6-D ELEMENT-BY-ELEMENT PARTICLE TRACKING WITH CRAB CAVITY PHASE NOISE AND WEAK-STRONG BEAM-BEAM INTERACTION FOR THE HADRON STORAGE RING OF THE ELECTRON-ION COLLIDER

The Electron Ion Collider (EIC) presently under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory will collide polarized high energy electron beams with hadron beams with luminosities up to 10^34 cm?^2 s^?1 in center mass energy range of 20-140 GeV. Crab cavities are used to compensate the geometric luminosity due to a large crossing angle 25 mrad in the EIC. It was found that the phase noise in crab cavities will generate a significant emittance growth for the hadron beams. The phase noise tolerance from the analytical calculation is very small for the Hadron Storage Ring (HSR) of the EIC. In this article, we present our preliminary numerical simulation results with a 6-d symplectic particle tracking to determine the proton emittance growth rate with crab cavity phase noise and beam-beam interaction for the HSR.

Theoretical models of single-element LTSA antenna elements

The spectral domain computations for slotline guide wavelength and characteristic impedance provide the basic parameters that are need to calculate the radiation pattern of an Linearly Tapered Slot Antenna (LTSA) by using the half-plane Green's function and a stepped approximation to the LTSA structure. However, the spectral domain computations are somewhat time consuming and not suitable for computer aided design application. Therefore, the results of several computation were fitted by formulas that are readily evaluated on a calculator or computer. Antenna measurements were continued, and an attempt was made to predict the truncation effect by three different methods.

Partitioning of rare earth elements between hibonite and melt and implications for nebular condensation of the rare earth elements

The effect of oxygen fugacity on the partitioning of REEs between hibonite and silicate melt is investigated in hibonite-growth experiments at 1470 C. The experimental procedures and apparatus are described, and the results are presented in extensive tables and graphs and characterized in detail. The absolute activity coefficients in hibonite are estimated as 330 for La, 1200 for Eu(3+), and 24,000 for Yb. It is inferred that ideal solution behavior cannot be assumed when calculating REE condensation temperatures for (Ca, Al)-rich inclusions in carbonaceous chondrites.

A new numerical framework for solving conservation laws: The method of space-time conservation element and solution element

A new numerical framework for solving conservation laws is being developed. It employs: (1) a nontraditional formulation of the conservation laws in which space and time are treated on the same footing, and (2) a nontraditional use of discrete variables such as numerical marching can be carried out by using a set of relations that represents both local and global flux conservation.

The method of space-time conservation element and solution element-applications to one-dimensional and two-dimensional time-marching flow problems

A nontraditional numerical method for solving conservation laws is being developed. The new method is designed from a physicist's perspective, i.e., its development is based more on physics than numerics. Even though it uses only the simplest approximation techniques, a 2D time-marching Euler solver developed recently using the new method is capable of generating nearly perfect solutions for a 2D shock reflection problem used by Helen Yee and others. Moreover, a recent application of this solver to computational aeroacoustics (CAA) problems reveals that: (1) accuracy of its results is comparable to that of a 6th order compact difference scheme even though nominally the current solver is only of 2nd-order accuracy; (2) generally, the non-reflecting boundary condition can be implemented in a simple way without involving characteristic variables; and (3) most importantly, the current solver is capable of handling both continuous and discontinuous flows very well and thus provides a unique numerical tool for solving those flow problems where the interactions between sound waves and shocks are important, such as the noise field around a supersonic over- or under-expansion jet.

The Space-Time Conservation Element and Solution Element Method-A New High-Resolution and Genuinely Multidimensional Paradigm for Solving Conservation Laws: Numerical Simulation of Shock Waves and Contact Discontinuities - 2

Without resorting to special treatment for each individual test case, the 1D and 2D CE/SE shock-capturing schemes described previously (in Part I) are used to simulate flows involving phenomena such as shock waves, contact discontinuities, expansion waves and their interactions. Five 1D and six 2D problems are considered to examine the capability and robustness of these schemes. Despite their simple logical structures and low computational cost (for the 2D CE/SE shock-capturing scheme, the CPU time is about 2 micro-secs per mesh point per marching step on a Cray C90 machine), the numerical results, when compared with experimental data, exact solutions or numerical solutions by other methods, indicate that these schemes can accurately resolve shock and contact discontinuities consistently.

The Space-Time Conservation Element and Solution Element Method: A New High-Resolution and Genuinely Multidimensional Paradigm for Solving Conservation Laws: The Two Dimensional Time Marching Schemes - 1

A new high resolution and genuinely multidimensional numerical method for solving conservation laws is being, developed. It was designed to avoid the limitations of the traditional methods. and was built from round zero with extensive physics considerations. Nevertheless, its foundation is mathmatically simple enough that one can build from it a coherent, robust. efficient and accurate numerical framework. Two basic beliefs that set the new method apart from the established methods are at the core of its development. The first belief is that, in order to capture physics more efficiently and realistically, the modeling, focus should be placed on the original integral form of the physical conservation laws, rather than the differential form. The latter form follows from the integral form under the additional assumption that the physical solution is smooth, an assumption that is difficult to realize numerically in a region of rapid chance. such as a boundary layer or a shock. The second belief is that, with proper modeling of the integral and differential forms themselves, the resulting, numerical solution should automatically be consistent with the properties derived front the integral and differential forms, e.g., the jump conditions across a shock and the properties of characteristics. Therefore a much simpler and more robust method can be developed by not using the above derived properties explicitly.
