The technical report summarizes the technical achievements of DOE award "Search for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay with EXO-200 and nEXO" to the University of Illinois from 2018 - 2023.
The objective of the Midwest Regional Carbon Initiative (MRCI) project was to implement a collaborative Regional Initiative to accelerate the deployment of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) in the Midwest-Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic areas of the United States. This area encompasses a 20-state region with much of the country’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The MRCI project is co-led by Battelle Memorial Institute (Battelle) in Columbus, Ohio, and the Illinois State Geological Survey (ISGS) in Champaign, Illinois, and benefitted from the experience these organizations have acquired over the past 10-plus years leading two Department of Energy (DOE) Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships (RCSPs): the Midwestern Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (MRCSP), led by Battelle, and the Midwest Geologic Sequestration Consortium (MGSC), led by the ISGS.

This technical report summarizes the achievements during the project period. The general goal of the project is to enhance the representation of atmospheric deep convection in the DOE global climate model E3SM. By implementing a stochastic convection scheme into E3SM, we improved the simulation of precipitation intensity and frequency. As a result, it has a profound impact on the simulation of other fields in the model, including aerosol scavenging by precipitation and aerosol radiative effects. We also implemented a convective cloud microphysics scheme into E3SMv2 to represent more accurately the interaction between convection and grid-scale clouds. An extensive analysis of model simulations as part of the Next Generation Development (NGD) convection scheme assessment project found that including the convective microphysics scheme improved the simulation of Madden-Julian oscillations (MJO) in the model. To make convective parameterization schemes more scale-aware as the GCM resolution increases, we analyzed the output from cloud-resolving model (CRM) simulations of both organized and unorganized convection by coarse-graining the CRM data to different GCM resolutions. Using a novel approach to modify the convective closure, we demonstrated that the convection scheme used in E3SM (ZM scheme) can be made scale-aware.
This technical report summarizes the main accomplishments of the research performed under the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science, Early Career Award (ECA), grant number DE-SC0018117, from 9/1/2017 to 8/31/2022, with Prof. Dennis Perepelitsa as the single PI. The grant proposal was to investigate the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) created in ultrarelativistic collisions of large nuclei with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and to prepare for this physics with the sPHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). In particular, the focus was on QGP regions of different sizes and shapes, including the tradtional “large” collision systems such as Pb+Pb as well as small collision systems such as p+Pb, where there has been evidence of QGP “flow” but not yet the accompanying energy loss from hard-scattered partons traversing the QGP medium. Additionally, a particular tool was the use of photon+jet events, where the photon is unaffected by the QGP and thus serves as the “control” while the jet (the result of parton fragmentation) is the “probe” of the QGP. The research was successfully carried out, resulting in over ten publications of experimental measurements in peer-reviewed journals, and the significant training of junior scientists.

This technical report discusses the outcomes from a grant to the University of Dallas in collaboration with the University of Kentucky, the United States Naval Academy and Mississippi State University to measure neutron cross sections and to provide educational opportunities in nuclear science for undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral scholars.
Final technical report for the Open Energy Data Initiative (OEDI) project covering fiscal years FY22 through FY24. The DOE Open Energy Data Initiative (OEDI) is a partnership between the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and major cloud providers including Amazon, Microsoft, and Google to provide universal access to big data in the cloud. At the heart of OEDI is a centralized repository of high-value energy research datasets aggregated from the U.S. Department of Energy's Program Offices, National Laboratories and other collaborators. It aggregates smaller, domain-specific repositories, allows direct data submissions, and includes support for big data through its energy data lakes. OEDI's data lakes make high-value data universally accessible and help researchers, collaborators and the general public overcome many of the obstacles to accessing and using big data.

This final technical report summarizes the work of the Michigan State University (MSU) team supported by grant # DE-SC0018973 awarded by the Office of Nuclear Physics, Department of Energy. The awarded proposal is a joint effort of Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL, led by Dr. Yun Luo), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL, led by Dr. Ji Qiang), Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (TJNAF, led by Dr. Yves Roblin) and MSU (led by Dr. Yue Hao). The MSU personnel supported by the grant include Dr. Yue Hao and Dr. Derong Xu, who is hired as a postdoctoral research fellow. MSU team ‘s work in this proposal focused on the beam dynamics study and numerical simulation of crabbed collision with crab cavities. Analytical calculations and numerous simulations have been done to identify beam dynamics effect out of numerical noises, study the synchro-betatron resonance in the crab crossing scheme, evaluate the effects of non-ideal settings for crab cavity and the effects of the crab crossing noises. The results have been published in journals and as conference proceedings. From the results of the proposal, we gained a clear understanding of the beam-beam interaction in the EIC designs and provided robust countermeasures to possible beam-beam interaction related to beam lifetime reduction, beam emittance growth, beam instabilities, and luminosity degradation, which significantly mitigate the technical risks associated with the EIC accelerator designs.
This final technical report covers the final renewal period, 08/01/2019 to 07/31/2020, and the no cost extension 08/01/2020 to 07/31/2021, that was required because of the pandemic interruption. The proposed research was in the area of sustainable recovery of fuels and/or chemicals from biomass; it was by design intended to address fundamental science of the catalysts and that required using a model reaction. The model reaction molecule was phenol because it is a reasonably simply molecule that can be derived from lignin, and requires both hydrogenation and dehydration catalytic reactions that can be performed in water. The needed bifunctional catalyst can be provided by a metal for hydrogenation and by an acid (preferably Brønsted acid) for the dehydration function. Therefore, phenol conversion to an alkane in liquid water at a practical temperature, e.g., 200°C, that will not require extreme pressures, captures many of the complications of biomass derived fuels so it may reveal fundamental science that is relevant to development and implementation of biomass refining.
