Integral resonator gyroscope

The present invention discloses an inertial sensor having an integral resonator. A typical sensor comprises a planar mechanical resonator for sensing motion of the inertial sensor and a case for housing the resonator. The resonator and a wall of the case are defined through an etching process. A typical method of producing the resonator includes etching a baseplate, bonding a wafer to the etched baseplate, through etching the wafer to form a planar mechanical resonator and the wall of the case and bonding an end cap wafer to the wall to complete the case.

Commercially Fabricated Low Loss Superconducting Resonators Integrated With Detectors for Frequency Domain Multiplexing Readout of Future Cosmic Microwave Background Experiments

Planned Stage-IV cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments call for telescopes with the order of 500 000 transition edge sensor (TES) bolometers. Such large arrays would benefit from detector multiplexing, as well as miniaturization and integration of readout components. Additionally, fabrication of micro-fabricated devices at a commercial foundry could potentially boost production rate and reduce overall cost. To this end, HYPRES, Inc., LBNL, and U.C. Berkeley are developing low loss, superconducting LC resonators integrated with antenna coupled TES bolometers for frequency multiplexing readout. The resonators are fabricated on the same wafer and are in the same process flow as the TES detectors, reducing size, weight, and wiring complexity of a detector module compared to the conventional design, where each component is fabricated separately. We have fabricated and tested resonators from 0.6 to 70 MHz, both as standalone devices and integrated with TES bolometers, all fabricated on 150- mm wafers. Finally, we discuss the design and fabrication of these devices and present measurements of the standalone resonators.

Investigation of resonance integrals occurring in cosmic ray diffusion theory

Critical assessment of two versions of a procedure for calculating the pitch angle diffusion coefficient for cosmic rays in a static random magnetic field using the 'resonance integral' method of Hasselmann and Wiberenz (1968) and Jokipii (1972). One of these versions is shown to represent the physics of the situation more accurately than the other.

Tables of Neutron Thermal Cross Sections, Westcott Factors, Resonance Integrals, Maxwellian Averaged Cross Sections, Astrophysical Reaction Rates, and r-process Abundances Calculated from the ENDF/B-VIII.1, JEFF-3.3, JENDL-5.0, BROND-3.1, and CENDL-3.2 Evaluated Data Libraries

We present calculations of neutron thermal cross sections, Westcott factors, resonance integrals, Maxwellian-averaged cross sections, astrophysical reaction rates, and solar system r-process abundances using the latest data from the major evaluated nuclear libraries for 849 ENDF target materials. The recent release of ENDF/B-VIII.1 library, progress in 252 Cf(SF) evaluation, extensive analysis of newly-evaluated neutron reaction cross sections, neutron covariances, and improvements in data processing techniques motivated us to calculate the nuclear industry and neutron physics parameters, produce s-process Maxwellian-averaged cross sections and astrophysical reaction rates, extract r-process abundances, systematically calculate uncertainties, and provide additional insights on currently available neutron-induced reaction data.

Integrated system modeling analysis of a cryogenic multi-cell deflecting-mode cavity resonator

A deflecting mode cavity is the integral element for six-dimensional phase-space beam control in bunch compressors and emittance transformers at high energy beam test facilities. RF performance of a high-Q device is, however, highly sensitive to operational conditions, in particular in a cryo-cooling environment. Using analytic calculations and RF simulations, we examined cavity parameters and deflecting characteristics of TM{sub 110,π} mode of a 5 cell resonator in a liquid nitrogen cryostat, which has long been used at the Fermilab A0 Photoinjector (A0PI). The sensitivity analysis indicated that the cavity could lose 30%–40% of deflecting force due to defective input power coupling accompanying non-uniform field distribution across the cells with 40 ∼ 50 MeV electron beam and 70–80 kW klystron power. Vacuum-cryomodules of the 5 cell cavity are planned to be installed at the Fermilab Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator facility. Comprehensive modeling analysis integrated with multi-physics simulation tools showed that RF loading of 1 ms can cause a ∼5 K maximum temperature increase, corresponding to a ∼4.3 μm/ms deformation and a 1.32 MHz/K maximum frequency shift. The integrated system modeling analysis will improve design process of a high-Q cavity with more accurate prediction of cryogenic RF performance under a high power pulse operation.

Diamond electro-optomechanical resonators integrated in nanophotonic circuits

Diamond integrated photonic devices are promising candidates for emerging applications in nanophotonics and quantum optics. Here, we demonstrate active modulation of diamond nanophotonic circuits by exploiting mechanical degrees of freedom in free-standing diamond electro-optomechanical resonators. We obtain high quality factors up to 9600, allowing us to read out the driven nanomechanical response with integrated optical interferometers with high sensitivity. We are able to excite higher order mechanical modes up to 115 MHz and observe the nanomechanical response also under ambient conditions.
