Industrial production of RHIC magnets
``Doing more with less`` has always been the signature of the military man and is especially true of Air Force weapons handlers. However, as the military drawdown continues, the phase takes on new meaning and becomes an unmistakable way of life for many. Unfortunately, all the resourcefulness in the world cannot overcome some obstacles, forcing a review of utility and mission effectiveness. How can we continue to reduce our resources and still meet our requirements? This paper documents the efforts under way to create a new tool for high fidelity, dexterous, heavy payload manipulation tasks. The ultimate goal of the Next Generation Munitions Handler Advanced Technology Demonstrator (ATD) is the identification and integration of the enabling technologies necessary to produce a system that reduces weapon loading times and operator workload while addressing mobility requirements
The T2K experiment
The T2K experiment is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. Its main goal is to measure the last unknown lepton sector mixing angle θ13 by observing νe appearance in a νμ beam. It also aims to make a precision measurement of the known oscillation parameters, and sin22θ23, via νμ disappearance studies. Other goals of the experiment include various neutrino cross-section measurements and sterile neutrino searches. The experiment uses an intense proton beam generated by the J-PARC accelerator in Tokai, Japan, and is composed of a neutrino beamline, a near detector complex (ND280), and a far detector (Super-Kamiokande) located 295 km away from J-PARC. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the instrumentation aspect of the T2K experiment and a summary of the vital information for each subsystem
