Hooper (FNAL) S.Swordy,D.Muller, S.Wakely, B.Humensky, L.Reyes, S.Wissel (U.ofChicago) AGIS (Advanced Gamma-ray Imaging System) ANL TrICE Telescope When GLAST discovers dark matter candidates, ANL/UC in perfect position to lead AGIS construction.Theory leadership at FNAL. TeVCat Online Catalog tevcat.uchicago.edu R&D Proposal, Swordy NSF PI, Byrum DOE Co-PI

  4. DAQ System Halogen Lamp and Optical Power Meter Filter Wheel, Monochromator, and Integrating Spheres Dark Energy Survey ANL Group: J. Bernstein, V. Guarino, S. Kuhlmann, H. Spinka, R. Talaga, A. Zhao • Vacuum Vessel Working with J. Marriner (FNAL), R. Kessler (UC) on DES Supernova Strategy DES Mechanical Engineering with FNAL A. Stefanik, H. Cease Portable ANL CCD test-stand, initial X-ray tests at APS next month. Working with J. Estrada, S. Gruenendahl, D. Kubik from Fermilab.

  5. Nuclear Astrophysics Program and Preparations for FRIB Using COUPP bubble chamber design for critical 12C16O rate Theoretical and Experimental Leadership: J. Truran (ANL/UC), R. Holt, K. Rehm, G. Savard, K. Nollett, C. Roberts (ANL)

  6. Transition Edge Sensor Development for CMB Polarization Measurement South Pole Telescope V. Novosad ANL PI for TES Development J. Carlstrom and S. Meyer groups UC V. Yefremenko, A. Datesman, G. Wang, J. Pearson, R. Divan ANL Successful development of first prototypes of single pixel TES devices for polarization measurements @ 95GHz, and 2x2 pixel arrays for multicolor (150GHz, 220GHz, 270GHz, and 350GHz bands) measurements.

  7. FLASH on ANL Blue Gene/P – Type 1a Supernova Explosions FLASH has demonstrated scaling to 131,072 processors, largest 2008 INCITE award with 21 million cpu-hours World’s Fastest Open-Science Supercomputer Initial 3D Simulation – velocities show complex flow

  8. Computational Cosmology I (working with S. Dodelson FNAL/UC, N. Gnedin FNAL/UC, A. Kravtsov UC) ANL/HEP Computing Group ANL/MCS Optimize Adaptive Refinement Tree data format for performance and visualization. Converting to NCSA-developed HDF5 format. Halo Database Baryon Gas (Mesh) Level Files Dark-Matter Particle Level Files Qizhi Zhang from ANL/HEP is MySQL database administrator for FNAL-KICP Cosmos cluster, and developed DB tables. Halo mass distibution made from database files.

  9. Computational Cosmology II (J. Bernstein, S. Kuhlmann ANL working with S. Habib and B. O’Shea LANL) N-Body Simulations on Blue Gene/P, Enzo currently running, working to implement FLASH cosmology code for comparisons. Enzo simulation of 64/h Mpc box at z=10 (left) and z=1 (right) Last 3 slides illustrate vast potential of collaborations, and motivation for future joint SciDAC proposal

  10. Particle Astrophysics Opportunities Rapid expansion of Astrophysics at ANL, all joint projects with FNAL and/or UC Very High Energy Gamma-Rays Dark Energy Survey Nuclear Astrophysics Transition Edge Sensors (CMB/SPT) FLASH on Blue Gene/P – 3D Supernova Explosion Modeling Computational Cosmology
