Studies of heavy and super heavy elements with FIONA: the broad impact of mass-number identifications

There have been multiple recent experimental upgrades at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory 88-Inch Cyclotron facility aimed to further what is possible in Heavy and Super Heavy Element research. The addition of FIONA to the focal plane of the Berkeley Gas-Filled Separator now allows for ions of these heavy and superheavy elements, produced in nuclear reactions, to be identified directly by their mass-to-charge ratio. Mass-number measurements can have a broad impact in understanding the fundamental nuclear and chemical properties of the heaviest elements. A detailed review of the Berkeley Gas-filled Separator, FIONA, their capabilities, and an overview of the first science results are presented.

Measurement of proton light yield of water-based liquid scintillator

Abstract The proton light yield of liquid scintillators is an important property in the context of their use in large-scale neutrino experiments, with direct implications for neutrino-proton scattering measurements and the discrimination of fast neutrons from inverse $$\beta $$ β -decay coincidence signals. This work presents the first measurement of the proton light yield of a water-based liquid scintillator (WbLS) formulated from 5% linear alkyl benzene (LAB), at energies below 20 MeV, as well as a measurement of the proton light yield of a pure LAB + 2 g/L 2,5-diphenyloxazole (PPO) mixture (LABPPO). The measurements were performed using a double time-of-flight method and a pulsed neutron beam from the 88-Inch Cyclotron at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The proton light yields were measured relative to that of a 477 keV electron. The relative proton light yield of WbLS was approximately 3.8% lower than that of LABPPO, itself exhibiting a relative proton light yield 15–20% higher than previous measurements of an analogous anoxic sample. The observed quenching is not compatible with the Birks model for either material, but is well described with the addition of Chou’s bimolecular quenching term.

Fast-ion-driven Alfvén eigenmodes during ICRF-heated high β p plasmas on EAST

Fast-ion-driven Alfvén eigenmodes (AEs) are observed during ICRF-heated high-β p plasmas on EAST. Multiple high frequency modes are observed for shot 112670 at f TAE1 ~ 145 kHz, δB/B ~ 4 × 10 –4 and f TAE2 ~ 175 kHz, δB/B ~ 1.2 × 10 –5 measured by high-frequency Mirnov coils, at B 0 ~ 2.45 T, I p ~ 350kA, n e ramp-up from 3.5 × 10 19 to 4 × 10 19 m −3 at P ECRH ~ 2 MW, PLHW ~ 2 MW, and P ICRH ~ 2.1 MW. Here, 37 MHz ICRF minority hydrogen heating scheme, located at plasma core, creates fast ion population which drives TAEs unstable from TORIC + SFFPQL. In the experiment, it is observed that the evolution of mode frequency depends on electron density, following the theoretical TAE frequency characteristic $f_{{{\text{th}}}} = V_{{\text{a}}} /(4\pi qR) \propto \sqrt {n_{{\text{e}}} }$. As the electron density increases, the amplitude of the AE mode progressively diminishes. Higher plasma density shortens the fast-ion slowing-down time, reduces the heating efficiency of minority hydrogen, weakens the high-energy tail, and consequently decreases the fast-ion beta. Based on the diagnostic results from the microwave reflectometer and electron cyclotron emission (ECE) diagnostics, the TAE is located within the plasma core, consistent with the narrower core region of the TAE gap observed in the continuous spectrum.

Analytic stability boundaries for compressional and global Alfven eigenmodes driven by fast ions. II. Interaction via Landau resonance.

Conditions for net fast ion drive are derived for beam-driven, co-propagating, sub-cyclotron compressional (CAE) and global (GAE) Alfven eigenmodes driven by the Landau resonance with super-Alfvenic fast ions. Approximations applicable to realistic neutral beam distributions and mode characteristics observed in spherical tokamaks enable the derivation of marginal stability conditions for these modes. Such conditions successfully reproduce the stability boundaries found from numerical integration of the exact expression for local fast ion drive/damping. Coupling between the CAE and GAE branches of the dispersion due to finite \omega/\omega_{ci} and k_\parallel/k_\perp is retained and found to be responsible for the existence of the GAE instability via this resonance. Encouraging agreement is demonstrated between the approximate stability criterion, simulation results, and a database of NSTX observations of co-CAEs.

Deep convolutional neural networks for multi-scale time-series classification and application to disruption prediction in fusion devices

The multi-scale, mutli-physics nature of fusion plasmas makes predicting plasma events challenging. Recent advances in deep convolutional neural network architectures (CNN) utilizing dilated convolutions enable accurate predictions on sequences which have long-range, multi-scale characteristics, such as the time-series generated by diagnostic instruments observing fusion plasmas. Here we apply this neural network architecture to the popular problem of disruption prediction in fusion tokamaks, utilizing raw data from a single diagnostic, the Electron Cyclotron Emission imaging (ECEi) diagnostic from the DIII-D tokamak. ECEi measures a fundamental plasma quantity (electron temperature) with high temporal resolution over the entire plasma discharge, making it sensitive to a number of potential pre-disruptions markers with different temporal and spatial scales. Promising, initial disruption prediction results are obtained training a deep CNN with large receptive field ({$\sim$}30k), achieving an $F_1$-score of {$\sim$}91\% on individual time-slices using only the ECEi data.

MetaboDirect: an analytical pipeline for the processing of FT-ICR MS-based metabolomic data

Background: Microbiomes are now recognized as the main drivers of ecosystem function ranging from the oceans and soils to humans and bioreactors. However, a grand challenge in microbiome science is to characterize and quantify the chemical currencies of organic matter (i.e., metabolites) that microbes respond to and alter. Critical to this has been the development of Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS), which has drastically increased molecular characterization of complex organic matter samples, but challenges users with hundreds of millions of data points where readily available, user-friendly, and customizable software tools are lacking. Results: Here, we build on years of analytical experience with diverse sample types to develop MetaboDirect, an open-source, command-line-based pipeline for the analysis (e.g., chemodiversity analysis, multivariate statistics), visualization (e.g., Van Krevelen diagrams, elemental and molecular class composition plots), and presentation of direct injection high-resolution FT-ICR MS data sets after molecular formula assignment has been performed. When compared to other available FT-ICR MS software, MetaboDirect is superior in that it requires a single line of code to launch a fully automated framework for the generation and visualization of a wide range of plots, with minimal coding experience required. Among the tools evaluated, MetaboDirect is also uniquely able to automatically generate biochemical transformation networks (ab initio) based on mass differences (mass difference network-based approach) that provide an experimental assessment of metabolite connections within a given sample or a complex metabolic system, thereby providing important information about the nature of the samples and the set of microbial reactions or pathways that gave rise to them. Finally, for more experienced users, MetaboDirect allows users to customize plots, outputs, and analyses. Conclusion: Application of MetaboDirect to FT-ICR MS-based metabolomic data sets from a marine phage-bacterial infection experiment and a Sphagnum leachate microbiome incubation experiment showcase the exploration capabilities of the pipeline that will enable the research community to evaluate and interpret their data in greater depth and in less time. It will further advance our knowledge of how microbial communities influence and are influenced by the chemical makeup of the surrounding system. The source code and User’s guide of MetaboDirect are freely available through (https://github.com/Coayala/MetaboDirect) and (https://metabodirect.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), respectively.

Oxygen torus and its coincidence with EMIC wave in the deep inner magnetosphere: Van Allen Probe B and Arase observations

We investigate the longitudinal structure of the oxygen torus in the inner magnetosphere for a specific event found on 12 September 2017, using simultaneous observations from the Van Allen Probe B and Arase satellites. It is found that Probe B observed a clear enhancement in the average plasma mass (M) up to 3–4 amu at L = 3.3–3.6 and magnetic local time (MLT) = 9.0 h. In the afternoon sector at MLT ~ 16.0 h, both Probe B and Arase found no clear enhancements in M. This result suggests that the oxygen torus does not extend over all MLT but is skewed toward the dawn. Since a similar result has been reported for another event of the oxygen torus in a previous study, a crescent-shaped torus or a pinched torus centered around dawn may be a general feature of the O + density enhancement in the inner magnetosphere. We newly find that an electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) wave in the H + band appeared coincidently with the oxygen torus. From the lower cutoff frequency of the EMIC wave, the ion composition of the oxygen torus is estimated to be 80.6% H + , 3.4% He + , and 16.0% O + . According to the linearized dispersion relation for EMIC waves, both He + and O + ions inhibit EMIC wave growth and the stabilizing effect is stronger for He + than O + . Therefore, when the H + fraction or M is constant, the denser O + ions are naturally accompanied by the more tenuous He + ions, resulting in a weaker stabilizing effect (i.e., larger growth rate). From the Probe B observations, we find that the growth rate becomes larger in the oxygen torus than in the adjacent regions in the plasma trough and the plasmasphere.

Evaluation of 186 WS 2 target material for production of high specific activity 186 Re via proton irradiation: separation, radiolabeling and recovery/recycling

Enriched tungsten disulfide ( 186 WS 2 ) was evaluated at increasing proton beam currents (20-50 µA) and times (up to 4 h) on a GE PETtrace cyclotron for production of high specific activity (HSA) 186 Re. The HSA 186 Re was separated from the irradiated target as [ 186 Re][ReO 4 ] - by a liquid-liquid extraction method and radiolabeled with a new N 2 S 2 ligand (222-MAMA-N-ethylpropionate). The enriched 186 W was recovered from the extraction process, analyzed for purity and enrichment, and converted back to the disulfide ( 186 WS 2 ). The results demonstrate that the 186 WS 2 is an easily pressed target material that can withstand relatively high currents and can be readily recovered and recycled. The 186 Re produced was isolated in high specific activity and readily formed the radiotracers [ 186 Re][ReO(222-MAMA-N ethylpropionate)] and [ 186 Re][Re(CO) 3 (OH 2 ) 3 ] + .

Deuteron-induced reactions on natural Zr from threshold to 50 MeV: production of 86g Y

Two stacks of thin Zr foils were irradiated with 30 and 50 MeV deuterons, respectively, using the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory 88-Inch Cyclotron, and 19 excitation functions for nat Zr(d,x) reactions were measured over a beam energy range of 6.3–47.64 MeV, where the independent cross sections for nat Zr(d,x) 88 Nb and nat Zr(d,x) 86m,g Y were measured for the first time. The well-characterized nat Fe(d,x) 56 Co, nat Ni(d,x) 56 Co, nat Ni(d,x) 58 Co, nat Ni(d,x) 61 Cu, nat Ti(d,x) 46 Sc and nat Ti(d,x) 48 V monitor reactions were used to determine the deuteron beam current throughout the stacks. All cross sections were determined using High Purity Germanium (HPGe) detector γ-ray spectroscopy. A variance minimization technique was employed to simultaneously constrain the deuteron beam currents with multiple monitor reactions, thus reducing systematic uncertainties. An additional 16 channels are reported for reactions on the nickel, titanium, and iron monitor foils, leading to a total of 35 excitation functions, with seven reaction channels reported for the first time in this work. The measured excitation functions are compared to calculations provided by the reaction modeling codes TALYS – 2.0, ALICE – 2020, CoH – 3.5.3 and EMPIRE – 3.2.3, as well as the TENDL – 2023 data library. The degree of agreement between theory and experiments is discussed. The possible production of the important PET radionuclide 86g Y via the nat Zr(d,x) route was critically examined. The physical yields for nat Zr(d,x) 86 Y and other yttrium isotopes produced were calculated and compared to other production pathways. Due to high-level of associated radionuclide impurities, this route cannot deliver 86g Y suitable for medical applications.

The impact of freeze-thaw history on soil carbon response to experimental freeze-thaw cycles

This dataset contains data used for the paper "The impact of freeze-thaw history on soil carbon response to experimental freeze-thaw cycles". The Related References field will be updated with a full citation when available.Freeze-thaw is a disturbance process in cold regions where permafrost soils are becoming vulnerable to temperature fluctuations above 0˚C. Freeze-thaw alters soil physical and biogeochemical properties with implications for carbon persistence and emissions in Arctic landscapes. We examined whether different freeze-thaw histories in two soil systems led to contrasting biogeochemical responses under a laboratory-controlled freeze-thaw incubation. We investigated controls on soil organic matter (SOM) composition through Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectroscopy (FT-ICR-MS) to identify nominal carbon oxidation states and relative abundances of aliphatic-type carbon molecules in both surface and subsurface soils. Soil cores (~ 60 cm-depth) were sampled from two sites in Alaskan permafrost landscapes with different in situ freeze-thaw characteristics: Healy (>40 freeze-thaw cycles annually) and Toolik (<150 freeze-thaw cycles annually). FT-ICR-MS was coupled with in situ temperature data and soil properties (i.e., soil texture, mineralogy) to assess (1) differences in SOM composition associated with previous freeze-thaw history and (2) sensitivity to experimental freeze-thaw in the extracted cores. Control (freeze-only) samples showed greater carbon oxidation in Healy soils compared with Toolik, even in lower mineral horizons where freeze-thaw history was comparable across both sites. Healy showed the most loss of carbon compounds following experimental freeze-thaw in the lower mineral depths, including a decrease in aliphatics. Toolik soils responded more slowly to freeze-thaw as shown by intermediary carbon oxidation distributed across multiple carbon compound classes. Variations in the response of permafrost carbon chemistry to freeze-thaw is an important factor for predicting changes in soil function as permafrost thaws in high northern latitudes.This dataset contains a compressed (.zip) archive of the data and R scripts used for this manuscript.
