Title: NSLS-II Ground Vibration Stability Studies and Design Implementation

Abstract

We report that next-generation synchrotron accelerator facilities pushing the envelope of resolution to just a few nanometers and possibly atomic scale (~1 nm) require extreme stability of their experimental setting. Such stability is greatly influenced by the background micro-seismic activity and natural disturbance sources that are present throughout the globe and the cultural, man-made noise stemming from traffic on nearby highways and railways, operating machinery, and other activities. Defenses against such negatively impacting environment include smart conventional design of facilities, isolation of experiments, careful consideration of the selected site by providing ample distance from sources or protection by depth and, most importantly, qualification/quantification of the ground vibration environment both in terms of amplitude and spectral characteristics. Qualification and quantification of the site-specific noise environment may be utilized in the implementation of defense features in the design of the facility and high-sensitivity experiments. The performance is measured by the adherence to specific stability criteria that are ever-demanding, given the nature of the experiments that are sought where resolution down to a few nanometers is required. Furthermore, the selection of the optimal site and the quantification of the unavoidable background noise are important aspects to be considered in assessing the performance ofmore » such facilities.« less

Cyclist exposure to black carbon, ultrafine particles and heavy metals: An experimental study along two commuting routes near Antwerp, Belgium

Journal Article Hofman, Jelle ; Samson, Roeland ; Joosen, Steven ; ... - Environmental Research

Highlights: • Wearable UFP and BC instrumentation was carried along whilst cycling 2 different commuting routes. • HR-ICP-MS provided elemental information on railway- and roadside-exposed routes. • Heart rate was tracked simultaneously to estimate the personal inhaled pollutant dose. • The bicycle highway route exhibited 300% lower BC and 20% lower UFP concentrations. • Elemental differences are observed between the considered commuting routes. Urban environments typically exhibit large atmospheric pollution variation, in both space and time. In contrast to traditional monitoring networks suffering from a limited spatial coverage, mobile platforms enable personalized high-resolution monitoring, providing valuable insights into personal atmosphericmore »« less

Train Traffic as a Powerful Noise Source for Monitoring Active Faults With Seismic Interferometry

Journal Article Brenguier, F. ; Boué, P. ; Ben‐Zion, Y. ; ... - Geophysical Research Letters

Laboratory experiments report that detectable seismic velocity changes should occur in the vicinity of fault zones prior to earthquakes. However, operating permanent active seismic sources to monitor natural faults at seismogenic depth is found to be nearly impossible to achieve. We show that seismic noise generated by vehicle traffic, and especially heavy freight trains, can be turned into a powerful repetitive seismic source to continuously probe the Earth's crust at a few kilometers depth. Results of an exploratory seismic experiment in Southern California demonstrate that correlations of train-generated seismic signals allow daily reconstruction of direct P body waves probing themore »« less

A Synchronized Sensor Array for Remote Monitoring of Avian and Bat Interactions with Offshore Renewable Energy Facilities

Technical Report Suryan, Robert ; Albertani, Roberto ; Polagye, Brian

Wind energy production in the U.S. is projected to increase to 35% of our nation’s energy by 2050. This substantial increase in the U.S. is only a portion of the global wind industry growth, as many countries strive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A major environmental concern and potential market barrier for expansion of wind energy is bird and bat mortality from impacts with turbine blades, towers, and nacelles. Carcass surveys are the standard protocol for quantifying mortality at onshore sites. This method is imperfect, however, due to survey frequency at remote sites, removal of carcasses by scavengers between surveys,more »« less

NSLS-II Preliminary Design Report

Technical Report Dierker, S

Following the CD0 approval of the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) during August 2005, Brookhaven National Laboratory prepared a conceptual design for a worldclass user facility for scientific research using synchrotron radiation. DOE SC review of the preliminary baseline in December 2006 led to the subsequent CD1 approval (approval of alternative selection and cost range). This report is the documentation of the preliminary design work for the NSLS-II facility. The preliminary design of the Accelerator Systems (Part 1) was developed mostly based of the Conceptual Design Report, except for the Booster design, which was changed from in-storage-ring tunnel configurationmore »« less

Recommendations for on-site vibration standards

Technical Report Fischer, G E

Unless certain common sense precautions are observed, the luminosity of the Collider may be adversely affected by otherwise preventable ground vibrations. Previous work indicates that ground vibrations can be thought of as being caused by the sum of (a) natural and (b) cultural (i.e., man-made) effects, of which the latter can be further divided into uncontrollable and controllable. Examples of category (b) include: traffic, both on site and off site; construction activity on site and off site; assembly of equipment in nearby I.R. Halls, even footsteps in the tunnel; or continuously operating machinery. This note addresses question with respect tomore »« less
