Resummation for lattice QCD calculation of generalized parton distributions at nonzero skewness

Large-momentum effective theory (LaMET) provides an approach to directly calculate the x-dependence of generalized parton distributions (GPDs) on a Euclidean lattice through power expansion and a perturbative matching. When a parton’s momentum becomes soft, the corresponding logarithms in the matching kernel become non-negligible at higher orders of perturbation theory, which requires a resummation. But the resummation for the off-forward matrix elements at nonzero skewness ξ is difficult due to their multi-scale nature. In this work, we demonstrate that these logarithms are important only in the threshold limit, and derive the threshold factorization formula for the quasi-GPDs in LaMET. We then propose an approach to resum all the large logarithms based on the threshold factorization, which is implemented on a GPD model. We demonstrate that the LaMET prediction is reliable for [−1 + x 0 , −ξ − x 0 ] ∪ [−ξ + x 0 , ξ − x 0 ] ∪ [ξ + x 0 , 1 − x 0 ], where x 0 is a cutoff depending on hard parton momenta. Through our numerical tests with the GPD model, we demonstrate that our method is self-consistent and that the inverse matching does not spread the nonperturbative effects or power corrections to the perturbatively calculable regions.

CHEQUP v0.1

CHEQUP (Castro-based Hofi Expansion with QUasineutral Plasma) is a simulation code for modeling the formation of hydrodynamic optical-field-ionized (HOFI) plasma channels, which are used as waveguides in laser-plasma acceleration experiments. This includes experiments performed at LBNL's BELLA facility as well as other laser facilities across the world. CHEQUP extends the open-source Castro hydrodynamics framework with physics modules tailored for modeling HOFI plasma channels -- including multi-species ionization and three-body recombination for mixtures of hydrogen, nitrogen, helium, and argon ; a two-temperature model tracking electron and heavy-species temperatures separately ; and coupling with other codes of the BLAST ecosystem (https://blast.lbl.gov/) such as WarpX, via the openPMD standard. CHEQUP inherits from Castro the ability to run on modern GPU architectures (NVIDIA CUDA, AMD HIP) and supports adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) for efficient multi-scale resolution. Compared to existing tools, CHEQUP would be, to our knowledge, the first open-source code implementing the full HOFI channel formation physics, and the first implementation capable of running on GPUs. This enables significantly faster, large-scale parameter scans critical for the design of next-generation LPA-based accelerators and light sources.

Microscopy X-ray imaging enriched with small angle X-ray scattering for few nanometer resolution reveals shock waves and compression in intense short pulse laser irradiation of solids

Understanding how laser pulses compress solids into high-energy-density states requires diagnostics that simultaneously resolve macroscopic geometry and nanometer-scale structure. Here we present a combined X-ray imaging (XRM) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) approach that bridges this diagnostic gap. Using the Matter in Extreme Conditions end station at LCLS, we irradiated 25 μm copper wires with 45 fs, 0.9 J, 800 nm pulses at 3.5 × 10 19 W/cm 2 while probing with 8.2 keV XFEL pulses. XRM visualizes the evolution of ablation, compression, and inward-propagating fronts with ∼ 200 nm resolution, while SAXS quantifies their nanometer-scale sharpness via the time-resolved evolution of scattering streaks. The joint analysis reveals that an initially smooth compression steepens into a nanometer-sharp shock front after t sh ≈ (18 ± 3) ps, consistent with an analytical steepening model and hydrodynamic simulations. The front reaches a velocity of c sh ≈ 25 k m / s and a lateral width of several tens of microns, demonstrating direct observation of shock formation and decay at solid density for the first time with few-nanometer precision. This integrated XRM–SAXS method establishes a quantitative, multi-scale diagnostic of laser-driven shocks in dense plasmas relevant to inertial confinement fusion, warm dense matter, and planetary physics.

Group-Additivity–Embedded Multiscale Modeling for Electric Field-Enhanced Nanocatalysis

Elucidating structure-performance relationships remains a central challenge in field-enhanced catalysis, where nanoparticles exhibit nonuniform surface sites with site-dependent responses to electric fields. Low-coordination sites (edges, corners, and tips) are particularly electric field-sensitive (EF), leading to nonuniform charge distribution, adsorption energies, and catalytic activity. Here, using ammonia decomposition on a ruthenium cluster as a model system, we develop a transferable multiscale framework integrating density functional theory, group additivity (GA), Brønsted-Evans-Polanyi scaling, and microkinetic modeling to predict EF-dependent activity across nonuniform cluster sites. Across sites and fields, the nitrogen adsorption energy (E N ) emerges as the governing descriptor, yielding robust volcano relationships whose optimum shifts systematically with field: negative fields strengthen N binding via electron accumulation, while positive fields weaken N binding via charge depletion, moving the optimal E N toward weaker binding. Microkinetic analysis shows that N≡N bond formation remains the key kinetic bottleneck over most conditions; positive fields lower the effective barrier and, critically, increase the fraction of near-optimal active sites, leading to a net enhancement in overall activity relative to zero-field and negative-field cases. By capturing EF- and site-dependent energetics with high accuracy and low computational cost, this GA-embedded multi-scale simulation workflow provides a physically interpretable route to predict and design field-enhanced nanocatalysis.

Multi-scale computational screening and mechanistic insights of cyclic amines as solvents for improved lignocellulosic biomass processing

A computational screening workflow for the efficient deconstruction of cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose fractions of lignocellulosic biomass using cyclic amines as solvents. Lignocellulosic biomass is a promising feedstock for production of affordable fuels and chemicals from renewable resources. Effective solubilization and subsequent deconstruction of its cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin fractions is essential for the viability of future biorefineries. This study used quantum chemistry-based equilibrium thermodynamics methods to evaluate the potential of 650 cyclic amines to solubilize cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. The activity coefficients of solvent - biopolymer interactions were predicted using the COSMO-RS (COnductor-like Screening MOdel for Real Solvents) method and used to identify cyclic amines that can efficiently dissolve and extract selective fractions of biopolymers during biomass pretreatment. Among the 650 cyclic amines, 1-piperazineethanmaine was predicted to be an effective solvent for extracting all three polymers and was experimentally shown to achieve the highest lignin removal (97.1%). Non-covalent interaction, reduced density gradient and quantum chemical calculations were performed to elucidate the dissolution mechanism of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose and gain further molecular level insights into the interactions between the cyclic amines and biomass polymers that promote efficient solubilization and extraction. These analyses indicated that 1-piperazineethanmaine and 1-methylimidazole make noncovalent van der Waals, electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding with lignin, leading to enhanced lignin removal, while the strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding interactions in cellulose and hemicellulose result in weaker solvent-biopolymer interactions. Overall, the computational approach provided an efficient method for identifying cyclic amines tailored for optimal biomass pretreatment and resulted in the identification of a potential new class of solvents for effective biomass pretreatment.

In-Situ Process Monitoring Evaluation and Demonstration using Advanced Characterization with Laser Powder Bed Systems

Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s (ORNL) Manufacturing Demonstration Facility (MDF) worked with EOS Group to evaluate the current in-situ sensor capabilities of an EOS M290 Laser Powder Bed Fusion machine. The M290 was fitted with a 1 Mega-Pixel (MP) grayscale visible-light camera and a 5 MP temporally integrated (TI) near-infrared (NIR) camera. One print from stainless steel (SS) 316 and two from Inconel 625 (IN625) were performed where data including in-situ imaging and a machine log file were captured. These data were subsequently analyzed using a Dynamic Multi-Scale Segmentation Convolutional Neural Network (DMSCNN) trained on user defined classes and correlated to as-printed flaws, in the form of porosity, discovered in X-Ray Computed Tomography (XCT). In Phase I, two indications were detected in-situ and spatially correlated to stochastic lack-of-fusion flaws discovered using XCT. In Phase II, using these links from in-situ signatures to XCT flaw populations, a second neural network (NN) was trained to create a Voxelized Property Prediction Model (VPPM) to predict porosity percentages within the part using only features garnered from the in-situ data from two IN625 complex geometries. The VPPM was able to accurately predict porosity values for IN625 parts with an R 2 value of 0.764.

Influence of pre-existing defects on thermal transport in nuclear graphite

Nuclear graphite is a critical material in high-temperature nuclear reactors due to its superior thermal and mechanical properties. The manufacturing process leaves multi-scale ‘pre-existing’ defects that can affect thermal transport characteristics. Because these defects are remnant of graphitization temperature, they cannot be thermally annealed. This study employs a non-thermal electron wind force (EWF) annealing technique to avoid this obstacle. 2 min of EWF treatment of the as-received graphite IG-110 at temperatures below 100 °C led up to 67% increase in thermal diffusivity and ~ 35% decrease in electrical resistivity in average. Differential scanning calorimetry also showed similar outcome for specific heat. X-ray diffraction characterization was performed by fitting a bi-modal crystallite size distribution model to reveal the enhancement in crystallinity after the EWF treatment. The findings emphasize the potential of EWF annealing for optimizing thermal performance in nuclear graphite and its implications for reactor efficiency and safety.

Estimating an executive summary of a time series: the tendency

In this paper, we revisit the problem of decomposing a signal into a tendency and a residual. The tendency describes an executive summary of a signal that encapsulates its notable characteristics while disregarding seemingly random, less interesting aspects. Building upon the Intrinsic Time Decomposition (ITD) and information-theoretical analysis, we introduce two alternative procedures for selecting the tendency from the ITD baselines. The first is based on the maximum extrema prominence, namely the maximum difference between extrema within each baseline. Specifically this method selects the tendency as the baseline from which an ITD step would produce the largest decline of the maximum prominence. The second method uses the rotations from the ITD and selects the tendency as the last baseline for which the associated rotation is statistically stationary. We delve into a comparative analysis of the information content and interpretability of the tendencies obtained by our proposed methods and those obtained through conventional low-pass filtering schemes, particularly the Hodrik–Prescott (HP) filter. Our findings underscore a fundamental distinction in the nature and interpretability of these tendencies, highlighting their context-dependent utility with emphasis in multi-scale signals. Through a series of real-world applications, we demonstrate the computational robustness and practical utility of our proposed tendencies, emphasizing their adaptability and relevance in diverse time series contexts.

SAM Finite Volume Method Development Status Update: GCR Application, Restart, and MultiApp

The System Analysis Module (SAM) is being developed as a modern system analysis code for advanced non-light-water-reactor safety analysis under the U.S. DOE NEAMS program. Previous feasibility studies have demonstrated that a staggered-grid finite volume method (SG-FVM), implemented under the MOOSE framework, can deliver more than an order of magnitude speedup over the existing continuous Galerkin finite element method (CG-FEM) solver for liquid-cooled, incompressible but thermally expandable flow systems. This work extends the previous effort to compressible, gas-cooled reactor applications, where pressure couples directly into the mass equation adding additional nonlinearity into the equation system. New code capabilities are implemented for pebble bed high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (PB-HTGR) analysis, including a pebble bed CoreChannel component, built-in pebble bed effective thermal conductivity model and channel-to-channel crossflow model. The capabilities are tested, benchmarked, and demonstrated for problems with increased level of model and physical complexities, including the HTTU effective thermal conductivity test, the SANA passive cooling test, and a demonstration case using the GPBR200 reactor design covering steady-state operation, DLOFC and PLOFC transients. Across all cases, the SG-FVM solver demonstrated strong robustness and efficiency, and the solutions agree well with reference results and data. The finding of this work proves that SG-FVM is a viable and efficient solver pathway for compressible, gas-cooled reactor system analysis in SAM. In addition, work has been done to successfully support SAM-FVM recover/restart code feature that is essential to reactor safety analysis applications, and MultiApp code feature that is essential to multi-scale and multi-physics simulations. In summary, this work continued from previous feasibility studies, and further demonstrated that the SG-FVM will serve as a strong foundation for SAM’s advanced solver algorithm for future deployment.

PIE-Enabled Study of Aqueous Corrosion & Zr Hydriding in Cr-Coated Cladding: M3GV-23PN0101132

Chromium-coated zirconium alloy cladding is under investigation as an accident-tolerant fuel (ATF) concept to extend performance to higher burnups via improved oxidation resistance and reduced hydrogen pickup. However, hydrothermal corrosion behavior and hydrogen transport mechanisms governing in-service hydriding of these coatings remain poorly understood. In a collaborative study between Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), Idaho National Laboratory (INL), and the University of Huddersfield, cold spray (CS) and physical vapor deposition (PVD) Cr-coated Optimized ZIRLO™ cladding samples were characterized after exposure to PWR-simulated water chemistry under both in-core (neutron irradiation) and out-of-core (aqueous-only) conditions at the MIT Research Reactor. Multi-scale characterization was performed independently at PNNL and INL to evaluate coating integrity, microstructural evolution, Cr/Zr interface chemistry, and hydride formation. Both laboratories observed a consistent divergence in hydriding behavior: out-of-core CS Cr-coated cladding exhibited elevated hydride concentrations exceeding those of uncoated cladding, whereas in-core CS samples showed substantially suppressed hydriding. In-core specimens also displayed irradiation-specific features, including nanoscale voids within the Cr coating and radiation-induced segregation clusters in the Zr substrate. CS coatings retained an interdiffusion-free Cr/Zr bond with no intermetallic layer, whereas PVD coatings exhibited inferior quality with visible cracks and pores. An automated image-based hydride quantification method systematically overestimated bulk hydrogen content relative to inert gas fusion measurements, underscoring the need for standardized sample preparation and reference standards. Interpretation of hydride nucleation and growth is complicated by the open inner-diameter of the specimens, which provides additional hydrogen pathways. The results motivate further foundational studies to support predictive models of hydrothermal corrosion and hydrogen transport in unirradiated and irradiated Cr-coated cladding.

Graph-Based Modeling and Decomposition of Hierarchical Optimization Problems

We present a graph-theoretic modeling approach for hierarchical optimization that leverages the OptiGraph abstraction implemented in the Julia package Plasmo.jl. We show that the abstraction is flexible and can effectively capture complex hierarchical connectivity that arises from decision-making over multiple spatial and temporal scales (e.g., integration of planning, scheduling, and operations in manufacturing and infrastructures). We also show that the graph abstraction facilitates the conceptualization and implementation of decomposition and approximation schemes. Specifically, we propose a graph-based Benders decomposition (gBD) framework that enables the exploitation of hierarchical (nested) structures and that uses graph aggregation/partitioning procedures to discover such structures. In addition, we provide a Julia implementation of gBD, which we call PlasmoBenders.jl. We illustrate the capabilities using examples arising in the context of energy and power systems.

Multi-scale structural analysis of swift heavy ion-irradiated ZrO 2 and HfO 2

The radiation-induced monoclinic-to-tetragonal phase transition in ZrO 2 and HfO 2 has been the subject of many investigations, but the transformation pathways and underlying structural mechanisms are still not well understood. In this study, microcrystalline powder samples of ZrO 2 and HfO 2 were irradiated with 946 MeV and 1470 MeV Au ions to a wide fluence range up to 3 × 10 13 ions/cm 2 . To characterize beam-induced structural modifications across all spatial length scales, complementary experimental techniques such as synchrotron X-ray diffraction and spallation neutron total scattering were used. The phase evolution of the tetragonal polymorph with increasing ion fluence is accurately described by a heterogeneous track-overlap model that incorporates both direct- and double-impact processes. These damage accumulation processes are an expression of a core-shell ion track morphology that depends on irradiation conditions and target material. Neutron pair distribution function analysis revealed that ion-beam-induced tetragonal ZrO 2 is merely a configurational average of short-range orthorhombic (Pbcn) domains stabilized by a dense network of domain walls. Furthermore, this knowledge is critical for a better understanding of how crystalline-to-crystalline phase transformations proceed at the atomic scale under extreme conditions.

Multi-scale Interaction Mechanism for Edge-Localized-Mode Suppression in the Tokamak Edge

A central challenge in fusion energy is reconciling the high-confinement mode required for reactor performance with the intense intermittent relaxation events it produces, known as edge-localized modes. These instabilities arise in the steep pressure pedestal at the plasma edge when magnetohydrodynamic thresholds are crossed, inflicting damaging heat loads on reactor components. Here, we show that multiscale interactions between microscopic turbulence and macroscopic magnetohydrodynamic modes provide encouraging prospects for self-organized edge-localized modes regulation. Using direct quantitative measurements of multiscale modes, eddy dynamics, and turbulent flux, we show that small-scale electron drift wave turbulence actively scatters the large-scale peeling-ballooning modes. This scattering decorrelates the pressure and velocity fields of the instability, so arresting its growth. Our modeling and theoretical analysis confirm this suppression mechanism is effective even when conventional linear stability thresholds are exceeded. This work establishes a nonlinear principle for edge-localized modes stability, revealing how ambient micro-turbulence can be leveraged to maintain a macro-stable, high-performance pedestal for future fusion reactors.

Repetitive proteins that undergo large conformational changes evade structural prediction algorithms

Protein structure prediction algorithms, such as AlphaFold, have accelerated protein design and advanced the understanding of the relationship between amino acid sequence and protein structure. However, these algorithms are limited in their ability to predict the structures of conformationally dynamic, intrinsically disordered, and stimuli-responsive proteins. To evaluate sequence-to-structure predictions of such challenging proteins, we explored a class of conformationally dynamic, repeats-in-toxin (RTX) proteins. RTX proteins adopt intrinsically disordered conformations in the absence of calcium and undergo reversible folding into β-roll structures upon binding to calcium. RTX proteins are characterized by tandem repeats of the sequence GGXGXDXUX, in which X can be any amino acid and U is an aliphatic amino acid. We designed RTX sequence variants with global substitutions of nonconserved amino acids, tandem repeats of consensus sequences GGAGXDTLY, and tandem repeats of scrambled sequences GGAGXDTYL. AlphaFold2 and AlphaFold3 predicted that all of these RTX variants adopt β-roll structures, characteristic of wild-type RTX bound to calcium. However, modeling the predicted structures with molecular dynamics simulations and characterizing the protein variants with circular dichroism spectroscopy, small-angle x-ray scattering, and x-ray crystallography revealed that variants adopt diverse, sequence-dependent structures in the absence and presence of calcium. To better design proteins for applications in biotechnology and sustainability, it is critical to build predictive tools that consider intrinsically disordered protein states and validate these tools with multi-mode, multi-scale experimental data.

A critical review on additive manufacturing of refractory alloys from a data analytics perspective- beyond nickel-based superalloys

Refractory alloys (RAs) are promising materials due to their exceptional physicochemical properties, but most research remains at the laboratory scale. For broader adoption, advancements in manufacturing are essential. Because their high stability makes conventional methods like machining and casting difficult, additive manufacturing (AM) is emerging as an effective approach for fabricating refractory alloy components. However, AM's repeated non-equilibrium thermal cycles introduce undesired features (e.g. defects, anisotropic microstructures, and residual stresses), which are magnified due to RAs’ unique properties. This paper comprehensively reviews the state-of-the-art methods of AM for refractory alloys. It explores data analytics techniques to establish design rules based on multi-fidelity experimental and computational methods. Furthermore, it investigates integrated, collaborative efforts to harmonise standalone databases, information, knowledge, and predictive models at multi-physics, multi-stage, and multi-scale. Unlike the existing literature that focuses primarily on material systems or process fundamentals, this work provides an integrated perspective on AM of refractory alloys from a data analytics standpoint, highlighting the roles of integrated computational materials engineering (ICME), verification, validation, and uncertainty quantification (VV&UQ), and digital twin-driven qualification in overcoming data scarcity and accelerating rapid qualification.

Fine-scale vegetation composition and structure shape spatiotemporal variation in surface albedo across a low Arctic tundra landscape

The unprecedented rate of warming in the Arctic is driving changes in the structure and composition of tundra vegetation. Increases in deciduous tall shrub cover, height, and density are of particular concern, as these changes alter local surface albedo in ways that could amplify effects on the regional surface energy budget (SEB). Despite this importance, significant uncertainties remain in understanding the interplay between fine-scale vegetation patterns and emergent albedo dynamics across space and time. Here, we address these uncertainties by (1) quantifying spatiotemporal variation in surface shortwave albedo and (2) determining the relative influence of fine-scale vegetation composition, structure, and environmental conditions on albedo across a representative low-Arctic tundra landscape on Alaska’s Seward Peninsula. To do this, we synthesized multi-scale, multi-platform remote sensing observations, including a novel Landsat-derived albedo time series, a fine-scale map of Arctic plant functional type (PFT) fractional cover, and airborne LiDAR estimates of canopy height and topography. We show that there are substantial reductions in winter albedo for pixels dominated by tall, woody PFTs (28.13%) relative to pixels dominated by non-woody vegetation, but almost no change in summer albedo (3% increase). Further, we identified a unimodal trend in the relationship between canopy height and the timing of the springtime transition from high (snowy) to low (leafy) albedo (peak at 5.5 m), possibly because of competing ‘snow-fence’ and ‘protrusion’ snow-shrub interactions. To explore the primary drivers of albedo, we constructed a random forest model and found that canopy height and the fractional cover of woody PFTs were as- or more important predictors of winter albedo than topographic features. These findings provide strong evidence for the impacts of local vegetation characteristics on regional surface albedo, highlighting the need for better quantification of snow-shrub interactions to accurately predict the Arctic’s SEB under future environmental change.
