Milestone report for MRT 8504: Commission EXAFS spectrometer with spectral range of 17.95-18.6 keV design to obtain EXAFS data for Pu L shell experiments

This milestone describes the development and fielding of EXAFS Phase II spectrometer designed to provide high quality (SNR>=5) EXAFS spectra for Plutonium measurements at the National Ignition facility (NIF). Benefits: the EXAFS data will be used by the High Energy Density (HED) Physics and more specifically the Focused Material Science program to measure the thermal state of compressed materials with good temperature sensitivity (~100-1000 Kelvin). Data with good signal to noise ratio (SNR>=5) and good spectral resolution allows the FMS program to fill a gap in diagnosing temperature to completely constrain material properties for weapon physics and Stockpile Stewardship applications.

Experimental and Theoretical Evaluation of Feed Flow Collar Design For 3D Printed Shell-Fed Hollow Fiber Membrane Modules

This presentation was given at the 2024 AIChE Annual Meeting, San Diego, CA, October 27-31, 2024. The presentation details a method for the efficient fabrication and approximation of membrane performance, developed utilizing 3D printed experimental modules for small hollow fiber modules containing multiple fibers for experimental and simulation comparisons.

Systematic uncertainty of off-shell corrections and higher-twist contribution in DIS at large x

We study the systematic uncertainty and biases introduced by theoretical assumptions needed to include large-x DIS data in a global QCD analysis. Working in the CTEQ-JLab framework, we focus on different implementations of higher-twist corrections to the nucleon structure functions and of offshell PDF deformations in deuteron targets and discuss how their interplay impacts the extraction of the d -quark PDF and the calculation of the neutron structure function at large x.

Symmetry Breaking in the Lowest-Lying Excited-State of CCl4: Valence Shell Spectroscopy in the 5.0–10.8 eV Photon Energy Range

We report absolute high-resolution vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photoabsorption cross-sections of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in the photon energy range 5.0–10.8 eV (248–115 nm). The molecular spectrum and electronic structure have been comprehensively investigated together with quantum chemical calculations, providing geometries, bond lengths, vertical excitation energies and oscillator strengths. The major electronic excitations have been assigned to valence and Rydberg transitions which are also accompanied by vibrational excitation assigned to degenerate stretching, v3′t2 and degenerate deformation v4′t2 modes. The rather complex nuclear dynamics along the degenerate deformation mode, v4′t2, have been thoroughly investigated by Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) method. The relevant Jahn–Teller distortion operative within the lowest-lying electronic excited-state is shown here for the first time in order to yield a weak absorption feature at 6.156 eV. Further calculations on the potential energy curves for the singlet excited-states along the C–Cl stretching coordinate show the relevance of efficient C–Cl bond excision.
