Aquaculture Perspective of Multi-Use Sites in the Open Ocean: The Untapped Potential for Marine Resources in the Anthropocene

This volume addresses the potential for combining large-scale marine aquaculture of macroalgae, molluscs, crustaceans, and finfish, with offshore structures, primarily those associated with energy production, such as wind turbines and oil-drilling platforms. The volume offers a comprehensive overview and includes chapters on policy, science, engineering, and economic aspects to make this concept a reality. The compilation of chapters authored by internationally recognized researchers across the globe addresses the theoretical and practical aspects of multi-use, and presents case studies of research, development, and demonstration-scale installations in the US and EU

Front-end electro-optical interfaces for CMS HCAL

The CMS experiment is a complex instrument to study particle physics at the energy frontier. An important detector subsystem within CMS is the hadron calorimeter or HCAL, consisting of four subsystems that cover the kinematic region vertical bar eta vertical bar less than 5. This paper provides details of the electrooptical interfaces for the central barrel subsystem that operates in a region of high magnetic field and converts scintillation signals from megatile sampling layers to tower geometry for energy measurement. 3 Refs

Front-end electro-optical interfaces for CMS HCAL

The CMS experiment is a complex instrument to study particle physics at the energy frontier. An important detector subsystem within CMS is the hadron calorimeter or HCAL, consisting of four subsystems that cover the kinematic region $\beta$ <5. This paper provides details of the electro-optical interfaces for the central barrel subsystem that operates in a region of high magnetic field and converts scintillation signals from megatile sampling layers to lower geometry for energy measurement.

Laser developments and resonance ionization spectroscopy at IGISOL

We present an overview of recent laser ion source developments at the IGISOL facility, Jyväskylä. Technological advances in the lasers have led to a considerable increase in second-harmonic laser power with the use of intra-cavity second-harmonic generation, as well as to narrow linewidth capability by applying an injection-locking technique to a Ti:sapphire laser. The use of a diffraction grating for frequency selection in a new laser resonator has dramatically improved the wide-range tunability of the laser system, resulting in an ideal tool for the development of new ionization schemes. The role of different laser bandwidths, laser intensity and environmental broadening mechanisms on the experimental width of the measured spectral line have been studied using bismuth, silver and nickel, in the gas cell and expanding gas jet. Applications of novel ion guide nozzle design has led to remarkably collimated gas jets which overcome the current limitations in the gas cell-based laser ion source trap (LIST) method. Detailed planning is under way to optimize the new laser laboratory and laser transport path in order to fully exploit the unique opportunities afforded by the new IGISOL-4 facility
