LBNE - PMT production testing workshop Tuesday, February 23, 2010. Madison, WI

Xinhua Bai, SDSMT Robert McTaggart, SDSU

Peggy Norris, Sanford Lab & BHSU

1. Join testing method & facility development 2. Join PMT unit production & testing 3. Explore the possibility of mass PMT unit production &

testing & storage in SD – ex. SDSMT, Lead, etc. 4. Lead regional outreach programs during the lifetime of

LBNE

We are interested in:

1. SDSMT – 50 Miles from DUSEL

2. SDSMT: Research Centers

Additive Manufacturing Laboratory (AML)Advanced Materials Process and Joining Lab (AMP)Center for BioEnergy Research and Development – (CBERD) NSF I/UCRCCenter for Bioprocessing Research and Development (CBRD)Center for Friction Stir Processing (CFSP) NSF I/UCRCComposites and Polymer Engineering Laboratory (CAPE) Computational Mechanics Laboratory (CML) Engineering and Mining Experiment Station (EMES) Institute of Atmospheric Sciences (IAS)NASA EPSCoRRepair, Refurbish, and Return to Service Applied Research Center (R3S) 2010 Center South Dakota Space Grant Consortium - NASA Deep Underground Science & Engineering Center – New!

3. Need more temporal space? – one example – Black Hills Business Development Center Office on SDSMT campus• The Black Hills Business Development Center is committed to offering quality, affordable space to attract start-ups and businesses with growth potential. • Within the Center a full range of business services is provided free or at a low cost through sharing. • The facility offers office, lab and light manufacturing space for lease.

http://www.blackhillsbiz.com/ Lab space for lease at $9.10/year/sqft, including everything, half the market price. Total 40,000 sqft, 10,000 sqft by administration office, technical support, conference rooms, etc. 4,000 sqft available on Feb 19, 5yr maximum lease

4. Optical lab at SDSMTDark room

A dark box – not finished yet

- We do some PMT test with UC Davis for LUX. -The water shield (d=8m, h=6m)

5. Optical lab at SDSMT

Analysis room:

Ice/Water Cherenkov GEANT4 simulations (Just started, IceTop simulation model) Data analysis – root based

Some electronics

– Still under development

6. Photonics Laboratory at SDSU

• Dark Room• Two 5 ft X 10 ft Optical Tables• 50 picometer Optical Spectrum Analyzer• Optical Time Domain Reflectometer• Fusion Splicer• Optical Power Meters• Lasers and other optical components

7. METLAB at SDSUhttp://sd-metlab.org/contact.php

• Destructive Testing:– Static/dynamic material testing

systems– Hardness testers– Microscopy systems

• Non-Destructive Testing:– 3-d Computed Tomography– High speed video– Borescope– Metal alloy analyzer– Ultrasonic and phased array– Acoustic emissions– Electromagnetic, magnetic particle,

dye penetrant testing

8. Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering at SDSU

• Photovoltaics• Micro-Nano Electronics and Materials• Satellite Image Processing• Photonics Laboratory• LIDAR Remote Sensing• Electromechanical Systems• Power Systems

• Measurements and Instrumentation Lab• Material Evaluation and Testing Lab (METLAB)• Thermo-Fluids Lab• Dynamic Systems Lab• Energy Analysis and Energy Efficiency Lab• Biofuels/Biomass Energy Conversion • Wind Application Center

It will add: 3 new faculty members in SDSMT2 new faculty members in USD1 new faculty members in SDSU

Most (hopefully all) will be in DUSEL physics

Passed external review Support by SD governor Was approved by SD BORBudget in legislature’s office

9. New PhD program in physics

Questions?

SD version of “ice fishing”

! More local people, including students, are interested! More local resources could be made available toward DUSEL programs

How to make these happen? - More involvement is needed/supported

B.S. in Engineering Physics at SDSU

• 40 hours of Physics, 33 hours of Engineering– “Intro to NE” is Physics 435

• Emphases in ME and EE have access to equipment in both departments

• Senior Design Project required• PMT studies for LBNE could

support ABET accreditation

Innovation Campushttp://www1.sdstate.edu/InnovationCampus/index.cfm

• 125 acres next to SDSU in Brookings

• More than one million square feet of office, lab, and light manufacturing.

• Mission Statement: To create and build a first-class Research Park that encourages University, Business, Industry and Government Researchers, Scientists and Entrepreneurs, to collaborate and succeed in creating wealth and economic development opportunities for the State of South Dakota.
