Principal Slip Zones in Nature and Experiments and Their Role in the Earthquake Cycle
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)Earthquakes generally do not occur in intact rocks but rather within extremely narrow (≤10 cm) principal slip zones found along fault zones. These slip zones are relatively weaker than the surrounding wall rocks suggesting ... -
Assessing Quantum Magnetometry as an EmergingDetection Modality for Strategic Anti-Submarine Warfare
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)Emerging technologies have been a subject of much consternation in the nuclear deterrence communities as people fear they might erode secure second strike capabilities. One such emerging technology is the idea of ‘quantum ... -
Evaluating the use of surface source banking to accelerate Monte Carlo transport simulations of far-field particle fluxes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)In order to enhance the verifiability and usability of surface source banking as a far-field flux and dose simulation acceleration method for Monte Carlo neutron transport codes, two surface source stationarity criteria ...
