Asymptotic preserving methods for fluid electron-fluid models in the large magnetic field limit with mathematically guaranteed properties (Final Report)

The current manuscript is a final report on the activities carried out under the Project LDRD-CIS #226834. In scientific terms, the work reported in this manuscript is a continuation of the efforts started with Project LDRD-express #223796 with final report of activities SAND2021-11481, see [83]. In this section we briefly explain what pre-existing developments motivated the current body of work and provide an overview of the activities developed with the funds provided. The overarching goal of the current project LDRD-CIS #226834 and the previous project LDRD-express #223796 is the development of numerical methods with mathematically guaranteed properties in order to solve the Euler-Maxwell system of plasma physics and generalizations thereof. Even though Project #223796 laid out general foundations of space and time discretization of Euler-Maxwell system, overall, it was focused on the development of numerical schemes for purely electrostatic fluid-plasma models. In particular, the project developed a family of schemes with mathematically guaranteed robustness in order to solve the Euler-Poisson model. This model is an asymptotic limit where only electrostatic response of the plasma is considered. Its primary feature is the presence of a non-local force, the electrostatic force, which introduces effects with infinite speed propagation into the problem. Even though instantaneous propagation of perturbations may be considered nonphysical, there are plenty of physical regimes of technical interest where such an approximation is perfectly valid.

Generation and Control of Self-Organized Nonlinear Kinetic Structures in High Energy Density Plasmas in the Presence of Intense Magnetic Fields and Ultrashort Laser Pulses

In the project we investigated mechanisms to sculpt phase space by controlling plasma instabilities. We found that linear theory, which applies in the initial growth phase of an instability, allows for initial conditions that can suppress instabilities. This provides a possible mechanism to release the energy available to an instability on demand. We developed various computational techniques that can reduce computational cost of simulations while maintaining or improving physical fidelity. We considered the Buneman instability in the presence of a ponderomotively driven plasma wave to examine the interplay between an instability and steady-state plasma response.

Precision measurement of the magnetic field in run 1 of the g-2 experiment

The Proton Improvement Plan-II (PIP-II) is a superconducting linear accelerator being built at Fermilab that will provide 800 MeV proton beam for neutrino production. The linac consists of a total of twenty-three (23) cryomodules of five (5) different types. Cooling is required at 2K, 5K and 40K. The Cryogenic Distribution System (CDS) consists of a Distribution Valve Box, ~285 m of cryogenic transfer line, modular Bayonet Cans to interface with cryomodules, and a Turnaround Can. The cryogenic system must provide protection from over-pressure by sizing pressure relief devices for all volumes and process line circuits. The cryomodule cavity circuits have dual pressure ratings, 4.1 bara when cold and 2.05 bara when warm (T>80K). Worst case relieving cases will be identified. The methods for determining heat flux will be presented. For the relieving occurring in the linac tunnel, flow must vent to outside to avoid an oxygen deficiency hazard. Also, we will present vacuum vessel relief sizing to protect the cryogenic distribution system vacuum shells from over pressure during an internal line rupture. The project is funded by US DOE Offices of Science, High Energy Physics.

Enhancing a LArTPC with a magnetic field

This paper presents the results of the 2024 Summer Students Italian program at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory completed by participant Lorenzo Unich, which lasted between the 27th of July and the 29th of September. This project, which bears the same title of this paper, was supervised by Marco del Tutto, researcher at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. In the first section, we introduce the instruments used throughout the project, detailing their origins and the goals of the traineeship. The second section presents the hardware work conducted, while the final section focuses on the simulations performed for the experimental apparatus. Unless otherwise cited, all pictures and graphs are original.
