Heavy-Duty Vehicle Activity Updates for MOVES Using NREL Fleet DNA and CE-CERT Data

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) is a publicly available tool used by researchers and policymakers to help understand motor vehicle emission sources at a national, county, and project level. Estimates of heavy-duty activity in the most recent version of the model at the time this work was conducted, MOVES2014, was identified as an area in need of improvement. The start activity in MOVES2014 is based on a limited and dated data set. In addition, MOVES2014 relies on drive cycles that represent on-network activity but do not account for idling activity that occurs on off-network roads, such as at a distribution center, while the truck is queuing or during loading and unloading. As a result, MOVES2014 may currently underestimate the number of starts and idle and soak time for heavy-duty trucks in real-world operation. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has previously leveraged its expansive Fleet DNA database of heavy-duty vehicles to idle and start activity for six of the nine heavy-duty vehicle source types of classes in the MOVES model. The data available in Fleet DNA from 416 conventional, diesel-powered vehicles provided activity estimates from more than 120,000 hours of operation throughout 14,682 vehicle days between October 2006 and January 2016. NREL calculated start fraction, starts per day, soak fraction, and idle fraction by hour of the day for each vehicle type, state, and vocation, and provided results in .CSV files that can be translated to MOVES table inputs. The idle and start activity from this initial analysis of Fleet DNA data was used to develop default idle and start data for heavy-duty vehicles in MOVES3. Satisfied with the results from the Fleet DNA data used for MOVES3, the EPA asked NREL to extend this start/soak/idle analysis using additional data from a larger number of vehicles for a potential future update to the MOVES model. Such a data set was achieved from a project led by the University of California at Riverside, College of Engineering, Center for Environmental Research & Technology (CE-CERT) and funded by California Air Resources Board. Specifically, this data set consists of 90 heavy-duty vehicles operated mainly in California, which can be separated into five of the nine heavy-duty vehicle classes in the MOVES model. In addition, the heavy-duty activity database collected by CE-CERT provided activity estimates from more than 44,000 hours of operation throughout 4,724 vehicle days between November 2014 and September 2016. This report details the analysis of the heavy-duty activity database collected from the University of California at Riverside by providing graphical analysis and context for the start, soak, and idle distributions. The comparison of the related results from both the Fleet DNA and CE-CERT data sets are documented as well.

TEAMER - Acoustic Particle Velocity Measurements - CRADA 601 (Abstract)

With relatively few deployments of tidal turbines, the extent and effect of underwater sounds generated from these turbines is not well understood. The University of Washington (UW) is deploying a cross-flow turbine system, the Turbine Lander, in the entrance channel to Sequim Bay. The deployment of this system provides an opportunity to understand the noise radiated by the turbine and its sources. There are three hypothesized sound sources associated with operation of the turbine: 1) a continuous tone associated with energized power electronics; 2) sound associated with the generator when the turbine is rotating; and 3) sound associated with the bearing pack that supports the rotor. PNNL is collaborating with UW and Integral Consulting Inc. (Integral) to simultaneously measure sound sources using three different devices. The NoiseSpotter®, an acoustic sensor system designed by Integral, measures acoustic pressure and a three-dimensional particle velocity vector. The NoiseSpotter, along with a commercial-off-the-shelf acoustic particle motion and pressure sensor (M20-105, Geospectrum Technologies Inc.) owned by PNNL will be deployed on the seabed approximately 50-100 m from the Turbine Lander. UW will concurrently deploy Drifting Acoustic Instrumentation SYstems (DAISYs) to characterize acoustic pressure near the Turbine Lander and localize sounds using a Time Delay of Arrival (TDOA) algorithm. Integral, UW, and PNNL will collaborate on data analysis and interpretation, with the intention of jointly authoring an archival paper on the results. The noise generated from the Turbine Lander is not expected to be significant, yet this experiment will help to evaluate the efficacy of combining technologies to characterize noise and provide insights for approaches to consider for future turbine deployments at other locations.

ROADRUNNER MiniFuel Experiment: Irradiation Target Design and Sample Characterization

High-density uranium nitride (UN) is a fuel candidate for several advanced nuclear reactor designs currently under development. Because there are limited UN performance data relative to fuel fabrication impurity and density variation, an irradiation campaign has been developed as part of a collaborative effort among the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), Westinghouse Electric Company, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) under the Nuclear Science User Facilities program. This project, entitled ROADRUNNER, or Research On ADvancing the peRformance of UraNium Nitrides in Extreme enviRonments, aimsto support UN fuel qualification for advanced reactors by investigating the impact of density and impurity variations on UN performance as a function of irradiation temperature and burnup. The MiniFuel experiment vehicle developed by ORNL, which leverages the High Flux Isotope Reactor, was selected to perform this accelerated separate-effects irradiation testing. The experiment test matrix consists of six MiniFuel targets containing miniature UN fuel disks, and targets three distinct burnup levels (37.5, 60, and 75 MWd/kg U) and three distinct temperatures (600, 900, and 1200°C). Neutronics and thermal analyses were performed to determine the experimental parameters needed to meet the desired irradiation conditions and to predict the experiment components temperatures. UN pellets were fabricated at LANL with tightly controlled parameters to produce specimens with three distinct densities and three levels of carbon content. The pellets were then thinned down by UTSA to the experiment-required thickness. The pre-characterization of the specimens includes density measurements, carbon and oxygen contents, microstructure analysis, and x-ray computed tomography. The selected specimens will be assembled into the MiniFuel experiment, and the first ROADRUNNER MiniFuel targets are intended for HFIR insertion during the Fall of 2024. After irradiation, the targets will be shipped to ORNL’s hot cell facility for disassembly. The post-irradiation examination on the fuel specimens includes fission gas release measurements, visual inspection, fuel swelling measurements, gamma spectroscopy, and microstructure analysis. The data collected post-irradiation will be used to develop fuel performance models.

ODIN: Probing the LAE Ly α Luminosity Function across Cosmic Time and Different Environments

The ubiquity and relative ease of discovery make 2 ≲ z ≲ 5 Lyα emitting galaxies (LAEs) ideal tracers for large-scale structure of the distant Universe. In addition, because Lyα is a resonance line, but frequently observed at large equivalent width, it is potentially a probe of galaxy evolution. The LAE Lyα luminosity function (LF) is an essential measurement for making progress on both of these topics. Although several studies have computed the LAE LF, very few have delved into how the function varies with environment. The large area and depth of the One-hundred-deg 2 DECam Imaging in Narrowbands (ODIN) survey makes such measurements possible at the cosmic noon redshifts of z ∼ 2.4, 3.1, and 4.5. In this initial work, we present algorithms needed to rigorously compute the LAE LF, and test them on the ∼16,000 ODIN LAEs found in the extended COSMOS field. Using these limited samples, we find weak evidence that protocluster environments suppress the numbers of faint LAEs compared to the field. We also find that the LF decreases in number density and evolves towards a steeper faint-end slope over cosmic time from z ∼ 4.5 to z ∼ 2.4.

Data from: Coupled machine learning-ecosystem ensemble models substantially improve predictions of nitrous oxide (N 2 O) fluxes from US croplands

Nitrous oxide (N₂O) is a potent and persistent greenhouse gas, with rising atmospheric concentrations driven in part by inefficient use of synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilizers in agriculture. Predicting soil N₂O emissions is challenging due to high spatial and temporal variability arising from complex soil biogeochemical processes. Process-based ecosystem models and standalone machine learning (ML) approaches without extensive site-specific calibration often miss high emission episodes. Here, we show how an Ensemble Modeling System (EMS) based on outputs from an ensemble of ecosystem models coupled to an ensemble of ML models can improve predictions and understanding of N2O fluxes from US cropland. Trained and validated on approximately 12,000 N2O chamber measurements at 17 U.S. Midwest sites (six crops, 35 management practices), the EMS accurately predicted daily fluxes of N2O at both training (R² = 0.84, RMSE = 16.4 g N ha⁻¹ d⁻¹) and held-out testing sites (R² = 0.84, RMSE = 6.2 g N ha⁻¹ d⁻¹). Analyses identified six dominant N₂O drivers: soil organic carbon (SOC), NH₄⁺, NO₃⁻, water-filled pore space (WFPS), soil temperature, and biomass production. Wet, warm soils produced large N₂O peaks only with sufficient SOC and mineral N; in low-SOC soils, fluxes remained low. Incorporating these drivers into process-based models might significantly improve their predictive capacity. The EMS demonstrates a strong potential to predict N₂O fluxes at unseen sites, enabling more reliable regional inventories, improved gap-filling where measurements are sparse, and enhanced understanding of mechanisms to advance targeted mitigation strategies in food, feed, and bioenergy crops.

X-ray Scintillating Lanthanide-Based Coordination Polymers

Reported are the syntheses and characterization of 25 lanthanide-containing coordination polymers exhibiting four structure types: type I′: [Ln(TFTP) 1.5 (bpy)] (Ln = La 3+ –Nd 3+ ), type I: [Ln(TFTP) 1.5 (bpy)(H 2 O)] (Ln = Sm 3+ –Lu 3+ ), type II′: [Pr(TFTP) 1.5 (phen)], and type II: [Ln(TFTP) 1.5 (phen)(H 2 O)] (Ln = Nd 3+ –Yb 3+ , excluding Pm). These compounds feature lanthanide metal cations bound to tetrafluoroterephthalate linkers (TFTP) and either, 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) or 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) capping ligands. Initial calculations using crystallographic data revealed large void spaces, ranging from 86 Å 3 in type I to 333 Å 3 in type II. Yet, adsorption isotherm data indicate very little gas uptake of both materials with a BET surface area of 9 m 2 /g for I-Tb (8) and 19 m 2 /g for II-Tb (20). X-ray irradiation of I-Eu (6), II-Eu (18), I-Tb (8), and II-Tb (20) produced visible red and green emission, respectively. Furthermore, radioluminescence studies of both type I and II with Sm 3+ , Eu 3+ , and Tb 3+ metal centers indicate that both structure types featuring Tb 3+ are brighter than those with Eu 3+ or Sm 3+ . Notably, structure type I with Tb 3+ is the brightest scintillator with a relative luminosity of 1.7× that of bismuth germanate (BGO).

Chemical decomposition in shock-compressed 1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethene (FOX-7) single crystals: Time-resolved Raman spectroscopy

Understanding the evolution of chemical decomposition—at the molecular level—in shock-compressed insensitive high explosive (IHE) single crystals is an important need. Toward this goal, time-resolved Raman spectra were measured in 1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethene (FOX-7) single crystals shock compressed to stresses above 20 GPa. At 22 GPa and higher stresses, the Raman peak intensities were significantly reduced, showing the onset and extent of chemical changes. At 33 GPa, no Raman peaks were observed, suggesting complete decomposition of FOX-7. The 22 GPa onset from Raman data is in marked contrast to the much higher (32 GPa) onset determined previously from wave profile measurements—showing the significantly greater sensitivity of Raman measurements for gaining insight into shock-induced molecular-level changes in IHE single crystals. The close match between the complete loss of Raman peaks at 33 GPa and the 32 GPa reaction threshold determined from continuum data makes a good case that the two results are related and they reflect significant energy release due to decomposition.

Ordering the topological order in the fractional quantum Hall effect

Here, we discuss the possible topological order/topological quantum field theory of different quantum Hall systems. Given the value of the Hall conductivity, we constrain the global symmetry of the low-energy theory and its anomaly. Specifically, the one-form global symmetry and its anomaly are presented as the organizing principle of these systems. This information is powerful enough to lead to a unique minimal topological order (or a small number of minimal topological orders). Almost all of the known experimentally discovered topological orders are these minimal theories. Since this work is interdisciplinary, we made a special effort to relate to researchers with different backgrounds by providing translations between different perspectives.

Electrical readout of topological spin order in ultrathin insulators with small magnetization

Probing magnetic order in insulators with small magnetization is particularly challenging in the ultrathin limit, where magnetometry and diffraction lose sensitivity. Here, in this study, we show that topological spin order with vanishingly small magnetization can be electrically detected through an interfacial topological Hall effect in heavy-metal/magnetic-insulator heterostructures. Using Pt coupled to the canted antiferromagnetic insulator hexagonal LuFe⁢O 3 (h-LuFe⁢O 3 ) we observe an unusually large and robust Hall response arising from the transfer of real-space spin topology across the interface via magnetic proximity effect (MPE). This interfacial signal enables detection of magnetic order in h-LuFe⁢O 3 with an extremely small net magnetization (0.025 𝜇 B /Fe), corresponding to Hall-conductivity-magnetization ratio ≈ 2 V −1 , which is one to two orders of magnitude large than other MPE-induced Hall effects and anomalous Hall effects of conducting magnets. This high sensitivity allows detection of magnetic order in h-LuFe⁢O 3 down to a thickness of only 1.5 unit cells. Our results establish an interfacial Hall-based approach for electrically probing topological spin structures in ultrathin insulators and the related interfaces, enabling access to magnetic order in regimes where conventional probes fail.

Extracting free-energy landscapes of AgMn spin glass thin films with 1/$f$ resistance fluctuations

The temperature-dependent 1/f noise is reported for AgMn (12 at. %) thin films with multiple thicknesses ranging from 15 to 80 nm. A significant increase in the noise magnitude occurs in the spin-glass state. Analysis of the temperature-dependent exponent provides information on the energy barrier distribution and height, which in turn are related to the spin-glass coherence length. Here, we compare our results with those obtained previously on CuMn (13.5 at. %) thin films with similar thicknesses. We observe a similar trend of the increase of the barrier height with respect to thickness, but with relatively lower values for the AgMn barriers as compared to CuMn.

Can Collaboration Succeed in Siting a Spent Nuclear Fuel Facility in the United States?—A Challenge in Political Sustainability

We examine the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s collaborative process to locate, build, and operate one or more federal consolidated interim storage facilities (FCISFs) for commercial U.S. spent nuclear fuel—instead of continuing to store the material at over 70 nuclear reactor sites. Technocratic siting of nuclear facilities in the U.S., most of which did not involve meaningful public participation, was not successful. We consider increasing pressure to find at least one FCISF site, as well as the critical role of trust in engaging communities and reaching agreement—leading some observers to assert that DOE is in the “trust building business”, not the siting business. We present case studies with the following: (1) illustrating community engagement that led to a more satisfactory outcome than had been anticipated (Fernald); (2) a planned voluntary process that failed to produce an operating CISF (Office of the Nuclear Waste Negotiator); and (3) a site that demonstrates the ongoing need for negotiations to keep a site open and operational (Waste Isolation Pilot Plant). The essay concludes with the observation that a collaboration-based siting effort can succeed in the U.S., but that five main challenges—related to trust and requiring patience—will need to be addressed.

Monopole Fluctuations in Galaxy Surveys

Galaxy clustering provides a powerful way to probe cosmology. This requires understanding of the background mean density of galaxy samples, which is estimated from the survey itself by averaging the observed galaxy number density over the angular position. The angle average includes not only the background mean density but also the monopole fluctuation at each redshift. Here for the first time we compute the monopole fluctuations in galaxy surveys and investigate their impact on galaxy clustering. The monopole fluctuations vary as a function of redshift, and it is correlated with other fluctuations, affecting the two-point correlation function measurements. In an idealized all-sky survey, the rms fluctuation at z = 0.5 can be as large as 7% of the two-point correlation function in amplitude at the baryonic acoustic oscillation scale, and it becomes smaller than 1% at z > 2. The monopole fluctuations are unavoidable, but they can be modeled. We discuss its relation to the integral constraint and the implications for the galaxy clustering analysis.

Light and Dark in Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber Neutrino Detectors

Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) neutrino detectors have emerged as a detector technology poised to perform measurements of neutrino interactions with unprecedented precision and as a result answer some of the largest open questions in neutrino physics in the coming decade. This thesis describes methods developed to tackle the computational challenges faced as LArTPC detectors increase in scale and complexity moving towards the multi-kiloton DUNE detectors. These include a new, approximated, model that enables rapid simulation of scintillation light in very large scale detectors, as well as the first demonstration of running the LArSoft software framework on a high performance computer. The high precision of LArTPC detectors designed for next-generation neutrino measurements enables them to also search for Beyond the Standard Model physics produced in high-energy proton--fixed-target collisions in neutrino beams. This thesis presents searches for two dark-sector models performed with the ArgoNeuT experiment: Heavy Neutral Leptons and Heavy QCD Axions. Between them, these models can provide solutions for various unresolved puzzles including neutrino mass generation, the baryon asymmetry of the universe, dark matter and the strong CP problem. In both cases, the dark-sector particles could be produced in the NuMI neutrino beam and can then decay to a pair of oppositely charged muons observable in ArgoNeuT and the downstream MINOS near detector. Both measurements required the development of novel experimental selection techniques and enabled new constraints to be set on the existence of these particles in previously unexplored parameter-space. These searches are both the first of their kind in LArTPC neutrino detectors and pave the way for searches at future neutrino facilities.Date of Award31 Dec 2022Original languageEnglishAwarding InstitutionThe University of ManchesterSupervisorStefan Soldner-Rembold (Supervisor) & Justin Evans (Supervisor)

Search for Low mass Higgs Portal Scalars at the MicroBooNE Detector in the NuMI Beam

The MicroBooNE experiment exploits Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) technology to detect neutrinos from two beams at Fermilab, Chicago: on-axis Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) and the off-axis Neutrinos at the Main Injector (NuMI) beam. While the aim of the experiment is to study the low-energy excess of electron neutrino events observed by the MiniBooNE experiment, to search for eV-scale sterile neutrinos and to characterise neutrino interactions on argon, it could also be exploited to probe Beyond Standard Model (BSM) Physics. This thesis presents a BSM search for low-mass Higgs Portal Scalars at MicroBooNE in the NuMI beam using data collected during the Run 1 and Run 3 data-taking periods with a total exposure corresponding to $7.01 \times 10^{20}$ protons on target (POT). The Higgs Portal Model is an extension to the Standard Model in which a dark-sector scalar, $S$, mixes with the Higgs boson with mixing angle $\theta$ and acquires a coupling to the Standard Model fermions via the Higgs Yukawa coupling. We search for low-mass Higgs Portal scalars, in the mass range $100-200$ MeV, at MicroBooNE via the production channel $K \rightarrow \pi + S$, where scalars are produced from kaons decaying at rest in the NuMI target and beam dump, as well as kaons decaying in flight in the decay pipe of the NuMI beam. In the MicroBooNE detector, we search for the decay channel $S \rightarrow e^+e^-$, which is the only decay channel available to the scalars in the mass range of our search. The results are expressed as limits, at the 95\% confidence level, on the scalar-Higgs mixing angle $\theta$ for scalars in the mass range $100-200$ MeV.Date of Award1 Aug 2023Original languageEnglishAwarding InstitutionThe University of ManchesterSupervisorStefan Soldner-Rembold (Supervisor) & Justin Evans (Supervisor)

Black holes from Fermi ball collapse

Fermi balls are nontopological solitons that can naturally form in an early Universe containing a dark sector with heavy fermions and an attractive interaction mediated by a light scalar field. We compute the Fermi ball mass and radius scaling relations when the potential of the scalar field 𝜑 has a non-negligible quartic coupling 𝜆⁢𝜑4. The resulting Fermi balls reach “saturation” very rapidly, even when their radius is much smaller than the effective Yukawa force range. These objects can therefore grow by mergers or by the accretion of ambient dark fermions until they become so dense that they fall within their Schwarzschild radius and collapse to black holes. This setup, therefore, provides an example of a rather natural and economical dark sector scenario for the formation of primordial black holes.

Energy Shifts and Broadening of Excitonic Resonances in Electrostatically Doped Semiconductors

Tuning the density of resident electrons or holes in semiconductors through electrostatic doping provides crucial insight into the composition of the many excitonic complexes that are routinely observed as absorption or photoluminescence resonances in optical studies. Moreover, we can change the way these resonances shift and broaden in energy by controlling the quantum numbers (e.g., spin and valley) of the resident carriers with applied magnetic fields and doping levels, as well as by selecting the quantum numbers of the photoexcited or recombining electron-hole (𝑒−ℎ) pair through optical polarization. Here, we discuss the roles of distinguishability and optimality of excitonic complexes, showing them to be key ingredients that determine the energy shifts and broadening of optical resonances in charge-tunable semiconductors. A distinguishable 𝑒−ℎ pair means that the electron and hole undergoing photoexcitation or recombination have quantum numbers that are not shared by any of the resident carriers. An optimal excitonic complex refers to a complex whose particles come with all available quantum numbers of the resident carriers. Based on the carrier density, magnetic field, and light polarization, all optical resonances may be classified as either distinct or indistinct depending on the distinguishability of the 𝑒−ℎ pair, and the underlying excitonic complex can be classified as either optimal or suboptimal. The universality of these classifications, inherited from the fundamental Pauli exclusion principle, allows us to understand how optical resonances shift in energy and whether they should broaden as doping is increased. This understanding is supported by conclusive evidence that the broadening and decay of optical resonances cannot be simply attributed to enhanced screening when resident carriers are added to a semiconductor. Finally, applying the classification scheme in either monolayer or moiré heterobilayer semiconductor systems, we relate the energy shift and amplitude of the neutral-exciton resonance to the compressibility of the resident carrier gas.
