This paper discusses the wide range of real-time line monitoring devices which can be used to determine dynamic thermal rating an overhead transmission with power system operating normally or during a contingency. The most common types monitors are described including those that measure clearance, conductor temperature, and weather data in right way. strengths weaknesses various methods evaluated, concluding some more effective normal others contingency conditions.
The electric dipole moments~(EDM) of fundamental particles inherently violate parity~(P) and time-reversal~(T) symmetries. By virtue the CPT theorem in quantum field theory, latter also implies violation combined charge-conjugation parity~(CP) symmetry. We aim to measure EDM muon using frozen-spin technique within a compact storage trap. This method exploits high effective field, \$E \approx 165\$ MV/m, experienced rest frame with momentum about 23 MeV/c when it passes through solenoidal...
A new muon beamline, science innovative channel (MuSIC), was set up at the Research Centre for Nuclear Physics (RCNP), Osaka University, in Osaka, Japan, using 392 MeV proton beam impinging on a target. The production of an intense relies efficient capture pions, which subsequently decay to muons, novel superconducting solenoid magnet system. After pion-capture first $36^\circ$ curved transport line commissioned and flux measured. In order detect target either copper or magnesium placed stop...
This letter of intent proposes an experiment to search for electric dipole moment the muon based on frozen-spin technique. We intend exploit high field, $E=1{\rm GV/m}$, experienced in rest frame with a momentum $p=125 {\rm MeV/}c$ when passing through large magnetic field $|\vec{B}|=3{\rm T}$. Current fluxes at $μ$E1 beam line permit improved sensitivity $σ(d_μ)\leq 6\times10^{-23}e{\rm cm}$, about three orders magnitude more than current upper limit $|d_μ|\leq1.8\times10^{-19}e{\rm...
Jets in photoproduction events have been studied with the ZEUS detector for γp centre-of-mass energies ranging from 130 to 250 GeV. The inclusive jet distributions give evidence dominance of resolved photon interactions. In di-jet sample direct processes are first time clearly isolated. Di-jet cross sections and given a restricted kinematic range.
Charged-lepton flavour-violating (cLFV) processes offer deep probes for new physics with discovery sensitivity to a broad array of models - SUSY, Higgs Doublets, Extra Dimensions, and, particularly, explaining the neutrino mass hierarchy and matter-antimatter asymmetry universe via leptogenesis. The most sensitive cLFV utilize high-intensity muon beams search $μ\rightarrow e$ transitions. We summarize status muon-cLFV experiments currently under construction at PSI, Fermilab, J-PARC. These...

We propose an evolution of the Mu2e experiment, called Mu2e-II, that would leverage advances in detector technology and utilize increased proton intensity provided by Fermilab PIP-II upgrade to improve sensitivity for neutrinoless muon-to-electron conversion one order magnitude beyond providing deepest probe charged lepton flavor violation foreseeable future. Mu2e-II will use as much infrastructure possible, providing, where required, improvements apparatus accommodate beam cope with...
Surface damage caused by high fluence, 351 nm light to fused silica optics can adversely affect the performance of fusion class laser systems like that National Ignition Facility (NIF). It is typically initiated as a small pit and grows in both diameter depth during normal operation with cracks extend into bulk. Mitigation this growth has been previously reported using 10.6 micron CO<sub>2</sub> laser. Here, we report mitigation 4.6 from frequency-doubled, 9.2 The motivation for microns >25...
The next generation of lepton flavor violation experiments need high intensity and quality muon beams. Production such beams requires sending a short, proton pulse to the pion production target, capturing pions collecting resulting muons in large acceptance transport system. substantial increase beam can be obtained by applying RF phase rotation on dedicated FFAG ring, which was proposed for PRISM project.This allows reduce momentum spread purify from unwanted components like or secondary...
Background: Heavy charged particles after nuclear muon capture are an important physics background to the muon-to-electron conversion experiments Mu2e and COMET, which will search for lepton flavor violation at unprecedented level of sensitivity.Purpose: The AlCap experiment aimed measure yield energy spectra protons, deuterons, tritons, $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ emitted muons stopped in Al, Si, Ti low-energy range relevant experiments.Methods: Individual particle types were identified layered...
An observation of Charged Lepton Flavor Violation (CLFV) would be unambiguous evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model. The Mu2e and COMET experiments, under construction, are designed to push sensitivity CLFV in mu e conversion process unprecedented levels. Whether is observed or not, there a strong case made further improving sensitivity, examining on additional target materials. Mu2e-II proposed upgrade Mu2e, with at least an order magnitude rate over Mu2e. approach challenges this...
