Korean Neutrino Observatory (KNO) aims to make important discoveries in particle physics and astronomy by building a gigantic neutrino telescope consisting of 260 kiloton water and 40,000 20 inch photomultiplier tubes. Using J-PARC neutrino beam, leptonic CP violation (CPV) could be discovered if the CP is maximally violated, and neutrino mass ordering is guaranteed to be determined with more than 6 sigma for any CPV value. As a neutrino telescope, solar and Supernova burst/relic neutrinos could be studied very precisely. Indirect dark matter search sensitivity is improved by 3 to 4 times than that of Super Kamiokande. There are several candidate sites in Korea and especially Mt. Bisul and Mt. Bohyun are very promising according to our site survey. In this talk, an overview of the KNO is presented.

In this paper, the a-Diamond films were synthesized using filtered vacuum arc source (FVAS), FVAS was composed of a torus structure with bending angle of 60 degree. The radius of torus was 266 mm, the radius of plasma duct was 80 mm and the total length was 600 mm. The magnet parts were composed of one permanent magnet and five solenoid magnets. The plasma duct was electrically isolated from the ground so that a bias voltage could be applied. The baffles inside plasma duct were installed in order to prevent the recoil effect of macro-particles. Cathode was made of graphite with 80 mm in diameter. The effects of solenoid magnet on plasma extraction were investigated by computer simulation and experiment using Taguchi's methode. The source and extraction magnet affected the arc stabilization. The extraction beam current was maximized with low value of the source magnet current and high value of the filtering magnet current. The beam current density was 3.2 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and average deposition rate was 5 $\AA$/sec when the currents of arc discharge, source, extraction, bending, deflection and outlet magnet were 30 A, 1 A, 3 A, 5 A, 5 A, and 5 A, respectively. The beam current density and the efficiency of beam transportation were increased with the positive bias voltage of the plasma duct.

Monthly measurements made at 15 stations along the axis of the upper Neuse River estuary show a highly variable degree of correlation between concentration of suspended particulate material (SPM) and attenuation coefficient (c) of light as measured by transmissometer. Coefficients of determination along transect lines ranged from $0.12{\sim}0.93$ and calibration slopes ranged from $0.50{\sim}5.63$. When examined on a station-by-station basis, coefficients of determination ranged from $0.21{\sim}0.96$ and calibration slopes ranged from $1.04{\sim}4.94$. Surface calibrations made at individual stations over the full 13-month period were the most consistent of all observations and were considerably better than calibrations made using all of the stations on a given day. Organic content, which can dominate the suspended sediment load during some months, does not appear to explain the variations in reliability of the calibrations. However, an abundance of large aggregates with time-varying size and shape distributions may be partly responsible for variations in optical properties of the sediments, and thus may confound the relationship between SPM and c in the Neuse River estuary Time-varying calibrations to account for non-negligible changes in optical properties may not suffice in complex estuarine environments where the in situ particle dynamics are poorly understood. However, the best use of Beam Transmissometer will continue to be for applications such as detecting water-column events or for use in situations where wide error bars in establishing SPM concentrations are acceptable.

Pharmaceutical co-crystals primarily to improve the solubility as well as stability of insoluble drug are to be investigated more intensively for IMDs as US FDA has reclassified co-crystal as a special case of solvates in August this year. In this study, we proposed a mechanism of indomethacin-saccharin co-crystal formation and the creation of transient indomethacin meta-stable form using in-line monitoring tools with the addition rate of anti-solvent as a critical process parameter. Among various instruments, we combined PVM (particle vision measurement) and FBRM (focused beam reflectance measurement) for the in-line monitoring of anti-solvent co-crystallization process. The off-line characterization of resulting powders was carried out employing the PXRD (powder x-ray diffraction) and DSC (differential scanning calorimeter). It was observed that the pathway to the final IMC-SAC co-crystal was significantly dependent upon the anti-solvent addition rate. The process conditions to obtain high quality co-crystal powder effectively were established. Consequently, we concluded that in-line monitoring combing the PVM and FBRM should be useful for the in-line monitoring of pharmaceutical co-crystallization processes.

A two-color particle image velocimetry (PIV) has been developed for measuring two dimensional velocity flowfields and applied to a Mach 2.0 supersonic nozzle. This technique is similar to a single-color PIV technique except that two different color laser beams are used to solve the directional ambiguity problem. A green-color laser sheet (532 nm: 2nd harmonic beam of YAG laser) and a red-color laser sheet (619 nm: output beam from YAG pumped Dye laser using Rhodamine 640) are employed to illuminate the seeded particles. A high resolution (3060${\times}$2036) digital color CCD camera is used to record the particle positions. This system eliminates the photographic-film processing time and subsequent digitization time as well as the complexities associated with conventional image shifting techniques for solving directional ambiguity problem. The two-color PIV also has the advantage that velocity distributions in high speed flowfields can be measured simply and accurately by varying the time interval between two different laser beams due to its high signal-to-noise ratio and thereby less requirement of panicle pair numbers for a velocity vector in one interrogation spot. The velocity distribution in the Mach 2.0 supersonic nozzle has been measured and the over-expanded shock cell structure can be predicted by the strain rate field. These results are compared and analyzed with the schlieren photograph for the velocity distributions and shock location.

반도체 공정에서 일반적으로 오염입자를 측정하는 방법은 테스트 웨이퍼를 ex-situ 방식인 surface scanner를 이용하여 분석하는 particle per wafer pass (PWP) 방식이 주를 이루고 있다. 이러한 오염입자는 반도체 수율에 결정적인 역할을 하는 것으로 알려져 있으며 반도체 선폭이 작아지면서 제어해야하는 오염입자의 크기도 작아지고 있다. 하지만, 현재 사용하는 PWP 방식은 실시간 분석이 불가능하기 때문에 즉각적인 대처가 불가능 하고 이는 수율향상에 도움이 되지 못하는 후처리 방식이다. 따라서 저압에서 오염입자를 실시간으로 측정할 수 있는 장비에 대한 요구가 늘어나고 있는 실정이다. 저압에서 나노입자를 측정할 수 있는 장비로 PBMS가 있다. PBMS는 electron gun을 이용하여 입자를 하전시킨 후 편향판을 이용하여 크기를 분류하고 Faraday cup으로 측정된 전류를 환산하여 입자의 농도를 측정하는 장비이다. 편향판에 의하여 Faraday cup으로 이동되는 입자들은 농도 차에 의한 확산현상이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 Faraday cup 이동 시 발생하는 확산현상을 여러 크기의 Faraday cup과 polystyrene latex (PSL) 표준입자를 이용하여 분석하였다. Faraday cup을 고정 식이 아닌 이동 식으로 설계를 하여 축의 원점을 기준으로 이동시켜 가면서 입자 전류량을 측정하였으며, 이를 기준 (reference) Faraday cup의 측정량과 비교하여 효율을 계산하였다. PSL 표준 입자 100, 200 nm 크기에 대하여 cup의 크기를 바꿔 가면서 각각 평가 하였다. 그 결과 입자의 크기가 작을 수록 더 넓은 구간으로 확산되었고 크기가 작은 Faraday cup의 경우에 정밀한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 편향판을 지나면서 발생하는 입자의 확산현상에 대한 정량적 평가를 수행할 수 있었으며, 추후 PBMS 설계 시 Faraday cup 크기를 결정하고 Faraday cup array 기술을 적용하는데 유용하게 활용 될 수 있을 것으로 기대 된다.

Using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, we analyzed the change of effective focal volume of a confocal system with light intensity. The fluorescence correlation spectroscopy system was home-built in accordance with the He-Ne laser with a wavelength of 632.8 nm, and two kinds of samples (AlexaFluor657 and Quantum dot655) suitable for the wavelength of the laser beam were used. For each sample, we analyzed and compared the correlation functions obtained while changing the intensity of the light source in a range of 1~50 ${\mu}W$. The result shows that the radius of the focal area increases linearly through the increase of particle number and diffusion time in response to an intensity change in weak light below 10 ${\mu}W$. In the higher intensity region (>10~15 ${\mu}W$), the increasing rate of particle number and diffusion time keep increasing but at a much slower rate. Through this result, it was also found that the radius increasing rate of the focal area was reduced however, the radius still increased slightly.

본 연구에서는 PBMS (Particle Beam Mass Spectrometer)와 ISPM (In-Situ Particle Monitor)을 연계하여 BPSG (Borophosphosilicate Glass) 및 PSG (Phosphosilicate Glass) 박막 증착을 위한 CVD (chemical vapor deposition) 공정 중 발생하는 오염입자 발생특성에 대해 비교 평가하였다. 소스는 TEB (Triethylborate), TEPO (Triethylphosphate) 및 TEOS (Tetraethoxysilane)를 사용하였고, 운반가스 및 반응가스로 He과 $O_2$ 및 $O_3$를 사용하였다. 증착온도와 압력은 각각 $450^{\circ}C$, 200 Torr 이었다. 반응기의 배기라인에 PBMS와 ISPM을 설치하고 500 nm 이하의 입자에 대해 공정단계별 시간에 따른 모니터링 결과 전 공정에 걸쳐 동일한 패턴의 입자발생분포를 보였으며, 특히 PBMS의 경우 ISPM의 입자측정한계인 260 nm 이하의 입자크기도 측정할 수 있었다. 입자발생이 안정적으로 일어나는 증착공정 중 PBMS를 통하여 입자크기를 측정한 결과 BPSG의 경우 약 110 nm, PSG의 경우 약 80 nm의 분포를 나타내었다. 이를 통해 TEB 소스가 배제된 PSG의 경우 BPSG의 경우보다 입자의 성장이 지체됨을 확인하였다. 측정에 대한 신뢰성을 확보하기 위해 PBMS 내의 TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) grid를 이용하여 입자를 샘플링 하였고, TEM 분석을 실시한 결과 PBMS 측정결과와 잘 일치하였다. 또한 EDS (Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy) 분석을 통하여 입자성분에 대해 검증하였다.

In this study, the effect of circle tunnel on the force distribution around underground rectangular gallery was investigated using theoretical approach, experimental test and Particle flow code simulation (PFC). Gypsum model with dimension of 1500×1500 mm was built. Tensile strength of material was 1 MPa. Dimension of central gallery was 100 mm×200 mm and diameter of adjacent tunnel in its right side was 20 mm, 40 mm and 60 mm. Horizontal distance between tunnel wall and gallery edge were 25, 50, 75, 100 and 125 mm. using beam theory, the effect of tunnel diameter and distance between tunnel and gallery on the induced force around gallery was analyzed. In the laboratory test, the rate of loading displacement was set to 0.05 millimeter per minute. Also sensitivity analysis has been done. Using PFC2D, interaction between tunnel and gallery was simulated and its results were compared with experimental and theoretical analysis. The results show that the tensile force concentration has maximum value in center of the rectangular space. The tensile force concentration at the right side of the axisymmetric line of gallery has more than its value in the left side of the galleries axisymmetric line. The tensile force concentration was decreased by increasing the distance between tunnel and rectangular space. In whole of the configurations, the angles of micro cracks fluctuated between 75 and 105 degrees, which mean that the variations of tunnel situation have not any influence on the fracture angle.
