Abstract

In the proceeding Comment [1] on our recent report of a Rb spin-exchange polarized-electron source [2], Williams et al. contend: (a) that our source is poorly characterized compared with modern GaAs sources, (b) that we have overstated the difficulties of using GaAs photoemission sources, and (c) that our explanation of various physics issues related to the source's operating principles are not cogent.

Reply to Comment by Robock et al. on “Climate Impact of a Regional Nuclear Weapon Exchange: An Improved Assessment Based on Detailed Source Calculations”

Journal Article Reisner, Jon Michael ; Koo, Eunmo ; Hunke, Elizabeth Clare ; ... - Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres

Robock et al. contend that the reasons for Reisner et al. simulations not producing enough black carbon (BC) in the upper atmosphere are as follows: (1) low fuel loads, (2) high surface winds, (3) omission of latent heat release by cloud formation, and (4) short simulation. We resolve (1) with additional simulations over a range of fuel loads, clarify (2) by noting that our surface winds of 2.4 m/s are below the firestorm threshold, agree that addressing (3) requires more research, and (4) short simulations are appropriate since this is when most of the BC emissions that can reach themore »« less

Commercial Building Technology Demonstration (Final Scientific/Technical Report)

Technical Report Meirav, Udi

The background for this project was a unique and innovative concept that had been proposed and demonstrated by enVerid Systems, reducing the energy consumption in HVAC systems in commercial and public buildings by up to 50% at peak loads. The concept involves selective scrubbing of gas contaminants from indoor air as a practical substitute for outside air ventilation, the latter being the conventional practice today. This scrubbing enables recycling of most of the indoor air and significantly decreasing the amount of outside air, resulting in a reduced HVAC load and commensurate energy savings for the facility.

Nuclear spin polarized H and D by means of spin-exchange optical pumping

Journal Article Stenger, Joern ; Grosshauser, Carsten ; Kilian, Wolfgang ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

Optically pumped spin-exchange sources for polarized hydrogen and deuterium atoms have been demonstrated to yield high atomic flow and high electron spin polarization. For maximum nuclear polarization the source has to be operated in spin temperature equilibrium, which has already been demonstrated for hydrogen. In spin temperature equilibrium the nuclear spin polarization P{sub I} equals the electron spin polarization P{sub S} for hydrogen and is even larger than P{sub S} for deuterium. We discuss the general properties of spin temperature equilibrium for a sample of deuterium atoms. One result are the equations P{sub I}=4P{sub S}/(3+P{sub S}{sup 2}) and P{sub zz}=P{submore »« less

Enhancement of {sup 129}Xe polarization by off-resonant spin exchange optical pumping

Journal Article Parnell, S R ; Deppe, M H ; Parra-Robles, J ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

A high power narrow line width (38 W, 0.09 nm full width at half maximum) external cavity diode laser is investigated for rubidium spin exchange optical pumping of {sup 129}Xe. This tunable photon source has a constant line width, independent of operating power or wavelength within a 1 nm tuning range. When using this laser, an increase in the {sup 129}Xe nuclear polarization is observed when optically pumping at a lower wavelength than the measured Rb electron D{sub 1} absorption. The exact detuning from D{sub 1} for the highest polarization is dependent upon the gas density. Furthermore, at high powermore »« less

RCNP Project on Polarized {sup 3}He Ion Sources - From Optical Pumping to Cryogenic Method

Journal Article Tanaka, M ; Inomata, T ; Takahashi, Y ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

A polarized {sup 3}He ion source has been developed at RCNP for intermediate and high energy spin physics. Though we started with an OPPIS (Optical Pumping Polarized Ion Source), it could not provide highly polarized {sup 3}He beam because of fundamental difficulties. Subsequently to this unhappy result, we examined novel types of the polarized {sup 3}He ion source, i.e., EPPIS (Electron Pumping Polarized Ion Source), and ECRPIS (ECR Polarized Ion Source) experimentally or theoretically, respectively. However, attainable {sup 3}He polarization degrees and beam intensities were still insufficient for practical use. A few years later, we proposed a new idea formore »« less
