Asymptotic structure of higher dimensional Yang-Mills theory

Using the covariant phase space formalism, we construct the phase space for non-Abelian gauge theories in (d+2)-dimensional Minkowski spacetime for any d ≥ 2, including the edge modes that symplectically pair to the low energy degrees of freedom of the gauge field. Despite the fact that the symplectic form in odd and even-dimensional spacetimes appear ostensibly different, we demonstrate that both cases can be treated in a unified manner by utilizing the shadow transform. Upon quantization, we recover the algebra of the vacuum sector of the Hilbert space and derive a Ward identity that implies the leading soft gluon theorem in (d+2)-dimensional spacetime.

Uranium Mining and Milling

The starting point for material accountancy under INFCIRC/153-type comprehensive safeguards agreements (paragraph 34(c)) with an Additional Protocol envisions a shifting toward earlier in the nuclear fuel cycle than current practice. The design of effective and efficient safeguards requires a more detailed process-level understanding of front-end activities, to include conducting a survey of uranium mining, concentration, and purification processes in commercial use to catalog technological options for producing uranium ore concentrate, also known as yellow cake. Based on this survey, a process flow diagram (PFD) illustrating front-end process options will be created to illustrate pre-34(c) material flows and support the identification of material control points.

Atmospheric Electric Field-Mill Sensor Field Campaign Report

The foundation stone of atmospheric electricity is the existence of a Global Electric Circuit (GEC) influencing all of the planet. In fact, global thunderstorm activity acts as a voltage source that imposes a potential difference between the ionosphere (positively charged) and the Earth’s surface (negatively charged) of about ~300 kV. Such potential difference is discharged through the poorly conducting atmosphere in fair-weather regions, with atmospheric electric fields of ~100 V/m. First evidence of the GEC was gathered by scientists involved on the Carnegie vessel expeditions (early 20th Century), in which they describe a similar daily variation of the atmospheric electric field in different parts of the Pacific Ocean. Such variation become known as the Carnegie Curve (CC).

Improving Milling Performance on New Computer Numerical Control Machining Centers with Machining Dynamics

This project is directed at improving the efficiency and productivity of the existing installed US machine tool base by correcting a fundamental system-wide flaw in the existing programmable machine tool infrastructure. The project will catalyze a shift from a geometry-only mindset to a geometry -and-machine -performance mindset. The project will lead to a dramatic overhaul of the existing ecosystem for programming of Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machine tools, and will result in energy savings, cost savings, reduced scrap, and improved competitiveness of US manufacturers.

Highly Permeable Rubbery Thin Film Composite Membranes for CO2 Capture from Steel Mills

This presentation will report the rational design and fabrication of NETL’s highly permeable non-aging thin film composite (TFC) membranes for CO2 capture from various industrial point sources. This talk will also cover the design, computational fluid dynamic simulation, 3D printing, and permeation testing of plate-and-frame membrane modules for an upcoming field demonstration at U. S. Steel’s Edgar Thomson Plant in Braddock, PA. The field test will demonstrate membrane-based CO2 capture from a blast furnace for decarbonization of steel manufacturing for the first time in the U.S. A mobile gas permeation test unit is currently under design and construction for the field test, which is scheduled to take place in 2025.
