Radial diffusion models of energetic electrons and Jupiter's synchrotron radiation. 2: Time variability

We used a radial diffusion code for energetic electrons in Jupiter's magnetosphere to investigate variations in Jupiter's radio emission due to changes in the electron phase space density at L shells between 6 and 50, and due to changes in the radial diffusion parameters. We suggest that the observed variations in Jupiter's radio emission are likely caused by changes in the electron phase space density at some boundary L(sub 1) is greater than 6, if the primary mode of transport of energetic electrons is radial diffusion driven by fluctuating electric and/or magnetic fields induced by upper atmospheric turbulence. We noticed an excellent empirical correlation, both in phase and relative amplitude, between changes in the solar wind ram pressure and Jupiter's synchrotron radiation if the electron phase space density at the boundary L(sub 1) (L(sub 1) is approximately equal to 20-50) varies linearly with the square root of the solar wind ram pressure, f is approximately (N(sub s)nu(exp 2 sub s))(exp 1/2). The calculations were carried out with a diffusion coefficient D(sub LL) = D(sub n)L(exp n) with n = 3. The diffusion coefficient which best fit the observed variations in Jupiter's synchrotron radiation D(sub 3) = 1.3 +/- 0.2 x 10(exp -9)/s is approximately 0.041/yr, which corresponds to a lagtime of approximately 2 years. We further show that the observed short term (days-weeks) variations in Jupiter's radio emission cannot be explained adequately when radial diffusion is taken into account.

An active role of the amyloplasts and nuclei of root statocytes in graviperception

Three main phases are discerned in the gravitropic reaction: perception of a gravitational stimulus, its transduction, and fixation of the reaction resulting in bending of an organ. According to the starch-statolith hypothesis of Nemec and Haberlandt, amyloplasts in the structurally and functionally specialized graviperceptive cells (statocytes) sediment in the direction of a gravitational vector in the distal part of a cell while a nucleus is in the proximal one. If amyloplasts appear to act as gravity sensors, the receptors, which interact with sedimented amyloplasts, and next signaling are still unclear. An analysis of the structural-functional organization of cells in different root cap layers of such higher plants as pea, Arabidopsis thaliana, and Brassica rapa grown under 1 g, on the clinostats, and in microgravity, allows us to support the hypothesis that amyloplasts function as statoliths in statocytes, but they may not be only the passive statolithic mass. We propose that amyloplasts fulfill a more complex function by interacting with a receptor, which is a nucleus, in transduction of some signal to it. Gravity-induced statolith movement in certain order leads to a new functional connection between gravity susceptors--amyloplasts and a receptor--a nucleus receiving some signal presumedly of a mechanical or biochemical nature from the amyloplasts. During gravitropism, sugar signaling could induce expression of genes encoding auxin transport proteins in a nucleus giving the nucleus an intermediate role in signal trunsduction following perception. c 2001 COSPAR.

Recent material data indicated 5” thick 2219-T87 plate stock had very low ductility (<1%) in the short transverse direction at the half-thickness location. Metallurgical analysis performed to understand the root cause that led to the drastic reduction in tensile ductility. The PowerPoint report details the key findings from material analysis by optical and scanning electron microscopy.

Logic Design Pathology and Space Flight Electronics

Logic design errors have been observed in space flight missions and the final stages of ground test. The technologies used by designers and their design/analysis methodologies will be analyzed. This will give insight to the root causes of the failures. These technologies include discrete integrated circuit based systems, systems based on field and mask programmable logic, and the use computer aided engineering (CAE) systems. State-of-the-art (SOTA) design tools and methodologies will be analyzed with respect to high-reliability spacecraft design and potential pitfalls are discussed. Case studies of faults from large expensive programs to "smaller, faster, cheaper" missions will be used to explore the fundamental reasons for logic design problems.

Simulations Supporting the Development of Northstar's Indirect Beam Parameters Monitoring System

NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes, LLC is planning to produce the important medical radioisotope molybdenum-99 (Mo-99), the parent of technetium-99m (Tc-99m), through photonuclear reactions in molybdenum-100 (Mo-100). In this approach, a target comprising multiple thin disks of enriched molybdenum metal is bombarded with a 40-MeV electron beam. Electrons impinged on the molybdenum target produce bremsstrahlung X-rays that cause the nuclear reaction. Because enriched Mo-100 is expensive, there is a desire to utilize as much beam power as possible to achieve maximum production yield and minimize the size of the target. This requirement leads to very high beam power density (and heat deposition in the target), which creates challenging requirements for the cooling of the target. The critical part of the target is the target window. It separates the high-pressure helium cooled target from the vacuum beamline and the subject of structural and thermal stress. The temperature of the target window is proportional to the energy density deposited by the beam, so it is critical to maintain the desired beam profile on the target window. The feasibility of indirectly monitoring the maximum energy density of the beam on the beam window through beam losses at the main collimator (Collimator) before the production target was verified. A model of the NorthStar beam transport line was constructed for this purpose using MAD-X and Tao/Bmad codes. Beam optics were computed for the standard operational scenario, followed by an investigation involving approximately 400 cases with parameter variations in the last tuning quadrupoles. This was done to assess the correlation between losses in the collimator and the peak energy density on the target. We developed a model to explore the potential application of Optical transition radiation (OTR) for controlling beam parameters in the NorthStar beam delivery system. This model was based on a generic formula derived from the fundamental solution of the inhomogeneous wave equation of the vector potential, and allowed us to consider various surfaces, even those with irregular or random features, using numerical integration. We applied the model to OTR generated by relativistic electrons impacting an Inconel® 718 beam window. We examined cases with different levels of the window’s surface roughness, ranging from 0.5 to 3.0 microns of root square mean (RMS) deviation. The results of the OTR simulations provided distributions of OTR photons that can be used to study the limitations of optical systems for controlling beam parameters.

The Ionosphere and Ocean Altimetry

The accuracy of satellite-based single-frequency radar ocean altimeters benefits from calibration of the total electron content (TEC) of the ionosphere below the satellite. Data from the global network of Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers provides timely, continuous, and globally well-distributed measurements of ionospheric electron content. We have created a daily automated process called Daily Global Ionospheric Map (Daily-GIM) whose primary purpose is to use global GPS data to provide ionospheric calibration data for the Geosat Follow-On (GFO) ocean altimeter. This process also produces an hourly time-series of global maps of the electron content of the ionosphere. This system is designed to deliver "quick-look" ionospheric calibrations within 24 hours with 90+% reliability and with a root-mean-square accuracy of 2 cm at 13.6 GHz. In addition we produce a second product within 72 hours which takes advantage of additional GPS data which were not available in time for the first process. The diagram shows an example of a comparison between TEC data from the Topographic Experiment (TOPEX) ocean altimeter and Daily-GIM. TEC are displayed in TEC units, TECU, where 5 TECU is 1 cm at 13.6 GHz. Data from a single TOPEX track is shown. Also shown is the Bent climatological model TEC for the track. Although the GFO satellite is not yet in its operational mode, we have been running Daily-GIM reliably (much better than 90%) with better than 2-cm accuracy (based on comparisons against TOPEX) for several months. When timely ephemeris files for the European Remote Sensing Satellite 2 (ERS-2) are available, daily ERS-2 altimeter ionospheric calibration files are produced. When GFO ephemeris files are made available to us, we produce GFO ionosphere calibration files. Users of these GFO ionosphere calibration files find they are a great improvement over the alternative International Reference Ionosphere 1995 (IRI-95) climatological model. In addition, the TOPEX orbit determination team at JPL has been using the global ionospheric maps to calibrate the single frequency GPS data from the TOPEX receiver, and report highly significant improvements in the ephemeris. The global ionospheric maps are delivered daily to the International GPS Service (IGS), making them available to the scientific community. Additional information is contained in the original.

An Ab Initio Based Potential Energy Surface for Water

We report a new determination of the water potential energy surface. A high quality ab initio potential energy surface (PES) and dipole moment function of water have been computed. This PES is empirically adjusted to improve the agreement between the computed line positions and those from the HITRAN 92 data base. The adjustment is small, nonetheless including an estimate of core (oxygen 1s) electron correlation greatly improves the agreement with experiment. Of the 27,245 assigned transitions in the HITRAN 92 data base for H2(O-16), the overall root mean square (rms) deviation between the computed and observed line positions is 0.125/cm. However the deviations do not correspond to a normal distribution: 69% of the lines have errors less than 0.05/cm. Overall, the agreement between the line intensities computed in the present work and those contained in the data base is quite good, however there are a significant number of line strengths which differ greatly.

A morphometric analysis of cellular differentiation in caps of primary and lateral roots of Helianthus annuus

In order to determine if patterns of cell differentiation are similar in primary and lateral roots, I performed a morphometric analysis of the ultrastructure of calyptrogen, columella, and peripheral cells in primary and lateral roots of Helianthus annuus. Each cell type is characterized by a unique ultrastructure, and the ultrastructural changes characteristic of cellular differentiation in root caps are organelle specific. No major structural differences exist in the structures of the composite cell types, or in patterns of cell differentiation in caps of primary vs. lateral roots.

Overview of the TCV tokamak program: Scientific progress and facility upgrades

The TCV tokamak is augmenting its unique historical capabilities (strong shaping, strong electron heating) with ion heating, additional electron heating compatible with high densities, and variable divertor geometry, in a multifaceted upgrade program designed to broaden its operational range without sacrificing its fundamental flexibility. The TCV program is rooted in a three-pronged approach aimed at ITER support, explorations towards DEMO, and fundamental research. A 1 MW, tangential neutral beam injector (NBI) was recently installed and promptly extended the TCV parameter range, with record ion temperatures and toroidal rotation velocities and measurable neutral-beam current drive. ITER-relevant scenario development has received particular attention, with strategies aimed at maximizing performance through optimized discharge trajectories to avoid MHD instabilities, such as peeling-ballooning and neoclassical tearing modes. Experiments on exhaust physics have focused particularly on detachment, a necessary step to a DEMO reactor, in a comprehensive set of conventional and advanced divertor concepts. The specific theoretical prediction of an enhanced radiation region between the two X-points in the low-field-side snowflake-minus configuration was experimentally confirmed. Fundamental investigations of the power decay length in the scrape-off layer (SOL) are progressing rapidly, again in widely varying configurations and in both D and He plasmas; in particular, the double decay length in L-mode limited plasmas was found to be replaced by a single length at high SOL resistivity. Experiments on disruption mitigation by massive gas injection and electron-cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) have begun in earnest, in parallel with studies of runaway electron generation and control, in both stable and disruptive conditions; a quiescent runaway beam carrying the entire electrical current appears to develop in some cases. Developments in plasma control have benefited from progress in individual controller design and have evolved steadily towards controller integration, mostly within an environment supervised by a tokamak profile control simulator. TCV has demonstrated effective wall conditioning with ECRH in He in support of the preparations for JT-60SA operation.

Hardware-in-the-Loop Testbed for Cyber-Physical Security of Photovoltaic Farms

In the last decades, modem grids with distributed energy resources, such as photovoltaic (PV) farms, are increasingly vulnerable to cyber-attacks that seriously affect the stability and performance of the power system. While cyber-physical security of smart grids is extensively studied, most of the existing work focuses on the grid level and neglects the modeling and features of device-level power electronics converters (PECs). Furthermore, establishing a high-fidelity simulation testbed that can simulate harmonic frequencies of the PV farm is in urgent need. In this paper, a high-fidelity and real-time hardware-in- the-loop testbed is built to simulate the harmonics of power electronics converters for cyber-physical security of PEC-enabled PV farms. Based on this testbed, the impact of typical cyber-attacks and physical faults on the PV converter can be analyzed, thus providing a foundation for cyber-attack detection, root cause diagnosis, and resilient control to mitigate the adverse effects of cyber-attacks.

Online and Offline Data Quality Monitoring for the Mu2e Calorimeter

This thesis presents the design, implementation, and validation of a calorimeter Data Quality Monitoring (DQM) toolchain for the Mu2e experiment at Fermilab. Mu2e searches for charged lepton flavor violation via coherent muon-to-electron conversion in the field of an aluminum nucleus, $\mu^- Al \rightarrow e^-Al$, a process whose observation would constitute clear evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model. Achieving target sensitivity requires stringent control of detector performance and data integrity during acquisition, as subtle issues in readout configuration, data formatting, or electronics behavior can compromise reconstruction and bias downstream analyzes. To address these challenges, this work develops a multi-layer DQM approach spanning both raw data validation and reconstructed digi-level diagnostics. At the low level, a fragment analysis component performs word- and bit-field decoding of calorimeter readout blocks, enabling sanity checks of the expected structure and producing detailed error and integrity statistics useful for commissioning and troubleshooting. At the digi level, the CaloDigiDQM analyzer is implemented within the art framework and transforms each CaloDigiCollection into a structured hierarchy of ROOT histograms designed for fast drill-down diagnostics. The module generates coherent monitoring views at global, disk, board, and channel granularity, including occupancy, waveform-derived features (baseline, RMS, peak amplitude and position), and left-right sensor consistency metrics. Detector-aware channel-to-electronics mapping is performed through the conditions system (CaloDAQMap), ensuring that diagnostics remain aligned with hardware identifiers used in operations. For end-to-end testing without reliance on live DAQ data, a synthetic CaloDigi producer is developed to generate realistic waveforms with controlled noise and pulse shapes. The resulting system supports both offline ROOT-file production and online operation, including optional histogram streaming through otsdaq via ots::HistoSender. This toolchain provides a practical and scalable foundation for calorimeter commissioning and stable data collection, enabling early detection of anomalies and reducing operational risk for Mu2e.

High-throughput characterization, correlation, and mapping of leaf photosynthetic and functional traits in the soybean ( Glycine max ) nested association mapping population

We report photosynthesis is a key target to improve crop production in many species including soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. A challenge is that phenotyping photosynthetic traits by traditional approaches is slow and destructive. There is proof-of-concept for leaf hyperspectral reflectance as a rapid method to model photosynthetic traits. However, the crucial step of demonstrating that hyperspectral approaches can be used to advance understanding of the genetic architecture of photosynthetic traits is untested. To address this challenge, we used full-range (500–2,400 nm) leaf reflectance spectroscopy to build partial least squares regression models to estimate leaf traits, including the rate-limiting processes of photosynthesis, maximum Rubisco carboxylation rate, and maximum electron transport. In total, 11 models were produced from a diverse population of soybean sampled over multiple field seasons to estimate photosynthetic parameters, chlorophyll content, leaf carbon and leaf nitrogen percentage, and specific leaf area (with R 2 from 0.56 to 0.96 and root mean square error approximately <10% of the range of calibration data). We explore the utility of these models by applying them to the soybean nested association mapping population, which showed variability in photosynthetic and leaf traits. Genetic mapping provided insights into the underlying genetic architecture of photosynthetic traits and potential improvement in soybean. Notably, the maximum Rubisco carboxylation rate mapped to a region of chromosome 19 containing genes encoding multiple small subunits of Rubisco. We also mapped the maximum electron transport rate to a region of chromosome 10 containing a fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase gene, encoding an important enzyme in the regeneration of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate and the sucrose biosynthetic pathway. The estimated rate-limiting steps of photosynthesis were low or negatively correlated with yield suggesting that these traits are not influenced by the same genetic mechanisms and are not limiting yield in the soybean NAM population. Leaf carbon percentage, leaf nitrogen percentage, and specific leaf area showed strong correlations with yield and may be of interest in breeding programs as a proxy for yield. This work is among the first to use hyperspectral reflectance to model and map the genetic architecture of the rate-limiting steps of photosynthesis.

The collisional drift mode in a partially ionized plasma

The structure of the drift instability was examined in several density regimes. Let sub e be the total electron mean free path, k sub z the wave-vector component along the magnetic field, and the ratio of perpendicular ion diffusion to parallel electron streaming rates. At low densities (k sub z lambda 1) the drift mode is isothermal and should be treated kineticly. In the finite heat conduction regime square root of m/M k sub z Lambda sub 1) the drift instability threshold is reduced at low densities and increased at high densities as compared to the isothermal threshold. Finally, in the energy transfer limit (k sub z kambda sub e square root of m/M) the drift instability behaves adiabatically in a fully ionized plasma and isothermally in a partially ionized plasma for an ion-neutral to Coulomb collision frequency ratio.

The Fluid Processing Apparatus: from Flight Hardware to Electron Micrographs

Since the early years of space biology, a major drawback in spaceflight plant experiments has been the inability to fix specimens in microgravity, relying instead on fixation after return to Earth. As there, it is of a growing interest to look at the effect of microgravity on the structure and the developmental polarity of root graviperceptive cells, or columella cells, and so, it is important to use flight hardware which allows specimen fixation in space therefore avoiding the confounding effects of rapid readaptation to gravity after landing. As part of the Bioserve Space Technologies, a Center for the Commercial Development of Space (CCDS), we now have experiment flight opportunities through the Commercial Generic Bioprocessing Apparatus (CGBA) payload. In this study the Fluid Processing Apparatus (FPA) was used to grow seedlings for a limited period of time prior to fixation of the tissue in a microgravity environment. Upon return to Earth, the samples were processed for electron microscopy. This report describes the microscopic data obtained from the two space flights (STS-54 and STS-60). In both cases, the electron micrographs of the columella cells revealed well preserved cell structure, well defined microtubules, and the presence of calcium precipitates formed by a antimonate precipitation method.

Dynamic Control System Mode Performance of the Space Technology-7 Disturbance Reduction System

The Space Technology-7 (ST-7) Disturbance Reduction System (DRS) is an experiment package aboard the European Space Agency (ESA) LISA Pathfinder spacecraft, launched on December 3, 2015. DRS consists of three primary components: Colloidal MicroNewton Thrusters (CMNTs), an Integrated Avionics Unit (IAU), and flight-software implementing the Command and Data Handling (C&DH) and Dynamic Control System (DCS) algorithms. The CMNTs were designed to provide thrust from 5 to 30 micro Newton, with thrust controllability and resolution of 0.1 micro Newton and thrust noise of 0.1 micro Newton/(square root of (Hz)) in the measurement band from 1-30 mHz. The IAU hosts the C&DH and DCS flight software, as well as interfaces with both the CMNT electronics and the LISA Pathfinder spacecraft. When in control, the DCS uses star tracker attitude data and capacitive or optically-measured position and attitude information from LISA Pathfinder and the LISA Technology Package (LTP) to control the attitude and position of the spacecraft and the two test masses inside the LTP. After completion of the nominal ESA LISA Pathfinder mission, the DRS experiment was commissioned followed by its nominal mission. DRS operations extended over the next five months, interspersed with station keeping, anomaly resolution, and periods where control was handed back to LISA Pathfinder for them to conduct further experiments. The primary DRS mission ended on December 6, 2016, with the experiment meeting all of its Level 1 requirements. The DCS, developed at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, consists of five spacecraft control modes and six test mass control modes, combined into six 'DRS Mission Modes'. Attitude Control and Zero-G were primarily used to control the spacecraft during initial handover and during many of the CMNT characterization experiments. The other Mission Modes, Drag Free Low Force, 18-DOF Transitional, and 18-DOF, were used to provide drag-free control of the spacecraft about the test masses. This paper will discuss the performance of these DCS spacecraft and test mass control modes. Flight data will be shown from each mode throughout the mission, both from nominal operations and during various flight experiments. The DCS team also made some changes to controller, filter, and limit parameters during operations; the motivation and results of these changes will be shown and discussed.

The PRad windowless gas flow target

In this work, we report on a windowless, high-density, gas flow target at Jefferson Lab that was used to measure $r_p$, the root-mean-square charge radius of the proton. To our knowledge, this is the first such system used in a fixed-target experiment at a (non-storage ring) electron accelerator. The target achieved its design goal of an areal density of 2$\times$10$^{18}$ atoms/cm$^2$, with the gas uniformly distributed over the 4 cm length of the cell and less than 1% residual gas outside the cell. This design eliminated scattering from the end caps of the target cell, a problem endemic to previous measurements of the proton charge radius in electron scattering experiments, and permitted a precise, model-independent extraction of $r_p$ by reaching unprecedentedly low values of $Q^2$, the square of the electron's transfer of four-momentum to the proton.

Reaction of NH2 with NO and O2

Experiments were performed on the photooxidation of NH3 at room temperature and the photolysis of NH3-NO mixtures in order to determine the reaction paths of NH2 with O2. NH3 was photolyzed (NH3 + E yields NH2 + H) in the presence of O2 above 0.6 torr at 213.9 nm and 25 C, producing N2 and N2O. Only N2 and N2O were produced with any significant quantum yield, and their quantum yield was invariant with reaction conditions, which imposes a great number of constraints reducing the number of possible reactions greatly. It is argued that the N2 must be produced from the NH2O2 radical which was produced by the reaction between NH2 and O2. Subsequent reactions leading to N2 and N2O are speculative. In the photolysis of NH3 in the presence of NO and NO-O2 mixtures, the products identified were N2, H2, and N2O. Without the presence of O2, the reaction scheme after photolysis is (2) NH2 + NO yields N2 + H2O, (3) H + NO + M yields HNO + M, (4) H + HNO yields H2 + NO, and (5) 2HNO yields N2O + H2O. The average value for the ratio k3 times the square root of k5 divided by k4 was computed to be (1.6 plus or minus 0.6) times 10 to the minus 28th cm to the exponent 9/2 per square root sec. In addition, the presence of 113 mtorr of O2 had no effect on the quantum yields of N2 or H2, so it appears that it does not deactivate electronically excited NH3.

Observation and Control of Unidirectional Ballistic Dynamics of Nanoparticles at a Liquid–Gas Interface by 4D Electron Microscopy

Understanding and controlling the dynamics of active Brownian objects far from equilibrium are fundamentally important for emerging technologies such as artificial micro/nanomotors for drug deliveries and noninvasive microsurgery. However, direct observation and control of unidirectional propulsion of individual nanoscale objects are technically challenging due to the required spatiotemporal resolution. Here, we report in situ visualization and manipulation of unidirectional superfast ballistic dynamics of a single-photon-activated gold nanoparticle (NP) along the liquid–gas interface by four-dimensional electron microscopy (4D EM) at nanometer and nanosecond scales. We observed that, upon repetitive femtosecond laser excitation, the NP at the liquid–gas interface exhibits a continuously superfast unidirectional translation with a linear dependence of its root mean squared velocity (νrms) on either the laser fluence or repetition rate. Under a single femtosecond pulse excitation, the NP exhibits a superfast ballistic translation at the nanosecond time scale. Combined experiment and physical modeling reveals that the superfast unidirectional, ballistic translation is driven by unidirectional random impulsive forces arising from the nanobubbles (NBs) induced by enhanced laser heating as a result of plasmonic excitation, which is controllable by tuning the laser characteristics. Furthermore, this directional plasmonic NB-propulsion mechanism sheds light on the design of light-controllable artificially intelligent micro/nanomotor systems.
