A numerical model describing the expected measurements of neutral beam prompt-losses by a newly commissioned fast ion loss detector (FILD) in DIII-D is presented. This model incorporates the well understood neutral beam deposition profiles from all eight DIII-D beamlines to construct a prompt-loss source distribution. The full range of detectable ion orbit phase space available to the FILD is u...

MiniBooNE, the Mini Booster Neutrino Experiment at Fermilab, will search for the appearance of electron neutrinos in a beam of muon neutrinos, and in the process will accumulate more neutrino interactions in the 0 − 2 GeV energy range than all past experiments. This work presents preliminary results from the neutral current π 0 analysis at MiniBooNE, with comparisons of the NUANCE, NEUGEN, and ...

Measurements of neutral current processes oo the Z-peak are sensitive probes of new interactions, which may be induced by the exchange of new particles such as leptoquarksor extra Z's. This talk reviews the phenomenologyof extra interactions in four-fermion processes and updates a global t to contact terms in the neutral current sector.

At the beginning of the 1970s there seemed little reason to believe that strangeness-conserving neutral currents existed: theoreticians had no pressing need for them and several experiments suggested that they were suppressed if they were present at all. Indeed the two remarkable neutrino experiments that eventually led to their discovery were designed and built for very different purposes, inc...

In neuroelectrophysiology one records electric potentials or magnetic fields generated by ensembles of synchronously active neurons in response to externally presented stimuli. These evoked responses are often produced by multiple generators in the presence of ongoing background activity. While source localization techniques or current source density estimation are usually used to identify gene...

A 60 kV neutral lithium diagnostic beam probes the edge plasma of JET for the measurement of electron density profiles. This paper describes recent enhancements of the diagnostic setup, new procedures for calibration and protection measures for the lithium ion gun during massive gas puffs for disruption mitigation. New light splitting optics allow...

Current conservation mitigation plans often fail to ensure full in-kind habitat replacement for endangered species, which suggests the need for improved methods for calculating mitigation credits. A simple, yet biologically meaningful method for calculating mitigation credits would be to let the number of mitigation credits assigned to a parcel of land scale with the reproductive value of the i...

The bucket ion source is widely used as the high energy beam source on the high power neutral beam injector system. A hot cathode bucket ion source is studied. The main parameters which influence the performance of bucket ion source are arc voltage, filament voltage, gas inlet rate and extracted voltage. The proton ratio is the dominate parameter for the ion source. In the experiment, the chara...
