A Laboratory Comparison of a Nephelometer and the Cavity-Attenuated Phase Shift Instrument (CAPS)

The interaction of incoming solar radiation (light) with particulate matter in the atmosphere impacts Earth’s radiation budget and thus is of great importance to climate and climate change. This particulate matter consists of particles, an aerosol referring to the ensemble of these particles. All particles scatter incoming solar radiation, sending some of it back to space and providing a cooling influence on the climate. Some particles additionally absorb incoming solar radiation, causing the particle, and the surrounding atmosphere, to heat, and thus altering atmospheric stability and evaporating water and other substances in the particles, which in turn affect the scattering and absorption of light by the particle.

External Fast Electrically-Controlled Ferroelectric Tuners for SRF Cavities

Euclid Techlabs LLC, in collaboration with JLAB (R. Rimmer, C. Hovater) has been awarded the Phase I 2021 DOE SBIR DE-SC0021510 project to develop the first Fast Ferroelectric reactive tuner (FRT) for a SRF accelerator that is currently in operation – CEBAF at JLAB, and is studying the possibility of developing a tuner designs for various new applications: fast frequency switching, transient detuning, and microphonics compensation for the SRF accelerators.

M + (M=Ca, Ba) Cations Bound to Molecular Cavities: A New Strategy for Incorporating Molecular Quantum States into Quantum Information

This project pursued a novel strategy for incorporating multiple qubits per ion into ion-trap based quantum computing (ITQC) involving Ca + and Ba + . By forming molecular complexes of these cations with molecular-scale cages, we hypothesized that molecular energy levels could be incorporated into quantum computing while retaining key properties of the atomic ions intact. We experimented with a variety of molecular cages and found that Na + , K + , Rb + , Ca 2+ , Sr 2+ , and Ba 2+ could be captured and brought into the gas phase efficiently by imbedding them inside [2.2.2]-benzocryptand. IR and UV spectra of these cage complexes are sensitive to the size and charge state of the ion, reporting on the structures and binding properties of the cage complexes. UV photofragmentation of the Ba 2+ -Acetate -1 -BzCrypt complex produces Ba + -BzCrypt, the complex targeted for exploration in the original hypothesis. Follow-on funding is needed to pursue the spectroscopy of this complex as a target for ITQC.

Predictive Capability Maturity Model Demonstration for Cylindrical Cavity Coupling Using Gemma in the Next Generation Workflow

The predictive capability maturity model (PCMM) uses the expert elicitation process to generate credibility evidence for a particular analysis. To ensure Gemma has the capability to efficiently produce this credibility evidence, next generation workflows (NGW) are created for the solution verification, calibration/validation, and input uncertainty quantification portions of the PCMM assessment. These workflows are then used on the Higgins cylinder problem, which is representative of applications involving external-to-internal electromagnetic field coupling through a slot. The uncertainties calculated using these workflows are then used to calculate the validation comparison error and the validation uncertainty for the model following the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) verification and validation (V&V) 20 standard. These workflows will enable analysts to iterate each element of PCMM more efficiently than if completed without using a NGW workflow. An example of this iterative process is shown in Section 7.2.
