Harmonized wood density data for Central Amazon species in the BIONTE experimental area in Manaus, Brazil

BIONTE (BIOmass and NuTrient Experiment) is a selective logging experiment established at the Experimental Station of Tropical Forestry (EEST, aka “ZF2”) field research station in the mid 1980s in the central Amazon (Higuchi et al. 1997, Amaral et al. 2019). The main data related to BIONTE are available as a separate dataset (Lima et al. 2022). Only species identified within the BIONTE plots were included in this dataset. Wood density, expressed in g cm-3, was collated from multiple sources that were integrated to compose the wood density for BIONTE. The starting point used was wood density data available from Chave et al. (2006), which was then adapted by Marra et al. (2016) and Marra et al. (2018). We also included data collected and synthesized by Ramírez-Méndez (2018) and Gimenez et al.(2021), who combined local estimates of wood density at the site with other sources collected in the Central Amazon. Data are included in .csv files, while BIONTE_WD_headers.txt provides descriptions of data file headers.

Measurement of flow harmonics with multi-particle cumulants in Pb+Pb collisions at s NN = 2.76 TeV with the ATLAS detector

CERN-LHC. The measurements are performed for charged particles with transverse momenta 0.5<pT<20 GeV and in the pseudorapidity range |eta|<2.5. The anisotropy is characterized by the Fourier coefficients, vn, of the charged-particle azimuthal angle distribution for n = 2-4. The Fourier coefficients are evaluated using multi-particle cumulants calculated with the generating function method. Results on the transverse momentum, pseudorapidity and centrality dependence of the vn coefficients are presented. The elliptic flow, v2, is obtained from the two-, four-, six- and eight-particle cumulants while higher-order coefficients, v3 and v4, are determined with two- and four-particle cumulants. A comparison to vn measurements obtained using different analysis methods and previously reported by the LHC experiments is also shown. Results of measurements of flow fluctuations evaluated with multi-particle cumulants are shown as a function of transverse momentum and the collision centrality.

Status Update of a Harmonic Kicker Development for JLEIC

The Jefferson Lab Electron-Ion Collider (JLEIC) is an asymmetric high luminosity ring-ring collider proposed as the next major R&D facility for the nuclear physics community. Both of JLEIC?s electron and ion collider rings have high beam current with gaps serving the pur-poses of beam abort, ion clearing, etc. Those gaps will cause time-varying beam loading in the storage RF cavi-ties, and may result in modulation of cavity RF phase/voltage and cyclic shift of collision point, which could lead to significant luminosity loss. We studied a few approaches to mitigate the RF phase modulation and IP shift, such as correcting the RF phase/voltage modula-tion with traditional LLRF feedback, one-turn feedback (OTFB), or RF feedforward (FF); optimizing the bunch fill pattern to limit the RF phase/voltage modulation to a small fraction of the bunch trains in the collider ring; or matching the RF phase modulation in the two rings. The preliminary results are discussed in this paper.

Longitudinal Beam Dynamics with a Higher-Harmonic Cavity for Bunch Lengthening

In Sect.1 we review the conditions of operation of an HHC system assuming its stability. We first discuss the longitudinal dynamics with an active HHC and the conditions that lead to a quartic potential in the limit of small oscillations, together with formulae giving the bunch lengthening factor and the synchrotron frequency dependence on the amplitude of the synchrotron oscillations. We discuss next passive HHC operations with uniform fillings, and distinguish the case of normal-conducting HHC, where optimal conditions of operation can be met, from the case of superconducting HHC, where optimal conditions of operation can be satisfied only approximately. In Sect.2 we address the stability of the passive superconducting 3HC system of the NSLS-II storage ring via self-consistent simulations with code SPACE. The case of nominal fractional filling of 80% is compared with the case of fractional filling of 90% and with the uniform filling case. It is shown that for values of the detuning frequency in the neighborhood of the good working point discussed in Sect.2, unstable regimes of oscillation are found, with detuning frequency threshold dependent on the gap in the filling. It is shown that the instability regime is characterized by dipole and quadrupole modes of oscillation exhibiting asymptotically nonlinear saturation. A discussion of the average bunch lengthening, together with the degree of uniformity across the bunch train, achievable under stable conditions as a function of the fractional filling concludes the paper.

Offshore Wind Electrical Safety Standards Harmonization (Workshop Proceedings)

Offshore wind (OSW) development activity is accelerating in the United States, with over 10 gigawatts (GW) of capacity likely to be installed on the Atlantic coast before 2030. In addition, states have committed to procure over 29 GW of offshore wind. Experienced European offshore wind energy developers are beginning to make large investments into offshore wind projects in American waters, and some U.S. developers have submitted key design documents for regulatory review. European offshore wind developers possess extensive experience in other geographic markets, which greatly increases confidence that the U.S. offshore wind industry will be successful. Nonetheless, existing U.S. electrical standards and European electrical standards are significantly different. If not addressed, these differences could potentially impact worker safety.

Establishing a sustainable regulatory framework for the security of radioactive sources through harmonization with a safety regulatory framework

In order to establish and maintain sustainable nuclear security regulatory infrastructures for radioactive sources, it is important for States to develop nuclear security regulations with regulatory requirements and relevant criteria for security, which are consistent and well integrated with those for radiation safety. In establishing national regulations, experts worldwide follow the international recommendations on safety and security of radioactive sources published by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Within the IAEA publications on safety and security of radioactive sources, some international recommendations are identical or very similar for both safety and security, for example, the requirement for the establishment of a national registry of radioactive sources. However, some other international recommendations are unique to the security area, such as the recommendation to examine the trustworthiness of employees, or to the safety area, such as the need to establish public exposure controls. Additionally, many international recommendations fall somewhere in between, such as the need for effective authorization of facilities and activities, a regulatory inspection and enforcement regime and the graded approach to establish and apply regulatory requirements. This paper examines how the IAEA international recommendations for establishing regulatory frameworks for safety and security relate to one another.
