A control and data acquisition system of a high speed wire scanner is developed for high intensity beam profile diagnostics. The control system of the wire scanner includes two IOCs, a Soft IOC and a VME IOC. The Soft IOC connects with an Aerotech Ensemble motor drive through EPCIS motor record and controls the movement of the wire scanner. An Electrical Input card samples the real-time position of the wire through an incremental encoder, and generates a pulse to synchronize a VME ADC data acquisition card, which digitizes and samples the beam-induced signal after pre-amplification. A VME Relay Output card is installed to control the Brake Solenoid and Actuator Solenoid. All the VME I/O cards are installed on one VME crate and controlled by the VME IOC. The system configuration and software of the wire scanner are under development.
Fermilab is undergoing the most ambitious upgrade to its accelerator control system of the 21st century. As part of the ACORN project, hundreds of legacy control system applications written in C/C++ will be re-imagined and developed from the ground up. In addition, applications to support Fermilab’s new super-conducting linear accelerator are already under construction. To manage the development of modern controls applications, the Controls department has adopted an Agile software development process based on eXtreme Programming. In this paper we will describe our process and detail our experience applying it to the development of two case studies.
The BioWatch Sample Management System is a software application to track the handling and history of holders, magazines, and Integrated Bio Aerosol Smart Sample cartridges for air sampling equipment. The user can generate a report in XML format for use by other software applications. This report documents the format of that XML report for Portable Sampling Units. In this version of the XML file, there are no longer any Storage or Archived elements. Also, the Received element for the PSU collector is now named Receive.
This thesis describes the measurement of the time-integrated semileptonic charge asymmetry in B 0 d mixing, a d sl , using the decay chain of B 0 d ! D *- μ + (ν μ ), D *- ! D 0 π - , D 0 ! K + π - . Decay candidates are reconstructed from 10.4 fb -1 of data recorded by the DØ detector at Fermilab’s Tevatron p$\bar{p}$ collder during the 2002- 2011 ‘RunII’ data taking period. Yields are extracted using a 2 minimising simultaneous binned fit where 490k D candidates are reconstructed. The measurements presented in this thesis was made possible due to sophisticated online and offline reconstruction software, precise tracking systems, and the first-order background asymmetry negating magnet polarity reversal of the DØ detector.
Energy information systems are the web-based software, data acquisition hardware, and communication systems used to store, analyze, and display building energy data. They often include analysis methods such as baselining, benchmarking, load profiling, and energy anomaly detection. This report documents a large-scale assessment of energy information system (EIS) uses, costs, and energy benefits, based on a series of focused case study investigations that are synthesized into generalizable findings. The overall objective is to provide organizational decision makers with the information they need to make informed choices as to whether or not to invest in an EIS--a promising technology that can enable up to 20 percent site energy savings, quick payback, and persistent low-energy performance when implemented as part of best-practice energy management programs.
Whisper is a statistical analysis package developed in 2014 to support nuclear criticality safety (NCS) validation [1-3]. It uses the sensitivity profile data for an application as computed by MCNP6 [4-6] along with covariance files [7,8] for the nuclear data to determine a baseline upper-subcritical-limit (USL) for the application. Whisper version 1.0 was first developed and used at LANL in 2014 [3]. During 2015-2016, Whisper was updated to version 1.1 [9] and is to be included with the upcoming release of MCNP6.2. This document describes the Whisper-1.1 package that will be included with the MCNP6.2 release during 2017. Specific details are provided on the computer systems supported, the software quality assurance (SQA) procedures, installation, and testing. This document does not address other important topics, such as the importance of sensitivity-uncertainty (SU) methods to NCS validation, the theory underlying SU methodology, tutorials on the usage of MCNP-Whisper, practical approaches to using SU methodology to support and extend traditional validation, etc. There are over 50 documents included with Whisper-1.1 and available in the MCNP Reference Collection on the MCNP website (mcnp.lanl.gov) that address all of those topics and more. In this document, however, a complete bibliography of relevant MCNP-Whisper references is provided.
States enter into safeguards agreements with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to fulfill their nuclear non-proliferation commitments. Each nonnuclear-weapon State party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) [1] is required, pursuant to Article III, to conclude a comprehensive safeguards agreement (CSA) with the IAEA. This document aims to provide information regarding the system requirements of software designed for comprehensive safeguards reporting.
The objective of this project is to develop and demonstrate methods for transmission of information in nuclear facilities across physical barriers as acoustic/elastic guided waves along existing in-place metal piping infrastructure. Acoustic communication (AC) system hardware and software layers for efficient and resilient transfer of data are being developed,with the goal of performing experimental demonstration of information transmission in a representative environment.
The NUBOW-3D code (NUBOW) developed in 1978 is a custom FORTRAN analysis code that models the complex mechanical interaction of the fuel assemblies and the core restraint system in response to the effects of thermal expansion and irradiation swelling and creep. NUBOW-3D models the fuel assembly ducts as beams with springs representing the contact between ducts. The core temperature profile and neutron flux profiles are provided at various times during the planned operation of the reactor. NUBOW then calculates the changing shapes of the fuel assemblies and their equilibrium positions within the core restraints. An optional post-processing step calculates the reactivity changes based on new positions of the fuel assemblies using input displacement reactivity WORTHS. Understanding this reactivity change is a key feature to the inherent safety of a fast reactor core. NUBOW was developed to support the design of limited free bow core restraint systems. The NUBOW software was modified in 1987 but the documentation of the upgrades was not completed due to abrupt funding cuts. In the last few years, the software has been ported to a Windows platform using a current FORTRAN compiler and additional changes have been made including consolidating the code to a single executable. While the original NUBOW manual [1] written in 1978 provides an excellent description of the code and input parameters, it lacks the additional features added in the upgrades and in some cases describes features that are no longer operable. This report attempts to bridge the information gap between the original manual and the current state of the software.
This report provides an overview of a workshop held on July 27-28, 2016 at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque to itemize the DOE laboratory capabilties and provide a high level organization of those capabilties into a full evaluation framework for new computing paradigms that spans from fundamental breakthroughs in materials and devices to full system architectures and software environments.
The production of research isotopes at the Radiochemical Engineering Development Center (REDC) invariably leads to the accumulation of radioactive waste. Storage of this waste onsite at ORNL serves as an interim solution prior to shipment to long term storage facilities, however onsite capacity is limited. Proper characterization of the activity of waste products is essential for determining the appropriate waste stream and, ultimately, mitigating the cost of disposal. This is typically done via gamma spectrometry and use of the In-Situ Object Counting System (ISOCS), a software package from Mirion that serves as an accepted community standard. However, variability in the contents, density, and activity distribution in waste containers can introduce large errors in ISOCS quantification. A measurement campaign using a mockup of the proposed setup in Cell G seeks to quantify the magnitude and source of these systematic errors. Analysis of this data will guide the creation of ISOCS geometry templates and measurement methods designed to minimize overall uncertainty in reported activities.
