What's New
January 2009
These new citations take users to compilations of data published as data reviews by the Durham High Energy Physics Group at Durham University in the United Kingdom. The data are identified by publications and experiments, and presented together in an easy-to-access format under the application name HEPDATA. The experiments specifically called out in these citations are funded or partially funded by DOE, but HEPDATA will lead interested users to other data collections resulting from non-DOE work as well. The titles of these citations recently added to the DOE Data Explorer are:
- Structure Functions in Deep Inelastic Lepton Scattering (DDE00269)
- Single Photon Production in Hadronic Interactions (DDE00270)
- Two-Photon Reactions Leading to Hadron Final States (DDE00271)
- Drell-Yan Cross Sections (DDE00272)
- Inclusive Particle Production Data in E+E- Interactions (DDE00273)
- Hadronic Total Cross Sections (R) in E+E- Interactions (DDE00274)
- Low Energy Neutrino Cross Sections (DDE00275)

During the past year several DOE National Laboratories have established a presence on YouTube by posting lab-produced videos. Many are promotional or educational clips, but others have excellent science content. Watch George Smoot, co-winner of the 2006 Nobel prize for physics, as he lectures on cosmic background radiation. Look at video entries submitted for consideration in DOE's annual R&D Top 100 Awards. Watch how honeybees are trained to fight terrorism. During September, the DOE Data Explorer added eight new citations to help users quickly find DOE science videos in the huge ocean of multimedia that is YouTube. These citations are:
- Berkeley Lab Science Videos on YouTube (DDE00255)
- Brookhaven National Laboratory's Science Videos on YouTube (DDE00260)
- Idaho National Laboratory's Science Videos on YouTube (DDE00258)
- Los Alamos Science Videos on YouTube (DDE00256)
- National Energy Technology Lab's Science Videos on YouTube (DDE00262)
- Oak Ridge National Lab's Science Videos on YouTube (DDE00259)
- Pacific Northwest Lab's Science Videos on YouTube (DDE00261)
- Sandia Lab's Science Videos on YouTube (DDE00257)

Several new citations have been added to the DOE Data Explorer in order to better represent not only the vast amount of data available from DOE's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program, but also some of the different and customized ways in which the data are categorized for access. In addition to the citations that already represented ARM data by major sites, new entries have been added to guide users to ARM's Showcase Data Sets, the Aerial Vehicles Program data, the data submitted to the ARM Archive by individual Principal Investigators, ARM data categorized by specific measurements or specific instruments, data identified by Field Campaign/Intensive Operational Periods, etc. All together, ARM data collections are represented in DOE Data Explorer by the following citations:
- DDE00025 - Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Data from the Tropical Western Pacific (TWP) Site.
- DDE00032 - Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Data from the North Slope Alaska (NSA) Site
- DDE00037 - Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Data from the Southern Great Plains (SGP) Site
- DDE00115 - Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Data from Shouxian, China for the Study of Aerosol Indirect Effects in China [NEW]
- DDE00202 - Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Data from Black Forest Germany for the Convective and Orographically Induced Precipitation Study (COPS)
- DDE00203 - Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Data from Niamey, Niger for the Radiative Atmospheric Divergence using AMF, GERB and AMMA Stations (RADAGAST)
- DDE00204 - Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Data from Point Reyes, California for the Marine Stratus, Radiation, Aerosol, and Drizzle (MASRAD) Project
- DDE00211 - Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Data Plots and Figures
- DDE00247 - Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Data from ARM's Aerial Vehicles Program (AVP) [NEW]
- DDE00248 - Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Data Products from Principal Investigators [NEW]
- DDE00249 - Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Data from ARM's Specific Measurement Categories [NEW]

- DDE00252 - Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Data from Field Campaigns or Intensive Operational Periods (IOP) [NEW]
- DDE00253 - Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Data from Showcase Data Sets [NEW]
- DDE00254 - Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Value-Added Data Products (Including Evaluated Data Sets)
August 20, 2008
Added citation DDE00251 for data from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP) Networks. This is a nationwide network of sites collecting data on the chemistry of precipitation for monitoring of geographical and temporal long-term trends. DOE is one of many cooperating entities, including federal agencies, states, private industry, and others.

The ALEXIS satellite was launched in April of 1993 by Los Alamos National Laboratory as an experiment in operating and rescuing a satellite and as a way to test techniques and technologies that might be used in future space missions. One of the payloads on the ALEXIS was the Blackbeard Radio Experiment/Project. Blackbeard captured transient radio impluses that came to be known as Trans-Ionospheric Pulse Pairs (TIPP). The Blackbeard experiment has been superceded by the Los Alamos FORTE satellite, but the Blackbeard home page still provides access to some of the images and data plots from the mid-1990s. Citation DDE00246 has been added to the DOE Data Explorer to help you find this older information.
July 20, 2008
Added new record DDE00244 for the Biomass Energy Data Book, Edition 1, 2006. Published by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), this book is a compendium of statistics and data that characterize the biomass industry and is currently only available online.
July 14, 2008
New record DDE00243 added. This citation leads you to DZero (D0) Experiment Results for Top Quark physics from the Tevatron Collider at Fermilab. The DZero Experiment consists of a worldwide collaboration of scientists conducting research on the fundamental nature of matter. Search on the term DZero to find citations in the DOE Data Explorer that link to other data collections from this collaboration.

Each month the "Featured Data Collection" area of the DOE Data Explorer home page highlights a collection, providing a quick link to either the citation in the database or directly to the collection itself. The first featured collection was the Evaluated Nuclear Data File (ENDF), available from the National Nuclear Data Center (NNDC). Record DDE00054 describes this important data collection. July's feature calls attention to the Microbial Genomics Data from the DOE Joint Genome Institute (JGI). See DDE00201 or visit the JGI's web portal at http://genome.jgi-psf.org/mic_home.html
July 8, 2008
The Hydrology Web at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has been retired, and, accordingly, record DDE00193 has been removed from the DOE Data Explorer. See the Hydrology Group's web page at http://hydrology.pnl.gov/ for the latest information on their research areas and projects.
Added new record DDE00242 to guide users to the supplemental data and figures on video that support publications from the Superconductivity and Magnetism Low-temperature Laboratory at Ames Lab.
