Extraction of Proton and Deuteron F2 Structure Function from Inclusive Electron-Nucleon Scattering at Large Bjorken-X

The E12-10-002 experiment measured the inclusive electron-nucleon cross section at Jeferson Lab at large Q2 (up to 16 GeV2) and a large range of x (up to 0.99). The data is analyzed and the cross sections are extracted for hydrogen and deuterium. Then the F2 structure function is extracted for hydrogen and deuterium. Finally the quark-hadron duality is tested for the proton F2 structure function for the previous world data and this experiment.

Genetic analyses of leaf traits in an interspecific Zoysia japonica × Zoysia matrella F2 population

Zoysiagrass (Zoysia spp.) is an important warm-season turfgrass cultivated across tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions of the world. The genus is characterized by the presence of salt-secreting glands on the adaxial leaf surface, which contribute to its high salt tolerance. In this study, we analyzed an interspecific F2 population, derived from selfing an F1 from a cross between Z. japonica acc. Meyer and Z. matrella acc. PI 231146, for variation in adaxial salt gland density, leaf width, and vein count. Using composite interval mapping with a previously constructed genetic map as a framework, we identified three quantitative trait loci (QTL) for leaf width, two QTL for vein count, and two QTL for salt gland density. We complemented the QTL analysis with bulked segregant RNA-seq (BSR-seq) to identify shared genomic regions and candidate genes for leaf width and salt gland density. BSR-seq identified four trait-associated regions, but only a single region identified for leaf width on Chr08 overlapped with a QTL for the same trait. We highlight putative candidate genes underlying the leaf width and salt gland density QTL and discuss their potential roles in leaf development. Together, the QTL and candidate genes provide an important resource for breeding stress-resilient Zoysia germplasm.

DECOVALEX-2023: Task F2-Salt Final Report

The subject of Task F of DECOVALEX-2023 concerns performance assessment modelling of radioactive waste disposal in deep mined repositories. The primary objectives of Task F are to build confidence in the models, methods, and software used for performance assessment (PA) of deep geologic nuclear waste repositories, and/or to bring to the fore additional research and development needed to improve PA methodologies. In Task F2-(salt), these objectives have been accomplished through staged development and comparison of the models and methods used by participating teams in their PA frameworks. Coupled-process submodels and deterministic simulations of the entire PA model for a reference scenario for waste disposal in domal salt have been conducted. The task specification has been updated continuously since the initiation of the project to reflect the staged development of the conceptual repository model and performance metrics.

DECOVALEX-2023: Task F2 Salt Final Report

The subject of Task F of DECOVALEX-2023 concerns performance assessment modelling of radioactive waste disposal in deep mined repositories. The primary objectives of Task F are to build confidence in the models, methods, and software used for performance assessment (PA) of deep geologic nuclear waste repositories, and/or to bring to the fore additional research and development needed to improve PA methodologies. In Task F2- (salt), these objectives have been accomplished through staged development and comparison of the models and methods used by participating teams in their PA frameworks. Coupled-process submodels and deterministic simulations of the entire PA model for a reference scenario for waste disposal in domal salt have been conducted. The task specification has been updated continuously since the initiation of the project to reflect the staged development of the conceptual repository model and performance metrics. Thermal, hydrological, mechanical, and chemical properties of individual components of the engineered and natural system were chosen for relevance by participating teams. The salt reference case system was characterized using data and measurements collected at relevant underground research laboratories (URLs), field sites, and simulation results from teams with specialized modelling capability. Participating teams made a wide range of model assumptions from compartmentalized networks to full 3D models of the salt formation. No single contributed model includes full-fidelity representation of all the features, events, and processes (FEPs) detailed in the task specification, but almost all features and processes are represented in at least one model. Despite differences in the modelling strategies developed by participating teams, all models indicate that salt compaction and radionuclide diffusion are key processes in the repository, and for the FEPs and model scenario considered, little of the disposed radionuclides will migrate beyond the repository seal over the 100,000 year simulations. In general, the model output quantities have the largest differences over the short term and near the waste. The models tend to be more similar further from waste and at later time. Disparities between the models are believed to be due to differing simplifications from the task specification, some of which are chosen simplifications to reduce complexity, and some are restrictions imposed by the modelling tools. A second round of this task has been accepted for DECOVALEX-2027 in conjunction with Task F1 on crystalline PA modelling. The future round includes waste package heating, improved modelling of salt creep closure, additional comparisons of coupled-process sub-models, and the impact of repository engineering design on radionuclide migration in the repository. Participants will also propose and finalize a set of uncertain inputs for the reference case simulations, propagate these uncertainties in a set of realizations, and conduct sensitivity analyses on the simulation results.

Sister Rod Destructive Examinations (FY22) Appendix F2: Evaluation of Fuel Rod Fatigue During Spent Fuel Transportation

This report documents work performed under the Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition’s Spent Fuel and Waste Science and Technology program for the US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy (NE). This work was performed to fulfill Level 2 Milestone M2SF-23OR010201024, “FY22 Report on ORNL Sibling Rod Testing Results,” within work package SF-23OR01020102 and is an update to the work reported in M2SF-22OR010201047, M2SF-21OR010201032, M2SF-19ORO010201026, and M2SF- 19OR010201028. As a part of DOE NE High Burnup Spent Fuel Data Project, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is performing destructive examinations (DEs) of high burnup (HBU) (>45 GWd/MTU) spent nuclear fuel (SNF) rods from the North Anna Nuclear Power Station operated by Dominion Energy. The SNF rods, called sister rods or sibling rods, are all HBU and include four different kinds of fuel rod cladding: standard Zircaloy-4 (Zirc-4), low-tin (LT) Zirc-4, ZIRLO, and M5. The DEs are being conducted to obtain a baseline of the HBU rods’ condition before dry storage and are focused on understanding overall SNF rod strength and durability. Composite fuel and defueled cladding will be tested to derive material properties. Although the data generated can be used for multiple purposes, one primary goal for obtaining the post-irradiation examination data and the associated measured mechanical properties is to support SNF dry storage licensing and relicensing activities by (1) addressing identified knowledge gaps and (2) enhancing the technical basis for post-storage transportation, handling, and subsequent disposition. This appendix documents an evaluation of the fatigue data to enhance the technical basis for post-storage transportation, handling, and subsequent disposition and to identify future testing needs for Phase 2 of the project.

F2 extraction from Inclusive Cross Section Data at Large Bjorken x

While we have made significant progress in probing nuclear structure at low Bjorken x and high Q 2 , we still have gaps in our knowledge regarding the high Bjorken x and intermediate Q 2 kinematic region. This is not an accident, but instead due to the diffculty in assessing the non-perturbative region of nuclear physics. For this reason, the E12-10-002 experiment measured the H(e,e') and D(e,e') inclusive cross section in the resonance region. This will allow us to study both perturbative and non-perturbative physics in a kinematic region that lacks precision measurements. Measurements were made up to a Bjorken x of 0.99 and Q 2 up to 17 GeV 2 . These measurements are made using the independent HMS and SHMS spectrometers at the upgraded beam energy of 11 GeV in Hall C at Jefferson Lab. Further, we extract F 2 structure functions from the measured data and study the effect of their inclusion in a global Parton Distribution Function analysis.

Neutron Structure Functions at Large Bjorken X

The E12-10-002 (F2) experiment ran in Hall C at JLab to extract the F2 structure functions of proton and neutron from inclusive H(e, e0) and D(e, e0) reactions in the high Bjorken x region. Those extractions put constraints on the Parton Distribution Functions PDFs (especially at large Bjorken x), and facilitate the study of Quark Hadron Duality. The F2 experiment measurements covers a large kinematic range in x from 0.2 to 1.0, and in Q2 from 4 to 16 GeV2 . While the proton F2 structure function has been studied extensively through inelastic electron-proton scattering, much less is known about neutron structure due to the unavailability of high density, free neutron targets. The BONuS12 experiment was proposed to measure the neutron F2 on a nearly free neutron within a weakly bound deuteron target via the spectator tagging method. Tagging the slow backward moving spectator protons minimizes both off-shell and final-state interaction effects, and the measured proton momentum is used to correct for the initial-state momentum of the struck neutron. The recoil detector is used to detect spectator protons with momenta 70 < ps < 150 MeV/c. This dissertation outlines the design, construction and testing of the recoil detector, Radial Time Projection Chamber (RTPC) and discusses the results of the H(e, e0) and D(e, e0) cross sections and the F2 structure functions obtained from the Hall C F2 data analysis.

Amplitude analysis of ψ3686→γKS0KS0

Using (2712 ± 14) × 106ψ(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector, we perform the first amplitude analysis of the radiative decay ψ3686→γKS0KS0$$ \psi (3686)\to \gamma {K}_S^0{K}_S^0 $$ within the mass region MKS0KS0<2.8$$ {M}_{K_S^0{K}_S^0}<2.8 $$ GeV/c2. Employing a one-channel K-matrix approach for the description of the dynamics of the KS0KS0$$ {K}_S^0{K}_S^0 $$ system, the data sample is well described with four poles for the f0-wave and three poles for the f2-wave. The determined pole positions are consistent with those of well-established resonance states. The observed f0 and f2 states are found to be in agreement with those produced in radiative J/ψ decays. The production behaviors of f0 and f2 poles in ψ3686→γKS0KS0$$ \psi (3686)\to \gamma {K}_S^0{K}_S^0 $$ are qualified with their residues and the converted branching fractions. By comparing with J/ψ→γKS0KS0$$ J/\psi \to \gamma {K}_S^0{K}_S^0 $$ decay, the ratios Bψ3686→γf0,2BJ/ψ→γf0,2$$ \frac{\mathcal{B}\left(\psi (3686)\to \gamma {f}_{0,2}\right)}{\mathcal{B}\left(J/\psi \to \gamma {f}_{0,2}\right)} $$ are determined, which provides crucial experimental inputs on the internal structure of the f0,2 states, especially their potential mixing with glueball components.

Training Population Optimization for Genomic Selection in Miscanthus

Miscanthus is a perennial grass with potential for lignocellulosic ethanol production. To ensure its utility for this purpose, breeding efforts should focus on increasing genetic diversity of the nothospecies Miscanthus × giganteus (M×g) beyond the single clone used in many programs. Germplasm from the corresponding parental species M. sinensis (Msi) and M. sacchariflorus (Msa) could theoretically be used as training sets for genomic prediction of M×g clones with optimal genomic estimated breeding values for biofuel traits. To this end, we first showed that subpopulation structure makes a substantial contribution to the genomic selection (GS) prediction accuracies within a 538-member diversity panel of predominately Msi individuals and a 598-member diversity panels of Msa individuals. We then assessed the ability of these two diversity panels to train GS models that predict breeding values in an interspecific diploid 216-member M×g F2 panel. Low and negative prediction accuracies were observed when various subsets of the two diversity panels were used to train these GS models. To overcome the drawback of having only one interspecific M×g F2 panel available, we also evaluated prediction accuracies for traits simulated in 50 simulated interspecific M×g F2 panels derived from different sets of Msi and diploid Msa parents. The results revealed that genetic architectures with common causal mutations across Msi and Msa yielded the highest prediction accuracies. Ultimately, these results suggest that the ideal training set should contain the same causal mutations segregating within interspecific M×g populations, and thus efforts should be undertaken to ensure that individuals in the training and validation sets are as closely related as possible.
