known that the use of non-equilibrium microstructures, which are, for example, nanocrystalline or consist of single phase solid solutions, can yield high saturation magnetic polarization and high electrical resistivity necessary for more efficient soft magnetic materials. In this work, we synthesized CoFe – P soft magnetic alloys containing nanocrystalline, single phase solid solution microstructures and studied the effect of a secondary intermetallic phase on the saturation magnetic polarization and electrical resistivity of the consolidated alloy. Single phase solid solution CoFe – P alloys were prepared through mechanically alloying metal powders and phase decomposition was observed after subsequent consolidation via spark plasma sintering (SPS) at various temperatures. The secondary intermetallic phase was identified as the orthorhombic (Co x Fe 1-x ) 2 P phase and the magnetic properties of the (Co x Fe 1-x ) 2 P intermetallic phase were found to be detrimental to the soft magnetic properties of the targeted CoFe – P alloy.

Hypochlorite Redox Chemistry Enables High-Voltage and High-Power Saltwater Batteries

Saltwater batteries (SWBs) are promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries for large-scale stationary energy storage. However, the performance of conventional oxygen redox-based saltwater battery systems is often constrained by sluggish oxygen evolution and reduction reactions (OER/ORR) at the cathode, leading to low voltage efficiency and limited power density. Here, OER and ORR are replaced by hypochlorite-based redox reactions through the introduction of sodium hypochlorite into saltwater. Operando pH and dissolved oxygen measurements confirm that OER and ORR are minimized and that hypochlorite redox reactions dominate the cathode behavior. Owing to the higher operating potential and faster reaction kinetics, the hypochlorite-redox-based SWBs delivers a higher discharge voltage of 3.3 V and reduced charge-discharge voltage polarization to 0.66 V. Further improvement is achieved by adjusting the saltwater pH to near-neutral conditions, increasing the discharge voltage to 3.5 V and more than doubling the peak power. The hypochlorite redox environment also exhibits chemical stability with key cell components, including the solid electrolyte and cathode current collectors. Operation of series-connected cells and cells employing hard carbon anodes demonstrates scalability and compatibility with alternative anode materials. These results provide a strong foundation for next-generation SWBs targeting large-scale stationary energy storage applications.

Engineered selective biotoxin‐binding hydrogels for toxin sequestration

The development of synthetic selective membranes that separate materials of similar sizes, charges, and/or polarities remains a difficult challenge, and looking towards biology provides inspiration for new designs. In this work, a series of cholera toxin binding peptides (CTBPs) are identified, spanning a range of binding inhibitions, and integrated into chemically cross-linked cholera toxin binding gels (CTBGs) via thiol-Michael polycondensation reactions. All gels demonstrate rheological profiles consistent with elastic solids. The CTBGs are probed via small-angle neutron scattering and exhibit a correlation length, ξ, smaller than most proteins (1.3–2.5 nm). Thus, an effective entropic mesh is formed to block non-targeted proteins. However, the CTBGs have a dynamic mesh size, Ξ, that is larger than cholera toxin (CT) to allow the transport of target proteins. The CTBGs with the highest binding inhibitions both show high selectivity and permeation of CT, rejecting all other tested proteins. In total, two new highly selective CTBGs are synthesized and validated for use in cholera toxin remediation. Together, this platform demonstrates the wide applicability of selectively-diffusive materials for difficult separations.

Modifications of the X-ray source and monitor at the X-ray Calibration Facility

In order to test the instruments aboard the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility (AXAF) some modifications will need to be made in the X-ray Calibration Facility at Marshall. Several of these modifications involve the X-ray source and the monitor. The source was redesigned to increase the spectral purity of the beam and decrease its polarization by minimizing the number of bremsstrahlung photons in the beam. This was accomplished by utilizing an annular electron gun which allowed the beam to take off antiparallel to the direction at which electrons are incident on the anode. Two other features of the source are the conical anode which decreases the effective spot size and a rotatable anode and filter wheel which allow the operator to change targets without breaking vacuum. The monitor is an important part of the facility because it is used to determine the X-ray flux at the target. A commercially available solid-state detector, Si(Li), should be used along with appropriate proportional counters for monitoring. This detector will be particularly useful when energy or wavelength dispersive instruments are tested because of its good resolution.

Proton-Conducting Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells for Large-scale Hydrogen Production at Intermediate Temperatures

Proton-conducting electrolyte based SOECs offer potential for operation at low to intermediate temperatures. Although yttrium-doped barium zirconate (BZY) and ceria-doped barium zirconate (BCY) have conductivity of 0.01 and 0.017 S.cm -1 respectively at 650C in comparison to the conductivity of 0.015 S.cm -1 for 8-YSZ at 850°C, there remains technology gaps and research needs related to understanding of chemical and structural stability in oxidizing and/or reducing atmospheres at intermediate temperatures, material processing and densification techniques, high polarization losses, and electrode poisoning due to intrinsic and extrinsic gas phase contaminants. Synthesis methods have produced proton-conducting materials and cells that met degradation rate targets, showcasing stable hydrogen production. Improved performance was evident in the HSOEC cell, achieving higher hydrogen production at a lower operating temperature compared to standard cells. Collaborations with multiple research facilities ensured scaling up of synthesis processes and milestone achievements for large-scale manufacturing. Assessment of contaminants revealed their adverse effects on electrode performance and structural stability. Contaminants like Cr and Si compounds, in high humidity, degraded electrodes by forming stable silicate and chromates, inhibiting active surface reactions. Getter materials showed promise in capturing contaminants, suggesting potential for mitigation.

The X-Ray Emission Effectiveness of Plasma Mirrors: Reexamining Power-Law Scaling for Relativistic High-Order Harmonic Generation

Ultrashort pulsed lasers provide uniquely detailed access to the ultrafast dynamics of physical, chemical, and biological systems, but only a handful of wavelengths are directly produced by solid-state lasers, necessitating efficient high-power frequency conversion. Relativistic plasma mirrors generate broadband power-law spectra, that may span the gap between petawatt-class infrared laser facilities and x-ray free-electron lasers; despite substantial theoretical work the ultimate efficiency of this relativistic high-order-harmonic generation remains unclear. We show that the coherent radiation emitted by plasma mirrors follows a power-law distribution of energy over frequency with an exponent that, even in the ultrarelativistic limit, strongly depends on the ratio of laser intensity to plasma density and exceeds the frequently quoted value of -8/3 over a wide range of parameters. The coherent synchrotron emission model, when adequately corrected for the finite width of emitting electron bunches, is not just valid for p-polarized light and thin foil targets, but generally describes relativistic harmonic generation, including at normal incidence and with finite-gradient plasmas. Our numerical results support the ω-4/3 scaling of the synchrotron emission model as a limiting efficiency of the process under most conditions. The highest frequencies that can be generated with this scaling are usually restricted by the width of the emitting electron bunch rather than the Lorentz factor of the fastest electrons. The theoretical scaling relations developed here suggest, for example, that with a 20-PW 800-nm driving laser, 1 TW/harmonic can be produced for 1-keV photons.

Proposal for broad-range directional detection of light dark matter in cryogenic ice

We propose hexagonal ice (H 2 ⁡O) as a new target for light dark matter (DM) direct detection. Ice, a polar material, is suitable for single phonon detection through DM scattering for which we consider light dark photon and light scalar mediator models. We report a rate sensitivity down to a DM mass of ~keV, constituting a broader mass range than other promising candidates. We find better sensitivity for near-term experimental thresholds from the presence of high-frequency phonons. These advantages, and ice’s availability, make it highly promising for single-phonon detection.

Quantum nanophotonic interface for tin-vacancy centers in thin-film diamond

The negatively charged tin-vacancy center in diamond (SnV − ) is an excellent solid state qubit with optically-addressable transitions and a long electron spin coherence time at elevated (∼1.7 K). However, implementing scalable quantum nodes with high-fidelity optical readout of the electron spin state requires efficient photon emission and collection from the system. Here, in this manuscript, we report a quantum photonic interface for SnV−centers based on one-dimensional photonic crystal cavities fabricated in diamond thin films. Furthermore, we provide a rigorous description of the spontaneous emission dynamics of our system, taking into account individual contributions from both the C and D transitions of the emitter. This allows for determination of Purcell factors per transition and, by extension, the C/D branching ratio SnV− zero phonon line. We observe quality factors up to ~6000 across this sample, and measure up to a 12-fold lifetime reduction, which translates into a Purcell factor of 𝐹 𝐶 =26.2±1.5 for a targeted C transition. By considering the cavity mode polarization alignment with the C and D transition dipole moments, we validate the C/D branching ratio to be 𝜂 BR =0.75±0.01, in line with previous theoretical and experimental findings.

Exploring the Nucleon Structure via Deep Electroproduction Processes

Understanding the internal structure of the nucleon is a fundamental goal of modern physics, which aims at a comprehensive framework describing the internal dynamics of quarks and gluons. Among other structure functions, Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) offer a powerful framework for describing the nucleon dynamics by correlating the longitudinal momentum and the transverse position of its internal partons. Such a correlation provides a three-dimensional picture of the nucleon and enables access to fundamental properties, including the internal pressure distributions and the parton’s angular momentum contribution to the nucleon's total spin, thereby playing a central role in resolving the nucleon spin puzzle. At the Thomas Jefferson National Facility (JLab), polarized electron beam experiments allow for probing GPDs through the measurement of hard exclusive processes. Among the cleanest experimental channels, we find the electro-production of a real photon through the Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) mechanism. The first data-taking period of the CLAS12 program, taking place in 2018, allowed for unique DVCS Beam Spin Asymmetry (BSA) measurements in the phase space covered by a 10.6 GeV polarized electron beam impinging on an unpolarized liquid hydrogen target. Although detecting all final-state particles ensures exclusivity of the process, conservation laws indicate that it is not mandatory. I adopt an approach omitting the direct detection of the recoil proton, providing a simplified yet effective event selection strategy that boosts statistics and gives access to a larger phase space sensitive to the underlying GPD dynamics through BSA and cross section measurements. The Double DVCS (DDVCS) process promises a dedicated mapping of GPDs. Contributing to the electro-production of a lepton pair cross-section, the DDVCS reaction extends DVCS by allowing the final-state photon to be virtual, enriching the kinematic phase space and providing unique access to the internal correlations encoded by GPDs. A feasibility study is conducted to assess the potential of future DDVCS measurements at Jefferson Lab and the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). While Jefferson Lab will provide DDVCS measurements in the valence region through the SoLID$\mu$ and $\mu$CLAS12 experimental projects, in the long term, the EIC will provide complementary measurements in the sea region, both accessing unprecedented information about GPDs in a phase space region otherwise inaccessible. Taken together, these investigations demonstrate both the current capabilities and future opportunities for probing GPDs through exclusive processes. The experimental analysis of DVCS at CLAS12 provides precise measurements within an established framework, while the phenomenological study of DDVCS opens the door to richer and more comprehensive explorations with future detectors and facilities.
