Development of Li/(CFx)n Battery at Sandia National Laboratories For Long-Lived Power Sources Applications

Emerging Partnership Strategy at Sandia National Laboratories

Research has linked the ability to partner and use alliances as a competitive tool as a critical component of agility. Companies that are able to quickly couple and uncouple themselves with other entities as needed demonstrate agile characteristics of reconjigurability, modulari~ and scalability. The case presented demonstrates these agile characteristics as well as methods employed to reach th...

Fast Ignition Studies at Sandia National Laboratories

This talk will describe ongoing and planned fast ignition theoretical and experimental work using the Z-machine in concert with the upgraded Z-Beamlet/PW laser system. Z can produce x-ray powers of 100-250TW, x-ray energies 1-1.8MJ, and > 200eV radiation temperatures and thus represents an interesting platform for compressing large quantities of matter for use as fast ignition targets. Soon Z w...

Lessons Learned from Early Microelectronics Production at Sandia National Laboratories

During the 1980s Sandia designed, developed, fabricated, tested, and delivered hundreds of thousands of radiation hardened integrated circuits (IC) for use in weapons and satellites. Initially, Sandia carried out all phases, design through delivery, so that development of next generation ICs and production of current generation circuits were carried out simultaneously. All this changed in the m...

Development of intense, long-lived positron sources

In recent years slow positron beam physics has become a very active and diverse field [1] . Currently under consideration are several applications of slow positron beams which require intense beams (>_ 1 Ci of e + ) for their success. A partial list of such applications includes : the production and study of antihydrogen [2], the use of positrons in synchrotron light sources [3], positron micro...
