Previously, it has been argued that the anomalous emission form the region around the Galactic Center observed by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), known as the "WMAP Haze", may be synchrotron emission from relativistic electrons and positrons produced in dark matter annihilations. In particular, the angular distribution, spectrum, and intensity of the observed emission are...

The 4th Concept Detector will have two proposal designs, a two-solenoid design and a one-solenoid design. Using a finite element analysis (FEM) program called COMSOL, preliminary magnetic field, stress, and deflection analyses were developed for the newer one-solenoid design. Much of the summer was dedicated to understanding COMSOL and learning how to use the computer assisted drawing (CAD)...

The Electronic Logbook (E-Log) used at the D Zero (D0) experiment at Fermilab was designed to improve and replace paper copies of logbooks which were traditionally used. The E-Log book provides a mechanism for placing information on line where it can be accessed, searched and up-dated by individuals from any web browser. This web-based system is flexible and saves both time and space. This...

This paper describes the research performed on a Hall probe based magnetic measurement system in order to determine if it is capable of recording magnetic fields of required magnitude generated by superconducting solenoid magnets. These superconducting solenoids are being developed for a R&D project named High Intensity Neutrino Source. The project design demands a very low stray field due to...

Microwave circulators are important for the RFQ (radio frequency quadripole), that will be installed in the High Intensity Neutrino Source (HINS) linac front end at the Meson Detector building at Fermilab, in order to prevent energy reflections back at the phase shifters. They are composed of magnetized ferrite materials, i.e. garnets, which in collaboration with a permanent magnet produce the...

Information from pixel detectors is sent to data acquisition boards which go on to send the information to computers for analysis. CAPTAN (Compact and Programmable daTa Acquisition Nodes) are versatile and flexible data acquisition boards that allow analog signal from pixel detectors to be digitized and have primary processing done. The information is then sent via ethernet to a computer for...
